Apple announced its numbers for the last fiscal quarter (which included Christmas): They sold over 1.6 million Mac computers (up 28%) and over 21 million iPods (up 50%). The company, which recently dropped the term "computer" from its name, posted revenue for the quarter of $7.1 billion and profits of over $1 billion.
Meanwhile the recently announced iPhone will be available this summer. The iPhone will be the latest "must have" gadget from Apple, combining the PDA, cell phone, and MP3 music player in one brilliant device, purportedly "five years ahead" of today's smart-phone technology.
Finally, check out the latest commercials from Apple: "Surgery," where PC nervously prepares to install Vista; "Sabatage," where PC replaces Mac with an imposter to stroke PC's ego; and "Tech Support," where PC has a camera installed, not realizing Mac already has one built in.

You might want to read this article . It might open your eyes to some of the issues with Mac. I am not saying that any other operation system does not have issues of their own, but Mac should not be put on this imaginary pedestal. Just because a lot of people are buying a product does not mean that it is perfect (this is evident when you look at Windows). It is dangerous to think that you are impervious to attacks when you really aren't. Maybe the Mac fans should push Steve Jobs to actually care about his customer’s security.

"...Steve Jobs to actually care about his customer’s security."
He's too busy back-dating his stock options. :) We'll see what the SEC does to Apple in the coming months.
