  1. Having worked with some of the guys who had to equip an entire data centre so that they wouldn't drop a large number of people off the internet I can tell you that it was one of the most rampant pieces of malware ever. I was using "AV" in its Windows meaning which encompasses Trojans. You are correct that such Trojans can affect Linux too, but the vulnerability was fixed in Linux before it gained any traction, Apple continued to deny it was a problem. Luckily all it did was insert different adverts into your web connections. It could have easily been feeding fake banking sites or even just the login frames of such sites. In not making any case that Linux is invulnerable, just that it's quicker to install than Windows forensic software and that Macs are not s secure as the marketing would have you believe. If my Mac was used for more than being a door stop, I'd be looking for AV type software to watch for known vulnerabilities until Apple deign to fix them. Ultimately you are correct though. It's a user problem. It's much less of a problem if they don't use Windows. (Sorry if this is a bit rambling it's the longest post I've made with the app)
  2. DNSchanger was pretty rampant on Macos. Don't believe the marketing.
  3. You could have a rootkit scanner I suppose, but that's a forensic tool, not av.
  4. According to the quote, 20% of people use it that way. One in five. Would it have been hard to ask some of their customers about how they use their console rather than deciding for them?
  5. Do Microsoft actually hate their customers, or do they just think that they're mugs?
  6. Installing linux takes 20 minutes.
  7. Once your fingerprint is compromised, how do you get another one? Biometrics are bad authentication factors. They can all be subverted and once they are, you're screwed.

    If you get on the kickstarter about $200. It can be used with pretty much any phone or you can put a sim in it and used it as a phone. Particularly good for Glass.

    After receiving my pebble and being frustrated that it doesn't do very much, I've no ordered an Omate.

    I don't believe that line up has ever featured in a Premiership game. Possibly they meant Premier League?

    Does that mean VT is safe now?

    I think you probably caught the tail end of whatever fix they applied. Good. Looks like it's back to normal.

    I'm told it's fixed now. Can anyone confirm?

    I've reported this to the hosts. Thanks.

  18. I probably wouldn't want a phone like this, but I could definitely go for a tablet.
  19. Villa v Newcastle is one of the most interesting Premier League fixtures of the weekend (and not just because of Villa). Both sides have won one of their opening three games, and both sides desperately need a win to get their season going. It's going to be tight, hard-fought game, and Villa are a decent bet at 15/2 with Betfair for a 1-0 win. Villa have had arguably the toughest start to the campaign of anyone in the division, but have showed real improvement already from last season. A hard-fought win against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on the opening day of the campaign was much deserved, and Paul Lambert’s men have given Chelsea and Liverpool competitive games since, despite losing. New striker Libor Kozak is in line for a debut, but the likelihood is that the former Lazio forward will start the game from the bench. Christian Benteke will lead the home side’s line and his battle against Fabricio Coloccini should be a captivating one. Newcastle fans were frustrated with their side’s lack of activity in the transfer market over the summer, with Loic Remy the only new face at the North East club. As such, Alan Pardew is starting to feel the pressure and the club’s supporters are looking disgruntled. It has been an underwhelming start to the new campaign by the Tynesiders, with only one goal so far in the Premier League this season. Remy is fit and likely to play in attack; whether he is partnered by Papiss Cisse or Pardew opts to play five across midfield remains to be seen. Yohan Cabaye is available for recall, but again Pardew has a decision to make regarding the France international. The former Lille man came off the bench against Fulham to a mixed reception from the Newcastle faithful, and a mending process needs to happen between player and fans. This is likely to be a close game, with potentially the odd goal winning the game. Benteke’s battle with Coloccini will be an interesting one, while Cabaye’s reintroduction would improve Newcastle as a team. If one team wins they can be relatively happy with the return of seven points from the first four games of the season, while the losing side would be put under increased pressure.
