The worm in the Apple

I'm not the biggest Microsoft fan in the world but then I don't exactly seem them as evil. I also recognise that the world would be a much worse place if Microsoft were in the hands of say, Larry Ellison rather than Bill Gates.

I've also never bought into the image of Apple and Steve Jobs as the messengers of light in an otherwise corrupt high tech business community. Recent evidence seems to suggest that I have been right in this.

I am not surprised then by the news that Apple products are both being shown to be vulnerable to viruses but also, with the popularity of its music and video products, attractive to those so inclined.
