Apple Mac Air Gets hacked in under 2 min!

This year, the PWN 2 OWN hacking competition at CanSecWest was over nearly as quickly as the second day started. Apparently Charlie Miller (iPhone hacking fame) visited a website which contained his exploit code, which then allowed him to seize control of the computer, as about 20 onlookers [read: unashamed nerds] cheered him on. Of note, contestants could only use software that came pre-loaded on the OS, so obviously it was Safari that fell victim here.

Mr. Miller was awarded $10,000 and the free Mac Air.

Place where girl, 12, danced can’t be closed under city ordinance

The mere fact that a 12-year-old girl danced nude at a northwest Dallas strip club isn’t enough to close its doors.

That’s because the city ordinance that regulates sexually oriented businesses does not allow authorities to revoke the license of such a business for employing someone under the age of 18.

Chrono Trigger Return

The guys on Wall Street think they know it all when it comes to stocks and portfolios. But did they know that if they had invested in Chrono Trigger in 1995 and sold it today unopened, they would have made a rate of return of 26% annually?! If you know of any investment that gives you 26% return annually, then you would be crazy not to consider it. Even Apple and Microsoft stock have not yielded this much return. So much for Wall Street eh? Read more »
