Comment

I think that the company sponsoring this competition is discovering something I've experienced for as long as I've been part of the Macintosh using community; namely that there are an awful lot of Mac users who want the world to think that they are intellectuals when they are actually bereft, wise when they are actually fools, and brave when they are actually cowards.

This, however, is a situation in which the sponsoring company is not wise. Wherever there are security measures, there are ways around them and virus writers are specialists at discovering those detours.

I love my Mac, and I love OS X, but I'm not silly enough to tell anyone, "Go ahead; try and invade."

Even Dirty Harry ain't that dumb.
