From the Mac FAQ at http://www.apple.com/getamac/faq/
Is a Mac safe from PC viruses?
Yes, a Mac is 100 percent safe from viruses designed to attack PCs. And although no computer connected to the Internet is completely immune to all viruses and spyware, the Mac is built on a solid UNIX foundation and designed with security in mind. The Mac web browser, Safari, alerts you whenever you’re downloading an application — even if it’s disguised as a picture or movie file. And Apple continually makes free security updates available for Mac owners. You can even have them download automatically.
Honestly that question is a little misleading. Shame on you Apple.

What really great about WWDC is the new hardware refreshes on MacBook Pro. I am so happy. And after procrastinating for 2 years – yes yes yes – I am getting a MacBook Pro. :)
Nice showing of Snow Leopard too. I’m totally sold.

Haha. I thought of you too when they announced the hardware upgrade for MacBook.
Damn, now all MacBooks, except the white ones, are known as MacBook Pro. Can they print the ‘Pro’ word on mine?

Good time to buy now too. Free iPod touch for you with the Back to School promotion.

LOL, I’m getting one but I’m still looking how Mac OS X Snow Leopard Up-to-Date Program would work in Singapore. http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/
It says “Please check back on June 16, 2009, for additional information.”
I will likely hold till June 16 to see what they offer before I make a buy.
I’m comtemplating between 13-inch: 2.26GHz and 13-inch: 2.53GHz.

I guess it’s $9.95 for you to upgrade in Sept if you get it now.
For me it’s $29. Still not too bad.

Wow, okay. I’ll purchase soon.
Any idea how would the upgrade process be like? Is it just install over the current installation?

Staying up for WWDC later.
For some reason I’m not as excited about the new iPhone, as iPhone OS has been great since Day 1. Hardware updates don’t really excite me as much. Front camera? 4G? Better processor? Larger flash drive? Those are just accessories to the already great iPhone OS.
But of course, it’s Apple. They may surprise me with some cool new features for the iPhone OS.
I would also love to know more about Snow Leopard.

Google Chrome for Mac (Developer release) is available download.
http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel
Tried it for awhile. Not quite like it yet. Issues:
- Redrawing issue. Had to scroll up/down to get pages to render properly
- Doesn’t load favicons automatically.
- Can’t use proxy.
- UI’s a bit boring. Probably an attempt to conform to the boring grayish OS X theme. Prefers the UI of the Windows version of Chrome.
Colors and unicorns are always good.

I should write an entry on how I dislike Internet Explorer 8 in Windows 7.

Windows is 100% safe from viruses designed to attack Mac too.
