Apple Warms Up to Hackers, Plans Presentation at Black Hat
For years users of Apple computer products felt themselves protected against hackers and computer viruses. Seriously looking down their noses at PC users flaunting the bullet proof boxes as exhibit number one.
Yet, programmers then, and now, use the PC platform to be productive with. Windows based machines still dominate internet servers, programming platforms, database farms, individual productivity machines and more.
Why?
Because with Windows based machines we know what we have. We are aware of the obstacles that we have before us that we need to either over come outright or at the very least be aware of as we move along.
Now the age of hand held and tablet sized devices are ruling the end-user world. Heck, I have an iPhone, iPad and all those modern things too. But when it comes to being productive, writing applications for corporate America I still choose the Windows platform with keyboards I can bang away on and mice to point and double click with. We still need those things to be productive.
We opt for modern hybrid cars, but tolerate (understandably) eighteen wheelers to get the products we make and buy to market.
Anyway, back to Apple finally feeling the wrath of the rest of the world. Every PC professional on the planet knew this day was going to arrive. Apple, now that they are bigger than Microsoft and have more devices world-wide will become more and more of a target of those who need to prove their ability to bring others to their knees.
Yup, the tables are turning – targets are changing – and Apple users are now looking at us for assistance rather than distain.
