Jon Gruber had a pretty good write up on this: " But if the old agreement between Apple and Google expired in the first half of 2013 (which, again, my own sources familiar with the matter agree to be the case), that means the deal was set t

A good article on security and XSS, but the conclusion is a little disappointing. The headline makes it seem like the author knew why Billabong got hacked, so the whole time I was reading, I was waiting for the big reveal. But then when it
