I like how when Apple seem to have a major security hole, and frankly this is major considering any idiot can get into an iPhone using it, everyones compeltly fine with it, however when M$ have a security loop hole that say only a person with hacking skill can get through and exploit, everyone goes crazy and calls the M$ OS useless and full of security loop holes.

Now any idiot can hack into ur overprice brick, well done Apple!

you have to be physically holding the device in order for this to work. i think its an override in case you forgot your password or something. i mean look at the button combo it was purposely left there.
