According to the enclosed report, youth as young as 11 are using their coding skills to hack online gaming / Social Networking sites (in order to steal data and virtual cash from their ‘friends?’) As the saying goes… “With friends like that…”

(Im)possible…

Earth to Redmond… less than 4% of the overall Tablet Marketshare is an embarrassment (aside from an indication of a failed strategy!)
