Now Apple should employ Charlie Miller, and then do an update a week or so before the competition next year.
A more informative competition would be to add an extra day which would allow the same conditions as Day 1 but any base install over the previous year (that was around for more than 2 weeks or something). So Macs could be attacked with 10.5.0 installed, and Windows with non-XP1.
It would be more significant for an attack to succeed on Day 1 conditions for a system that was around for over 1 year than to succeed only on Day 2 or 3 for a system that has just come out.
I suspect that yes, disabled people who have lost their homes are complaining about this. This is nothing to do with a browser fight. It's about a government organisation being competent enough to make a website built to Web Standards.
When government agencies publish books no doubt they use a spell checker so that the words they write conform to standard way of writing the language. Why should a website be any different. Standards exist for a reason. They are easy to implement. They make the site work better.
