"So there."

 

Caused by Intel hardware.

There's no evidence of what actually happens to an OSX system if it is
hacked, though.

I'd also note that the demo wasn't given 'live' - it was a video
recording, so we don't actually know if it exists or not.

HTH.

 

It runs on my Windows XP machine using VMWare quite happily. Oh hang
on, perhaps you didn't mean that kind of hacking.

That wasn't why I posted it... it was more a folow on from your
"wireless is secure" post.

 

Damn those pesky hackers. They'll be stealing the very letters from
your words next.

I thought, for a moment, you were having a dig at Macs in general.

Oh, right.

I didn't actually say that wifi is secure, just that I couldn't really
see the issue if you were operating on a VPN over wifi.

I mean, wifi can be turned on on our machines, it's just that we can't
tweak the network settings, meaning it's useless. But it means the
machines could still be open to hackers. IYSWIM.

 

fking bastrds.

 

Sounds like your average teenage child.

Well, there's no evidence that it's an issue on pre-Intel Macs, so I'm
putting it down to the Apple switch to shitty generic hardware.....

Personally, I'm sticking with my G4 machine for as long as possible.

 

Sounds like a lodger I had. Wasn't named Bobby, was it?

How could /they/ possibly know?

 

You'd be very naïve to think that you're safe.

 

well then, I hold the **** personally responsible for the failure of
the display daughterboard in my G4 iBook then. ****.

 

All hardware is shitty generic hardware

I'm not.

I checked the other day and I'm supposed to be somewhere else that will
probably be less fun, but needs to be done.

 

Does he blanch and fry twice?
