  1. These vendors are idiots. Utter idiots. I'd rather buy a spyware infected smartphone rather than Bluetooth headphones. I have enough radiation around my head anyway.

  2. Let's hope so (^.^)

  3. Title wording on Tesla Fixes Security Bugs After Claims of Model S Hack (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    "Claims of Model S Hack"
    It's not a claim Reuters!!! The researchers reported the issues to Tesla, who fixed them. Tesla fixed them BECAUSE the hack worked. It's not a claim at all.

  4. Bad wording on Cisco Scrambles To Patch Second Shadow Brokers Bug In Firewalls (onthewire.io) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Scrambles is the incorrect term. The exploit has been around for about a month. You "scramble to fix" something in a few hours or days.... not a month after.

  5. Newswire on GoDaddy Proposes New DNS Configuration Standard (programmableweb.com) · · Score: 1

    That PRnewswire is the most generic thing I've read in a while

  6. I remember a demo of Photoshop from two years ago when they managed to reverse lens blur off a photo. It was only a matter of time.

  7. Re:Is phishing email allowed? on Google Is Offering $200K To Hack Android Phones Using Email and A Phone Number (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Rules say no user interaction. It has a full exploit chain.

  8. Re:Why not just fix it in 49.0.1? on Firefox 49 Postponed One Week Due To Unexpected Bugs (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    My thoughts exactly

  9. That's some good reporting right there. Nice job Manish!

  10. Old news on Japanese Government Plans Cyber Attack Institute (thestack.com) · · Score: 0

    This is extremely old news, like May: http://the-japan-news.com/news...

  11. Runs BusyBox

  12. Re:What did you expect? on Computer Science Professor Mocks The NSA's Buggy Code (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    From what I've read. Snowden was actually mediocre.

  13. Re:Fuck This Softpedia Bullshit! on 'Smart' Electrical Socket Leaks Your Email Address, Can Launch DDoS Attacks (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    It's Edimax SP-1101W... are you happy now?

  14. Why is LinkedIn using the CFAA hacking-related law to reveal details about a privacy-related issue. Data scraping is not hacking.

  15. A very interesting article. But people fail to understand that there are other phone vendors besides Apple. Unless all of them remove the jack, then we have no problem. Apple has a problem. No user in his right mind would consider buying a jack-less iPhone. I bought my first phone just because of the integrated MP3/radio player, not the ability to make calls. That was secondary. I never heard anyone say anything good about Bluetooth transmissions. So let's see if Apple pulls it off, but I doubt it.

  16. France needs to shut up on France Says Fight Against Messaging Encryption Needs Worldwide Initiative (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    France needs to shut up and mind its business... like dealing with all those crazy ISIS people...

  17. Re:If i can trick you into installing an app on 900M Android Devices Vulnerable To New 'Quadrooter' Security Flaw (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Seeing that the app doesn't need special permissions, tricking the user is the easy part

  18. And that's how you lose an election on Donald Trump Signs Pledge To Crack Down On Internet Porn (pcworld.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm pretty sure he just lost the election right now...

  19. Re:Has anyone linked Paris attacks to bitcoins? on EU Plans To Create Database of Bitcoin Users With Identities and Wallet Addresses (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    EU used unconfirmed rumors in the beginning. It was cleared later that ISIS terrorists didn't use Bitcoin, but by that point the ball got rolling and nobody else cared.

  20. Re:So close on Apple Patches Stagefright-Like Bug In IOS (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Stagefright also works via images. The author is not wrong.

  21. Re:What's with the jingoistic nationalism? on Chinese Consortium's $1.24B Bid To Acquire Opera Software Fails, $600M Deal Agreed Instead (tech.eu) · · Score: 1

    Who said the US is the good guy?

  22. Don't censor the people that insult gay people that aren't really gay!

  23. old news on China Tells App Developers To Increase User Monitoring · · Score: 1

    pretty late /. in the meantime the hacker has put up for sale another dataset of 9.3 million records

  24. This is the third time this year... they should just pull the plug and get it over with
