I just get a network error when I try to hit that site.
What about IE8? Surely that was able to fall to this attack.
Ok, I just tested on IE8. It only 1/2 worked. The IE logo was still showing on teh page—it wasn’t replaced with the Gmail logo.
Oh and I had to run it in compatibility mode. If I did’t run it in compatability mode the video player would still be on the page overtop of the gmail prop.

I’ve never run with tabs for some reason they annoy me greatly?
The difference between MSIE and Firefox, however, is that there are extensive open source communities writing for Firefox whereas MSIE is closed and relegated to the hallowed halls of MS programming. Open source communities generally perform much more extensive exploit testing and plug their holes quicker. They may be fun to hack, but oftentimes the hackers are the same people who are patching the holes.
Think of it like the stories of corporations or the FBI/CIA hiring hackers who breached their networks in order to harden them to future attacks.
