Slow Tech Monday

Usually there are a few updates to software packages on Mondays - I checked all sites for anything to update or anything cool that I may want to check out and nothing. Totally don't know what to do with myself right now.
I added a few more updates to the "Latest News" for March - some things that I came across today while checking my email and surfing...

I lied, I just saw something while at MacUpdate.com - Logos is going to start making software for the Mac. Very cool - probably keep you updated in the "Makua" section as time goes on...

I got a kick out of this site Certified Ethical Hacker today - so, why would anybody want a certificate to be a certified Hacker? You know the good, and bad, guys are just taken names and watching everything these guys do. The best Hackers and Crackers out there are the guys you will never hear about - no one will...

I was just thinking that if it wasn't for Microsoft I wouldn't have any repeat computer business. Every computer or network that I have setup for Linux, Unix, or Mac is stable to this day - the only reason I get a call from any of these guys is if they are thinking of adding or upgrading something - there's never an emergency with them. So whatever it is MS thinks their doing - go ahead and do it guys, I'll be busy as long as you keep it up...
And for you guys who say: "The only reason Viruses have not been written for the Mac because of Windows lock on the market." Don't you think that one of those guys who argues this point would have written something that would affect a Mac, just to prove us all wrong, by now? Mac has been around longer than Windows...
Look at the numbers - less than 100 viruses have ever been written for the Mac (most of those for OS9, which is a few years out of date now), only one of them effected OSX (but the user had to enter his/her Administrator password to let that happen - so not many machines were infected). The number of viruses written for the Windows OS's is close to a Billion by now - yeah, that's 100 to 1,000,000,000. Windows does not require an Admin password to load a program - it just does it. Now, truthfully, which computer would you really trust your data on?

Like I said - you guys at MS just keep doing what your doing. I'm loving ya for it, and so is every other tech out there who owes their job security to your products...
