A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

When did Apple brag about that? All I can think of is a brief ad campaign where the "PC Guy" had a cold. That's hardly a claim that Macs have perfect security.

Apple has, in fact, gone on the record as saying they don't think the Mac is secure enough, and that's why iOS is locked down as tight as it is.
