The two things I noticed were that 1) The user of the device is named "IAmAdmin", implying that they have admin rights, and 2) The "integrity" of chrome.exe is changed from Low to Medium at somepoint during the attack. Could this somehow be related to breaking out of the sandbox?

I couldn't agree more. But I think 8 belongs near the top. I am currently helping re-condition experienced mainframe developers into web developers, and I can't stress enough the importance of tools. Understanding the browser, HTTP request and response, cookies, web security, and the OSI model is crucial.

The way the new design constrains the user is what bothers me most. Having a page that scrolls off the screen makes the content seem much more "deep" than it really is. I think they chose this design to appease the tablet crowd.

I would expect that most Facebook users won't friend random people just because of shared interests. The public nature of Twitter is more strongly suited at finding people with similar interests. Suppose I want to find somebody with an interest in the Android operating system. On twitter, I can search for Android and see who's tweets look most intriguing.

actually, a credit default swap is not insurance at all. thats how we got into the whole sub-prime crisis of 2008.

Part of me thinks the the same math geniuses that invented the credit default swap financial derivatives figured out an even better way to beat the market. All they had to do was get someone to fat finger an order for P&G.

Regardless of the truth to that theory, the article makes a great point. Does anyone know if only the NASDAQ is cancelling orders? What about the NYSE?
