That ruins the service for the rest of us. The phrase "this is why we can't have anything nice" applies perfectly to this post and comment.

- jacquesm 13y agoMaybe we should re-brand the service we're posting this on to 'ConsumerNews' then?

- MichaelApproved 13y agoHacking does not have to equal abusing. I could advocate for fair use of a service and still hack it.
- jacquesm 13y agoWhat's your position on Daeken's hack of the hotel room locks then?
- MichaelApproved 13y agoIIRC, he was responsible about the hole by telling the company first and trying to work with them to get it fixed. He released the info after they were unresponsive. I think that's proper way to handle that. But this thing with Yahoo isn't really the same. One is a security breach while the other is trying to abuse a service. I like hacks and fun experiments. The idea of putting extra content in pictures is interesting but OP was talking about setting up a system around it to put it into wide spread use.
- supergauntlet 13y agoYeah, on the one hand this sort of thing seems like a fun project, but on the other hand it's incredibly exploitive.
- belorn 13y agoWhile I understand what you are saying, it does imply that people should not try to experiment or think of new usages because "it will ruin it for everyone else".
