There's also the point that anything can harm you accidentally -- Paper cuts anybody? How about toothpicks?

Anything can be turned into a weapon too. A pencil... a Pen... a rock, a stick... I'd have to try real hard with a toothpick... less so with it's larger cousin Clue by Four...

There comes a point where it becomes absurd to try and legislate things away... Don't make something fool proof... cause a bigger fool will always come along.

@penguinwrangler That isnt true. In America, you can buy a gun anywhere at any time. California has just as many guns as Texas. the higher crime rate(if that is even true, i doubt it) is likely due to higher poverty rate.

Yep... sounds about right... at this point they have determined that being hacked in this fashion is acceptable for the organization.

Apparently it was never broken...

“To be clear, this is not a vulnerability or bug in Apple’s code... basically just unclear/confusing documentation that led to people using their API incorrectly,” Wardle told Ars. “Apple updated [its] documents to be more clear, and third-party developers just have to invoke the API with a more comprehensive flag (that was always available).”
