We have a Fibre network that work... ;-)

And it's the difference between helping your uncle, Jack, off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

It should read: "Sony learns about Streisand effect the hard way" ;-)

Say with with me: "RAID is not backup!"

Why not just say 10.5 Ton? :p

Here is a link to the blog post on this, with much better info that the link in the story:

Speaking as an outsider looking in, and based on the stories that frequently seem to come out of the US, or at least certain parts there of (creationism, global warming deniers, etc) how about treating science as a science first? :P

Sure, but is it Web scale?

I'd +1 you if I could - completely true. The whole antivaxxer movement is the epitome of pseudoscience, in the worst possible way.

Because if so then I sort of admire the guy, because that is some EPIC level trolling he's managed to pull off:

I've only seen one clip of the show, but I kid you not it was some of the dumbest "hollywood take on tech" shit I have ever seen. Something to do with having to download some software from the onboard computer of a commercial airplane and the best way to do it was... DANGLE a goddamn ethernet cable down from the airplane mid-flight to the protagonists in their fast car so they can plug it into their laptop and download the required software.

Perhaps I just need to get used to them, but the "better looking fonts" on windows don't actually look better to me, they look worse. I'm not really sure what it is, but there definitely seems to be something slightly off about them.

How on earth do you figure this is a "blow" in the console war? Are you suggest that Microsoft was somehow behind this? Or is everything that gets reported on and is related to Playstation\Xbox now some sort of insidious plot to discredit one or the other console?

In reality it sounds like pure incompetence at Sony (and the same in the story you link about Microsoft) and I think when many people are affected by this sort of thing it's fair enough that it's covered on tech sites. It doesn't have to be part of some 'console war' that you parenthesize with apparent disdain while at the same time perpetuating the idea.

If you're sitting there thinking "This is nonsense; my team has no idiot" then it's most likely you.

That flat blocky thing doesn't look like a seaworthy ship it looks like an overpriced houseboat, perfect for mooring in the San Francisco Bay, or, perhaps, the Mediterranean. It seems like another example of Steve Jobs letting aesthetics (ugly aesthetics, in this case) take precedence over function.

I really wish I had some mod points for you.
