Re: why developers should port their games to the Mac
@dark
Security, for me, is not everything, but it is very important. There's always going to be a traid-off between convenience and security, but using windows XP is like keeping your front door unlocked (depending on where you live). Nothing may happen, but when something does happen, you're very screwed indeed. Myself, I just use windows 10 with it's builtin antivirus. Third-party antivirus sollutions can also be used, but are not always more secure and can sometimes be vulnerable themselves. A high profile case was AVG having a browser extention allowing man in the middle attacks, if I remember correctly. In a man in the middle attack, someone basically inserts themselves between your computer and the destination website eg your bank, but your bank and you think you're talking directly to each other. The attacker can modify both your information sent to the bank and the information coming back, as well as read everything in between. Also third-party antivirus providers tend to insert themselves into parts of your operating system they have no business being, for example your email client. They tend to add something like "This e-mail is virus-free as confirmed by avast antivirus" to your every email.
As regarding macs being status items, I disagree. A computer like the del xps 13 is not necesarily cheaper.
