[Ilugc] Misleading article in Ziff-Davis eWeek

The article has *nothing* at all about either the Mac or
Linux, and talks only about social-engineering and phishing,
and how they might work even on the Mac or Linux.
I think you made the point clear there - the article tries to say that even
if you use a Mac or a Linux, don't go around typing your credit card info in
sites you don't know. And don't run programs you don't trust. That advice
holds true for any OS or platform. Typing out your credit card information
in a pron site is as dangerous in Firefox as in IE.
Most
probably, it may have been commissioned by Micros~1.
Errr..logic please?
