That article by the way was written by a PC user and herin lies the problem.
You cannot have a widget installed without your express permission. He is wrong.
The rest of the piece basically states that it is bloody difficult to infect a mac, and would come down to user stupidity, this is rather different to smugness.
Its the same old rubbish. I think this year will be the year someone tries to attack Mac OSX, but one thing is for certain its going to be a damn site more difficult than attacking windows.
Smugness comes from two important elements, 1, it is widely agreed that OSX is more difficult to 'infect'
2, and importantly there is significant user community far far better than anything you can find with PC/Windows, because of our 'smugness' we talk, and talk leads to better protection its just the way it is.
However something is going to happen this year, something baaaaddd, (said in a horror film, old wise man kinda way)
But there again, they have been saying that for the last 6 years.
