Wilhoit had amazing composure in not bursting out laughing.<br /><br />Also, if Wilhoit had already opened the MBA box (to set it up back in the USA), shouldn't the box have been relatively easy to open?<br /><br />I'd like to see how Engel opens a pizza box.ftaokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187958369552120274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37798047.post-25700727939235843712014-02-07T04:54:33.787-05:002014-02-07T04:54:33.787-05:00Kudos on actually knowing what passive voice is. H...Kudos on actually knowing what passive voice is. However, you are still wrong on the motivation for it. Distribution of passive voice is governed by many factors, not just attribution of agency. One of these factors is how relevant the identification of the agent is and "was hacked" is one of those examples where the action (or rather its consequences) is much more relevant than the actor or the process. Other examples include "was found" and, most typically, "was fired". It is utterly irrelevant who did the firing, whether it was your manager or someone in HR, the only important thing is that you are now without a job. Same with "was hacked", perhaps doubly so, since most speakers of English have very little clue about the process of hacking.bulbulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14505565281151328789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37798047.post-43901197695925276812014-02-07T04:53:44.930-05:002014-02-07T04:53:44.930-05:00These details interested me:

BUT<br /><br />1) he took a PeeCee and a Mac, featured the Mac unboxing, and showed both computers, but he said that his computer (singular) was hacked in minutes, showing a PeeCee screen but never the Mac screen. The Expert said that "this computer in particular" (emphatic singular) was sending data to Russian servers. Then he said that both computers were hacked within 24 hours. The PeeCee in minutes, and both within 24 hours. Why wasn't the headline all about how much more quickly one type "got hacked" than the other?<br /><br />2) Did he forget to test the most popular and most talked-about electronic gadget on the planet? Or did the result of that test not fit his message? If he took a PeeCee and a Mac, surely he would have taken an Android and an iPhone. But we never saw or heard of an iPhone. Or, obvs, an iPhone getting hacked. Just the Samsung. And the headline idea was no device was safe.<br /><br />Conradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17547775453425171118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37798047.post-13946351153672244932014-02-07T01:03:21.854-05:002014-02-07T01:03:21.854-05:00Thank you.

He doesn't use 'my phone was hacked' because he is trying to be deceptive. He says it because he doesn't know any better.
