Observing the "PWN to OWN" fallout

I've had some fun following (from the sidelines) the
results of the CanSecWest "PWN to OWN" contest.
There's clearly a problem, there may or may not
be an exploit in the (malicious) wild, and
3COM's Zero Day Initiative has
the full information (which I fully expect
they've shared with Apple by now). It'll be
interesting to see how long it takes to fix
this, and what exactly becomes public about how
the exploit works. In the meantime, as it seems
like browser Java is the vector used, I'm
wondering how many people are now turning off
Java in their browsers (and, of course, if that
really matters).
