nina s. custodio Macs hit with BitTorrent-embedded malware attack

Sun Jan 25, 2009 5:47PM EST For years, Mac users have long been rightfully smug about their platform's relative immunity to virus and malware attacks, but it's inevitable that those days will eventually come to an end. (As the Mac gains in popularity, it also earns more attention from malware developers, and it's this lack of malware being actively developed, not some special, inherent security, that have really kept the Mac a "safe" platform for the time being.) Now we're seeing one of the f… Continue

Jim Haw State of the Apple '09

The Davao Apple Community isn't being updated as often as I want it to be. Blame laziness here.

One of the 'projects' I'm planning for the first quarter of '09 is to have a Community meet-up. We'll try to set a date where most, if not all, of the members a… Continue
