The very fact that this guy still works at Google proves that the disclosure of the exploit came as a job assignment from his employer. Never till now Google looked so terminally bad in my eyes. From "do not evil" to releasing exploits into the wild it's a short path it seems.
I won't care about the scumbag that did this personally. What troubles me is that Google acts in a harmful manner to a great deal of it's users.
Acting as a hackers organization may be still legal if you're a big enough company as Google is but it's sign about who are we dealing with when we search on the internet.
This is the case with.net developers too. Guys that work developing the IDE and the language are out of sync with reality and they seem to be pround of that.
