Mac OS X is ‘safer, but less secure’
Last Updated on Monday, 22 March 2010 04:12 Written by Naota Monday, 22 March 2010 04:12
According to various tests conducted, Mac OS X isn’t as safe as people have been claiming. You can read about it in the article listed here.
It can be summed up here is my favorite quote from the article:
Mac OS X is like living in a farmhouse in the country with no locks, and Windows is living in a house with bars on the windows in the bad part of town.
I am not really a Mac user so I cannot offer my opinion on this. It is an interesting read regardless.

Microsoft Releases Windows 7 Mobile Operating System Titled: Windows Phone 7
Last Updated on Monday, 15 February 2010 03:29 Written by Naota Monday, 15 February 2010 01:35
It’s no secret that Windows Mobile has been falling behind. This is greatly evident in the considerable amount of market-share that they have conceded to their competitors. According to comScore, Microsoft holds now just 18% of the Mobile OS market. To put this in perspective, Apple holds ~ 25% of the market, and Rimm has a market share of ~ 42%.
Perhaps what is most alarming to Microsoft is how much market-share it’s new OS competitor, Google, has been able to take. Google’s new Android operating system already holds a 5% market share, doubling from 2.5% the previous quarter.
Microsoft has killed Windows 7 Mobile and has released Windows Phone 7. Microsoft released its plan to provide over 30 new smartphones that will utilize its new Windows 7 Phone OS. These smartphones will be available in over 20 countries by the end of the year. United States providers include Sprint/Nextel, AT&T, and Verizon.
Windows Phone 7 sports a radical design change. Its new design is a copy of the Zune HD interface and is suppose to include the needs of both business and pleasure. It will incorporate the growing use of Social Networking by offering many new internal features.
Additionally Microsoft promises to be stricter on what phones/hardware they will allow to use their new mobile operating system, thus dramatically decreasing quality-related problems.
I hope they do well with this redesign… they sure as heck need it. We will try to review this operating system for you sometime! For now you can view the rumored features of Windows Phone 7.
