Fact of the matter is, OS's should be Malware free. But also, copy protected software shouldn't be crackable. Encoded movies shouldn't be copyable. Married women shouldn't be ****able. Banks shouldn't be robbable.

Anytime somebody wants bad enough to accomplish something, they will. The real thing protecting Apple and Linux... lack of market share. The pros don't target bums for the big heist. If you you are going to put effort into something, you do it for the returns, and writing a devastating linux/mac malware (when linux varieties are far less standardized than MS OS's, and mac has 80%+ less market share) just isn't going to get you the attention/money etc. that tampering with the market share leader will accomplish.

I hope it's running in real real-time and not just real time like the previous trailer at last year's E3. Because as real as time was at the time, the demo wasn't very real, just based on what they believed would be real.. at the time.

ThinSkin writes: "People normally rule out ergonomic mice because these mice are just plain kooky, or their features don't extend beyond two buttons and a scroll wheel. The VerticalMouse 3 is doing everything it can do to break into mainstream use by offering a very familiar shape that resembles an ordinary mouse turned 90 degrees, while also providing five buttons and four one-the-fly dpi modes (up to 2600 dpi). ExtremeTech's review of the VerticalMouse 3 cites very positive experiences with the mouse, although warns users that it slightly errs from a true, 90 degree handshake position."
