UnknownSoldier writes "Wired reports that researchers at Tel Aviv University have discovered you can "lock" a magnetic field into place with a semiconductor. They have a very cool demonstration of a frozen puck and some of the neat things you can do with it while its orientation remains locked but its location is movable.

But, it appears that the attackers who are creating the more recent Mac malware either have experience writing Windows-based malware or are simply paying close attention to what's been working for Windows malware for all of these years.

By this point, I should be able to pick up a 2 by 4 ft. panel from the side of the street by the peaches stands.
