Amen brother ;)

One question though...has anybody else tried these exploits to see if they are real? How do we know that they're not just a hoax? Also, does it state somewhere what version of OS X they are running?
Here's the reason I ask:

"$ ruby exploit.rb
(...)
(gdb) r pwnage.qtl
The program being debugged has been started already.
Start it from the beginning? (y or n) y
Starting program:
/Applications/QuickTime Player.app/Contents/MacOS/QuickTime Player pwnage.qtl
Reading symbols for shared libraries . done
Reading symbols for shared libraries + done
sh-2.05b$ id"

Anybody else notice that the shell prompt changes, but the almighty 'haxor' didn't change shell's?! Something seems a little strange.

The exploit is supposed to return a shell. It probably didn't end up being a login shell.
