"You are gravely mistaken if you take hackers as downright nerds. Actually some of our favourite and insanely popular iOS hackers and jailbreakers were spotted at DEF CON 19 in Las Vegas. Doesn’t make sense for a couple of nerds to be hanging out in Sin City, does it? As we said, don’t ever take a hacker for a nerd."

Uhhh, what? I don't think showing up in Las Vegas is some kind of magical badge of anti-nerdness. Especially you, long-blonde-hair.

In other news, the overloading of the word "Hacker" makes headlines like this very hard to interpret without reading the article.

Thanks for spamming HN with this (your?) blog, by the way. Your submission history says it all.

It's remarkable how little was said in the blog post.

This blog is nothing but link bait. The article has no substance, but manages to include "DEF CON" 13 times in 250 words.

Wish I could down vote.
