    Blade of Grass
    _Rocket got a reaction from Blade of Grass in 65% of Web Servers vulernable, as well as ALL android users   
    The article is terrible, but at least the linked source provides some insight.
    I haven't seen it mentioned, but if this is the CVE-2014-9322 then it is a local privilege escalation, if you can be affected by that then you have more serious problems at that point, or maybe it can be useful for rooting android phones, i don't know... but i guess it makes for a good clickbait headline.

    _Rocket got a reaction from Vitalius in Pirate Bay cofounder says the site should stay down   
    “The Pirate Bay has been raided, again. That happened over 8 years ago last time. That time, a lot of people went out to protest and rally in the streets. Today few seem to care. And I’m one of them. The site was ugly, full of bugs, old code and old designs. It never changed except for one thing – the ads. More and more ads were filling the site, and somehow when it felt unimaginable to make these ads more distasteful, they somehow ended up even worse.”
    The former Pirate Bay spokesman is happy to see the site on its knees. After it was handed over to the new crew a few years ago the site lost its soul, he believes.
    “A planned retirement would have given the community time and a way to kick off something new, something better, something faster, something more reliable and with no chance of corrupting itself. Something that has a soul and can retain it,” Peter notes.
    “From the immense void that will now fill up the fiber cables all over the world, I’m pretty sure the next thing will pan out. And hopefully it has no ads for porn or viagra. There are already other services for that,” Peter concludes.

    _Rocket got a reaction from Johannes_Lazor in Google Contributor will let you pay a monthly fee to see select websites without ads   
    "Google is trying to shake up that model a bit with a new system it's calling Contributor. Instead of dealing with ads, those who use Contributor will donate between $1 and $3 a month to see Contributor partner sites without any advertising. That money goes to the participating sites, though it's not clear if Google is taking a cut — or if you'll need to donate that much per site you visit."
