The Homebrew Channel is back on the Wii, thanks to an exploited flaw in the newest system update. The October 23rd system update shut down a previous installment of the service, but they persevered and once again find themselves thriving. They’ve even tossed in SDHC support this time around. All of you homebrew enthusiasts should get to it before the next system update arrives and ruins all of their hard work.

Princeton researchers spent a lot of time with the Sequoia e-voting machine and things don’t look pretty for the future of America. They released a 158 page report detailing just how easy it is to hack into it. A researcher was able to bypass the security mechanisms in thirteen seconds. This, also, was with the device located inside of the standard-issue lockbox. Thirteen seconds.I yawn longer than that.

Also, once hacked, it’s easy to transfer malicious code to other units as they are all networked together. Well, look on the bright side. Now I’ll finally be able to get ALF elected to congress. I’ve been dreaming of that since elementary school. Ha! I kill me!

Here is a link to the report.
