They mandated Intel hardware be used for components and didn't allow for non-HD devices. Which means that for people who are still using an analog TV they wouldn't even be able to connect it to the TV without an expensive converter.
Why support technology, which will be gone within the next few years? Who, in the home-user-segment, REALLY replaces a tube-TV with another tube-TV (are they still being made at all?)?
The app as it is distributed via the appstore is harmless, as the exploiting payload is only distributed from CM's server on the first launch of the app, and when CM has actually enabled the distribution of the payload.
Watch the video, it's shown quite clearly.
SGS: 16 months (July '10 -> Nov '11)
Nexus One: ~19 months (April/May '10* -> Nov '11)
Google themselves said, at I/O 2011, that they want 18-month-lifecycles for handsets which support coming updates.
So yeah, _I_ expect SGS2 and Nexus S to be EOL'd at around Nov/Dec '12 resp. May/June '12.

You got anger management issues or something? Or just a stupid troll?

Quo vadis, Slashdot?

Darwin. This story is about Darwin.
Not really, no.
Oh my... Will never be able to unsee it now, thank you.

I'd prefer a new kid of TV-content.
The current one plainly sucks.

Miller has found and reported dozens of bugs to Apple in the last few years, and had alerted Apple to this latest flaw on October 14th.

You might want to, you know, RTFA.
At least the app had no bare tits. The security flaws? Meh.
Obviously.
He (or his colleague) _just_ found the tape two days after Jobs died. :)
What a coincidence!
Bravo.
We have to let go of this notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose.
Who needs error-correction on an optical media with actual _data_ anyway?
