buying a mac for regular home use is already a self "pwning"

i am laughing hysterically at this.

Meh, the mass market will NEVER know of this, or of many other vulnerabilities within the mac OS releases of the last few years. Thus the POS will still remain fashionable, overpriced, and will continue to function at a mediocre level.

I hate Macs, but I frickin' love the commercial for the MacBook Air

Windows got hacked after the mac, the Linux one won. I think they used some kind of Flash exploit to "pwn" the Windows pc

quote:

Description: Juan Pablo Lopez Yacubian has discovered two vulnerabilities in Safari, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks or potentially compromise a user's system. 1) An error when downloading e.g. a .ZIP file with an overly long filename can be exploited to cause a memory corruption. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 2) An error in the handling of windows can be exploited to display arbitrary content while showing the URL of a trusted web site in the address bar. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.1 for Windows. Other versions may also be affected. Solution: Do not browse untrusted web sites. Provided and/or discovered by: Juan Pablo Lopez Yacubian

The hack came during the Pwn2Own contest, which is being held at the CanSecWest conference in Vancouver. The competition took place in a conference room overlooking the city's Burrard Inlet, a harbor where pontoon planes took off and disappeared into black rain clouds shrouding nearby Grouse Mountain. A small round of applause broke out immediately after contest officials confirmed Miller's exploit was legit. At time of writing, the Windows and Linux machines were still standing. Under contest rules, Miller was forbidden from providing specifics of his hack. He said he chose Apple over the other machines because "I thought of the three it was the easiest". He said he didn't test the exploit on any other platform. As a Mac user, he added, he felt an incentive to exploit the system because he believes it will help make the platform stronger. Miller, who works for Independent Security Evaluators, received help from co-workers Jake Honoroff and Mark Daniel.
