Hacking contest organizer: Safari will fail first

Wasn't the way that safari was exploited was through Quicktime?
Quicktime has been notorious for containing massive amounts of legacy code, but Quicktime X is supposed to fix that. (OS 10.6+)

Situations.
1. They have safari installed because IE is too bugged up, and Firefox doesn't work because its too awesome to, and they dislike Google chrome.
2. Theres always stupid people, theres always people with money, theres always a solution to those two problems, and a benefactor.
3. I vomited and defecated myself into coma the last time I installed iTunes or Safari, and it was regularly against my will. (I'm liberal like that, and I dislike the colour grey in programs)

And yes, the amount of times I've had to rip an Apple zealots eyebrows off just to make them realize that Apple OS' and (Yes they believed even their hardware had a magical coating against Viruses) other such products are not 100% secure.

Windows and Apple will suffer from the same problems generally, they are corporates, you release a patch to fix 1 little security flaw, then bam, you get hit by that wonderful law of, fix one small problem, yield to 100 bigger ones. So if a win patch gets released and it totally wrecks a load of other companies windows computers..well there you go.

Linux, well, if they see something funky, they fix it themselves, then include it in an update.
And theres only a few viruses for ubuntu out there, and you have to extract and install them yourself.
"Linux, letting the person before you piss in the beer before you drink it" (Open source ?)

And yeah Icefire I believe that's right, or atleast I heard it too, so I guess it is.
