Another member of the team noted that if they stopped using everything that had an exploit they'd not be able to use any computers of any kind. Not quite the cold dead remark, but true.

The whole Brian > Krebs/David Maynor/WiFi fiasco did that to me. Actually the person discovering this vulnerability is an iPhone fan. One reporter asked him if he was going to stop using his iPhone due to the problem. He replied that the only way to get his iPhone away from him is to pry it out of his cold dead hands. Anyone who has used the iPhone, loves the iPhone. Except for the knee-jerk Apple haters, of course. Interesting to note that Apple shares dropped 7% on Tuesday on a bogus news story that iPhone sales were not up to expectations. On Wed shares were up 10% on news that the story was bogus and news that Apple profits were up 78%. So you are right, we have to be circumspect about every news report. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
