And it likely doesn't even install itself on the system. It's probably an application that auto-launches off the USB stick, then stays in RAM until it's quit. It's not possible to install anything on OS X without entering an admin password. This space intentionally left blank. |

b) Incorrect! Apple has incorporated a Sudden Motion Sensor in all of its laptops since 2005. The system can detect a fall and lock down the hard drive (or at least stop reading/writing) to preserve data. | |

Ignorance only hides the truth. And the longer that truth has to hide, the more it stings when it makes itself known. http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/gen...ml#post1166807 Buy my sunglasses! |
