In enterprise settings it's common for AV to be run on linux machines that interact with windows machines. ClamAV also exists for OS X. TFA is just an applehate troll. Windows users whose machines can become infected from emailing or exchanging files with another machine are doing it wrong, regardless of the OS serving the malware.

No,it's ok because he (you?) was trying to conflate nutritional information with superstition. As for the rest, you made it up. I never made the claim you seem to think I made (that diet is THE answer-- just AN answer, but an answer that works for many people). Your inability to understand my words without adding your own superfluous interpretation, followed by compulsively aggressive outbursts based upon your misunderstanding must make life really hard...

Actually, my post is informative and you're simply trolling --probably because you're one of the "normal Americans" who thinks you should be able to live on factory food and fast food (or worse, a "traditional American diet") while using chemicals from Big Pharma to magically control the damage you do with your unrestricted eating.

If having a sucky life makes you depressed then you aren't mentally ill, you just have a sucky life, it's normal to be depressed then...

This. What a lot of people call "depression" is really the result of cowardice; they need to face making some change(s) but instead simply live in denial and become hopeless. Real depression isn't circumstantial -- if the idea of winning the lottery cheers you up,you're probably not actually depressed.

Not a fanboy and never made the claim that everyone wants the same things I do. But if you want to seriously dispute that the iPhone singlehandedly revolutionized the mobile device market, I don't think I need to say anything in response; the argument speaks for itself.

Yes, the iPhone was the device that got all the tech semi-literates and illiterates to use web-enabled mobile devices. Thats the revolution of which you speak. However, many of us were already there well before the iPhone brought it to a level even the pre-verbal could use. And BTW: painfully obvious fanboi is painfully obvious.

I'm sure that there are hundreds of thousands of people with long term depression who have never considered that, or rejected it because they hate leafy greens.

Good thing we don't need leafy greens to get our B-complex then. But seriously, I don't doubt that people suffering from depression would be handicapped in learning about this. They have little motivation, by nature.

depression isn't made up shit that can be fixed with a magic diet.

Not a magic diet, proper nutrition. Neanderthal.

Hardly, but your typical Apple hate has made you think that it is.

FYI, I actually had an iPhone 3GS for about 3 months. Couldn't stand it. Yes, it looked great, but with the sole exception of surfing the web I found it quite inferior to my Blackberry. And web surfing on a handheld is not my idea of a good time anyway. Within a week I was back to my old Blackberry for all my mobile needs. Obviously, YYMMV. Those who are all about the browser, facebook, and so on probably prefer the iPhone. Not me. Why is it you fanbois can never understand that not everyone wants the same things you do?

When you can report that all the many studies done on this subject agree, you might actually have something. There are so many studies whose results contradict each other every day. This is why we need to learn to think critically, and not just swallow every bit of "information" we get from some "study". Do you think this particular study actually surveyed evey household in the US? :)
