You didn’t answer in #48. You haven’t quoted Apple saying anything of the sort. Rather, you are relying on the PC Magazine author to be accurate in his characterization of official Apple responses to Maynor.
His hack was the same event I mentioned in my previous post, isn’t it? After many hours and many failures, they changed the rules of the challenge in order to break into the MacBook Pro, right? And the exploit did require user intervention to trigger it, right?

I was referring to MAYONR’s bug, the wifi driver issue. Not the Quicktime issue discovered by Dino Dai Zovi.
