People pay to host things on AWS. PSN is a free service. They shut down PSN because of the data breach. Their screwup was in allowing customer data to be stolen, not in closing the network down.

Do you honestly think they would ask him? Why would they? Is he an expert on server side security even? The security vulnerabilities that were exploited for the PSN hack have almost nothing to do with his realm of knowledge. What will a

And what positive outcomes have come of Geohotz' work? Geohotz worked exclusively to enable piracy! Sorry, but it's true! Sony removed the Other OS install option because of Gehotz' work towards enabling piracy! Read his wikipedia e

You're not addressing the issue of ethics in any way. What he did enabled theft. Theft is unethical. He enabled theft, so he is unethical. Want open hardware? Don't buy closed hardware. Don't want companies to close their hardware? Do

Yes, Steevdave, I'm with you on that! I agree that it is unfortunate that Sony removed the install Linux option. But why did they remove that? Why did they add it in the first place? They added it because they knew that the PS3 could be

This is not actually a question of the law, but of ethics. Geohotz did not break any Federal law in doing what he did. If you know that providing something (the root key to the PS3) will enable massive piracy, should you do it? Here is h

The Kinect hacks consisted of using the Kinect device for reasons other than originally intended. No laws were broken. The intent is basically pure. The hackers (because they are real hackers) just asked themselves "what else can we do wi

I wish an outsider would write a blog about these bizarre worlds (the IBM mainframe and the all .Net stack guys). As a guy that rarely ever touches any MS products, it would be really freakish and odd.

Having disabled webgl due to security vulnerabilities, I can't actually see this in FF4. Can someone describe it for me? Is it pretty? Hey, remember when we all thought that HTML5 and emerging technologies like webgl would be so cool and s

Ah, that stinks. That kind of inconsistency is very annoying. So you can't even have a link to your web based store (that's all that the kindle app really has now) in the application any more?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't they do what Amazon does and just redirect the user to Safari for purchasing books? I suppose that's a very small inconvenience compared to iBooks' direct purchase, but I find it worth the tradeoff to

As a bonus, you get a camera with far higher image quality and better ergonomics than a Flip cam.

I don't understand why they're bringing the traveling salesman problem into this at all. The core problem Uber has to solve is simply to get one driver (of many) to the customer as fast as possible, not to determine the most efficient rout

I completely agree with you about 3D. I despise it. The Maxivision goal was a noble one, but it was just too expensive to work. Increasing the framerate of content playback on digital projectors will be a far less costly initiative than t

"It messed up the depth of field." Absolutely preposterous. Depth of field is a function of lens focal length, aperture, and sensor size. There is no way that Samsung's TV could in any way effect the depth of field of the original recordi

That Maxivision sample there is for prints, not for capture. If you were to take a look at a super 35 original negative shot at 24 fps, it would look pretty much like the Maxivision print there (no waste, but half as many frames). So it w

Facebook initially had many important distinctions from Myspace--exclusivity, better privacy control, and no potential for flashing neon design abortions. The first two are gone now, so I think you're pretty much right. I do wonder if it w

In what way is it equally inexpensive to shoot twice as much film and use twice as much film to make every print? Digital tech is what's going to make high framerate capture and playback economical.

CSSHX + sudo su is cruise control for cool.

I use csshx, and I highly recommend it. One annoyance is that on password entry screens it occasionally does not show the password prompt. But generally speaking it's a great utility.

I put the beginning of the march at the end of the NES era, when third party developers that were disgusted with Nintendo's greedy, hamfisted approach to licensing fled in droves to Genesis/Megadrive and PC-Engine. Sales held up reasonably

I can't really disagree with your points there, because they are not irrelevant yet, certainly not to consumers. If you are a producer of third party software, they are rapidly becoming irrelevant despite the huge install base. Perhaps th

A lot of titles that are now considered classics were initially released without that seal of approval because the publishers didn't want to pay Nintendo's licensing fees. Check out the Nintendo v. Tengen case: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik

I don't think keeping shovelware out is a valid explanation for this blanket rule. Apple's ToS have quite a few provisions that could be used to exclude a large amount of shovelware from the app store, but they tend to be rather lax on enf
