Mozilla CEO blasts Apple for putting security of the internet at risk

Jobs Horns

Mac & Firefox user

I have just received the update as I am typing this and my opinion is that this can and will cause people to install safari by mistake but how many of those will actually use the application and how many will actually know its installed?

I have a mac and I run firefox as I prefer it to safari so I will not be installing it on windows.

I believe this practice is deceitful and could damage customers trust in apple, this is blatently an attempt to take advantage of users who do not inspect everything they download!

Intel and Symantec team up on 'bare metal' security

Pete

Typical

What if I don't want a company telling me what I can and carn't do on my own machine?

I trust me, does intel, I don't trust intel and definatly not symantec after Norton System Works screwed up my system after "trying" to uninstall it, when I consulted an IT technician at my university they said the best way to uninstall Norton was to "format my hard disk drive"

I am a linux, mac and windows user, I use a very basic firewall on all three, I don't have any problems with viruses as I don't do stupid things such as download everything and anything, open attachments from unknown sources and visit spyware ridden websites.

I believe in Trusted Computing but only when "I decide"!

The simple and easy way to stop this monopolistic behaviour is to say "No Thank You".
