Apple support will not support users who have malware installed impersonating an Apple AV for Mac

I guess that’s one way to deal with Viruses on OSX. Apple just ignores them all together.

Free & Better Alternatives To MobileMe

MobileMe is Apple's attempt to help users keep their data in sync. However, there is one problem with MobileMe: It costs $99 a year. While many users may be able to justify spending $99 a year to keep their data synced between their devices, others may find it outrageous and, as it turns out, there are free alternatives.

Ryan,

I've asked my colleagues who deal with Apple if they knew why Opera was approved while Google Voice was rejected.

I've discovered that some of the higher-ups at AT&T did have a high amount of influence on the two applications being accepted and rejected.

AT&T decided to reject Google Voice due to the fact that users would have no reason to keep their texting plan since they would be able to send/receive all their text messages through the Google Voice app which would make use of their data plan. This would cost AT&T to lose $20/month per user who got rid of their texting plan.

Opera Mini, on the other hand, compresses web pages before they are sent to the device as a way to speed up their web browsing experience on slower networks (EDGE). Because Opera compresses the web page before it is sent to the device, it results in less data transfer on the device. This would result in AT&T saving money by charging users the same amount every month for using less data.

I hope this has cleared some things up. ~ Anonymous
