They have hacked a number of companies in the past, including HBO and BuzzFeed, always just to let them know that they ought to improve their e-security. Very nice of them, but i wish they would save this effort for ...

When attempted in a normal fashion, Windows displays a somewhat hilarious message stating that the user does not have authorization to turn off this PC.

Either Microsoft will give in and release a free ...
