I was thinking, "What the heck is maleware? Is this NSFW?"

Yes I saw that but I didn't write the page

I know that. I just thought it was funny that the news company rags on McDonald's for handing out tainted merchandise and also saves the entry (inadvertantly I'm sure) as something someone could take as being much worse than it is. I mean look at it. It's only three words that don't even describe the article at all. "McDonald's Hands Maleware." Even if Malware was spelled correctly it doesn't give you much of an idea of the article. Maybe if it was "McDonald's Hands Out Malware."

But who am I to critique a news website?

Headlines are almost always cryptic and stupid IMO.

It gets worse for malware shipped on music players though:
Apple Ships iPods with Windows Virus

The most interesting thing is this quote:

The company also took the opportunity to blast Microsoft's Windows operating system for not doing more to protect customers from such malware. "As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it," Apple said.

Now who would put it past Apple to have seeded the virus themselves just to stir up a little bad publicity for MS?

Erm, isn't that virtually the same story I posted above you?

[Carol Haynes]

Oops sorry ... but given that it is iJobs it is probably worth saying twice

[JavaJones]

Hehe, I'll go with that.
