Should I get some virus software? Wait, do they even make them for Mac? I’m still wondering where all these Mac viruses are. Should I get some virus software? Wait, do they even make them for Mac?

Especially the laser zapping down every time someone sends an email. It's like someone from 1980 made a video about their vision of the future in 1990. I love the Fujitsu ad.

I browsed the piece and saw “It’s little surprise then that reports of Mac viruses have been rising steadily.” I quickly closed the Window as I wasn't having a particularly good day. At least here and can read truth while picking up some greek mythology, all while being entertained. Thanks Daniel! Gerd also nominated Kay yesterday in the forum.

Just a minor editorial quibble - you have a favourite expression, "reign in", as in: "...over-confident hubris reigned in by the gods." This spelling of "reign" means "hold royal office: rule as king or queen." What I think you mean is "rein in" as in "cause (a horse) to stop or slow down by pulling on its reins." Daniel, thanks for the usual superb analysis.

Well, it’s hard to say that it hasn’t been the norm on Windows if it’s been a problem ever since the dawn of time until Vista, and especially the dawn of pervasive networking. ;-)

It just might be that they’ve learned something after a few decades.

Perhaps Mr. Kay is going short on Apple's stock... It’s frustrating to see the market respond to articles like this, causing Apple’s stock to drop in value.
