Alright, I FINALLY got my email from Sony at 10:36 PM last night (04/27/2011), letting me know of the outage and that my information might have been compromised. That's over a WEEK after this whole thing started. Thanks, I guess.

Yup. 71. It was on sale for 20 dollars so I figured it was worth a try. I remembered your review Rob and how much you liked it so I reckon that I will be cursing you around the 55-60 character mark.

I just picked up Acronis True Image 2011 (Rob reviewed this last year) and holy shit, it has a 71 character serial. WTF. I'm not sure it's worth it to punch that thing in. :confused:

Doom, do you ever run into any obstacles in Pakistan?

Yes .

I'm rocking a WNDR3700 and it sits on my desk. I like the way it looks but given it's location, it might not see the temps that you see on yours.

Oh Christ. I just watched the videos. It looks like a giant white crab is humping their router and I might have seen a nipple when the dude that's not Bolo Yeung was looking up porn. Also, I guess routers in Second Life get hot too. That's unfortunate. I don't know which is better between...

Ugh... I don't know how I feel about this. :) On one hand, your home router can run hot and more than likely does more so often than not. That said, these devices are designed to run underneath a certain temperature threshold and I'm guessing that whatever number they design the router's...

What games are you wanting to run? Crimson is right in saying that you are eliminating the chance to use the most recent video cards. What CPU are you looking to use? Would it be upgraded as well? I stop short of suggesting that you purchase all new gear but you could get an updated...

I'm surprised to see that major players in the developed world are not on the list. Countries like Canada and France weren't examined. Hopefully the United States remains in the green forever.

As I continue to stew on this, I get more and more aggravated with Sony. Someone has had access to my personal information for a week now and Sony is just now letting me and everyone else know? Granted, with the exception of my credit card information, all of the data concerning me can be...

I agree with everything you said and I think it's more than justified to to be upset. I'm concerned for my personal data just as everyone else impacted should be. That still doesn't mean that they had it coming. Where was this backlash when Michael Crippen got arrested in 2009 for hacking...

Poke the hornets nest? What does that even mean? They chose to frown on people modifying their systems. Its their prerogative to do so if they want. If you don't like what they are doing, you don't give them your money. I'm cool with having no sympathy for them, I have little myself, but to...

Come on Sony. Your security has got to be better than this. This is serious.

Although, I think all would be forgiven if Sony would use this time to cleanse it's environment of Playstation Home. :)

Yeah, this seems to be getting more and more interesting. If it were just a DDoS, Sony could take down the site without any negative impact on the site files and database itself. It would just not be reachable. They then could have used the time as an unplanned and unexpected maintenance...

I'm not trying to argue with you and I never implied that you were wrong. I know my example is not a complete representation of all micro-USB devices but in testing the only three micro-USB devices in my house, three devices in three completely different CE markets, suggested to me that it was...

I'm anxious to see what they announce hardware wise. With their unrivaled gaming teams, a capable, HD ready console will be welcome.

The game mechanics are what we have come to expect from Valve though the dialog is what makes the game an instant classic. If one were to play the game without audio, it would still earn a 10 but with sound, it's in very rare company as one of the best games ever, right up there with the...

This would certainly be a welcome sign. I'm looking forward to E3 this May, in the hopes that some news, ANY news, releases.
