Apple's OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Linux operating systems are to be pitted against each other in an ethical hacking contest in Vancouver next month.
Ubuntu Linux was the only system left unscathed in a multi-platform hacking competition last week, but does that mean it is more secure?

I caved in. I had all intentions of pre-emptively spending my $900 government handout on a $700 HP netbook this weekend. But I was pwned by a shiny little MacBook in about the time it took white hat Charlie Miller to hack its upscale brother, the MacBook Air.
Banks obviously have an interest in making consumers feel safe. They are there to protect the customers' money.
