First we got a virus that was almost worthless, but showed a proof of concept. You stil HAVE TO enter your password to get it to work, but some prolly have!!??! It comes thru a hole in iChat.
NOW a Second virus that uses BlueTooth.
I would say that either the Anti-Virus Companies are behind this at some level, or are gonna exploit this for bigger sales. I just turned off the Bluetooth because I never liked that slowly responding mouse anyway. I'm going back to the USB IBM Mini-mouse with 3 buttons and scroll wheel.
The big question is....
Is life as we've known it over???

We've pissed someone off by the switch to Intel.

It takes advantage of a component that expires on February 24, which is this Friday. Not a huge threat.
