What’s really funny about this is that Mac people have been saying for years how their computer is more or less immune to viruses. That’s because Macs haven’t accounted for more than 5-10% of the computer share since the internet age. They keep getting more popular and now the viruses start flowing in. Go apple hackers go! *cough* I mean it’s horrible what’s happening to these poor defenseless Macs.

Usually something like this would be fixed within a week if MS.. if not days.

Apple has ignored this for MONTHS.
Hell, there are exploits that they havent fixed in a year’s time.

Its good that Apple is taking this step. But is not so good that they have not addressed this sooner.
Apple needs to look at being more proactive then reactive in these matters. They are doing just what Microsoft did at first. Ignore the problem first, then take limited measure against specific threats, then finally acknowledge that more needed to be done. Let’s hope Apple does not take a decade to realize it needs to do more.
