Can you point to a web site that will take over my Mac simply by visiting it as you claimed?

This is the fifth or sixth time I have asked for a verification.

Put up or shut up time : )

At this point I can only conclude that you are completely dishonest.

I ask the same of you. Where can I go to have my win7 box taken over? It's put up or shut-up time for you.

The absence of such site doesn't mean it can't happen. But I guarantee you with only 5% of the market share that website will be a lot harder to find than the windows one. So I'll let you go first.

You can’t point me to a site that will take over my machine either.

However if I sit with you in starbucks for 10 min i’ll flip your display 180 and be logging keystrokes or redirecting you to a phishing site.

You mactards have no idea

I may not be able to take over your Mac (I don't know any of the arbitrary code execution holes being used right now), but it's trivially easy to get your personal information without you knowing. And it's from Safari, specifically the Apple-created (not Webkit) part of the browser.

How do you know your personal information has not been leaked already? You don't. Safari gladly gives away that information without and user interaction, just by visiting a web page.
