Excuses on iPod virus not credible | |

Security and quality assurance experts reacted negatively to Apple Computer's efforts Tuesday to blame manufacturing problems that resulted in iPod MP3 players shipping with a virus that affects Microsoft's Windows operating system. Security professionals, including Microsoft's own product release virus scanning chief, called Apple's efforts to deflect blame onto Microsoft misleading and said the batch of factory-infected iPods reveals a troubling lack of thoroughness in the company's manufacturing process. On Monday, Apple released a statement on its Web site noting that a "small number of video iPods shipped with a Windows virus," which the company identified as RavMonE.exe. The number of affected iPods is small -- less than 1 percent of all Video iPods available for purchase after Sept. 12, 2006, the company said in its statement, adding "as you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it." | ||

WOW! It takes either a very special set of reproductive parts, or one very twisted mind to have screwed up a process this badly, and find the means to blame Microsoft's Windows. "Well officer, if he hadn't been stupid enough to be standing there minding his own business when I fired the gun through him - you see, I was aiming at the refrigerator... none of this would have happened... he's such an idiot, don't you agree?" Come along Ma'am, this one will be up to the Judge and DA to decide. |
