Apple cracks down on MacDefender, prevents malware downloads with daily quarantine list

Preconceptions aside, Apple products do occasionally spread viruses , and not just the biological kind , which is why Cupertino saw fit to equip Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard with a quarantine function to safely set malware aside. This week, however, Apple’s kicking those digital white blood cells into high gear, updating that quarantine list daily with a new background process. The company’s primarily got its crosshairs on the recent MacDefender scare, of course, but on the off-chance malware starts coming out of the woodwork, it sounds like you won’t have to wait for a formal security update to be forewarned of the dangers.

iFixit celebrates Friday with teardown of Virtual Boy, the greatest game console man has ever known

We still have memories — some would say nightmares, but we digress — of hanging out at a neighbor’s house and taking turns playing matches of Mario’s Tennis , our biological ocular displays assimilated into a rubber mask that engulfed our brains and left us in a permanent state of viewing the world in red wireframe.
