So the heck what if its just merely scanning your files for malware. So if the app doesn't actually remove the malware, then no malware exists in the entire iOS ecosystem? laughable. You can still get malware by downloading certain files from an email attachment, for example, regardless of what operating system you are on. I just cringe when folks talk in absolutes and assume that iOS can't have viruses/malware at all, when that is clearly not the case. The mere fact that my iTunes account was hacked, should demonstrate the fact that my account was compromised somehow through Apple's platform via iTunes/iOS. And yes, I change my password every few months with a strong password logic. And no, this is not an isolated event. Its occurred to many Apple users, so much so that it was featured on macrumors frontpage.
'using 3rd party software' is key with what you said. You cannot sync a non iDevice onto iTunes, obviously. But thats not the point. The features of 'syncing, buying music, movies, books, apps' is only available for iDevices only. Thats not considered free, as you are required to have an iDevice synced to it. Yes, iTunes is free. But the only thing you can do with it (if you don't have a iDevice) is to play 30 second song clips, and movie trailers. Yay.
He made the claim that FF is faster than Safari, even when the benchmarks I provided show that FF is 'running circles' around Safari.
