In Google’s favor, notice how complete domination of the search market has lead the company to provide services that look a lot like public goods. Here is Wikiipedia on public goods.

I recently got a macbook, my first apple product. I used to be quite rigid about computer security on my PCs but haven’t been able to find anything much about security on macs and apple products. Any insight on this? Are MacBooks, iPads, Safari, etc. really free from internet nasties? I am not convinced but most other mac users seem to be.
Thoughts?
Much thanks.
