the only reason macs didn’t get attacked was because they weren’t popular enough to justify it

Tens of millions of arrogant/smug/(insert slur here) mac users out there for years, and now we hit the tipping point? Really?

I, for one, am glad the Iranian nuclear program was smart enough to see thru the whole 'mac' facade and save some coin.

right, because a targetted attack could never work against a mac. See this is the crap we are talking about. Macbots just don't get it. They swear better security and make outrageious claims (like your Iranian nuke plant claim). As if using Macs would have prevented the targetted atttack. Maybe you should read about the pwn2own contest where OSX has lost the contest easily for not 2, not 3, but 4 yes 4 years in a row! Macbot excuse 1st year: Everyone wants a mac so they only focussed on cracking the mac. Macbot excuse 2nd year: Everyone wants a mac so they only focussed on cracking the mac, plus it was a pre-staged attack so that doesn't count. Macbot excuse 3rd year: It was a pre-staged attack from a computer genius and ex-NASA employee. No one else in the world could accomplish such an attack. Macbot excuse 4th year: I have yet to hear one as it was a Canadian that cracked OSX in 5 seconds.

LOL. Not really the same, but understood. Maybe Siemens had something to do with Weiner?
