Aaron Adams’s Blowhard Blog

From today’s MDJ concerning the InfoSecSellout idiocy:

InfoSecSellout had not released his worm into the wild, but hadn’t informed Apple about the vulnerability either, instead choosing to post about it on his own blog “to dispel notiions that Mac OS X is somehow more secure than Windows.”

And from David Maynor a year ago, in the MacBook wireless fiasco:

“We’re not picking specifically on Macs here, but if you watch those ‘Get a Mac’ commercials enough, it eventually makes you want to stab one of those users in the eye with a lit cigarette or something,” Maynor said.

Contrast those comments with this comment made by an analyst who discovered a security vulnerability with the iPhone:

The principal security analyst admits “It’s not the end of the world; it’s not the end of the iPhone” and it appears it hasn’t changed their enjoyment of the iPhone itself. Even the security firm’s founder states that while he may more cautious about using a random public WiFi network, “you’d have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands to get [the iPhone] away from me.”

iPhone good. Mac bad.

Any vulnerability found in the Mac is meant to punish Mac users for their smugness. Mac users are irrational cultists who have lost all sense of reason and, in typical mind-numbed robot fashion, worship Steve Jobs. Mac users and Macs deserve to suffer.

But the iPhone… It’s not the end of the world. A confirmed iPhone vulnerability is no big deal, versus two high profile unproven vulnerabilities that were hailed as the Mac apocalypse. Everything is both hunky and dory in the iPhone world, and I’ll keep using my iPhone in my coffin as I’m lowered into the ground.

Two pieces of hardware built by the same company, running variants of the same OS. One is at a perpetual brink of disaster that will prove once and for all that, ha ha ha, Macs suck just as much as Windows (a weird thing to gloat about) and you smug Mac bastards are about to get the punishment you deserve. The other is our special baby, and no matter what the problem, it’s not that bad and everything is just fine.

Sickening. Those who accuse Mac users of being biased and irrational are themselves equally as biased in favor of their own darling device. Don’t pretend to be impartial when you’re as attached to ideas and outcomes as the rest of us.
