This all feels so MSish...they did the same kind of thing when the woke to and found the Internet. Then they went whole hog and put the Internet in all of their products, and created about 50 zillion security problems, too.

My guess is if Apple had the market share MS has, you would see far more holes needing a plugging. Contrary to popular belief, there are ways to mess you up, Apple or no Apple. Apple is NOT immune to virus issues and it has--in my considered opinion--more to do with a smaller user base than some inherent "hackproof" Apple OS.
Those that want to create issues choose MS as their favorite thing to ruin because there are so many of us depending on MS. When our laptops are damaged, it is not like most users with jobs that do not depend on computers to provide steaks for the BBQ and kibble for their dogs. Our systems die, we die.
Apple is secure, hardly. What Apple is, is not as widely used as Windows.
Also, my opinion is most people create their own problems because they think it will never happen to them. Then it does and it is MS's fault.
I read a storey about a virus infecting the microcontrollers in Apple laptop batteries. I was amazed. Never saw such a thing with my (well, my long lost stolen by people I wish to fall off a 300 story building and land in front of a Sherman Tank and then face 300 years in front of a firing squad; revived and eaten by weasels and sent to the hottest place in the after life where Satan makes them listen to bad rap and eat raw chicken gizzards, wings and thighs, then returned to my Grandmother for a talking too before I beat them with my spiked shillelagh. But that is just me)
The net is evil, but as long as you all have me, it will be A-OK!
