Might as well write an article "C++'s done, time to stick a fork in it." This idiot hasn't got a clue of just how widespread Java is in enterprise programming. Perhaps it's time to stop allowing java applets to run unchallenged in web browsers, but fer crying out loud, this is like blaming Ford for drunk driving deaths... Also: " If the Flashback.G infector finds that you have installed both of the old Java patches, it simply asks if it's OK to install the payload. The Mac installation dialog box says the content is signed by "Apple Inc" but "the digital signature of this certificate could not be verified." By and large, Windows users are savvy enough to walk away from a warning like that. But many Apple users aren't quite so experienced, or damaged, or inured. Many of them took the bait." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA<breaaaaaathe>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA If I had a nickel for every damn time I watched a Windows user just blindly click on "OK" like that I'd be a wealthy man, with a Scrooge McDuck-style vault/swimming pool full of nickels. Also, Apple's solution is coming in Mountain Lion, and you all are going to howl like stuck pigs about it, because it's "Application Signing", the App store on steroids, where only approved apps will run on OS X. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
