It is difficult to have a reasonable discussion with someone who's view of reality is so far out of whack. It is even harder when you leap from one distortion to another unrelated distortion while insisting that they are somehow related and mutually supportive.
Apple is the 4th largest manufacturer of computers. They have a 14% market share, but that understimates the installed base because Macs last far longer than PCs. Apple has a 66% market share in the non-junk market segment. If you want to relate this to crime it would make the most sense to look at market share numbers for a smaller population: those who own something worth stealing. Here Apple numbers would skew much higher. Busboys and the unemployed skew towards PCs. Doctors, lawyers, and the glitterati skew towards Macs. To make your proposition relevant you would need to establish why criminals would prefer to attack computers owned by people who have little to steal instead of attacking those who are wealthy. Good luck trying to convince us of that. >I can't really say I agree or disagree, I was just reading facts. In >reality do I think the safari exploit matters in real world environment?
