It means that Mac and Limux users are also vulnerable to java crap:

The malicious Java application is the latest example of the opportunistic trend to use the huge potential of Java to get a malware three-for-one in the cause of turning systems into Distribued Denial of Service bots. Once on the target system after hitting Java flaw CVE-2013-2465 (SE 7 Update 21 and earlier), patched last June, the malware sets up its command and control using IRC. According to Kaspersky, one of the targets on the receiving end of a DDoS attack might be an unnamed bulk email service. It also deploys the Zelix Klassmaster obfuscator as a technique meant to frustrate analysis.

Last time i checked, Java isn't even active in Firefox as embedded content. I'm using it because of Minecraft and it never even interacted with the browser.

To me also, Java is lot more simpler and easier than C#. Sure Java has no great GUI editing like C#, but GUI editing is for Newbies not Advanced users...

so do you write code yourself or you blowing smoke up your own wazoo to try to build your ego:clap:

Mac has always been vulnerable to many attacks. Who do you think hackers will attack, the least popular OS (Macintrash) or the most popular (Winblows 8/8.1)? (love smug Mac Users- not very bright)
