arstechnica.com — Security researcher Charlie Miller, who last year won $10,000 for hacking into a MacBook Air via Safari in just two minutes, says he thinks Safari will be the first browser to fall at this year's Pwn2Own contest.

You don't know spit about software if you think safari is a shoddy application.The reason Apple SW doesn't runs as well on WIndows as it does on the Mac is the same reason Windows software doesn't run well as on the Mac--the architectures are optimized for the target architecture and later ports are poor compromises. This is as true for Microsoft as it is Apple. You come off as a Windows bigot and apologist--all fiction and now fact to back it up.

I smell a fanboy. The only reason the MacBooks are more expensive is because they're over priced compared to similar spec'd PC laptops.

Oh wow, this is as close as AMS will ever get to saying that Apple made an inferior product.I heard no "ZOMG this contest is so riggad, that guy is stoopid" he said that Apple would have to tighten security, implying that Apple made an insecure and inferior product.

wrong. Charlie prepared a hack ahead of time specifically to exploit Safari for this year's contest, running a script from a remote server to exploit Safari. He claims that next year he will choose another target. All computers are vulnerable to this kind of pre-prepared hacking. Interestingly, however, Charlie noted that the Mac OS was more difficult to hack than Windows. So there you go -- nothing is perfect, and fanboys only read what they want to read.
