It's WoW's client-server model that allows that to happen. The client tells the server where your character is, so if you hack the client to tell the server that you're 50 mile in the air then it really thinks you are 50 mile in the air, but on the plus side really bad lag doesn't stop you from moving. The trick you mention has been being done for a couple of years now, a gold-selling site had a contest where they would pay some amount of money ($1,000 maybe?) for the best gold-selling advertisement idea (after Blizzard implemented all the anti-gold spam measures), that was the winning idea. GMs usually bury the corpses soon after it happens though.
Oops assumed because Apple is an American company, America can be substituted with whatever country it originates from and the question still stands. However, considering New Zealand copied most of British law I would be surprised if they didn't have a similar consumer legislation. In which case Apple could be in for very large fines.
Doesn't America have anything like the Consumer Guarantees Act? If something like this happened in New Zealand, Apple would be legally liable and have to fix the device or refund the money with no strings attached. If there had been consequent damage to other property they would have to pay for that too.
Kaupthing had fallen over and if they hadn't tried to stop people finding out, it wouldn't have been posted to Slashdot and I and many others would never have known. We need a name for when attempted censorship leads to wider distribution of the information. The Kaupthing effect, perhaps?
Back in 2006, the UK Government confiscated Firefox CDs from a company that was selling them. A UK Trading standards officer contacted the Mozilla Foundation informing them of this. When Mozilla's rep replied saying it wasn't a violation of Mozilla's copyright the officer flipped their lid and couldn't understand how this could possibly be. Some people just don't get it.

Even more confusing, how would you classify a chimera where some body parts have Y chromosomes and some don't?
I don't know, but the whole lions-head-that-breaths-fire thing might give it away.
Hold a Vista installation DVD in front of it and see if it growls.
Actually they're making a Firefly (the movie, Serenity, actually) reference.
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then - explode.
Jayne: We're gonna explode? I don't wanna explode!
It's sort of like email only instead of errors it gives Firefly references.
What are you talking about? There aren't any bu"Everything's shiny, Cap'n. Not to fret!" Unfortunately, you'll need to refresh.
There are some bugs I don't want them to fix.
It's plain as day who is right here, it's ... er ... the guy that ... oh ... um ... ahh ...
GUYS!? It's BSD vs Microsoft, whose side are we on?
If everything anyone ever said about IT and computers came true, we would all have 640K memory.

Excellent technical skills, interest in hacking and a name that no security department will take seriously.
Hi Steve!

Because what could possibly go wrong with Android?

Would be a great game with a nice twist; to win you have to die.

They're recruiting COD players for that.
And where better to fight the Government than within it?
Other than a different country, with slack extradition laws.
Next year at Blackhat:
- Moxie Marlinspike demonstrates how to pwn an F22-Raptor has it passes your datacenter
- K Chen describes how an attacker can install malicious code into the firmware of the steering console in a M1A2
- Joshua Abraham demonstrates several flaws in secret identities used by CIA agents
- Marc Bevand disarms Russian missiles with an ATI Graphics card
- Joe Grand now gets free parking in a Black Hawk
Infringing on people's rights to keep half the neighbourhood awake is "downright nazi"?
England admits they're doing it!
it's called handling the case competently, apparently they don't teach that at Harvard law school
Nope, just one geek.
1000 times.

G.O. would roll in his grave if he found out that 1984 was a mild version of the future.
Didn't you hear? Xcel dug him up, wrapped in wire and are generating electricity by how fast he's spinning.
