There's a lot of negativity in here. Companies need to always be tweaking and improving their services. or get out of the way for companies that will. What if Google "let well enough alone" and figured Yahoo was doing a good enough job at search? What if Ebay "left well enough alone" and never bought Paypal, never introduced buy it now? "Leaving well enough alone" is a losing attitude. That's not how things progress and evolve. Ultimately, the consumer decides on what is better, on what makes it or doesn't and luckily we have companies with the courage to innovate and find out what we as consumers want.

It could even be viewed as a beneficial worm in that it opened up a lot of eyes to the problem so that it can now be fixed. I'd rather have Samy point out this security hole than a more malicious person.

A hacker could make his own browser, but he'll be the only one using it, not the millions of other users that became Samy's friend. In this case, a custom browser wouldn't do the trick.

Why would you want Yahoo to go down?
