This year, the PWN 2 OWN hacking competition at CanSecWest was over nearly as quickly as the second day started. Apparently Charlie Miller (iPhone hacking fame) visited a website which contained his exploit code, which then allowed him to seize control of the computer, as about 20 onlookers [read: unashamed nerds] cheered him on. Of note, contestants could only use software that came pre-loaded on the OS, so obviously it was Safari that fell victim here.

Mr. Miller was awarded $10,000 and the free Mac Air.
