Mac Gets New Virus

On Thursday Intego, a security software company for Mac OS, sent out a warning to everyone about a new trojan
horse virus that is spreading around the internet. Currently the trojan is only found in pirated versions of Apple's iWork '09 software.

Haha…Apple is going to lose a LOT of money out of this. Their whole point of being “better than pc” is by not having viruses (among some other things). Now, that this is shot, what are they going to do?

The only way they will be able to get rid of this is by acting quickly and getting rid of this. Still, the damage has been done…can’t wait to see their whole reaction to this…

People who think Macs wont have viruses are stupid. They already exist for it, unfortunately there arent enough Macs for it to spread.

One hacker called OSX like "swiss cheese" to hack. And the OSX laptop being hacked first proved it. It took third party software to hack a Windows computer, but MS doesnt get any credit for that (being able to hack it isnt their fault, its Adobe's (who are the worst programmers in the world in my opinion)).

Edit to below: Flash is ok because it was mainly developed by Macromedia (though adobe is messing it up real quick, silverlight is actually looking better). But the first thing i do with a computer is uninstall adobe acrobat reader and install Foxit reader (amazing difference).

I know what you mean Drew...Macs are decent computers however, I have a lot of friends that run with the above phrase and it ticks me off...so I am sending this to all of them so that they can finally see "recent" proof that they "can" get it.

One thing I don't like about Adobe, is it is almost required for full use of your computer. There are some many places out there that require you to use it for one thing or another. Oh well, it isn't so much of a hassle, just annoying I suppose (much like others like it).

It goes to show there there are good and bad things of all operating systems, and that all are just as vulnerable to viruses as others.

As an accessibility option for those that need it im all for it. As the standard control for ps6 helllll noo, touch controller would be the absolute worst.

Eonjay24d ago

Reading the patent itself this does seem to be intended with accessibility in mind as it attempts to solve comfort issues that some users have with overall size and placement. Im completely fine with the current layout but its nice to know this option is there. It is intended to allow customers the ability to resize the controller to there liking even those the company may not manufacture that size. So, its cool to see they are thinking like this even though this product may not be for me. I would still love to see it release and see the potential use cases.

Digital will always be worse than physical buttons for 99% of gaming lol.

DivineHand12524d ago

This is interesting not only for accessibility reasons, but as a way to give players more control over their in game characters for core gamers.

I remember seeing the Tactus pop up buttons at CES 13 years ago and I was excited for the technology but I am not aware of any devices that used it.

The way gaming controllers are presented today is great, but I will always advocate for innovation in giving players more control and increased immersion.

MetalNCarnet24d ago

Terrible idea. For most games, you need to feel the physical buttons because you're not looking at the controller. I hope they aren't serious.

fr0sty24d ago

Unless they've worked out a way for tactile feedback so you can feel them. Perhaps little air bladders that could inflate when a button is placed in that position, placed under a flexible screen? Maybe it wouldn't be the best controller for all of us, but I know people who have medical conditions that make holding traditional controllers very uncomfortable with their default button layouts, this could help them.

More accessibility options is never a bad thing, but man I hate that all electronics seem to be pushing touchscreen controls on everything.

They are just garbage

badz14924d ago

We are at the point in time when touch screen controls are cheaper to make than physical buttons. Just look at modern cars. More and more system controls are moved to the central screen now that all new cars come with screens. It's downright ironic too, considering just not that many years ago, people were warn to not use their phone while driving. Now all controls are moved to the central screen that you can't help but looking at screens while driving.

fr0sty24d ago

EXCEPT trying to connect your phone, lol. They make you stop to do that. But the big screen that is every bit as distracting as a phone, it's cool.
