The most obvious one was a persistent (and wild) XSS vuln on yahoo mail accounts that seemingly couldn't be fixed in 2012, 2013, and some argue it's still present in 2015.

I don't see what you're seeing. There are lights surrounding the landing pad. Are you talking about those?

I'm really not too sure why you're being downvoted. I think there are a number of people who agree that outing him isn't necessary or valuable. A man trying not to be in the public eye deserves as much.

It's possible -- and I know this is a stretch -- but it's possible that good people can occasionally do something good for all of us, something that's good for society and feeds back, at best, only indirectly to the self. Ma

Precisely my sentiment as well. It's possible that the articles on this site give a narrow view of what's happening there, but I doubt it. I can't help but feel as if I forever missed the opportunity to live as an adult in th

In high frequency focused ultrasound therapy, transient cavitation occurs in the kW/m^2 range, which is associated with tissue heating and damage. This is useful for various surgical techniques and tumor ablation. For instance, it ta

What's amazing about this telemetry issue and the forced upgrade path is that, at the same time, they're trying to fight the PR problem by claiming that they might soon have a more reasonable FOSS (or at least OSS) mentality, will

Anecdotally, there are cartels of authors that fail to be sufficiently critical in the literature. This is undisputed. However, quite a large (sometime overwhelming) amount of criticism and scientific conflict operates in the daily practi

This is completely illogical and tinfoily. If an intelligence outfit knows something, it's unwise to show their cards. It reveals sources and methods to do so. Nobody operates this way.

The hype is just out of control on this. It's a new tool in the lab that is of some use, but none of these other fantastical claims are anywhere near the real world, and they may never be. This method suffers the same risks as viral th
