SCientific American Blog claims Apple has pulled out of a scheduled presentation at this week's Black Hat convention—PING!

I don't think that is what happened.

Thanks to Leonard210 for the heads up.

Mac Black Hat Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Apple had set unusual conditions for speaking at the event: They wouldn't have to answer questions from the audience.

Sounds like the standard liberal tactic being used from anyone from Hilary Clinton; Nancy Pelosi; Barack Obama to people like Jesse Jackson and now Apple. They don't want to answer questions from an audience probably smarter than most of their engineers at Apple, but they snidely want to introduce the hackers to their Security Experts. I'm syre they see right through that BS and Apple probably pissed off the wrong people with this one.
