Geoff Duncan looks at the recent Safari exploit and Matt Neuburg explains how we've ended up in this situation. Also in this issue, Adam reviews iPhoto 6 in detail, checks in with the latest news from former Macintosh evangelist Guy Kawasaki, and looks briefly at Apple's announcement of the one-billionth song sold via iTunes.
