I'm pretty sure Mr. Ponder had you beat on that one... I believe he posted an article about it a couple of hours ago...

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to workout who is responsible for this...

I know it plays on an iPhone and I gaurentee my Blackberry tablet would play it. This is probably my biggest gripe with this platform, Microsoft really needs to step up it's browser compatibility.

It's been up'd... the internet hasn't caught up yet.

Just click on the YouTube link in the video and it will direct you to mobile YouTube. Play from there.

The flaw can be exploited when a Facebook chat message or Windows Live Messenger message is sent to someone as well. Apparently, the flaw can even be exploited if a user has a friend on Facebook pinned to a live tile and that friend posts a message. That Facebook message can trigger the exploit.

Unpin all the people!
