You can now purchase accessories within an Apple Store using your iPhone and not having to interact with a "Genius" or sales person - kinda neat, bills it to the card on your iTunes account:

So don't publish in the Mac App Store...

What kind of case do you have for your cell?
Some transparent rubber case
I ordered a Speck case. Hopefully it looks alright.
I took mine off yesterday
Easier to hold, I have tiny girly hands
And it looks sexier too

Half a million Mac computers 'infected with malware'
More than half a million Apple computers have been infected with the Flashback Trojan, according to a Russian anti-virus firm.
An investigation by Dr Web suggests that about 600,000 Macs have installed the malware - potentially allowing them to be hijacked and used as a "botnet".
It says that more than half that number are based in the US.
Apple has released a security update, but users who have not installed the patch remain exposed.
Flashback was first detected last September when anti-virus researchers flagged up software masquerading itself as a Flash Player update. Once downloaded it deactivated some of the computer's security software.
Later versions of the malware exploited weaknesses in the Java programming language to allow the code to be installed from bogus sites without the user's permission.
Remote control
Dr Web said that once the Trojan was installed it sent a message to the intruder's control server with a unique ID to identify the infected machine.
"By introducing the code criminals are potentially able to control the machine," the firm's chief executive Boris Sharov told the BBC.
"We stress the word potential as we have never seen any malicious activity since we hijacked the botnet to take it out of criminals' hands. However, we know people create viruses to get money.
"The largest amounts of bots - based on the IP addresses we identified - are in the US, Canada, UK and Australia, so it appears to have targeted English-speaking people."
Dr Web also notes that 274 of the infected computers it detected appeared to be located in Cupertino, California - home to Apple's headquarters.
Update wait
Java's developer, Oracle, issued a fix to the vulnerability on 14 February, but this did not work on Macintoshes as Apple manages Java updates to its computers.
Apple released its own "security update" on Wednesday - more than eight weeks later. It can be triggered by clicking on the software update icon in the computer's system preferences panel.
The security firm F-Secure has also posted detailed instructions about how to confirm if a machine is infected and how to remove the Trojan.
Although Apple's system software limits the actions its computers can take without requesting their users' permission, some security analysts suggest this latest incident highlights the fact that the machines are not invulnerable.
"People used to say that Apple computers, unlike Windows PCs, can't ever be infected - but it's a myth," said Timur Tsoriev, an analyst at Kaspersky Lab.
Apple could not provide a statement at this time.
Lol Macs
Overpriced toys
Anyone who though they couldn't get something on a Mac is an idiot.
"we don't get no viruses"
ing Apple marketing lies
it's funny seeing all the mac elitists get ed over.
It's that talking (along with increased sales) that probably helped 'em become a target, tbh.
Mac fan : Still not getting an anti-virus
My old iBook that I just download music on now is still alive and kicking without anti-virus. Of course, no one is going after Macs with PowerPC chips, because, I mean, what idiot would still have one of those.
On the other hand, I just threw down $100 for 2 years of Kaspersky Pure for my desktop. Actually, not a bad price.
lol installing system hog Norton to delete 2 files...
lol Windows
taking 3 months to release a security fix

On another note, I tried the iPad 3 yesterday for the first time. Decent device if it's your first iPad and you don't mind paying the premium. I could never imagine upgrading from an iPad 2 to this thqh. Screen was pretty but meh.
When Apple starts producing servers or some other similar networking device that hackers can actually make gains from then let me know.
Its not like their netcode or opcode is some revelation in security. Its just that there is no real money or access that you can get off of them.
Apple products are cheap in every way but price.
