Indeed, a lot of wifi drivers are hackable not only Macintosh ones.
Wow, this Mac gaming thread is turning into something different altogether ;)

Geez, here's more bad news for Apple: Wi-Fi Driver Hack Demonstarted for Apple MacBook PC. Looks like a pretty serious vulnerability to me. Then again, it's not as if Windows is a bastion of security.

It still doesn't make me comfortable spending serious money on these machines. If you spend a little bit of time reading up on Apple official forums, you'll realize that quite a lot of people are experiencing the same issues. I'm not ready to dismiss them all so easily.

More horror stories:

Incidentally I hear nothing but good things about the Mac minis. They seem to be relatively trouble-free.

Lots of my friends have macbooks, and I haven't heard about any problems from them concerning shut-offs (however, I'll be sure to ask them now). They do fret a lot about Microsoft products, particularly the hassles of using our u's microsoft email server to check their email. Apparently, there's a whole sludge of problems with the programs they're using (Eudora, I think?), and emails are getting lost, distorted, and so on. However, I doubt that's Apple's fault--I'm sure the blame is squarely on Microsoft.

With the new iMac, I have noticed that the computer shuts down after three hours. This is a pain because I like to use it to play music while I'm working on other things. However, I'll be damned if I can find out how to get it keep from shutting down. According to my power settings, it should never turn off. But it does. Hmm...

For me, though, the most serious problem is not being able to play any Mac games on my Macintel. I don't have any games for it yet, and apparently most of games intended for the older Macs won't run at all on the new machine. What a freaking disappointment.

I've also heard that the game I was most interested in purchasing (Civilization IV for Mac) is riddled with bugs and crashes just as often and runs more clunkily than it did on the PC, which is saying something. Here I was hoping that it'd run smoothly! Now, I don't care to spend $40 acquiring a glitchy software product.

There seems to be a lot of horror stories out there. It might be wise to wait until a later revision and see if they get manage to fix the problems.

Users report MacBooks and MacBook Pros randomly shutting down...

Complaints from angry MacBook and MacBook Pro users about their computers "randomly" shutting down seem to have suddenly started flowing in by the somewhat freakish masses over the last several weeks on websites and discussion boards across the Internet, although the causes seem like they could be attributed to many different factors.

Unfortunately, there seem to be thousands of anecdotal accounts across the Internet at large about this issue, but the overall problem that everyone is experiencing is that their MacBooks and MacBook Pros are all just completely powering off during regular use without the battery having run down—most users seem to be reporting that this problem happens to them regardless of whether the computer is plugged in or not.

According to one of the longest self-contained discussions about this issue online on Apple's own support discussion board, most people's problems are being attributed by Apple to a faulty logic board. Yes, those two ominous words that strike fear into our hearts: logic (*gasp*) board. Many of us remember the horrors that were incurred with Apple's iBook logic board issues some years ago and would never want to live through such dismal times ever again. Many users have apparently either called up AppleCare or taken their MacBooks/MacBook Pros into an Apple Store to have it examined, only to have it die right there in front of the Genius or while on the phone. There have been some reports of receiving a replacement machine immediately on the spot while others have had theirs "sent in" for logic board repairs.

Alas, it is always easy to pass off issues such as this by claiming that the problems are being experienced by a "very vocal minority." However, making such claims tends to be a lot easier said than done when you are not one of those suffering. Yes, dear readers, even your humble Infinite Loop writer has had a random MacBook Pro shutdown at least once (often more than once) every single day for at least two weeks."
