"Smartphones Destroying High-End Camera Sales"



+1 Very well said ^^^^^^^


--so many ask me why I worked 10 years on my sailboat... It was just the time in the shop/and dreaming of the first sail, that perhaps for me is better than actually sailing.
 
We already have digital brushes, digital tissue, and digital fluid. I saw them yesterday in a digital lens cleaning kit at the store. I was looking for a cleaning kit for my analog lenses, including my obsolete, analog, non-Google eyeglasses. But since all I could find was digital cleaning supplies, I passed and did not purchase anything.

The Law of Unintended Consequences at work. Marketers of "digital" take note.

It wasn't about what the underlying OS was. It was -and is -about vulnerability to backdoors and exploits.

Very easy to talk of viruses but most of them exploit existing unpatched vulnerabilities. Anyone looking at security bulletins week-in and week-out will see enough of them on many Unix based environments as well.

There's enough misinformation around. Specific products existed and exist because of the way Root id gives permissions to execute anything on *ix platform. Windows security has actually improved and bypassed *ix systems because of its granularity levels.

The vulnerability with Windows that you mostly see is with the applications developed on it. Where application or OS security is given such short shrift, it's hilarious -unless you're facing the brunt of it.
If the same developers developed on *ix platform expect no different.
People are people.

/Last post on this topic, we've veered fairly off-topic. :-D
/Have had it with arguments on windows being less secure and *ix being more. This FUD debate is just the worst thing for information security.
