Quotable: Nasty Widgets
It’s like the first time I got my picture in the paper for being a cub scout in a local parade, but much geekier… I am quoted in a Wired News article on the security oversights Apple made with Dashboard Widgets.
“I hope they see the danger, if only for their marketing,” said Tolson. “All it will take is one seriously nasty widget to completely wreck (Apple’s) image of ‘no viruses’ or ‘Macs are inherently more secure’ message. And you better believe that would become news.”
I said it then, and I’ll say it now… “Nasty widgets” is fun to say.
