Respect she has the balls to speak infront of so many people, but all she did was forwarding a clock or am I misreading something here?

Yeah, not really a hack.. another misuse of the "hacker" descriptor applied to simple feats that anyone could do.

It's easy to say that once things come to light because then you can see how it was done - but she is a 10 year old hero because she discovered something really cool because she was super clever and uncovered something no one else had

She wanted her games to grow and she got tired of waiting so she figured out a way to make them grow

She has helped out the gaming industry a ton by bringing this to light - now they can build better faster games

Ehhh, it has been discovered before and used for cracking other software/games. Only difference is that this story is focused on mobile devices. And she was so interested in helping the software companies that she waited 6 months to reveal it. Sure, I'll credit the thinking outside of the box, but that's it.
