Fact of the Day: Macs Can Get Viruses Too

Everyone dreads that nasty computer virus. Many of us spending hundreds of dollars every couple of years to make sure our PCs are protected against them. If you ever used Windows, you probably have encountered problems with them at some point in time. 

However Mac users usually spout "Macs never get viruses" which is a half-truth. A virus only attacks a certain operating system, so most virus makers usually make them for Windows for their near-monopoly of the computer market. However Mac sales are going up, so don't think your trendy new computer is going to be overlooked for long. 

Apple Becomes #1 U.S. Company in Terms of Monetary Vaule

It's kinda hard to believe how far Apple has risen over the years. A decade and a half ago, they were almost a joke to the computer world. Loved by many, but mocked by so much more. Then they came out with the iPod, and then the madness started from there. Now they are worth more as a company than Big Oil's Exxon Mobil. 

I only have one Apple product, and that's my iPod Touch. I only really have it because it's my mini-computer and I'm too poor for a smartphone. I actually went into an apple store the other day, and was amazed by how many people were shopping there. They don't really sell anything different from Best Buy, just a lot of Apple employees ready to make some money. 

Things I Like: World of Goo

World of Goo was a pretty big deal on WiiWare and PC a few years ago. I pretty much got sucked into the  hype and bought it pretty quick. I heard they've also made versions for Mac, Linux, iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad. 

The concept for World of Goo is pretty simple. Build your tower of goo power to complete your objective. 

My favorite was the frog stage, but I must say they do get way too hard later on. But it's still a fun game for anyone to enjoy.
