Remember all of the recent exploits are theoretical vulnerabilities and therefore if you have tried out any of the proof of concept code and seen or heard your Mac do anything after clicking on these demonstrations, then you must be imagining things.
Also, "all of the recent exploits" are actually just a single issue, that of URL handlers going unchecked, rather than a whole plethora of exploits as the number of recent reports might have you believe.
I'm always amazed at how fast Mac users will resort to MS-style tactics and excuses.
The difference is that Apple, unlike Microsoft, provides timely patches. Not timely excuses.
No, the difference is the grandparent poster quoted out of context. Pudge was referring to the "entirely unfounded, sweeping statements about the general quality of Mac OS X" that 'Max' made while reporting the bug, he wasn't trying to play down the fact a bug exists.
The latest (stable) camino uses the Mozilla 1.0 branch. Since 1.0 the Mozilla trunk has had many many speed improvements and now runs much faster. Try a nightly build of Camino, which also sports a new bookmark manager, a google search field and selective pop-up unblocking built into the UI.
It was also, however, impolite of them to do so without even taking the time to send an email to the FirbirdSQL people saying "Hey, we'd like to call our browser Firebird. You cool with that?"
Whilest that is so, the FirebiredSQL team has now used up any currency they have to negotiate with the Mozilla team. Resorting to harrasment of one or two of the members of the Mozilla project personally is not just plain rude, but quite disgusting behaviour.
The Mozilla team may have been wrong to simply take the name (and I'm sure the AOL legal team knew about this project, I can't see them investigating this for 5 months without talking about this overlap), but the firebirdSQL team are also wrong result to spaming mailboxes with abusive mail.

RSS is just an XML flavour which most people serve using HTTP, so there is no reason why you can't use cookies alongside an RSS feed.

Another Risk clone is iConquer, also built for Mac OS X. It's highly addictive in multiplayer mode.

Switching to this model will mean Pheonix is directly competing with Camino on Mac OS X, how could they possibly beat a Mac OS X native attempt?
