P0wned May 28, 2011 3:43 PM GMT @the dude."Maybe all you spoiled peeps that spend money on games deserved it." Really!? First off that is a general blanket statement, implying everyone who owns a Play Station or has an account is "spoiled." I'll let that one slide due to your ignorance and low IQ. Secondly, "And maybe sony's greedy lazy conservative corporate company deserved it too, I'm just glad I didn't buy one" Wow! "greedy", "lazy", "conservative", and "corporate" all in one description. So...let me get this right because a company is successful it also makes them greedy and conservative? Does that mean you are borderline retarded, unemployed, and poor? I think it does based on your logic. I guess I know the reason why you did not buy a Play Station. Either a.) they did not have any at The Goodwill that day, or b.) they cost as much as your make in a month.

Bash May 25, 2011 11:25 PM GMT @ the dude. What do you mean "all of you spoiled peeps that spend money on games"? Dont you have a hobby? You dont Golf, or Collect coins? Gaming is the same thing for us if you think that is being spoiled then thats your own opinion and not reality. Sony dropped the ball thats true, and they are a Japanese company thats why they don't fraternize with hackers, microsoft and google are American based and Americans are more "haker friendly". Just because it is a corporation they deserve the attack? I might be wrong but you sound very uninformed and very opinionated.

Kris Lavery May 17, 2011 2:05 PM GMT ". He's legendary in hacker circles for "unlocking" the first-generation iPhone when he was 17, finding a way past Apple's (AAPL) security layers and opening up the device for use with any cellular carrier." This statement is false. The first iPhone, and all subsequent iPhones with the exception of the iPhone 4 CDMA, are incompatable with CDMA carriers like Verizon. It used the GSM standard. The First iPhone was NEVER unlocked for ALL carriers.

MarkusAndras May 16, 2011 12:40 PM GMT @JD;Sony was the original Thief and Vandal in this case.Sony (armed with an army of lawyers) Stole private data illegally in pursuit of people that had legally purchased a Playstation 3 and chose to mod the hardware to suit their needs.I personally believe that when I purchase a product I should be allowed to use it in any legal fashion I choose. If that makes me a communist, so be it.

Joe May 16, 2011 12:19 PM GMT What really angered Anonymous was the fact that Sony not only went after the hackers, but Sony also demanded social media sites, including YouTube, to hand over IP addresses of people who visited Geohot's social pages and videos.

JD May 15, 2011 9:00 PM GMT It's official. It's ok to steal and vandalize so long as your victim has more money than you. But remember, we're not communists!

Alex May 15, 2011 7:11 PM GMT So, it was a fight between two a--holes: the first one makes huge profits out of its hardware and videogames and leaves its network unguarded (all those security measures is BS), the second one breaks in just for fun and shows to the rest of the world how "cool he is". Guess which one is the biggest?
