He wants something good, not crap that gets infected by mp3 viruses.
(*note: Windows can get infected with MP3 viruses as well but thats the only recent exploit I could think of on the mac.) |

You mean a proof-of-concept trojan that has to be downloaded by the user and double-clicked as an application anyway (instead of dragged into iTunes like every other MP3), has never been even in the wild and can't even infect low level parts of the system without an administrator physically typing in his password when prompted by a strange application's request?
Let's go over the standard Windows infection actions time table:
12:50 - Windows PC plugged into cable modem.
12:55 - Windows PC infected.

Sadly thats true. I recently helped my brother-in-law's aunt with getting a new computer and not even 5 minutes after dialing up to the internet, she was hit by the sasser virus. |

Why does the big, bad wolf have testicles each the size of watermelons?

Because in the original Little Red Riding Hood the Big Bad Wolf was a Horny, Perverted Human.

Well, the Happiest-Fattest-Girl avatar was great. I randomly send it to friends to disturb them or make them question reality. Fun stuff. And the .hack one you had was great too. But this one is just freakin me out.
