I'd love to have a dedicated research assistant to help me trudge through the tedious task of stitching together data from across the web. This is beyond current LLMs but seems like it should be possible with a system like this.

Actually I think that Facebook is shooting for something completely different than the Amazon market. Amazon is trying to bring competition to the app-space where Facebook is attempting to subvert everything that's done on the phone. Amazon want to sell apps that will run on your phone. Facebook wants to give you apps that run inside of the Facebook app. Facebook wants to be to the iPhone sort of what ChromeOS is to the netbook. You turn on your phone, open up the Facebook shell and then run all your apps inside their framework, this approach is much more damaging to Apple than a competing market like Amazon is.

They got the passwords by getting into a unknown website's database (obviously smart money is on writerspace.com). The email breakdown at the top of the article corresponds to the email that was associated with the accounts. None of the email services (hotmail or gmail) were actually compromised. Knowing Lulzsec's past work they probably got access via a simple SQL injection.

Any /. theories on ajcuivd289 ? I'm stumped, unless one dude has a lot of dupe accounts.

ANAL = Ammonia-Nitrate + Aluminium Powder an extremely volatile mix. So much so that the heat from rubbing two rough wooden boards together can set it off. So if you make the container and pressure plate out of wood, there's no way for a metal detector to find it, our jammers don't work because there's no RC signal, and there's no give-away like an ant trail because it's victim operated and completely self contained. Just because a people have less access to modern technology doesn't make them any less creative. Any insurgent, whether in Libya like in the article, Iraq, Afghanistan, soon Yemen, is on equal mental footing to us.

Insurgents in Iraq have been stripping RC components to make IEDs for years. In Afghanistan we came across IEDs with *no* metal signature made from wood and AnAL, with multiple triggers, including anti-tampering devices.

Sony doesn't really care ... isn't that why Gabe and Tycho founded Child's Play?

I've actually worked a 48 hour shift at work thanks to lots of redbull. Also in the Marine Corp infantry I've experienced plenty of sleepless days. Then there's the Case Western Sci Fi Movie Marathon I go to once a year with the intent of not sleeping from Friday morning until Sunday night.

No he didn't start tracking until the 20th of January so that month's number is low. And it's not the end of the month yet so May's number is low.

If you consider 11 days in January = 61.67 GB that's ~5.6 GB per day. So if that was an accurate of per day bandwidth the entire month it would be about 174 GB for the month, much closer to his February number. We can do the same thing with May and find 7.715 GB per day and a projected 239.165 GB for this month.

Overall if you were to plot the numbers it shows a steady increase in usage from January to now. So if anything you should have left out the "and got her back in May" part because that would imply he's slowly sinking deeper into the world of the internet after February.
