Excuse me. I think my testosterone's going up this happens every time I start working out a lot again and I uhhh swam two miles this morning pretty hard and uhhh ate a big fat steak last night that's full of hormones and testosterone on it's own right. Sooo I'm going a little bit wild today.

Yeah no doubt it needs to be looked into, Can't go reaching with no eyes.

I can't say that this being possible surprises me at all, but without doubt this needs to be looked at by either the software-related plane guys or someone alike (A professional name for someone like that eludes me).

Technology (soft & hard-ware) are forever ongoing, progressing and changing - there will be more and more stories of similar things being controlled with tablets. I recall watching various videos on automatic doors on shops being "hacked" or whatever you call it, those televised-billboards being adapted, all from a tablet, some even a smart phone.

All I'm gonna say is Watch_Dogs.

Are you referring to the video where the Chinese guy uses his iPhone (with a little board attached) to "hack" the billboard screen things? I believe that was just some clever video editing mate. Those things are hard wired and not updated (or whatever) wirelessly, making such a device impossible?

Chris.

It would be a bit harder but not impossible. You could connect the board to a wireless/mobile adapter and there you go, now it's connected to the wide web.
