Not that we know of yet, but it has been revealed this morning that Glen Mulcaire, the man who performed both the Dowler and Soham hacks, also did the same to relatives of victims of the London 7/7 terrorist bombings.

It was my understanding that ISPs were generally ridiculing Conroy's attempts to censor the internet. As such, this looks a lot like a deliberate implementation that gives parents who want their kids not finding porn "by accident, Mum, honest" what they're after, while not getting in the way of anyone with full control of their own OS too much.

Games involve an awful lot more than spitting a bunch of polys at the GPU, though; if calculating where all that geometry needs to be takes too long the GPU has nothing to do.

5570-class graphics in a laptop add an AWFUL lot more than $60 to the price, however. It's there the difference will be made; I'm not too fussed at needing discrete graphics in a tower case.

Since it would appear that the same people who DDOSed cia.gov also did the same to the Serious and Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), the UK equivalent, there's plenty of local criminality to arrest him for, even before we get as far as extradition.

Ryan Clearly housed a lulz IRC chatroom. That's easily enough to count as 'something to do with lulzsec' as far as the law is concerned.

Lulzsec have just pissed off the CIA, and got themselves regarded as terrorists. If Clearly was also on IRC duties for Al Qaeda he'd already be in Guantanamo, and you know it.

MS made Silverlight, which was proprietary, but did stuff that standard HTML couldn't. It was also less of a security disaster than Flash, and less hideous than Java.

Now there's a standards-compliant way of doing things with HTML5, they're using it. You might as well complain that it's possible to get somewhere on the Adobe website without having Flash installed. I'm sure MS still recommend using Silverlight if you have a task HTML5 can't perform.

Frankly, I think they hit that point the other day, when they took down Goonswarm's EVE fun.

Probably the same principle that says "don't feed the trolls".

Kelvin McKenzie is being eyed up for admitting that he emailed everyone he know about [the one who was on the front of yesterday's Sunday Herald]. Giles Coren, however, is in trouble for tweeting about [the footballer Sparkyjay23 mentions just above me] as well.

Names poorly munged because I'm in the UK, even if the /. server isn't.

Didn't you get the memo? It's Rapture Saturday; we're all dead then, not just the questioner.

If this were a case of giving a developer a second monitor, there would be more of a case for concern, perhaps. But this is taking one of the existing two monitors away, just because someone else needs a new monitor, and the company doesn't consider it worth buying one rather than taking it off the dev.

Taking equipment, particularly equipment that is regarded as making your job less unpleasant, away is asking for a whole mess of trouble that has to be more expensive than just ordering a new monitor.

I suspect people will still use PSN. But I also suspect many will be more wary of providing credit card details, and go get points cards from a shop if they want to purchase DLC or downloadable games.

That really pushes a lot of impulse purchases away, and could be fatal for the likes of Cuthbert, if his margins are already tight.

The way it works is that you still save to the hard drive within the game. PSN+ subscribers just have an option in the dash to back that save up to Sony's servers, where it can then be downloaded onto another of your PS3s (because you've got lots of them, haven't you?) and still used. As supposed to doing exactly the same with a USB memory stick, or what have you.

Basically, it's nothing a PC owner with a Dropbox account couldn't achieve.

It's a handheld machine for playing videogames. Pretty much by definition, its capabilities are playing the videogames that are on it.

As such, I rather suspect that consumers are capable of understanding what those capabilities are. And right now, they don't amount to a whole lot, because there's nothing on it I'm desperate to play.
