You've all seen the jars of Gerber baby food, right? The one with the big baby face on the front? Turns out when they first tried to sell it in rural segments of Africa, it wouldn't sell -- like at all. Turns out that the majority of the population in those markets is illiterate and so the products contained pictures of what was inside the jars and boxes. Well, the locals thought Gerber was selling, achem... baby.
Some good points. Though the Gerber story is probably an urban legend.

Forgive me if this was a joke, but I'll ask anyway-
Why do you prefer American parts for your German automobile? If it's "because my taxes pay for it", then do you care which state it comes from?
Just curious.

Am not AC, and am seconding that. Mistakes were made, patches hae been deployed. It's an arbitrary number of patches, occasionally it will be the highest number. Does firefox work? Great, who cares what OS it is as long as it's patched?
Oh fsm, did I just feed a troll?
Alarm Raised For "Clickjacking" Browser Exploit 308
Shipment Date writes "ZDNet's Zero Day blog has some new information on what looks like a scary new browser exploit/threat affecting all the major desktop platforms — Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Adobe Flash. The threat, called Clickjacking, was to be discussed at the OWASP conference but was nixed at the last minute at hte request of affected vendors. From the article: 'In a nutshell, it's when you visit a malicious website and the attacker is able to take control of the links that your browser visits. The problem affects all of the different browsers except something like lynx. The issue has nothing to do with JavaScript so turning JavaScript off in your browser will not help you.'"
