Maybe we should re-brand the service we're posting this on to 'ConsumerNews' then?

Hacking does not have to equal abusing. I could advocate for fair use of a service and still hack it.

What's your position on Daeken's hack of the hotel room locks then?

IIRC, he was responsible about the hole by telling the company first and trying to work with them to get it fixed. He released the info after they were unresponsive. I think that's proper way to handle that.

But this thing with Yahoo isn't really the same. One is a security breach while the other is trying to abuse a service.

I like hacks and fun experiments. The idea of putting extra content in pictures is interesting but OP was talking about setting up a system around it to put it into wide spread use.
