| Quote: | The security researcher who walked away with $10,000 yesterday by hacking a MacBook Air in less than two minutes said he chose to attack Apple Inc.'s operating system for one simple reason.
"It was the easiest one of the three," said Charlie Miller, an analyst at Independent Security Evaluators (ISE), a Baltimore-based security consultancy. "We wanted to spend as little time as possible coming up with an exploit, so we picked Mac OS X." |

The three OS they had to choose from were Vista Ultimate SP1, Ubuntu and OSX 10.5.2.

| Is it co-incidence that the user also gets the PC they hacked? One could argue that no one wanted to own the Windows or Linux PC... |
