This. As soon as data is fetched from the system (that is beyond what's required for the hack), you're headed square into darker territory. To be white hat, you find the vuln, alert the company to it, and that's that. There is no "no, really, here's a load of data I grabbed using it!". White hat is generally hired gun to hack for the good of the site/company, grey not hired, but hacks; black is for the lulz/profit.

Airplane Mode 15 years ago

Very respectful, and awesome closing off of the world temporarily.

Another 'use' I find - in areas where you know you'll have no signal. With the cell radios screaming to contact a station, drains the battery worse than more or less any other part (unless you have the display on 100% brightness as well as on all the time)

scarily, exactly what i was thinking of after seeing the tab. run a web server on the tab running in hotspot mode and you have document transfer.

Interestingly though, a casual browse through the Pre's software that Palm have so far put up shows it's using the webkit engine from Safari3.2. With the various iPhone hardware and software combos present, it gets a bit more interesting. The original 3G with the numerous js and render engine improvments keeping pace with the superior on the hardware front Pre. With firmware 2.2 (probably) using the same Safari 3.2 engine as the Pre, it gets a pasting from the hardware improvements.

...and there the page was gone (although I did get to view the comedy page). The possibility of getting $10k (american or austrailian?) to tempt people to use the newest deficient browser from microsoft.

Course, could just leverage opera's built in torrent functionality - sharing amongst opera users at least. Maybe somehow interoperable with Weave? Although I think that somewhat goes against Weaves point currently, being to keep your firefox installs on various machines in sync.
