#1 I refuse to consider M$S Windows a computer operating system. It is just a bunch of execution threads kludged together by the hives (registry) with a thread switching mechanism.
This makes it so much easier than Apple, Linux or Plan 9 etc... to hack.
I am leery of Android as all its apps are written in Java and Java gives sinful a good name.

#2 There was an encrypted cloud based virtual OS invented in the City of London for traders in the mid-90s. Stories about it went dark about 1997 so I assume it went live. You booted with a cd or flash drive on any computer (apple, pc, sparc) and the first thing it did is wipe the ram then booted. Then you typed in a long security code and it rebooted as an encrypted image scatter spread across the net. The only decrypted parts were right in front of your eyes on the screen. Each file was diced and sliced and spread across the planet. When you logged off it erased the screen, erased memory, and erased itself.

#3 I wouldn't have believed something like this could happen in the United States of America."

Unbelievable yes, but simply add the Attkisson hacking incident to F&F, the Ben Ladin raid, the IRS, Benghazi, Secret Service scandals, Obamacare, the failed U.S. SOFA agreement in Iraq, ISIS, the facilitation of Iranian nuclear development, the recent release of 5 top Taliban from GITMO, Chicken Shi*, amnesty, and everything else that has happened since November of 2008.

#5 Comrades. Please check the Attkisson cell phone video closely. The hacked machine is a Mac.

#6 The hacked machine is a Mac.

A MacBook Pro, as seen in this, linked in the original article. Good catch, whoosperie-119!

#7 The only thing Mac ever had going for it was that it wasn't Windows. They weren't as big a target as Windows so they didn't get hacked as much. It doesn't mean they were any better.
