Been getting a number of "WARNINGS" about a new security issue with Java.
Not sure how concerned we should be? Should we turn Java off as they
recommend?

Yes. Switch it off in the browser. Client side almost nothing uses it
these days anyway.

Interesting that it should be brought up today - since, just yesterday my
wife was watching the News and a big deal was being made out of Java
Security issues! Paul - I had no idea that few client side apps use it these
days - since, I thought Java was still so intrinsic to life on the web...

usage from your friends in the US gov't:

from the article: "Apple stopped shipping its computers with Java
enabled last year, largely because of security concerns, but said it
was remotely disabling the Java 7 plug-in on Macs where it had already
been installed. "
So Apple can just come into anyone's computer and do stuff?
