George Ou's Apple Bashing Ignores Real Problems

Also, while George Ou was getting fantastically excited about the announcement of a 'zero-day' exploit for old Airport cards, Microsoft announced a 'zero-day' exploit for Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 and 7.

While the Apple exploit was limited to wireless cards produced previous to 2003 and required the card to be in active scanning mode, not to mention the attacker must within wireless range, this new Microsoft flaw allows for remote exploits over the internet.

So, George, which vulnerability should get the most press? An Airport exploit for older Macs. Or a exploit for a brand-new Microsoft product?
