Johnny Cache Breaks Silence On Wi-Fi Exploit
Joe Barr writes, "Johnny Cache — aka Jon Ellch — is chafing under the cone of silence placed over him and co-presenter Dave Maynor about the Wi-Fi exploit they presented at Black Hat and DEFCON last month. So he has finally broken his silence on NewsForge in hopes of ending the personal attacks coming from what he implies is a smear campaign started by Apple." (Newsforge and Slashdot are both owned by OSTG.)
Johhny Cache writes, "If you're going to post a news story that is a rehash of my post to a mailing list, I would much prefer it if people actaully just read the post in its entirety."

All available studies show that not only are Mac users (excluding recent switchers) smarter than PC users, they're more creative, discerning, and artistic, too.
Not that I think you'll believe those statistics, anyway. Denial of science (e.g. Bible-thumping anti-evolutionism) is characteristic of PC users.
If he does not like it, he should go work for another company. It's not like the government is telling him to be silent.
Let me make it perfectly clear to you. They don't have more important things to do, other than consulting with David Copperfield on their next illusion. This "exploit" as they call it, is FUD. I'd have a better chance of getting struck by lighting and winning the lottery.
Follow me so far?
These two assclowns can't prove their exploit unless they SET IT UP beforehand. If it was such a HUGE exploit, then why not do it again? If you did it once, you can do it again.
Follow me so far?
Their silence speaks volumes.
It's either on the beat or off the beat, it's that easy.

The only thing that surprises me is seeing the Apple shills travelling off apple.slashdot.org to do their moderating.
Usually they hover over appledotslashdot.
I think I am still a bit surprised by the Apple 'love' and free pass that SlashDot and SlashDoters give to Apple.
I have been around a fairly long time in the tech world, working on and part of the development projects for everything from XWindows and BSD to even being an external MS NT consultant in the early 90s.
Why on earth is Apple allowed to basically RAPE the Open Source world, and because of it does use BSD it is given some free pass on screwing with things most SlashDot users are completely against.
Yet if you point this out people think you are a MS Fanboi, and it should be all BSD/Linux/Etc users that are the most outraged by a lot of things Apple has done, not only with bastardizing Open Source 'as Apple sees fit' to their legal strong arm tactics, DRM, Closed Markets, etc.
I am going to quote the anonymous coward so that those who ignore anonymous postings can hear:
Right, all those targets of no military value whatsoever, like bridges and airports and buildings being used as arms depots in violation of the Geneva Convention: those were just destroyed on a wanton rampage. Heck, any military man will tell you that, when it comes to crossing rivers, bridges are more of a nuisance than anything else! And the arms stores? Heck, those were old guns - the IDF was doing Hezbola a favor getting rid of that stuff, since now the reinforcements swimming across the river would be carrying *new* guns in their teeth!
It makes no military sense at all!
I conveniently left out the snide remark at the end... but you should consider well the meaning. Not everyone is blind or partisan. We can see through some of the crap. Can you give a good reason for Hezbollah to go invade another country and kidnap its soldiers? I am sure someone believes that there is a good reason but a rational person would say that the agressor is the side that first (remember, Israel was respecting the cease-fire/truce) went into the territory of the other side.
Personally, I would just nuke the whole region just to shut them all up. I do not care if they are Arabs, Israelis, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Jews, kikes, wops, whores, etc. The craziness just has to stop or be contained strictly within that region.
