Nothing mentioned in TFA is a flaw with Chatroulette, they're simply byproducts of this type of communication. If I printed a picture of myself and stapled it to a telephone pole someone could possibly identify me and try to scam me, too. Does this mean telephone poles have flaws?
Canceling out gravity doesn't require inertial dampening. The latter would only be used if the suit was rapidly accelerated, which I would guess to be unlikely in an indoor medical setting.
I'm curious how Adobe can claim "consumers should be able to freely access their favorite content" just after they implemented support for Selective Output Control in their proprietary DRM.
Ya, I had to read this several times too. It reads as if Stagnitto both posted the CL listing and reported it, but in fact "falsely reporting an incident" was just what he was charged with, presumably because there wasn't a more fitting charge. TFA could have worded it better.
2560x2048 resolution doesn't exactly help me see my web pages or documents any better - in fact it can make them downright hard to see, so why do I need it?
Whether more pixels help you see your content better depends on how they're implemented. If you get a larger screen with the same DPI then you'll have more room for content. If you keep the screen size the same and up the resolution (and your OS/software scales appropriately) much of your content will be more detailed. It will only make things harder to see if the DPI goes up and your OS/software doesn't scale (ie everything will get smaller)
Your network needs to be protected from devices that connect to it, whether they're compromised phones, PCs or other devices. If you don't want to jailbreak your phone that's fine but compromised devices connecting to your network is hardly an argument against the concept of jailbreaking.
I don't agree that the iPhone is an appliance. Appliances are generally designed to do one thing well whereas the iPhone can do about 150,000 things well. It is a general purpose computer in the form factor of a phone. It's only the operating system's DRM that makes doing anything any desktop can do slightly more difficult.
It's true that for some jailbreak functionality it might be easier to simply purchase a different device, but the fact is there are far more apps available for the iPhone than any other mobile device. As such it's perfectly reasonable that someone might choose the iPhone for features/apps that are unique to it and then wish to add a few more things. For example if you want a device that streams Hulu and multitasks it will be much easier to jailbreak an iPhone than develop Hulu for Android.
I agree that such comparisons are strange at best, but you're making them too when you compare humans to deities or your digestive system to the matter of the universe. It's a necessary part of the debate.
The universe being a mind doesn't mean that achievements within it cannot be attributed to itself. If you figured out how to reach inside your brain and make a modificiation I would consider that an achievement. The scale of the universe makes any actions taken by it that much more impressive.
Perhaps you should do some research on jailbreaking. The advantages of a rooted device are pretty obvious to anyone who knows the types of functionality jailbreaking provides. How is adding functionality a waste? FYI mobile OSX has been jailbroken right from 1.0 so Apple patching is obviously not stopping anyone, and the App Store works just fine.
I'm looking forward to doing some of the excellent unsanctioned things jailbroken iPhones can do on my iPad, such as lock screen calendar, weather and notifications, Palm Pre-style multitasking, video wallpaper, themes etc.
Well said. I agree but it does depend on how you define deity or god. Not being a man of religion I tend to think of god as being the pattern of everything in the universe. The universe itself is a living, breathing entity, the scale and complexity of which the human mind cannot begin to understand. Man's achievements don't hold a candle to the invention of the cosmos.
It's not an exploit if it's using an intentional feature. TFA clearly mentions Adobe Reader as the software used, obviously opening it in something else will not have the same effect.

Perhaps TFA's title shouldn't say "in" then...
If you place a gun in a DMZ, doesn't it become a MZ?
That's far too logical to ever be implemented.

...or else it will look like that $1B in security was wasted Can't have that.
Was downgraded to 5.0 though apparently. We get them occasionally but this is the strongest I recall.
I wonder if it caused a tsunami in Harper's fake lake...
Remember this next time you assert that Windows only has more malware than linux/osx due to its popularity.

Yep, on iPhone check out Jaadu (now called iTeleport I think) - VNC or RDP versions.

Who says it was due to bad PR? You might want to avoid stating guesses as facts.
+1 on the greasefire tip, thanks!
I'd add Flashblock to your list too, it really speeds up a lot of sites and eliminates Flash ads, even ones AdBlock misses.

If you have the know-how you can do whatever you want with the hardware, including writing and installing your own OS. But why would you?
How is this insightful? Wow, unlocked doors don't need keys? Shocking!
I'd say a k-hole feels a lot more like hell.

Chrome integration of one buggy plugin deserves another, right?
If it's a Windows executable - nothing.
