Congratulations, you just described the majority of Mac users' common sense computing knowledge. There's a classic saying called PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard & Chair) and mst Mac users cannot be bothered to learn anything technology-related (unless it's an Apple product; then they're...

Oh please, Apple was way more juvenile when they did their "Mac vs. PC" ads a few years ago. Now that I think about it, Apple was bordering on a misdemeanor or even a felony with their "It's Magical", "It Just Works", and "Macs don't get Viruses" nonsense.

@ deftonian Oh please, Apple was guilty of being juvenile with their "Mac vs. PC" ads a few years back. Now that I think about it, Apple was way more juvenile (almost bordering on a misdemeanor or felony) with the continued pitch of their products being "magical", "it just works", and "We...

I'm confused then Mr. Cook; if security was not the reason for the iCloud breach, then why beef up security? (/end sarcasm) Reminds me of the iPhone antenna gate issue when Apple basically said there's no problem (you're holding it wrong) and then proceeded to issue out free iPhone bumpers.

While this is interesting, it still shows the limitations of distance learning for certain subjects. Case in point, Chemistry requires a physical, hands-on laboratory experience along with Physics, Biology, and Earth Science. Also Foreign Language proficiency requires demonstrating speaking...

@ ninjawithagun That's just it; Both Apple and Tim Cook have publicly downplayed the importance of a bigger LCD screen and have said 3.7-inches is "just right" along with "anything bigger is just ridiculous". So not only are they doing a complete 180 on their part but they look silly trying...

It still puzzles me how Apple fans, who swear they fancy Apple products due to simplicity, ease of use and don't care for being "a techy", suddenly jump on the tech enthusiast bandwagon when it comes to tweaking their products.

@ COLGeek - Yes definitely "Yay" for mac users as they need all the protection they can get considering the average Mac user can't be bothered to learn a thing or two about common sense computing and how not to get a virus or malware (which is probably one of the reasons they switched to a...

@ macpeteo So you can dish it out but you can't take it? Don't get mad at ssdpro for showing you the same smug arrogance you mactards have when y'all bash Windows.

@ Rhinofart That's just it, if this was a Windows malware issue, everyone would quickly bash Windows' security and it being inherently flawed. But because this is Mac OS X malware, now all of a sudden people are mindful of OS X's small marketshare relative to Windows. Also many Apple fans...

This is an interesting concept as I've taken my share of CS courses in high school and college. With CS, it's really hit or miss. Either you start learning programming at an early age by picking up your dad's C++ and DOS books and learning from scratch on your own or you're blindsided by CS's...

Aw crap she's not single....

@ john_4 - So then if you pay for everything with cash or check, then that means you must have bought your car and house with cash (assuming you have both or either)? Because in order to qualify for a car loan or mortgage, you need excellent credit. And achieving excellent credit requires...

@ freggo ...because Safari has more (security) holes than a slice of swiss cheese....
