"Apple released iOS 7.0.6 to patch a vulnerability which, if unpatched, could allow attackers to capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS. However, quite a few users have reported that the upgrade didn't go as planned and their iDevices have been bricked after the update or during the update process. Users have flocked to Twitter as well as Apple support forums voicing their concerns and frustrations as quite a few users have tried updating their iOS 7 devices while on the move and once bricked, their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch requires a connection to iTunes to restart."

    Maybe it was just a fluke, but I got a 508 error the first time I tried to load the link. It warms the cockles of my heart to think we might be in the midst of our first "SoylentNewsing" of somebody's server. Doesn't quite roll off the tongue the same way though.

    I think the term "soyled" has become the correct terminology.

    I believe [correct me if I am wrong] that we have settled on the term "Soyled".

    Example:
    A: "Did you see that link to the Apple story on SoylentNews today?"
    B: "Nope?"
    A: "The server soyled itself under the load."
