Ipod worms

Ipods now have every assessory going, but a worm? , well they do now, this case is a clear security flaw.

Basically the case involves worms transfered to ipods by an effected computer, which were sold to customers which later had their pcs effected as they attached their ipods to their pc. What a nice early christmas present.

The second link is apples stand on the case. They make a jibe at windows putting some blame on them, I quote 'As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses'.

APPLE COMMENTS LINK

What is apple jibing about, windows autorun feature maybe? I hate that feature, I find it annoying however it is bad, as it opens the door. Not good. Though I'm told it will be a feature soon just in memory as the latest windows -vista lacks this feature.

This flaw also applies to other storage devices, portable usb drives, printers now have huge storage, what next?.
