It's the thing you'd fall victim of without warning and Apple would deny ever happened ;)
Unwanted apps get past Apple all the time.

But as you know Xac Apple products do not suffer anywhere near the amount of virus and scam attacks that Windows based products suffer from :wink:

I'm with Dean here; the only benefit I find for a camera phone is to snap the adjacent cars in a damage-prone parking area or the odd occasion when someone nudges my vehicle on the road. Current one is nearly four years old - android and apps be damned!

if all the computers in the world shut down together the planet would come to a stand still,

i used to fix an old bedford camper van for a girl who was a freind of the earth,
she told me all the freinds of the earth across the world are trainning them selfs to life of the land,
then they are going to cause the worlds computer systems to crash/shut down,
this will cause panick folowed by anicy,riots,
which will end in the way we now life comming to and end

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :twisted: :roll: [-X :wink:

The chaos that would be caused if they could do the impossible would result in hundreds of thousands dying and the planet being harmed because rather than being able to afford to build new environmentally friendly energy sources we'd have to resort to cheaper nastier types.

We could just burn hippies instead, at least that'd be more carbon neutral

A malicious piece of software designed for iPhones and iPads has been created to show that Apple's app store is not immune to malware.

The code was designed to look like a stock price tracker, but was also able to steal data.
As I said there have been several vulnerabilities with the iPhone that Apple have tried to keep quiet.
