Apple needs BSD to survive they will bale them out lol. I do think that BSD is struggling with funding cause of Linux popularity boom over last few years. Linux has taken great strides to be come more commercial and get more support on server backed end with Dell, HP and IBM. I do not see BSD having big leaps like that plus they need a better PR rep. Every customer I go to ask for Linux because we are a Linux shop on our commercial side I very rarely see anyone ask for BSD support.

Comment Re:15% detection rate? (Score 1) 99

I had an iPhone and I hated all the app restrictions. I am willing to deal with a little malware to have more open source phone. Plus 15% is not bad we have so many Virus ridden machines come in the store and they have Avast, Nortain or McAfee I really thing virus and malware detection is BS anymore.

Submission + - $1 Billion Dollar Apple Stock Scheme (washingtonpost.com)

helix2301 writes: "A trader from New York has been charged in a scheme that involved the unauthorized purchase of about $1 billion of Apple stock that wound up costing his Connecticut-based employer $5 million, federal prosecutors said Tuesday. David Miller, while employed as an institutional sales trader for Rochdale Securities LLC in Stamford, executed a trade to buy 1.6 million shares of Apple Inc. stock in October on a day the company was scheduled to announce earnings, prosecutors said. The scheme was designed so Miller would profit if the stock price rose, but it declined, they said."
