1. No. Wait until the updates are two to four weeks old (to make sure they work). If your current setup works, why rush to upgrade?

2. No. If your physical security is breached, or you don’t trust those closest to you, you’re in bigger trouble than having some vulnerable computer files.

3. No. This just puts another mindless I-didn’t-read-the-pop-up-warning mouse click in your download process.

4. No. Since the passwords are difficult to remember, you’ll have to store them somewhere. What if someone gets access to your 1Password?

5. Sure, give it a try. If it breaks something you use, then turn the firewall back off.

6. No. If someone has written malware that uses the wi-fi printer connection as an attack vector, they’re a genius and can’t be stopped anyway.

7. No. When you get your new bluetooth keyboard, you’ll just have to turn it back on.

8. No. Again, if your physical security is breached, you’re screwed anyway. Also, add up all the time spent typing in your strong password to wake up your Mac over the years – you could have spent that with your children or helping unwed mothers.

9. No. You might as well download Tarot programs and use them to protect your machine.

10. No. “There’s no need for paranoia”? Then why advise us to be paranoid?

Relax. Live life. Enjoy. Be like me.
