Windows RT Jailbroken To Run Third-Party Desktop Apps 178
An anonymous reader writes "We all knew it was just a matter of time, now it looks like Windows RT has been Jailbroken. From the article: 'The hack, performed by Clokr, exploits a vulnerability in the Windows kernel that has existed for a long time — since before Microsoft ported Windows from x86 to ARM, in fact. Basically, the Windows kernel on your computer is configured to only execute files that meet a certain level of authentication. There are four levels: Unsigned (0), Authenticode (4), Microsoft (8), and Windows (12). On your x86 Windows system, the default setting is Unsigned — you can run anything you like. With Windows RT, the default, hard-coded setting is Microsoft (8); i.e. only apps signed by Microsoft, or parts of Windows itself, can be executed.'"

"Need" implies there are people using it, which is a conclusion we might want to take off our mat for the time being.

Good news, the Surface will never "brick".
(It will just become a more literal interpretation of the word "tablet")

Dude, this stupid meme is getting fucking old. Just quit, it's not funny anymore. I know for a fact there is at least double the amount you quote that are using it.
