So, the threat is to expose private and sensitive data retrieved in the hack when The Interview is leaked? Who says The Interview wasn't obtained during the hack, and will be leaked by the same party issuing the threat?

I can't help it, but my eyes are filtering out the contents of the pdf like my eyes do with online ads and spam emails. It looks too much like a poorly designed manifesto filled with out of context quotes, just after your money.

Dutch here. Everybody has to pay if you work. This goes for pensions, this goes for healthcare, this goes for social security. It only works if everybody who works, contributes. I do however find it strange that he's not entitled to a

My biggest takeaway from china is that people are generally ambitious. There's a vibe of wanting to achieve something, and the discipline to achieve it. Most of the people in the city are young (below 30). I can confirm on the visa par

I didn't realize it was a conference in which about 25000 people participate. Then losing 100 experts all of a sudden sounds much less critical to the research field than the article suggests.

Wait a minute, - Why are 100 HIV experts on the same plane in the first place? Hasn't somebody realized this is a risk and usually considered 'a bad idea'? - Why are they all flying across the entire world (Amsterdam-Melbourn

Moore's law. You can get a twice as powerful device in two years time. Also, who knows what the smartphone world will look like in two years time. Reverse the question: Why don't manufacturer only support it for 6 months, or until

Alcohol industry not interested? Transform it in a startup, buy rights to produce some sort of existing brand and show them otherwise. If it catches on, good for you. If it doesn't, apparently it wasn't a good idea. Complaining ab

Really nice idea, and a good step forward. I was wondering, if this truly is an 'international' package deal, does this also mean it will be available 'internationally' at the start, instead of just the US?
