Safari/MacBook First To Fall At Pwn2Own 2011
recoiledsnake writes "A team of security researchers from the French pen-testing firm VUPEN successfully exploited a zero-day flaw in Apple's Safari browser to win this year's Pwn2Own hacker challenge. The hijacked machine was running a fully patched version of Mac OS X (64-bit). Bekrar's winning exploit did not even crash the browser after exploitation. Within five seconds of surfing to the rigged site, he successfully launched the calculator app and wrote a file on the disk without crashing the browser. Apple has just released Safari 5.0.4 and iOS 4.3 a few minutes before the Pwn2Own contest in an attempt to save face (a last minute patch for Chrome was also released) but failed."
Yes pretty much, but the average slashdotter is always looking for opportunities to vent displaced rage and Apple is it lately.
What's that rumbling sound I hear? Ach mein gott, it's the stampede of anti-apple trolls with their one-dimensional stereotypes, flaming straw men, and tired, old memes!

FYI, you should get paid for that kind of PR work. Making pre-emptive excuses for Apple and all. "Oh, Apple is only losing cuz they're the best, and now we'll get trolls cuz haterz gunna hate!" Perhaps your kind is the reason why Apple is hated. You disgust me.
It seems rather apparent that you're the insecure piece of shit.
Thanks for illustrating my point with your blind, irrational, displaced rage.
:P
Read it again troll, this time thinking about the fact that I'm a gentoo and freebsd user.

Being emotional (something which is only your imaginative interpretation of my rather terse writing, btw)
The fact that you wrote "You disgust me" is not in his imagination. That is a very clear statement of your emotional reaction.
I'm afraid, Mr Hanky, you're just proving yourself to be exactly what you were described as by the other poster.
