Comment How do we know antivirus works? zero virii in wild (Score 1) 484

1) Write app which "looks" like it does something. 2) Make it shiny icons & UI 3) Guarantee up to 1 million USD 4 any data loss via virus. 4) Profit!!! I think physical access is required for even theoretical exploits. How do we know "any" Mac OS X antivirus app works? It has to find nothing to prove it.... hmm. What a racket!

Comment New Security app 4 OS X- 100% accuracy, low cost! (Score 1) 484

1) I write an application using interface builder. The icon is extra shiny - the UI is sexy - attaching knobs, sliders, buttons, progress bars showing "blood vessels" being filled with pure green glowing fluid. It looks like it is doing all sorts of things, claims to utilize a new Quantum computing algorithm no one else can. 2) In order to detect all zero computer virus, trojan, etc. It doesn't need to "do" anything. I therefore make sure it does nothing. Just looks sexy and like it's always working away.... 3) I include a full warranty, plus up to $1,000,000 if any Mac OS X virus destroys your data. Satisfaction guaranteed, 90 day money back offer. 4) Profit!!!!! In fact, since there has never been a virus on Mac OS X, what criteria can we use to evaluate the ability of antivirus software which has nothing to detect? Republicans confirm, it is easy to scare people, especially non tech people.

All combined TabletPC's are too small of a market, even for a small company like Apple. -steve @ shareholders meeting. Netbooks, have so many compromises, less than an full OS, underpowered. Who "Needs" this product for work/school/hobby - is it worth no DVDs, a screen too small to read? Does not meet minimum requirements for Office? Who is this for??? iPod was for everyone who listens to music. Mac was for people who found computers complicated and too hard to use. iPhone gave one device with features which are useful instead of 95% unused.... Who buys a netbook, and why?
