A piece of the pi!

[karl]

Google is so confident in security on the company's Chrome operating system its offering $3.14159 in cash rewards for successful hacks of the system at this year's Pwnium hacking contest.
The figure is a nod to pi, an irrational number that has intrigued mathematicians for thousands of years.
Previously the tech giant has offered reward of $1 million and $2 million to crack its systems.


The amount it seems should read $3.14159 million

Maybe if they wanted people to stop hacking it they should stop offering a reward for it :P

Actually, it makes sense for google to want to be hacked under controlled conditions, once it's been done once they can close that security loophole and the software would become stronger.

Wow, cocky.

Well this is it. This is the strangest news story I have heard today. Just wow.

i'll try. i'll go there and just break into their headquarters and say i hacked it :P

[Jess]

Well that's interesting...

[TheMatrix]

Makes sense. Google's not the only one who does this.
Pretty much any software is tested for security(be making attempts to break into it under controlled conditions), although that usually happens within a company as opposed to the world.

$3.14159? Hardly seems worth it.
