• What about DDOS Attacks using DNS?
  If i could remember the exact story i'd post the link, but a while back (maybe a few months) i read a story about attackers using DNS servers to perform DDOS attacks by spoofing an IP. Although there was concern at the time, this guy seams to be even more concerned about this, its hard to believe he is seen to be one of the people behind DNS

  For an average home user i'd agree that apple probably make the best OS, its just a shame that you have to buy the expensive problematic hardware to go with it, then on top of that get the Arrogance and Ignorance!

• Unfair to Software Developers
  The problem with comments like this is that it makes software developers look bad, when in actual fact software developers know how to make secure and reliable software.
  problem is you have managers who dont understand software quality and how long it takes to program. Less and less time is given to the coding aspect of a lifecycle and more to testing/fixing which if you do the coding right u need less time for testing/fixing, and more pressure is put on developers to rush using quick fixes instead of doing something properly!
  Then higher up you have the customer who wants more, for less money in less time, its like forcing a surgeon to do a heart transplant in 5 minutes, you expect perfection in 5 minutes?
  
  It's too easy to blame the developer, so thats what happenes!
