"Oh, we're not the biggest target for hacks. Therefore all security is unneccesary."

And stop writing like that, it's so annoying.

Security is always a priority. 'The radiators break in my house sometimes, leaving it cold. I will pay a man to look at those instead of buying a lock for my front door'.

security is always a huge concern in software industry; as many viruses as there are for windows 7, it's still far more secure than OS X

I like Mac computers. I just wish they ran Windows instead.
