So lessee... it's possible to hack a bluetooth phone from over a mile away so that it can be used without the owner actually ever even knowing about it and people are surprised the protocol's being dropped?

Not to troll or flamebait, but I find Bluetooth to be an inferior technology. And while widespread adoption of a technology sometimes makes the said technology improved upon, I was beginning to feel that this is one of a few exceptions, although I wish it wasn't/isn't. If bluetooth is on its way to death, good riddance. If it's here to stay, I hope it gets better, A LOT better.

Zhrodague.net - I do projects and stuff too.
