If you are implying I watch porn, I have no issues admitting I watch my fair share of it. I'm a guy. I like porn. Who the hell doesn't?
In fact, this just inspired me. I'll be on youporn.

I watch porn all the time, but it's never given me any issues. My mom has ended up clicking sponsored links a couple times which turned out to be malware. I've been having issues with flash a lot, and I've no clue as to why. It's been happening for a long damn time. The last computer had to be restored every month practically. It was a joke.

I've had my iPod Nano (7GB, I really need to upgrade because I keep having to delete stuff I don't listen too much), and that's lasted for about four years now. It broke last month; just wouldn't respond to the menu button, but it suddenly fixed itself. Mindfuck, man.

If your torrenting and downloading programs,games, movies, music you are nearly garenteed to get something at one point or another. Maybe you have just been lucky but id definitely say you are either very careful or just the mall small minority.

The state of AV software nowdays pretty much nullifies a lot of the threat that's out there. With active scanning of everything that comes in or out of your computer, you literally have to go out of your way to get a virus intentionally, and even that is hard sometimes. (I've tried). Otherwise, most anything that tries to sneak by is caught and quarantined automatically, or just straight up blocked.
Of course, that's dependent on what you're using for AV software and whether you keep it up to date or not. Still, stuff like Avast is damn good at all this and keeps itself updated. I surf the sleaziest porn sites unafraid. The argument for Macs over PCs that centers on Macs being largely virus-proof is only relevant to uneducated, unskilled PC users. (which is probably why it's always going to be relevant)

And also why I'm going straight back to PC once my mac craps out. I appreciate its user-friendliness but I really want more control. I feel like it treats me like an idiot by not allowing me access to its inner workings.

Simply because, like all computer tech stuff, it bores me. I hate using it (again, cuz it's boring) but when I need to it's always done what I want.

Technically, yes...but it's still superficial access. It's not nearly as open as, say, Windows XP was. Granted, Windows 7 is a little tighter but it still offers more accessibility than OS X.

My PC broke down and I've been doing my insideous online bidding with an iPod touch. I can't even use the thing unless it's plugged in as I get a weird "iPod needs to cool down before you can use it" warning every time I unplug it. It's not even warm. And so I've been alternating between unplugging it and letting the battery drain slowly so I can plug it in again and use it without it over charging and destroying the battery. When does the iPod start doing this? Right after the warranty expires, of course.
