Regarding the mistake, well obviously everyone knows that Javascript and Java are the same. Hmm..

I also saw one security comparison where MS-Windows was the only operating system complying with the requirements because only it has a login screen that is only accessible by pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE. This is apparently a security measure.

I believe the above mentioned security show is geared towards average people and aims to raise their awareness of security, though it may do a piss poor job of that. I’ve eventually heard it all the way to the end and they did discuss some more interesting things like the jailbroken iPhone SSH issue (default password that everyone knows), port knocking (also regarding SSH) and the reuse of key-pairs in SSL certificate requests.

I’m not sure why they start the show by listing “security updates” and discussing them – it may be similar to the reason why Linux Outlaws start the show by listing new Linux releases of obscure distros and making fun of them: its something that you can do in the context of the show and it kills time. But at least with Linux Outlaws its often funny.
