They need to be reminded who's REALLY in charge.

There were some reports of disturbances in Cardiff.

And this kind of thing is perpetrated by kids in NI every single weekend during the summer.

Must be a good parody of spam, because I scanned it for about four seconds and thought, "that's enough for me".

I still want to see some kind of interface between mass storage devices, wireless and content, enabling WLAN content parties. You rock up, your device sees everyone else at the event and starts sharing, perhaps intelligently based on your preferences, Maybe smartphones hold the answer to this, but they may not offer lots of storage. However this could work on a small scale. You could just turn up to the pub and your device would sort out the rest. It could share your own content and look after the security. Could even base it on bittorrent for max efficiency. That would be very cool. Someone make it happen.

Whereas if they hadn't done so and accounts sharing passwords were compromised, everyone would be all "stupid users" or "why didn't google reset everyone's password?". Invasion of privacy, wot a joke.

They're not embarrassing large corporations over their poor security. They're running DDoS attacks which anyone would find difficult to defend against.

cool, 5,000 soiled teddy bears and 10 grand of unusable electrical equipment!

This is the internet, who cares about real-life outcomes?

What evidence is there that the victims stored such information on public servers? A personal account with no work mails could still give enough info to compromise accounts elsewhere.

Just this weekend I learned via a BBC documentary that the only reason Hollywood exists was because of the desire of New York filmmakers to get as far away as possible from Edison's patent enforcement (often through the use of hired goons to smash up equipment).

I found it interesting that in the history of two of the biggest forms of mass media, recorded sound and cinema, Edison was there at the outset, yet his aggressive pursuit of patent infringement meant that people were forced to look elsewhere and his products failed to become the dominant technology. A lesson for modern patent trolls.

"People censor themselves when they know their friends will read their comments" Have you read a common Facebook thread recently? Did you see all the comments about Japan? Try lamebook and see how much censorship the use of real names enforces.

Well very begrudgingly, he said they knew about the efforts of PC enthusiasts and didn't mind. UK users can see the short interview for Click at the CES here http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006m9ry

In my country you can join the hired killers with your parents' consent at 16... but you can't vote against the political party which sends you on an unwinnable war until you are 18...

I only tailgate people who leave a big fucking gap in front of them and the next car up.

Just as long as you don't try and plant a flag there on behalf of the Republic of Yorkshire...
