Take THAT Mr Cool Mac Guy beat by a PC

Looks like Steve Jobs is going to have to reshoot a whole freaking bunch of Mac commercials after a Mac was hacked before a PC at a hackers’ contest:

It may be the quickest $10,000 Charlie Miller ever earned.

He took the first of three laptop computers — and a $10,000 cash prize — Thursday after breaking into a MacBook Air at the CanSecWest security conference's PWN 2 OWN hacking contest.

Show organizers offered a Sony Vaio, Fujitsu U810 and the MacBook as prizes, saying that they could be won by anybody at the show who could find a way to hack into each of them and read the contents of a file on the system, using a previously undisclosed "0day" attack.

Nobody was able to hack into the systems on the first day of the contest when contestants were only allowed to attack the computers over the network, but on Thursday the rules were relaxed so that attackers could direct contest organizers using the computers to do things like visit Web sites or open e-mail messages.

The contest rules allowed Miller and others only to attack computers based on pre-installed software, so the flaw is in vertically integrated Mac software.

This is soooooo fricking funny. I’m waiting to get flamed by Mac worshipers.
