eBay pulls vulnerability auction

Online auction giant eBay shut down the bidding for a vulnerability in Microsoft's Excel spreadsheet program on Thursday, saying that the sale of flaw research violates the site's policy against encouraging illegal activity.

0.01$ , and that's all Microsoft products worth!!

The guy is so funny!!Yes that's correct.That's all

it worth.

This giant will crush some day that's for sure.

I don't know why it takes them so long to respond

to a vuln report?What does Billy tell them?

"Hey boss , these worthless hackers have found

another way in our super-duper operating system!

What?!Really?Let them break a few hundred

thousand machines and then we'll release a fix."

Why do you people still use his 300$ crap?

There are so many powerfull systems out there

starting with Linux and ending with the IMHO

the most powerfull there is OpenBSD, but some

of you choose M$ crap for 300$.

There are no apps for Linux or OpenBSD..

There are so many tools since the last time

you've looked , you won't believe your eyes.

And yes there is a spreadsheet program for

all of the above and you know what?

There are some guys out there like Torvalds

and De Raadt that struggle every day with

thousands of lines of code just to spare you

those 300$ and they don't want anything in

exchange , just your "Thank you " but you

have to go on Billy's side.

Choose wisely my friends...
