End of Macs (Finally) in Sight

This virus isn't much of a threat. But once the code for any virus is out there, ambitious youngsters will take up the cause, making tweaks, mods and hacks to upgrade its virulance. In time, a new life-form will emerge, like a chrysalis emerging from its arborial tomb, ready to strike a deadly blow at the arrogance of Macintosh users everywhere. And precisely because the Macintosh facilitates, nay, encourages, its followers to remain ignorant of the byways of the microchip, this virus, long heralded, will sound a death-knell for those useless design icons that litter biology labs.
A malicious computer worm has been found that targets Apple Computer Inc.'s Mac OS X operating system, believed to be the first such virus aimed specifically at the Mac platform.

hooray!
at last the whole world will have no choice but to use boring, under-engineered and nonresponsive boxes. Only when everybody is equal (finally) can anybody be truly free.
Seek freedom in conformity and liberty in limitation.
Long live WindowsOS!

Perhaps governments will take the code-breakers a bit more seriously and try some creative ways of identifying them and putting them in jail. After all, code-breaking a bank vault isn't considered such a good deed, not is lock-breaking much more glamorized (except for idiotic moviemakers). A computer virus is something that can destroy people's years of work. So cool! So cool that I hope as many hackers as possible rot in the slammer.
