Personally, I’m sick and tired of all of these security firms coming up with over exaggerated or false security threats about OSX. The truth is, this is just a ploy to make more money, causing people to panic if their computers in danger, so they buy their software. Now that macs are becoming more and more popular, expect to see some of these anti-virus, malware, security software companies claiming how unsafe OSX is without their software.

I know OSX isn’t 100% secure, but neither is any OS. I do think OSX is much more secure and safer than windows by far! It’s amazing how many windows computers I fix a week because of malware, viruses and trojans, but I’ve never seen a mac computer come in for any of these issues.

According to babygotmac.com Leopard 10.5.2 will have DVD/CD Sharing option built in. Along with the other rumored items like network time machine backups, better stacks and translucent menu bar options.

If your like me, macworld is like Christmas all over again. There’s lots of rumors out there, some of them possible and most of them extremely fake.

Lets go over some of the fakes first.

Jay-Z + Apple = Record Label - As much as this sounds cool, it most likely wont happen. There’s much more profit owning a regular record label vs starting a iTunes record label. You have to remember record labels charge crazy fees when you buy a CD vs iTunes. Remember when CD’s came out and they increased the price? The odd thing is CD’s are cheaper to make than tapes and record companies reaped in profits for no reason.

Newton 2.0 - Not going to happen and I doubt ever. Steve Jobs clearly said PDA’s are dead and phones will replace them (meaning the iPhone). Sure the iPhone will get more PDA like features sooner or later, but don’t expect a separate PDA Device, except maybe built into an iPod touch if anything.

New iPods - No way, way to early.

New iPhones - No way, not until a few more months possibly. You have to remember the iPhone just came out in some countries, I think they would be shooting them selfs in the foot if they came out with a newer iPhone so fast.

Apple Bought Macbookair.biz, .us etc.. - No way, a bunch of bs. Apple to my knowledge has never bought any .biz or .us domains. Some sucker bought these for rumors or hoping to get profits over the name.
