  not really "hacked"

  VLC's code was simply changed a little bit and it can actually be found at code.google.com. To say he hacked the code it a little excessive considering all he did was delete the additions google made to VLC's source code. This was just an overhyped article written to make google look bad because they just got owned by some dude. This was probably the easiest "hack" DVD Jon has ever done...
  
  Not really that exciting.

  Re: not really hacked

  Man. People get pissed off at me for using "hacked" only to mean breaking in, rather than tinkering with. So, now, when I use it in that way, other people get upset with me. :) I guess I can't win.

  Re: not really hacked

  I wasn't saying there was anything wrong with you using the term hacked. It was the term used in all the articles floating around. If anything, I was criticizing the main stream media for their use of the term and overhyping yet again.
