What is it with you and Apple?
The issue isn't that a MacBook got hacked (with the inference
that OS X was hacked) but that a third party driver got hacked.
Moreover, since it wasn't the Airport card that got hacked, how
often will this proliferate? The story is that a WiFi driver got
hacked and it is platform independent, so for those PC and Mac
laptop owners using third party WiFi cards, they need to contact
their WiFi card vendor about updated drivers.

No OS manufacturer should get dinged because of faulty third
party drivers, especially if they weren't provided by the OS
manufacturer via a software distro agreement.

Then again, who's gonna read an article titled, "Third Party WiFi
drivers hacked"?

I actually liked the interview and appreciate that you made
explicit mention that this exploit DOES NOT AFFECT AIRPORT
USERS.

Too bad the title is so misleading.
