I took this picture this morning at around 6:30. I loooove early morning light. I wish I could do all my shooting in this light.
Computer update: Maybe it'll be ready this afternoon . . . not sure. Sorry to any people who have commented on my recent posts. For some reason Old Nellie here kicks me out when I go to the comments section and I'm not able to publish them.
Question: Any Mac users out there ever got a virus? I was thinking about getting a Mac and started feeling all safe and secure again until I found the following article from this past April. Normally, I would've provided you with a link to the article, but you know how I feel about links lately. So I cut and pasted a portion of it instead.
For years, Mac users have been told that not only are they cooler than their PC counterparts, they are safer too. Apple has always held that computer viruses and malware dogged only its competitors.
That is no longer the case.
This week, security researchers discovered that a new computer virus had infected half a million Macs — about half of them in the United States. The virus is infecting the computers in the most surreptitious way possible: users need not manually click on any malicious links or manually download any malware to get infected. The program simply downloads itself. Once downloaded, the malware’s creators gain a back door that gives them unauthorized access to the victim’s computer.
“This is the largest scale attack on Mac OS X to date,” said Roel Schouwenberg, a senior researcher at Kaspersky Lab, an antivirus software company, who has analyzed the malware. “And much more sophisticated.”
For now, the malware’s creators appear to be using infected computers for click fraud, in which they manipulate clicks on a Web advertisement in exchange for kickbacks. But as with all malware, its creators can choose to use infected computers however they like.
The malware infects computers in one of two ways. In some cases, users receive a pop-up prompt purporting to be from Adobe Flash asking them to install an update and type in their password — hence the Trojan’s name, Fakeflash or Flashback. But in most cases, attackers appear to have exploited a loophole in Java software that automatically downloads the malware onto victims’ machines without any prompting.
