Mac/apple Dickriders Now What You Got To Say

[THE GRANDJURY]

It looks like the care free days when Mac owners could sit back and relax without having to worry about malware are indeed coming to an end - maybe. Last month we told you about two new pieces of OS X malware that had been discovered and while neither poses a significant threat in most people’s eyes, it is clearly a sign of things to come. As loyal and vocal as Mac computer users are, until recently they hardly represented a significant portion of the market. As such, those responsible for creating end user-targeted malware focused on Windows since it was the clear and overwhelming market leader. Now that Apple’s computer market share is growing however, Mac user complacency with regards to viruses might lead to some big and easy scores for malware. Apple recently posted the following technical note as a result:

Apple encourages the widespread use of multiple antivirus utilities so that virus programmers have more than one application to circumvent, thus making the whole virus writing process more difficult.

The page goes on to recommend three antivirus solutions for OS X, two of which are offered for sale in the Apple Online Store. For the time being, we still haven’t heard any reported cases of a virus actually finding its way to a Mac computer in a real life situation so the following question is posed: Has Apple just firmed up its deals with antivirus providers or are we really in store for a hail storm of Mac malware sooner than we think? In either case, at least we won’t be seeing the commercial above air again any time soon.

my mac friends tell me that how os x is its impossible for a mac to get a virus, but when i ask them why does the apple store sell antivirus software they never have a answer

 

[divine]

I'll cross that bridge when I get to it, until then.. fuck a virus.

pick better friends who don't lie to you over silly stuff.

Don't say nothing that can get you in trouble,
just give me a sign that it was you who did it.
How about the funky robot dance.​

 

[exiledking]

if you don't have a mac then why do you care? congrats, you now have company in your misery.

...angry op....angry op

 

[Jane & Finch]

You seem excited.

I've been running multiple Macs for 11 years, so that's about 1 malware/virus scare every 11 years..

That's sounds pretty damn good.

 

[doggish_098]

my mac's still run fine. i have been using them all my life.

Guess you forgot to read this part.

are we really in store for a hail storm of Mac malware sooner than we think?

 

[Winchesta Heat]

Basically. But while we're at it, ANY OS can be touched. Anybody not taking the proper precautions is ASKING for it, no matter what you use.

But I'll still rock with Macs till Apple stops makin' em.

 

[OnSlaught]

Had a Mac for the past 6 yrs...I'm sure someone will try to fuck with it, but that's what antivirus software is for right? Up until this point no problems.

SO....

Co-mothafuckin-sign that..

been powerbookin' for 3 years...no virus, no nothing..as if my shit was wearin' a condom everytime it was fucking with the world wide web...

whoever said mac owners are cooky is right, they just forgot to mention mac owners have a reason. next question...

 

[RoadRage]

I think that the Mac is gonna get hit hard real soon, why you ask?
Well there are a few reasons why, one is that every time a person boast how the mac can't get virus they are inavertantly daring viral programmers to prove them wrong. In the viral programing twisted ass world, its all about status and inflicting the most damage, and to them Macs are the new white train just dying to get tagged on. The next reason why, is because most Mac heads aren't equipped to deal with viruses on their computers, they've been on auto pilot for so long that they forgot how to fly the plane. For this reason it would spread faster with in the Mac community than most viruses do in the PC world. The bottom line is that all O.S. can be touched, and with the price of fame, there comes the same headaches, that many of yall used to laugh at with the PC.

 

[freshnclean]

any computer can get a virus.....the only difference is mac has 20 and pc has 20 million

You catz are deranged?...WTF the OP dropped this GOTCHA BITCH bullshit post...and nobody in this thread "boasts how the mac can't get a virus"...

You and the OP are just some non-pussy getting mothafuckas that need to get a life...............and get over yourselves!


Yes I'm sitting here with three computers in this room, A mac running Tiger, A laptop running Vista and a desktop running XP......have no clue why folks are hating.

 

[RoadRage]

I have actually heard kats say that shit, I am not talking about all but there are some who believe actually that shit. Thats when the PC kats usually have to give the old, "well the reason why PC have viruses is because there are more PC users" speech.

Nah you can't have it both ways, why is it you guys are allowed to go to every 'Help I have a virus' tech post only to make the same ass lame comment, 'well you should have brought a mac instead' and now when the table is turned you guys are getting mad tight?

 

[dasmybikepunk]

You know!!!

I'm like this is equivalent at being mad at Burger Kings success because you favor McDonald's

what tables are turned?

Coming from a guy with close to 10,000 post telling me to get a life. It's usually the people who get no pussy or get it very rarely that talk about other people not getting pussy. How in the hell did you mix in not getting pussy to a MAC thread. You act like I'm talking about a loved one of yours. And go ahead and search in BGOL any post that talks about a PC user having a virus problem and you will see multiple people stating to get a MAC, since MAC OS's cant get viruses

Unlike some here my post count is over years....once you been here long as I have at your post count rate you'll be around 10,000 too...

The rest is yadayada ya....with the mac and pc war bullshit...do ya thang if that's ya thang....

Oh yeah my woman is in her t-shirt and panties getting ready to watch Heroes and afterward what was that you said about getting pussy

 

[RoadRage]

Well like I said, viruses are going to run through the Mac operating system faster, because fewer Mac user take the proper precautionary measures need to immunize their computer correctly and due to the fact that now that programmers have the source code to make the viruses, you can expect the virus programing sicko community to be competing with each other to become the first person to create the first big virus to hit the Mac.
If it sounds like I am clowning on Macs I am not, I actually clown on the notion that there are people who spend big bucks on a computer and not have a clue how to prevent viruses from destroying their shit. And over the years I noticed that instead of learning how to deal with the shit properly, a lot of them ran out to buy Macs. Whats funny is many of them who don't know diddly squat about computers, now talk like they know more than anyone, and have the nerve to claim to be computer smart because they brought a Mac.

There are people with Mac who dosn't have a clue towards the advantages of having a Mac over a PC, and they are really clueless and sometimes in deep denial on the advantages of having a PC over a Mac.
I really respect the ones who actually do know, the advantages vs the disadvantages, but the ones who say because they don't get viruses should get clowned by everyone, not just PC heads.

You still typing close to 7 post a day. And we on the internet, I dont know what you got sitting next to you. Bitch might look like Wanda from In Living Color for all we know.

 

[VegasGuy]

We have too reason to be a little bit smug. Macs don't get infected like Windows boxes.

But you obviously never talked to a Linux head. Man, go to an Ubuntu forum and ask a question like, "how to do I get my wireless card to work on the net?" Then if you question the answer, and you will because them mother fuckers over there live in the ether, you'll get Ock'd like no tomorrow.

But on the issue of two reported malware shits, even they are a non issue:

while neither poses a significant threat in most people’s eyes, it is clearly a sign of things to come

So I'll wait and see just how serious this thing gets. The dude didn't even feel it important to post the damn to an official Apple site. He links to a series of blogs. So fuck em.

I have a MAC Pro. Best purchase i ever bought. I owned a dell, and a compaq(now HP).

MAC OSX is a very solid OS. Its built off of Unix which is a very solid kernel.

Mac VS PC. Mac computers just work. Never had any major problems.

To me there is no better feeling than building your own rig been building for over 10 years and can't ever see myself buying a desktop computer ever again.
Wanna impress me, tell me that you built your own mac workstation.
