If only it were so easy to root a Kindle...

Amazon should follow Apple's lead.

Apparently, if you want to root a Mac, ... you ... type ... "root"

There's a bug in Apple's most recent operating system

There's a flaw in Apple's newest computer operating system that allows someone to gain administrative capabilities without a password.

The flaw, discovered by developer Lemi Orhan Ergan and his colleagues, affects macOS High Sierra. To exploit the vulnerability, someone with access to the computer can type "root" and no password...
You'd think as part of initially setting up the OS, you'd be prompted to set a root password.
