My, what a "honor", to be the FIRST laptop to tumble in a security
contest, and in only a few seconds of work. But that doesn't stop
macintards from worshiping Jobs and his prized monoliths. After all,
macs still have great curves, funky colors, and windows that go swoosh.

(p. s. may I suggest next time the Mac team decorate their PC with a
pretty dress, to make its security HOLES look sexier. ROAFL!)

I've done enough reading about the rules of this competition.

Sounds more like the guy and his team had researched/discovered a
potential security vunerability, held back, and waited for this
contest before revealing it. I'm pretty sure nobody could come up
with such a security exploit within two minutes. I read somewhere
that IE currently has multiple unpatched security holes waiting for
the next update, and that there's a trade in these vulnerabilities
among hackers, identity thieves, etc. Here's a quote from the winner:

If what you say is true, why did it take thrre days to crack the WINDOWS
box?
