Hmmm ,,,

No bragging right for Chrome deserved …

The security researchers who signed up to crack Chrome either didn't show up or opted to focus exclusively on the mobile hacking contest to come.

i don't believe that for a second, where computer software is concerned, all it needs is to be written correctly with failsafe error checking, instead of taking the quick and easy route of just getting it to work as long as the right data is input in the first place or with minimal error checking.

love the links and the whole idea of getting experts out there to try and break the coding. :clap:
