Have people on the payroll who can deal with these things instead of having to hire out for them after the fact.
I think it was extremely good Sony hired outside investigation. It could just as well been a dishonest employee and often in this type of things it is. Several million credit cards info on your hands and always some low paid guy will turn dishonest.
allow hackers to flash custom firmwares and still play on PSN for starters.

Mac users are also being targeted by a new piece of scareware called MAC Defender.
Password stealers and scareware is pretty much the annoyance of Windows users too. Good old viruses are pretty much thing of a past (remember when Linux used to have those too?)
I would find it interesting if Google opened up their search engine code. They claim it is beneficial for companies to open source their products and keep customers by offering better services than others. It's an interesting claim from a company whose main product is closed.
After all, by not opening up their search engine and data they're the ones pushing out competitors on the area just by Google's enormous size. No one else can ever get close to that kind of usage data, hence Google will always dominate the field. At least Bing is still somewhat holding on now, but it's the last one in western world.
However, I'm glad Yandex is still holding on in Russia and Baidu in China. At least Google has some competition. And it wont replace those easily.
The URS is a quick $200 process for a trademark holder to disable and take ownership of a domain.
Never trust a computer you can't repair yourself.
