True, the media should be more responsible. But the pinheads that read the news might want to think about it for just a second or two. But I read it on the web, so it has to be true!! >BBC NEWS... >Apple has urged Mac owners to use anti-virus software. > >And the day after BBC runs a retraction... >http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/technology/2008/12/mac_malware_were_we_wrong.htm >l > >"There was a web firestorm yesterday over an apparent warning from Apple >that its users could be vulnerable to attack and should consider >installing anti-virus software. It was a firestorm that we helped to fan >with a story - and a post on this blog." > >"So I'm sorry if we suggested that this was a major U-turn by Apple when >it was not. Graham Cluley, who we quoted in the post, now describes the >incident as "a fascinating example of how the internet can get carried >away with itself", and it is certainly true that bloggers and journalists > (and I include myself) hate to be left out when this kind of storm brews >up." ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
