It's not that they might not be looking for the flaws, just that they don't want others to know about them. Smart malware writers work on a different system, communicating and testing on their target platform. This ensures the malware does not infect the development platform.
Which reminds me of someone who wrote a virus and accidentally infected themselves.
That part about books is about to change. It's been in the news recently, and is why Sony's ebook app was denied. It is uncertain if Amazon is going to have to change, but chances are likely they will.
Because they use Linux and hide behind it. To expose its flaws would be to expose flaws in their defenses. At least, that's one way I've envisioned it.
Windows is still the largest install base as well. For whatever reason OSX goes down quicker at Pwn2Own.
That's pretty good except for the recent parts about Apple forcing prices on companies, which has a wider reach than just their devices. What Apple has said is that you can have books available for purchase on their device but the prices have to be the same if they are also available outside the device.
I think part of the difference is that much of the things that happened with the church were the work of individuals. However, the church entity did try to conceal the abuses.
Contrast that with the CoS who has organized the abuses at the hands of several members.
I could be wrong about the churches. Any thoughts?
There are free VM images of Windows with various versions of IE in them. They are time locked so that they cannot be used perpetually, but they are perfect for testing site compatibility.
You can jailbreak the phone without knowing the unlock pin code. This means any iPhone you have physical access to can be jailbroken and have its passwords stolen.
I didn't RTFA, but I know the summary is inaccurate. I saw some other posts about others with Linksys routers with IPv6 and am here to tell you I am one too. I have a WRT610N and have been on IPv6 in the home for a couple years. Comcast turned on the IPv6 for me recently too.
Perhaps they were so used to lousy data service and dropped calls that they didn't notice the death grip? Apple giving away a bunch of phone protectors probably also helped.
GeoHot was originally trying to get GPU access in Linux for OtherOS. He happened upon a hole that allowed it and other stuff. Sony removes OtherOS and hackers line up to break it even more.

I believe there is a fee to use certain Google apps, such as navigation.
It'd only be idiot proof until they make them even louder, thus maxing the 24bits. :/
The new rules take effect for old apps in June, not now. Old apps that don't follow the rules will likely be pulled.
Cult of Steve has said exactly that. Your prices for iOS must be the same or lesser than the alternatives.
No. The Android walled garden can only be broken by the user. It is a conscious decision that requires modifying the settings.
In 2009 Bill Gates had 8% of MS stock, which was 725 million shares. At the time it was worth almost $17 billion.

The source of the stockholders is actually inaccurate. He's not a top holder (only worth a million or so, MS worth billions).

On Android there's Google Books, Kindle, Nook for Android, Sony Reader (the one denied by Apple), and plenty of others.

FOSS projects have the same mentality sometimes. I sometimes come across bugs that are marked WNF by the project maintainers.

The problem here is Apple blocked access to that stuff from the browser. It doesn't matter what the OS allows if the browser is going to block it.

They already fixed it according to the summary, so where's the story? Operating system updated, breaks software. Software gets updated.

And yet that has not mattered to most of the XNA devs.
No more than Chrome already does for Google.
That would be fine if there wasn't a bunch of hardware out there with dedicated h264 support and no WebM support.
