Java 7 update 11 with security fixes available since yesterday evening:

http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

"Oracle said on its security blog on Sunday that its update fixed two vulnerabilities in the version of Java 7 for Web browsers...

"HD Moore, chief security officer with Rapid7... said it could take two years for Oracle to fix all the security bugs that have currently been identified in the version of Java that is used for surfing the Web.

“The safest thing to do at this point is just assume that Java is always going to be vulnerable. Folks don’t really need Java on their desktop,” Moore said."

Meh. Updated. No issues so far.

As for having Java on a desktop machine... sigh... Do you really think I'd have it if I didn't REALLY REALLY NEED it? ;)

Java will be with as for a VERY long time. Get used to it.

Oh, what was that language that so many Android programs are written in? ;)
