This just cannot be! Right!?
Good heavens! Oh no! How are we to ever believe that Apple has a wireless flaw!! It cannot be.

Well, even if it is, I'm sure whatever proof may be offered for such a vulnerability it will be explained away some how. I think thats safe to say given that what ever proof of problems with Apple computers have been proved in the past, the evidence has simply been overcome by simple verbal refutation without any substance by certain members of the pro-Apple crowd, and as that seemed to be good enough for them in the past, to ignore Apple vulnerabilities, I have no doubt it will serve their ego's adequately in this case.
