They(extreme Apple fans)are indeed vicious.
And who here is being vicious?...
Exploits on a Mac require user permission, browser aside. There’s no “hack” that will commandeer a Mac without it. Are there plenty of naive Mac users, who will elect to allow it? Sure. I think there’s a little “marketing” going on with this prize, though, to imply that their “hack” is the equivalent of what is possible on any PC running a Windows variant.
Be sure to post a follow up when they actually find an exploit.

Nice reporting... leaving out the fact that it was the 2nd day, after several layers of security (that is, by default, usually on) were taken down.
And I don't recall if it was this event, or the one the previous year, where the person that "won" had to have physical access to the machine.
Why I use FIREFOX with my Macs. Safari has a lot of bugs.
I love these threads. As a student of human nature, I can say that there is quite a lot of entertainment in reading the carefully constructed verbal jousts from both sides of the Apple Wars forces circling around a technical issue. Let’s get some results from this event so the fun can start.
