So, not a virus, having little to do with those WinXP-era ads saying that Macs didn't get “Windows viruses.” (What share of Macs in use are in the US? 75% or so? Seems upside-down.) That would have infected many more people, and likely with an extremely different geo profile.
Not at all consistent with a drive-by (viral) infection from a hijacked host site (how my work Windows machine got infected a year ago). Perfectly consistent with there being 17K idiots in the world, or people desperate enough for free software that they throw ordinary cautions to the wind, of the many millions in use today. Running despite no indication that OSX's normal security precautions were side-stepped. Suggestions that the malware masqueraded as Photoshop or other Liberated Warez. I liked this post by Walt FrenchArs Praefectus on Ars siteġ7,000 infected machines, 3/4 of them outside of the US. If I'm not mistaken, "acorned" is already taken for chasing the object of your desire regardless of bodily harm it may cause, obviously inspired by Ice Age. or after you buy our training program.Īlso none of the other programs have become a common verb or adjective yet when describing post processing of photos, which has been an art form for 100 years.
None of those programs have a cottage industry of proffesional gurus the likes of Photoshop (or Lightroom) have on YouTube, that claim even YOU can be a proffessional retoucher or get professional results within hours. What's surprising is that with all of the low-cost alternatives available today ( Pixelmator, Acorn, Photoshop Elements) you'd still pirate particularly since the vast majority of those pirating PS surely don't use the features that differentiate it from the low-cost alternatives. Photoshop is still expensive ($600+) as a one time purchase when you could do that, and now pricey for some at $10/mo. Are you kidding me? There are surely many,many times more than 17k users of popular pirated software.
