Quicktime 7.3.1 Update is out.

I blogged about it back here, and here. Apple has finally put out an update for Quicktime 7.3.1.  Good thing too, cause the exploits are making the rounds.  Did you guys hear about the Second-Life Quicktime exploit.  I think we talked about that in PaulDotCom as well, I think I have blogged about almost everything we talked about in the podcast now... heh.
