Disabled Java plugin on Mac (new JAVA 7 Update 13 fixes this)

Breaking news – Disabled Java plugin on Mac
Update 02/01/2013: Apple has recently blacklisted the Java Web plugin, as a result GRAPHISOFT’s key plug programming site (https://upgrade.graphisoft.com/) is not working on Mac systems. In some cases the site returns Java is outdated message, in other cases it just displays the standard error message, linking this site.
With the latest OS X updates Apple has added a security mechanism that forces Safari to use a minimum specified version of the Java plugin. At any given time Apple can remotely change this value on all online Apple systems. This was the second time this month that they set a value that references a Java version that is not yet available, to quickly respond to Java plugin based vulnerabilities.
