    No No jimbo it can't be. Are you posting a joke? Is it April 1?
    What is the world coming to?

    A Apple product infected by the Chinese.

    I can see Oberlin College setting up Apple rescue centers for the computer and withdrawal centers for the owners. It will probable be declared a disaster zone and send FEMA to help.

    This is going to be very painful for the special people.

    Oberlin College is a private institution that was founded in 1833. It has a total undergraduate enrollment of 2,894, its setting is suburban, and the campus size is 440 acres. It utilizes a 4-1-4-based academic calendar. Oberlin College's ranking in the 2015 edition of Best Colleges is National Liberal Arts Colleges, 23. Its tuition and fees are $48,682 (2014-15).

    A big reason for the problem Windows has with malware is it's popularity. A malware author will wish to achieve the greatest results for the effort expended. Windows is a big target.

    But with the rising popularity of Apple products many malware authors are beginning to see them as a worthwhile target. And considering that Apple has only limited experience with security exploits and that most such systems have little or no protection Apple malware could infect a lot of computers.

    I agree. I have a paid anti-virus on my iMac but I have always felt it to be unnecessary. But that might soon change I'm afraid.

    Considering how many counterfeit devises are in China you have to wonder if it's an inside job of Apple
