Apple Axes Antivirus Help Page

Following a flurry of arguably unwarranted media attention, Apple has removed an online help document that advised customers to use multiple antivirus products to keep their computers secure. However, a company spokesman still sees value in antivirus software for the Mac.

“We have removed the KnowledgeBase article because it was old and inaccurate,” an Apple spokesman said in an e-mailed statement. “The Mac is designed with built-in technologies that provide protection against malicious software and security threats right out of the box. However, since no system can be 100% immune from every threat, running antivirus software may offer additional protection.”

Apple Recommends Antivirus Software For Mac OS X

Apple has always claimed that “Mac OS X isn’t plagued by constant attacks from viruses and malware” because its operating system was “designed with security in mind.”But about two weeks ago, Apple posted a note on its support Web site advising its customers to use more than one antivirus application to make their computers more secure.

“Apple encourages the widespread use of multiple antivirus utilities so that virus programmers have more than one application to circumvent, thus making the whole virus writing process more difficult,” the note explained.

Apple suggested three possible options: Intego VirusBarrier X5, McAfee VirusScan for Mac, and Symantec (NSDQ: SYMC) Norton Anti-Virus 11 for Macintosh.

Scientific and technological breakthroughs attributed to LSD

In his presentation, artist Alex Grey noted that Nobel-prize-winner Francis Crick, discoverer of the double helical structure of DNA, also told friends he received inspiration for his ideas from LSD, according to news reports.

The gathering included a discussion of how early computer pioneers used LSD for inspiration. Douglas Englebart, the inventor of the mouse, Myron Stolaroff, a former Ampex engineer and LSD researcher who was attending the symposium, and Apple-cofounder Steve Jobs were among them. In the 2005 book What the Dormouse Said, New York Times reporter John Markoff quotes Jobs describing his LSD experience as “one of the two or three most important things he has done in his life.”
