Israel attacks Palestine by building settlements, Palestine attacks Israel by firing rockets. Same old thing, different day.
I guess we'll see if the Muslim Brotherhood survives this power grab. I think they've overreached, but we'll know for sure in a few days or weeks.
The peddling of computer vulnerabilities to illicit sources is unfortunate, but not unexpected. This is a natural result of the attitude that "anything that makes a profit is fine" and "business should not be constrained by ethics or morals". I disliked the system of detecting vulnerabilities when it came about, was fairly vocal about this potential problem, and was shouted down because everyone had "faith" in the people doing the work. I've got a lot of faith myself, faith that people very rarely leave any money on the table if they see no downside to taking it all. Now that these companies have established reputations as being effective at finding vulnerabilities, they don't need the reputation of being "ethical".
