    Microsoft. The people bringing you Trusted Computing. They design a computer. Part for part. No variation between XBoxes. They write an OS that won't let you modify the bootsector. They have their BIOS lock you out. And their Box is cracked. Great...............

    And in other news...

    Microsoft has just announced two security updates for the XBox gaming system. According to Microsoft, these exploits could be used to make you trip over your shoelaces in Halo.

    The other vulnerability could let hackers fill your hard drive with MP3s over CmdrTaco singing.

    The second patch is considered extremely important.

    It seems like people just do this because THEY CAN and are not asking whether they SHOULD be doing this?

    Yeah, but you can't pick up chicks in an XBox.

    Spoken like a true non-hacker.

    They "achieved the power of invisibility" for keeps. You ain't gonna hear from them again.
