siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Geek) - requested by ant.
siftbotsays...Moving this video to MarineGunrock's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
deathcowsays...I don't really keep track, how are Mac viruses panning out?
messengersays...The Mac virus I've got? Yeh, I can tell you the name, but it's really obscure, you've probably never heard of it.
blankfistsays...Was that a partial Wilhelm @1:09?
oritteroposays...As Mac desktop market share increases, the payoff for developing Mac specific malware (or porting Windows malware) increases.
Nobody has put a big investment in yet, or if they have they have kept it so low profile that they haven't been rumbled. That said though, if you download pirated Mac software you're just as likely as windows users to be sending your cc details to the Russian Mafia soon after, joining your computer to their cloud computing effort, or perhaps just getting a lot more advertising pop-ups.
This week there's still much more money in Windows malware. It all comes down to accounting and financial forecasts.
