Charging face first into the world of “Different Ethical Questions” $Goog stumbled across 11 zero days targeting terrorists and nuked them from orbit! The 0days that is; sure would suck if that IED phone stopped working.

@PwnieAwards Where did you get your judges? Did you ask the NSA, CIA and DEA to send their best spin doctors? You just awarded yourself the lamest pwn in the known history of astroturfed hacking and security conferences. What did you get in return? Your very own clipper-chipped secure modem?
