But it rings untrue to most ears to claim that Apple is doing a bad job with regard to security. The evidence suggests that Mac OS X has been and remains secure enough to be safe, and safety is what real people actually care about.
Gruber makes an interesting distinction between safety and security.
Security is about technical measures, like the strength of the locks on your doors and windows. Safety is about the likelihood that you'll actually suffer from some sort of attack.
While it may not always be this way, the experience I have had as a Mac user for more than ten years now is that had to worry about viruses or malware.
Not once.
