Since Silverlight is coming to the Xbox in a big way within the next few weeks. I suppose they could transition that to a different platform, but I don't think the large number of content providers they lined up for this release would be thrilled.

Warner Bros. doesn't have anything to do with Time Warner Cable. They sold it off a few years ago

They let him leave Sweden because he agreed to come back for questioning. He later decided to skip his appointment and refuse to return to Sweden (a fact which he admits).

Those are membership dues that are being withheld. UNESCO will probably let them go unpaid for awhile, but not forever.

It seems UNESCO and the US can get along fine without each other, as they did during the 20 years between Reagan's withdrawal from the group and Bush Jr.'s re-entry.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the WHO/WIPO/WTO/IAEA, etc. but Congress can make exceptions if they feel like it.

and this is not the first time the question has been raised -- see also: potential future 4G iPhone (which will be very interesting)

Good thing taking to bus or train is allegedly a privilege too, because they run the same VIPR program for those means.

The summary states that there 93,000 login attempts and that a small number of the attempts were successful. This is false. There was an undisclosed number of attempts, and 93,000 accounts were successfully compromised. From Sony's own statement:

There were approximately 93,000 accounts globally (PSN/SEN: approximately 60,000 accounts; SOE: approximately 33,000) where the attempts succeeded in verifying those accounts’ valid sign-in IDs and passwords, and we have temporarily locked these accounts.

This is no different than most smartphones available today. Are you equally paranoid about those things happening on your phone?

It's not a requirement for Windows 8. It is a requirement for 'Designed for Windows 8' OEM systems.
