To this day, none of my Macs have ever been infected, but when I was a Dell user, (as my Texan family says), boy howdy. I basically gave up on my overrun operating system and just got a new computer. - 25 Comments

Do You Click on Popups?

Sep 24, 2008 - Since I use a Mac, I find it hilarious when a Windows-themed popup makes it through my blocker. Like, duh – I'm not clicking "Yes" to that! But a recent study shows that not everyone is so popup savvy. - 24 Comments
