Java 7u11 Is Out And Inadequate

--
[Updated 2012-01-28]

Oracle rushed out Java 1.7 update 11 over the weekend.

1) It still has well known, published, publicly acknowledged security holes. IOW: It's still entirely dangerous. Don't use Java unless you have to. Meanwhile:

Just Turn Java Off.

2) Apple's quick response (despite the nasty bug when DIY running XProtect Updater) was EXCELLENT. I applaud Apple for speed and efficiency. This is Apple on-their-toes and I like it!

3) That stupid, moronic Java 'Control Panel' bug that my 11 year old nephew could solve, whereby the 'Enabled' checkbox is ON forever, no matter what, continues. I hate you Oracle, you blithering idiots:

4) --> UPDATE NOTE from 2013-01-28:
It has been found that the "Very High" Security Level setting is INEFFECTIVE! It does NOT block malware. Consider it USELESS! Read ahead to my article:

Just Turn Java Off: 'Very High' Security Setting NOT EFFECTIVE!

 Therefore, here is how you effectively turn OFF Java in its 'Control Panel' until you have already navigated to a website you know is safe for running Java:

Set it and leave it on the 'Very High' Security Level. There is no excuse for setting it on anything else unless you know you're on a safe site. Then before you leave that site, turn it back up to 'Very High'. I can't stress this enough. 'Very High'. No, not me! The Java Security Level!

~~~

With the help of my Mac security friend Sean O'Connell, I'll be providing some further safety settings for the 'Advanced' tab later.

Just Turn Java Off. 
It's that bad.
