Apple Safari On Windows Broken On First Day
An anonymous reader writes "David Maynor, infamous for the Apple Wi-Fi hack, has discovered bugs in the Windows version of Safari mere hours after it was released. He notes in the blog that his company does not report vulnerabilities to Apple. His claimed catch for 'an afternoon of idle futzing': 4 DoS bugs and 2 remote execution vulnerabilities." Separately, within 2 hours Thor Larholm found a URL protocol handler command injection vulnerability that allows remote command execution.
Remote code execution 2.5 times faster than FF on windows!
Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are subtle, and quick to anger.
These things are worth a lot. Spammers, governments, mobsters... all will pay. You even get your choice of payment method:
*euros
*credit card numbers
*yuan
*underage virgins
*dollars
*shekels
*death to your enemies
*rubles
*pounds, British money
*pounds, crack cocaine
Just be sure to not rip off the buyer. Most of the buyers have nasty ways to kill you. Some of them have polonium. Some of them have penis pills.
Mac: Hello, I'm a Mac... ...and I'm a PC.
PC:
Mac is looking through a small viewfinder, looking very absorbed
PC: Hey Mac.
Mac: Yeah?
PC: What are you doing?
Mac: I'm browsing the internet with Safari.
PC: I do the same thing with IE.
Mac: You should try Safari. It's fast, secure, and easy to use.
Mac hands the viewfinder to PC
PC: Oh, thanks.
PC looks into the viewfinder and keels over, dead
Mac shrugs
You know, there is a difference between trolling and pointing out the flaws in your reasoning. Just saying.
No, no, no! Lynx has browser ascetic. You are thinking of aesthetic
This just in, nasty bugs were quickly discovered in the public beta of a newly ported app. Disappointment of outrageous expectations has now led to the death of several men living in their mothers' basements.
It is assumed Apple realized this devastating "beta" because they hate freedom and want the terrorists to win... and they've now won.
We will try to stay on top of this developing critical story.
My god have mercy on us all.

That's nice. It's not going to be me that spends the time compiling such a list. It wouldn't be an empty list, for sure. In any case, it's 100% clear that Apple wouldn't be on it, which is the point.
*raises hand* I'll start off the list!
1)??
2)??
3)Apple Inc.
Hrm, according to this list, looks like you're wrong... oh wait, do I have to back this up or something?
He probably did discover those vulnerabilities - the reason why I say this is because I also discovered similar mysterious vulnerabilities, ones that will disappear if I ever tell anyone about them. Oh, and I discovered 598 of them, and they would allow me to elevate my privileges AND mind control the owner of the computer running the software EVEN THROUGH TINFOIL HATS!
Yeah, so you all can shower me with undeserved praise now and slashdot my website and argue over weather I hate macs, or weather I am a communist, or the anti-Christ (or both).

Steve Jobs wondered while introducing Safari for Windows: "How good are we at bringing apps to Windows?"
After reading "4 DoS bugs and 2 remote execution vulnerabilities", I'd say: "Pretty good!"

And you guys want to call yourself software engineers. How is it a structural engineer can make a bridge or skyscraper perfect every time with no bugs and you guys don't seem to be able to do it ever. Engineer my ass!
Did they strip your Preview button too?

So when are you coming back for your second dose of moderation? Or do I get to steal them because I beat you to it? Informative surely *fingers crossed*

Did you just really use the word rapscallion in a real world sentence?
Awesome.

But it just seems to me that they need a "devious little shit" department
Apple have plenty of lawyers already.

They should put Neidermeyer on it?

Ah, I see. So this is a religious thing. I wont bother arguing then.

Don't you mean Mirabilis?
You're welcome.
Also, that should be "Nazis."
And "no longer supported" is the new gold.
