Breaching Fort Apache.org - What went wrong?

Just goes to show..

For the Apache Foundation, security is no doubt the first thing they take into consideration, and if skilled hackers want to compromise such an infrastructure then they will eventually succeed. It was a targeted attack and it was pretty successful. I doubt our government or overseas governments have the kind of security the Apache Foundation already had a long time ago which leads me to question, if targeted by people as skilled and determined as these culprits, how secure are we ?

Microsoft's web Office: No love for Chrome, Opera

Comment about The Register's post

On the browser market share, The Register article says "it's more likely that the numbers simply don't justify the effort required."

I don't think this is really a valid reason not to support certain browsers, in particular IE6. As a web developer I wouldn't last two minutes if I went to my superiors and used that excuse when a site I created for a paying client didn't work in most browsers, especially when a browser like Chrome will support every feature with ease.
