I'd rather see it used against spammers, myself. But hey, gotta be pragmatic (times being what they are, etc).

But in all seriousness, death threats are no joke, even taking into consideration the lack of seriousness/credibility of the rabid fanbois.]]>Jul 23rd 2007 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/os-x-worm-saga-turns-it-up-a-notch-with-death-threats/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/os-x-worm-saga-turns-it-up-a-notch-with-death-threats/

It's been noted more than a few times that this all seems a bit weird. Probably just too weird to be true?

And nice job on the part of engadget going about and confirming what they're reporting on.... oh... wait. No they don't do that, they just report on rumor and innuendo.

As if those in the 'mac' camp don't have enough to worry about, now the apple haters think that we're all a bunch of murderous sociopaths. And why? Because so-and-so said they got a death threat over an osx worm that was never confirmed to be real.

Internet users are mostly jerks. Always have been, always will be. And if you disagree I'll shoot you and bury your body in the dessert so deep they'll never be able to dig up your body from the dessert even if they blow up the dessert with nuclear bombs!!!1!!one!]]>Jul 23rd 2007 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/os-x-worm-saga-turns-it-up-a-notch-with-death-threats/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/os-x-worm-saga-turns-it-up-a-notch-with-death-threats/

I'd much rather this rage be devoted towards worms and spam under Windows. Hackers and IDS folks get all worked up over a yet-unseen worm under OS X, yet are ho-hum about 4 billion Nigerian email scams, Viagra ads, Cialis ads, and the 12 Windows viruses released just today.]]>Jul 24th 2007 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/os-x-worm-saga-turns-it-up-a-notch-with-death-threats/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/os-x-worm-saga-turns-it-up-a-notch-with-death-threats/And it allows me to multi comment!

RE:JM
Why are these people sooo anal that they don't realize that you MEANT dessert? I got it! Everyone wants to do the superior dance so badly that can't spot the difference between typo's and deliberate symbolism! And blowing up my dessert with a nuclear bomb is all the symbolism "I" need!

RE:Dean
No, EVEN when death threats are implied or if a body turns up...
WTF is not ever warranted by ANYONE over the age of 13! (SORRY 13yr olds)

RE:Joseph
THAT’S the problem, where better headlines are more important than FACT!
RE:Phil,
Yes... It has WORKED so far!

RE:BillyBoy
1) WHERE is Mac Camp? I missed it this year!
2) Embrace their fear don't hide from it. Whenever I travel to Cali, people assume I am a killer because I come from NYC, ride a Harley, and look like a casting call applicant for Hells Angels Ride Free or Die...
People want to think Mac users are murderers.... Let them live in their own world!


RE:bombastinator
NO ONE cares what Wiki says...

And finally RE:Ben
I'd much rather this rage be devoted towards the SORRY shape the US is in, the constitution is in, Civil Liberties are in, Free Thought is in, Dissention is in, The War in Iraq, Unfettered Eavesdropping, the collapsing dollar, BUT...
That may be asking TOO much when there is the RUMOUR of a death threat somewhere regarding the rumor of an OSx worm! I UNDERSTAND priorities!

Now....

Can WE hear from Miles now? ]]>Aug 28th 2007 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/os-x-worm-saga-turns-it-up-a-notch-with-death-threats/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/os-x-worm-saga-turns-it-up-a-notch-with-death-threats/
