How's about something surrounding FF 3s release and plug in migration?

Dan Kaminsky isn't saying - yet:  http://www.doxpara.com/

El Reg thinks it's probably a variant of a known vulnerability:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/09/dns_bug_student_discovery/

though Dan Kaminsky and commentators suggest Dan's discovery is the ease
with which the DNS server can be hijacked (one described it as 'point
and click' simplicity).

So, while it would be good to hear an exposition on the podcast, Al can
be forgiven for not having much source material!
