Gone in 2 minutes: Mac gets hacked first in contest

This article made me think about function over form... If you buy a laptop for over $2,000 and it is a laptop that is one of the easier laptops to compromise, then what is the point of handling private information and vital activities on that laptop if you risk getting the information stolen? We usually hear about Windows-based laptops being easily compromised because there is a larger user base for the Windows operating system. This might be the reason why the MacBook might have been easily compromised, Apple might have let their guard down while developing all parts of their new Mac OS. If the MacBook Air has a few bugs to fix, I hope Apple can release patches right away. You don't want a $2000+ laptop to be easily compromised or vulnerable... I would feel like I wasted money if that was the case.
