Apple's inferior products

[chosen_one6]

Less than Apple that's for sure.

Apple OS is based on Linux...

EDIT: No it's not

Oh.. the old 2002 argument.

Nobody uses the 'security by obscurity' argument anymore dude, drop it.

Uh...so what I am saying is wrong then? N[COLOR="Black"]igga please...


Stop being such an apple stan. What I say is true. Viruses are code in different languages, in different OS and it can only target the OS it was program into.[/COLOR] Sorry if that damages your view of how Apple products are so much better than Windows.

Fact: Viruses work on Windows don't work on Apple.

Fact: There are more viruses for Windows because it sold more than Apple over the decades

Apple OS is based on Linux...

Apple is based on Unix, not Linux.

The security by obscurity argument has been used for years, and has been proven wrong repeatedly.

Apple is inherently safer because it's based on UNIX and is programmed better as a whole.

Thanks Apple for getting your dumb iCloud hacked

Has it been proven that apple was actually hacked? In a lot of those pictures, the people are using android phones. Why would pictures taken on a google phone be on iCloud? Did google get hacked too?

Right and all viruses are made universally compatible like in real life...right ;)




Mac OS is programmed way better than Windows I won't deny that fact. But just because of that doesn't mean the viruses program in a certain OS will work on another one. Apple didn't sell a lot to businesses and the like, so people wouldn't program viruses for the Mac because it just wasn't profitable for them, so they programmed it for the one that was more used, Windows.

THe goverment uses Windows computers not MAc. Just go to any business and ask what they use...

Windows products, not Macs.

Dude, it's not even about me being a fanboy (really). You keep using arguments that were made 10 years ago that have been debunked repeatedly over the years.

Even the most hardcore Windows fanboys don't even make those arguments anymore.

Dude if you think viruses made for windows work for Mac you're an idiot as Kobe/Lebron stans are.

I didn't say that.

Of course they won't work.

But your assumption that there isn't an attempt to make OS X viruses is flawed. They have tried, but it's usually fruitless. It isn't because the numbers aren't there, but because it's simply harder due to OS X's UNIX.

I've seen and heard every argument made, and it simply boils down to OS X being more secure that hackers don't want to spend their time. Don't you think there's some hackers out there trying to make a name for themselves?

Every year they have a security competition and Macs are always the primary target. And guess what computer the winner usually select as part of their prize? Macs.

If Apple did indeed get shitted on with the same amount of viruses that Windows gets it will be headline news all over the world. And the hacker would be rich. As it stands if Apple does have a trojan or a small virus or hack, it makes the news and the hacker feels like a king.

So best believe the top hackers are trying their best, and the average hacker tries but moves on, because OS X is inherently safer.

To top it off... Apple patches up their security holes ASAP. They don't wait and ***** foot around. And everybody gets the update (dependent on the OS version of course).

Apple is known for fixing up any holes immediately, as soon as 'hours' after they're discovered, but usually within the first 24-48 hours. While it may take Windows weeks- months, and even then not all users will get the update nor know about an update.

You do know that someone made a virus that hacked the mac in a couple of seconds right? And apple took the video down and made a patch to prevent that after the guy gave him the video. He practically challenged the company and won.

And do you know how many viruses are made for windows each month, each week? It is the most used OS in the world it happens that it is the prime target for hackers.

Of course, and that also proves how fast Apple is to patch shit up.

But it also depends on 'how' the hacker got access.

When this happened the Mac community got their pitchforks out en mass. But the way the hacker got access to hack was under non-real world scenario. It wasn't like the run of the mill Windows hack or virus.
