With the infamous PWN2OWN contest drawing ever closer, the heat is ramping up. This year's instalment pitches Apple's Safari (on the Mac), Google's Chrome, Internet Explorer 8, and Firefox (all on Windows 7) against one another, while also allowing crackers to take on mobile platforms. Last year's winner, Charlie Miller, who won by cracking Mac OS X within minutes last year, says Safari on the Mac will be the first to fall.

Lets face it.
Stick a normal user infront of any piece of software and they're going to destroy it with their stupidity. Doesn't matter how secure it is.
As for the tests, last year no one could crack them, it was only after relaxing the rules of what you could actually do were they cracked.
They test all the latest browsers apart from Apples, and they don't test Opera's latest either.
Doesn't exactly seem like a fair test to even begin with, so why even warrant the results.
