I call BS on the "unfixable" part.

Besides, using NoScript renders this unconfirmed vulnerability totally impotent.

If these exploits require JavaScript, it seems that the NoScript extension would be a reasonable solution for the time being. It will prevent JavaScript execution except for sites that you specifically permit; if you only permit known-safe sites you should not have to worry about a JavaScript exploit.

Might be a good article for the tech ping list.

Sounds like the rumor and it's spread is made in Microsoft. I call serious BS on "unfixable" exploits. Everything is fixable given enough time and effort, except perhaps the next version of Microsoft's OS.

I was right. It's total BS. It was a prank.

There, amid the presumed innuendo, new Mozilla security chief Window Snyder -- a former @stake researcher recently hired away from Microsoft -- reportedly took seriously a video of the exploit shown at the conference

The dude's first name is Window???? What? Were his parents some sort of Micro-hippies or something?
