I noticed this quote in your link:

"Before I could even pull my camera out, it was over within 2 minutes-and
Charlie (coincidentally also last year's first winner of the day) is now the
proud owner of yet another MacBook, and $5,000 from the Zero Day
Initiative."

Actually, it didn't take nearly that long. According to ComputerWorld:
"Charlie Miller, a security researcher who hacked a Macintosh in two minutes
last year at CanSecWest's PWN2OWN contest, improved his time today by
breaking into another Macintosh in under 10 seconds." After that, Miller
said, "I did a few things to show that I had full control of the Mac."
 
(I await my education as to why none of this matters, which I assume will be
forthcoming shortly.)
