Three Holes In The AppleCRN editors unpeel a trio of Apple issues: Ed Moltzen has some reports from VARs trying out the newest Intel-based-iMacs: "Are Intel-based Macs all they've been cracked up to be? Well, maybe not yet...Applications like iTunes run well... but non-native applications like those from Adobe appear to hit some speed bumps." Heather Clancy finds what could potentially be an even more serious problem: "I hate to say it, but have you noticed the dramatic rise in security-related Mac news of late? As I predicted earlier this year, the rise in stature that the Apple system line has enjoyed as a result of its Intel relationship has put it in the sights of the weirdos out there that get off on using their brains for nefarious purposes."
"The tools now exist for anyone to plug an iPod into a corporate PC and steal gigabytes of data in mere moments." Of course, Apple's issues could spell opportunity for a savvy VAR. It wouldn't be the first time. Posted by Joe Caponi at 05:09 PM, February 22, 2006 This is a public forum.
