@NGUpremier : have you noticed that all macs boot in like 30 seconds while linux or windows machines boot in like 12? have you noted how mac os x loads all sorts of unnecessary services every time you start your computer? have you noticed how almost all windows or linux machines can run faster than macs? have you noticed that the resale values of macs are really low?
YES. DO SOME FUCKING RESEARCH.
Btw, Safari got pwned in less than 5 minutes 2 years in a row at Pwn2Own (1st down on mac os x)

@systemsfailed Half the specs? Yes. I think I wrote it correctly. If it was at the same specs, Windows would boot in 2x the time at least and wouldn't be able to run as fast as a mac.
@systemsfailed Oh God. I knew this comment was going to come. Please, tell me that Windows is faster than Mac on a machine with the same specs. I'm not counting games, because that it just unfortunate that Microsoft are assholes and pretty much force every game to be on the PC. I know nothing about computers? Please, I have been working with computers since the age of three with my Windows NT computers. I still have then today. Please, don't make accusations based on no prior knowledge.
@systemsfailed Oh my god. Have you seen the boot times? Shut down speeds? How Mac OSX works the second you turn it on without having to wait for hundreds of system processes to start just so you can use the computer itself? Can a computer with the same Specs as the low end 13 inch MBP do that? Do those computers have the same build quality? The same re-sale value? NO. DO SOME FUCKING RESEARCH.
@iamgig9876 you can play games on a mac. you install Apple Boot camp and then you can run PC which allows you to place games, and you STILL don't get viruses like a PC
@U23Drocs code: 0x80070005 thats what happened when i used bootcamp to run video games in my mac, then i sold it for the ovrprced price i bought its two core ass for
@U23Drocs code: 0x80070005 thats what happened when i used bootcamp to run video games in my mac, then i sold it for the ovrprced price i bought its two core ass for
@U23Drocs uhhh... you can get viruses on Macs and Windows? and btw, windows is NOT pc. pc is a personal computer, which does not include operating systems.
It should also be noted that MW3 is running on a 4 year old graphics engine which Macintosh computers could only squeeze 28FPS out of a mere two years ago. Even though Apple tends to offer small, incremental updates with each refresh, I would still hope it would be playable at this point in time.
@iamgig9876 then buy a console, i love how all these pc fanboys are like "ooh macs can't play games they suck" yeah honestly keep your crumbling crappy windows I'm playing with power on my imac biatch.
@ZwittyD LOL. i never realized that..HOW IRONIC! ( waa..you are not allowed to install our o.s in your windows computer..but you can install your windows o.s. in our apple world computer..blaah)...hypocritical irony.LOL
the reason macs get less virus' is because hackers dont put in the time to make a virus for a company with less users. they make virus's for pc's cuz they have a lot more people using them
@Punkstaren There are no active viruses right now but I'd classify Leap-A as a virus. A Trojan is typically based on whether you you install software rather than merely download it.
@thelordalpha1 No it doesn't. A virus is a form of malware (Along with trojans, worms, etc). MacDefender is a Trojan. MacDefender can not self replicate and requires user intervention to install (root access). It is not a "virus".
@lonelykatana Yes, I think you're a complete jackoff too, but accept your admittance. I've been around almost since day 1 (TRS-80 Level 1 in 1978). Built my 1st PC in 1984. I do understand.

@lonelykatana Yes, it's MALWARE. ALL MALWARE is NOT VIRUSES. See, you have no idea what you're talking about. All the MALWARE that you reference is not self-replicating, can not damage system files (Unless running in ROOT), and requires user intervention to infect.
Mac have ZERO Viruses. Can they be infected by other MALWARE? You betcha. There will never be a way to guard against "stupidity". You Sir are a prime example..
@lonelykatana No, Apple made NO such statement. There are NO Viruses for Macs in the wild. PERIOD!! I challenge you to provide a link to a credible source...
I use PC's 8-10 hours a day at work (and I have since Wordstar, Multiplan, and dBASE II in the CP/M days and my Kaypro) . When it comes to my personal use, I prefer the Mac (switched in 2006).
Pretty obvious you know nothing about OS X's installed base (120,000 huh?) LOL... I'm glad you have a girlfriend now Little Boy!!
@lonelykatana No, Your MBP never got a virus because there are NONE for OS X... And wow, you sent it to "mac" to get removed?? ... :) Did "mac" fix for ya!!!!
Yes, I'd say a person of your intelligence is much better of spending your miserable life "playing games" on your BIG BOY PC!!!!!!!!!!! (do you have a lot of pretty blue light in the case?????? :) )
1.) About 20% of people use Macs, and people who develop viruses don't want to waste there time with something that affects that little people, so they develop viruses for Windows, which most people use.
2.) People who develop viruses feel sorry enough for people who use Macs.
Either way, any computer can still get viruses. (yes, even Mac) If you want to avoid them, don't download 50 terabytes of gay German porn. Problem solved.
@Ultrawins@bibbler227@Hockeyfan3444: Alright dudes. Let's chill. There are no mac viruses as of yet. There is malware, but those malware programs need your permission to start working, and thus are easily avoidable. Chill and stop arguing now please.
The days where we Mac users Can say we don't have viruses has now officially ended... We cannot deny that now, Mackeeper or whatever it was calle that spread like wildfire a few weeks ago was a big one. Think about it, 80% of pc users have upto date virus software and windows updates... 99% of Mac users don't use anti virus... We are the best target now...
@NOYOURNOTHARDC0RE No "My Friend" there are NOT. You haven't got A clue what you are talking about. There are ZERO Viruses for OSX ..... PERIOD!!! This is not to say that someday there may be one out in the wild, .. but as of today, there is ZERO! .. I challenge you "my friend" to name JUST ONE and prove me wrong..
@bibbler227 MacGuard, MacDefender, MacProtector and MacSecurity were/are all a kind software that try to steal your bank account's information. So there are certain trojan-horse like programs out there, but no viruses. The thing is, that before you install them, you actually have to give your permission to get them installed, so only fucktards fall for those kind of traps.
@Skwurlman Great Post. You are 100% correct. Unlike my "friend" NOYOURNOTHARDCORE posting here (and the other little boys shouting "Macs have viruses" , you DO understand the difference between a virus and trojans. Typical YOUTUBE assholes - Little kids ranting on about something they know absolutely nothing about.
@NOYOURNOTHARDC0RE Dude there are no viruses for macs, just malware. And only retards let malware get installed on their computer. Before a program can get installed on a mac, you need to give it permission first.
"Any computer user who believes a system is so safe that they don't have to care about security is prime material for exploitation by social engineering."
- David Harley, security expert from anti-virus vendor ESET
@sonyfucker No, YOU are the fucken retard. You Go Google "Mac Viruses", then come back and name JUST ONE!!! You won't because there is none. You're just a ignorant, big mouthed, uneducated,. punk...
@sonyfucker LOL hahahaha Another stupid kid that doesn't know the difference between a "virus" and a "trojan". It never fails. You're funny kid. Maybe you ought to use "google" to learn what you are talking about. There are still ZERO Viruses for Mac OS X!
Now shut the fuck up and go learn something. Every-time you speak you make an ass out of yourself.
ok how about a rat for you then? "the black hole RAT"
And they can be made but mac users are only 10% of all computer users so why make something thats only gonna fuck up 10% of people? you wouldn't but some still do........
Heres a question for you if there is no viruses why are there 1000'S of anti virus tools and scanners? there can be a virus for everything on the internet xbox ps3 wii pc mac linux etc. they can all get viruses!! l2virus
@sonyfucker No you stupid son of a bitch, a trojan is not "classified" as a "virus". The both can loosely be classified as "malware", but trojans can not self- replicate nor install without direct user intervention (as viruses can)...
You have no idea what you're talking about yet you continue to dig yourself a deeper hole with every post. Go learn something little boy so you can carry on a semi-intelligent conversation.
@sonyfucker Oh in addition little boy, you mentioned "SevenDust", a computer virus that infect the original Mac Os, not OS X (which has nothing in common with OS X). Mac OS had a much smaller market share than OS X has.
Kinda blows you "security through obscurity" myth away doesn't it. Try again kid, your silly rants aren't even original.
@kajirye Apple doesn't sell any computers that do not run OS X. OS X has been the Standard Mac OS since 2001.
But I'm glad he brought this up. Pre OS X Macs had a much smaller market share than current Macs do, yet they had viruses. Kinda blows a hole in the "Security through Obscurity" argument, doesn't it?
@ShadowOfTurtles Lol why cant we also put bitter remarks to a company who falsly advertises. And uses customer loyalty to screw people by charging 3 times what their competition does and then sells the unlocked. (full feature) A week after a majority of mac fanboys have bought them. Or using crappy third partys that cant support needs. And instead of switching or doing themselves they allow it to continue cause its cheap.
@UltraWins Ignorant?? Yes you are. You're the one who stated, "Lol retards, Macs get just as many"... And you're wrong. There are no, zero VIRUSES for OS X... Period..
@addictertors1 there will ALWAYS be more PC's then Macs. so there will NEVER Be a bunch of mac viruses. a virus is made to hit the most people it can. if you spent all your time making a virus that only hits macs. and 3k users download your virus. and only 300 of those users are mac users. YOU JUST WASTED YOUR TIME
It's ok. I can buy 3 pcs for the price of one mac. I would rather get a pc and have some $ in my pocket. F-you apple. greedy bastards!

@Kamilsimac I just bought, installed and set up my 84 year old Grandmother with a Toshiba Laptop. She rang me up one month later telling me that her laptop was away getting repaired as they told her it was riddled with viruses. Could she have been..? Naw, I mean would she have been..? Naw but seriously, you don't think she was... you know? I can't comprehend it, Naw it's not possible. Do you think she was?
If you pay attention like a good PC user, most of the time you can tackle viruses before they get out of hand.
At least it won't cost me an arm and a leg to repair my own computer or replace parts, either. They would never do an ad comparing the cost of both Mac and PC because for $700 you can get the same quality a PC as a $1200 iMac.
Mac didn't get a virus because nobody uses Macs to store their important information. Therefore, there is no point in creating a virus for Macs. If companies, governments, and banks used Macs then there would be viruses for Macs.
The thing is, a Mac can freeze if you run to many programs at once, but it can't get a virus because there's no hole in the software. Typed this off my iPhone 4.
i tried every thing to get a virus on a test mac. So I downloaded 2 of the 5(!) existing viruses and gave them administrator rights. even then the os blocked them and told me the software is not save. after getting them running, the Trojan didn't have internet access... so... what a hell are you blabbering about???!!!

The person who used that PC obviously downloaded a ton of Russian porn and did not bother to even scan his system for malware... this just proves that Macs are for stupid people.
@my1past1is1ur1future - No, that's a lie. Macs do get malware just like PCs... the hackers who make malware just make MORE malware for PCs rather than Macs, since more people use PCs. Dude, save an extra $750 and get a good PC laptop.
hacking a mac is harder then hacking a pc. I can just go in windows and press a button and delete everything. Mac.... MORE STEPS! Sudo priveleges needed EVERYTHING!
viruses aren't written for macs, primarily because black hats enjoy targeting corporations. Microsoft could give two shits about consumer licenses, that's not where they make money. Microsoft makes their money, selling their server licenses, to big companies. with mac, it's the other way around, most corporations don't use macs, or the server osx, consumers do. it's the opposite of microsoft, they make money by selling awesome pcs to consumers, not corporations.

@Ultrawins @bibbler227 @Hockeyfan3444: Alright dudes. Let's chill. There are no mac viruses as of yet. There is malware, but those malware programs need your permission to start working, and thus are easily avoidable. Chill and stop arguing now please.

@bibbler227 MacGuard, MacDefender, MacProtector and MacSecurity were/are all a kind software that try to steal your bank account's information. So there are certain trojan-horse like programs out there, but no viruses. The thing is, that before you install them, you actually have to give your permission to get them installed, so only fucktards fall for those kind of traps.

@Skwurlman Great Post. You are 100% correct. Unlike my "friend" NOYOURNOTHARDCORE posting here (and the other little boys shouting "Macs have viruses" , you DO understand the difference between a virus and trojans.

@sonyfucker No you stupid son of a bitch, a trojan is not "classified" as a "virus". The both can loosely be classified as "malware", but trojans can not self- replicate nor install without direct user intervention (as viruses can)...
You have no idea what you're talking about yet you continue to dig yourself a deeper hole with every post. Go learn something little boy so you can carry on a semi-intelligent conversation.

@sonyfucker Oh in addition little boy, you mentioned "SevenDust", a computer virus that infect the original Mac Os, not OS X (which has nothing in common with OS X). Mac OS had a much smaller market share than OS X has.
Kinda blows you "security through obscurity" myth away doesn't it. Try again kid, your silly rants aren't even original.

Ways to get a virus
1. Download porn
2. Watch porn
3. Play porn games
4. Do anything porn related
Bottom line, if you aren't a perverted freak and don't watch porn then you are safe from viruses on any operating system!

If you pay attention like a good PC user, most of the time you can tackle viruses before they get out of hand.
At least it won't cost me an arm and a leg to repair my own computer or replace parts, either. They would never do an ad comparing the cost of both Mac and PC because for $700 you can get the same quality a PC as a $1200 iMac.

Mac didn't get a virus because nobody uses Macs to store their important information. Therefore, there is no point in creating a virus for Macs. If companies, governments, and banks used Macs then there would be viruses for Macs.

viruses aren't written for macs, primarily because black hats enjoy targeting corporations. Microsoft could give two shits about consumer licenses, that's not where they make money. Microsoft makes their money, selling their server licenses, to big companies. with mac, it's the other way around, most corporations don't use macs, or the server osx, consumers do. it's the opposite of microsoft, they make money by selling awesome pcs to consumers, not corporations.
