I bring up this slashdot article:

http://developers.slashdot.org/story/10/04/09/2017232/Serious-New-Java-Flaw-Affects-All-Browsers?from=rss

because the article is incorrect on one particular count.  The exploit does not affect Mobile Safari on the iPhone platform, never did, and for all reasonable expectations never will.
