Dropping like a bomb on some of the blah musical offerings of her contemporaries, Haunted was one of the best albums of 2000, obliterating the competition.

DVLabs Includes iPhone in Hacking Contest
Friday, February 27th, 2009 at 10:06 AM - by Jeff Gamet
Apple's iPhone 3G will be going on the firing line along with several other smartphones in DVLab's third annual Pwn2Own contest at the CanSecWest Security Conference. Contestants will be competing to be the first to remotely hack into and gain control of the iPhone or Android, Windows Mobile and Symbian devices for a US$10,000 jackpot.
DVLabs is part of the security company TippingPoint. Terri Forslof, the company's manager of security response, said that the hacker's attacks will be limited to "attacks that can be exploited via e-mail, SMS text, Web site browsing, and other general actions a normal user would take while using the device."
Just as in previous Pwn2Own contests, contestants will also be able to test their skills against a MacBook and a Sony Vaio. Attackers can try to remotely work their way into the MacBook through the Safari and Firefox Web browsers. The Sony Vaio will be running Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8, Firefox and Chrome.
Mr. Forslof added "As usual, the ZDI will purchase all winning vulnerabilities that are submitted against these targets, hand them over to the affected vendors, and coordinate public disclosure."
