Borked browser baked into Nintendo Switch A couple of console enthusiasts have run up a proof-of-concept showing a Nintendo's new games machine, the "Switch", being p0wned thanks to an old Webkit vulnerability. When CVE-2016-4657 emerged last year, it was used to jailbreak iOS before version 9.3.5. The Switch has a built-in browser that carries the vuln, and as …
When it's your beloved Apple, then the webkit vulnerability was a gift that gave the world a lovely nice jailbreak, and just bury the nasty malware aspect of it (Pegasus). When it's Android, it's the exact opposite reporting style, going for the tired and predictable malware angle.
Some consistency please, otherwise you will continue to look like brain-dead fanboys trying (and failing) to be professional tech journalist
that might be true on the whole, but individual bloggers (they are not worthy of the word journalists) clearly have (not so) hidden agendas and product/brand loyalty.
So either there is a create clickbait message from above, brown envelopes or free stuff, or it really is just plain biased writing.

As I found yesterday as it was dark so could not see the handholds for climbing, I was trying to grab a Banuk statue but I could not see the hand holds, so I looked it up and found where they were, ran over to the post and climbed up.
Also used to check that I was going the right way for a power cell
Nintendo have already announced there will be downloadable expansion packs to some games.
If you don't have a web browser, how can they make a pretty interface to encourage you to spend the cash? Silly.
Also Netflix will be available on the switch which is pretty cool since it's got quite a nice screen (720p but only 6.2").
Could be worse, they could have tried putting a decent screen on the console which would have meant they actually needed to put decent hardware inside it so that it would work.
720p @30 fps is poor.
Being able to scratch the screen on the harder plastic inside the dock is pretty tragic too.
@jeremy 3 - when was it a prerequisite to have a web-browser to make the pretty "buy me buy me" interface? okay, the web browser isn't a fully fleshed out one, but come on; it's a mere distraction to the primary purpose of the device... gaming.
who wants another tablet?
