Oh, Sony... when will you learn?

There's been an online security breach for Sony Ericsson in Canada and Sony Music in Japan.

Man, this is getting to be 'kicking a semi-conscious older brother' pathetic.

If I believed in karma, I'd say they have it coming. Any company that refuses to hire the unemployed in an economy like this one has got to deserve some kind of ass-kicking.

I think it's more of a "Oh my, you seem to have pissed off the hacker community with your stance on the 'Install other OS' feature on the PS3."

(Short version, you used to be able to install any other OS (within certain limits) on the PS3. Most people who did this installed one flavour or another of Linux. But then a guy named George Hotz said "Imma hack the PS3", and did so. In response, Sony released a firmware update that removed the 'Install other OS' function from any PS3s that still had it. Then they sued his ass.)

Gee, you mean people don't like it when corporations tell them how to play with the costly toys?

I should shut up, probably. I'm about to buy a Mac mini...
