Absolute Security is a Myth
Jason Miller, 2005-04-08

No operating system is completely immune to security threats, and that includes Apple's OS X.

You quote in your article 'What I'm saying is this: vulnerabilities are everywhere, and good security practice means that you should never consider your software to be 100% vulnerability free. Security threats of all types feed on vulnerabilities; no operating system is immune to vulnerabilities, and users of any operating system need to understand that.'

Why don't you just say that and not go on about it with various plays on words.

My car has not killed anyone BUT IT COULD.

My cat has not killed a cow 'but no cow is safe from it'.

Everything that is said is true until it's proved a lie. Some things are proved lies, some things aren't.

One other reason security issues are not prevalent on Mac's is that there are far more rich pickings (for hackers) on MS systems and generally pc's (that run MS systems) have been cheaper to obtain than Macs.

I could go on but I wont.

Your article seemed a tad obsessive to me.
