HP Corners the Market on Hackers

I thought this was a pretty funny quote from this article.

Nine out of the world’s top 11 security hackers came to HP through the SPI Dynamics acquisition, he boasts, although it’s not immediately clear who ranked those top 11.

The “he” is Mark Potts CTO of Software, Hewlett-Packard. When I read that the first thing that came to mind was; Billy Hoffman is top 10 material? The end is near!! (joking…) Then I wondered who is ranking hackers and how much would it cost to get the #1 spot. Then later I thought there must be a real ranking because if you where making it up you would just say “nine out of the top ten, not 9 out of the top 11″ which would generally mean you had 8 of the top ten and one person at eleven so you went for Top eleven instead of top ten. Maybe people from Australia use a top 11 system?
