We need to start utilizing APNG or MNG. Firefox does support APNG, most Webkit browsers do not sadly. APNG has the advantage of displaying the first frame in any PNG capable program. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MNG

When said corporation is said to be the target for a few weeks prior, I think it's more than scapegoating. It's a confirmation.

Take a look at the comments, no one else on /. is concerned about you're credit card. Instead they would rather say someone that isn't a part of Anonymous didn't do it and that Sony deserved it.

but not so much "is my credit card that the PSN stores secure?"

Which is precisely what Sony is investigating. First /. commenter's must say Sony doesn't know howto bring PSN back up, that Anonymous is not responsible and that Sony brought down lik sang/rootkit/OtherOS before they say anything about the more important issue of peoples credit card informaiton. Just look at how parent has a score of 3 and people blaming Sony for being idiots has a score of 5.

I don't have a Playstation

Then you don't have a right to comment on this article. There aren't any single player games on PS3 that require PSN connection (not Demon Souls, not LittleBigPlanet, not anything) in order to save the game, and the fact that you have a score 5 is pathetic. It really shows the Sony hate on /., which is undeserved as the PS3 is the most open platform (Steam integration, 99% region free games).

there is the crazy Live-Games for Windows

Sony is not Microsoft, which coincidently make the competing console with a 60% failure rate.

The system is not still down for forensic or investigational issues, its down because they haven't figured out how to bring it back up

It's down because they're trying to make sure PSN users credit card information wasn't compromised asshole. They could bring it up now if they wanted to, but first they're making sure the user accounts are safe.

How does one organization speak for anonymous? The hacker is clearly a part of anonymous, which has no central organization. He might have been working alone, but was still anonymous.
