Are you kidding? I once saw Song of the South running in YouTube on a hacked arcade console at Disneyland. The irony of that move was delicious. But the point is, it didn't seem hard for the hacker to find.
The difference here is that they hacked the most popular dongle that car modders use to send information to their smart phones. So this IS a remote hack of something the owner already has installed. But it's not GM that's at fault but some low-end company that makes ODB-II dongles.
With physical access to the car, I can literally take control of ANY car and then run it remotely. I can put plastic explosives under the dash and hook it up to the ignition wire. For the last 100 years. How is it a hack once you've had physical access? There are James Bond movies from the 60s with this as a plot point.
The irony is that if you read the Metro design document, Microsoft tells you to make sure that everything is discoverable. Show a value and make a click that allows you to set the range where that value sends an alert. Stuff like that. Make things discoverable at first glance.
They said this while simultaneously releasing Windows 8, where NOTHING is discoverable.
I've done 5-6 machines and all were successful. A 9" 1024x600 netbook, a Zenbook, 2 home built desktops and a MacBook Pro in Parallels. Only two had even one problem. My game machine had a conflict between HDMI drivers (both the motherboard and the video card have HDMI out) and Parallels needed to be upgraded to the latest version. That's it. All in all I've been very impressed.

You obviously haven't worked where I've worked. Even right now I am working on a project where they wrote their own mocking framework for IOC. They couldn't be bothered to wait for one to implement this AWESOME (TM) new idea (that as far as I can see does more harm than good).
I installed 4 PCs (one with beta) and 3 worked completely without incident. My gaming PC had a couple driver issues to sort out, but nothing major. Don't take an anecdote as common, because 14 million people had no problem installing it.
Isn't a contested patent that is found to be invalid "public domain" by definition?
And if the lawsuit failed because the company in question solved the problem in a different fashion, then why would the patent go into the public domain? It may still be valid.

And if you get sick, there's less money when their lawyers show all the data that you volunteered to give them.
But in this case they hacked a popular ODB-II dongle that many car modders already have installed.

Because Windows 7 is great. People want Windows 10 to be as close to perfect as possible.
Beans in an enclosed air system? You monster!
Like the scary car hack last week that required physical access to the OBD2 port first.

Or just type "[Windows key]Int". Oh, there it is. If you look in All Apps, it's there in Windows Accessories.

And deleting all the live tiles and shrinking the start menu was the first thing I did in Windows 10.
I've pinned my top 10 apps to the taskbar since Windows XP. And with searching in Windows 7, I've never needed anything else.

I upgraded my daughter's MacBook Pro in Parallels and it upgraded just fine, so apparently Parallels solved this some time ago.
Nope. Unfortunately the Supreme Court thought it was a good idea to let corporations be unaccountable to anyone.

You have to upgrade and then it registers your hardware signature with MS. Then you can clean install with the same hardware and it will remember you.
You can download it here whenever you like.
Well, it's a good thing 10 is really 8.2 then.
People forget that, but XP WASN'T a good OS at release. SP1 was virtually required.
I reported a lot of bugs and many/most of them got fixed. I also said I wanted "more Aero Glass" and they did that too.
> 4 stars...

They need to mix Half-Life 3 and Portal 3 with a great story. THAT would be an amazing game.
