Apple and the Flash Issue

Yeh this has achieved a lot of media speculation and yes its a tedious issue for those who read about it day in and day out with Apple being so fastidious about allowing Adobe's Flash player into the iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad.

Fine, here is my to cents worth, Apple should in the long run, create a version of the OS to support Flash and if users want it they pay for it! Simple!.

I personally would like to see this because then there can be a $20 or so OS you can buy from Apple which allows it.. those who don't want it don't upgrade. So simple if you ask me.

Anyways thats my rant for today.

All the best

Hijacked Machine!

Anyone ever heard about the phrase, "Oh its perfect!"??

WRONG!! Nothing is ever perfect, kinda like my machine.

The other day I was browsing the internet and came across a website proclaiming to give away serial keys and so on (I won't name it so don't ask). Little did I know I was about to become infected with mulitple virus's and malware..

Eventually after only 3 minutes browsing the site, My computer became infected with 3 threats, 2 were Malware (back door programs) and one was a simple trojan virus.
After initially seeking help on the subject I then made my own move on it and Re-Installed my OS completely wiping the threats from existance.

Its now give or take about 4 days since I fixed my computer and its still going strong.

Heres hoping it holds out for longer.
all the best
