The article makes it sound like since "6 separate bugs" were needed to bring down Chrome, it proves that its a more secure browser (than presumably IE or Firefox). But in 10 days a teenager found 6 bugs in Chrome in 2012? That doesn't sound more secure.

It's probably easier to find bugs the deeper you get. There's the assumption that you're authorized, and fewer people get that deep so exploits come up less. It's far from ideal, but most of the issues are listed as low (2) or medium (2). Only one is listed as high (though the last is undisclosed).
Yes, "Teen pwns Chrome in 10 days, how long will it take China?" can easily be the headline.
