Secure your Mac

Some people would like you to believe that no matter what you do, your Mac will always be secure because it isn't running Windows. There is a name for these kinds of people: fools.

No operating system is completely secure, and no computer will ever be completely secure unless you never turn it on, never connect it to a network, and keep it locked in a bank vault for the rest of you life. I don't know about you but I like to have fewer than 3 inches of steel between myself and my trusty Powerbook, Ambrose.
