Lets be clear: if you have a computer, security is an issue. I could go further and say that if you are alive security is an issue, but lets stay out of any such lofty philosophical attempts.
Instead, let me explain – I say this because one of the most common questions, and one of the most temperature raising debates in geek gatherings, is the good old: Do Macs get viruses? (One could say: ‘Do Macs get virii?’ but while sounding cool they would also be wrong.) Laying aside the literal answer for the moment (no) allow me to point out that what’s really being asked there is: Is my Mac secure?
Hence the first sentence of this piece.
