Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.

And I thought I wanted to hug Johan last week. I think I'm officially in love.

Just a couple things:
* Windows continues to be the primary target, even with Flash, PDF, and Quicktime. I find the Quicktime claims to be dubious, I think that's just Flash compatibility again. Apple should probably drop Flash in QT.
* Most of these sploits are, again, still trojans via unpoliced ads on trusted sites. They're not 'injected' or hacked in, they're from legit adsites that sold adspace to crackers. That's the big story here, still.
* Despite the fact that Adobe is distancing themselves from Apple due to offshoring / retirement of their Mac folks, they still don't have their act together on the Windows side.
Proof: Jobs snubbing of Flash on the iPhone, even he knows it's a junky POS, in return Adobe snubbing CS3 support on Snow Leopard even tho there are few problems. Adobe didn't have to say anything via their blogging douchebags; but they did.
Adobe and Apple are moving away from each other.. and despite the fact that they should have more resources freed up for Windows they still suck. Badly.
All I can say as an IT admin who has to dirty himself with Windows is 'use Flashblock' *and* use NoScript on Firefox.
