I think that shows Tor is human, you have a standpoint until you take a new one. Frankly it annoys me more to hear Joe (49:30) stuck in the same elevate-everything-Apple-beyond-unicorn-magic (perfectly secure, no bugs, no need to use anti-virus etc.) Apple's slogan now is "OS X doesn’t get PC viruses", which is as dumb as Microsoft claiming "Windows doesn't get Mac viruses". At Pwn2Own, Safari was the easiest to hack, easier than even Internet Explorer while [http:// www.gsmdome.com/apple/apple-embarrassed-safari-browser-hacked-in-5-seconds_22408]. So Joe, you really should load up bootcamp and use the more secure Internet Explorer from now on! :p
