  1. Well someone put a Trojan in an “cracked” download IRC page and it’s ‘”News”. Oh the poor reporting from even “Mac News” sites these days.

  2. You know that if The Loop hadn’t reported this, there would be 53,783,336 outraged complaints about how Jim is suckling on Apple’s left nipple.

  3. Funny how different Dalrymple’s comment are, depending on whether the malware affects Apple’s products, or Google’s.

    SEE APPLE THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING OPEN!
