    As if the breach wasn't enough...

    All that data.. All those files. And now there's a pay disparity. Will there now be a sex discrimination suit in the offing too? Since we don't have a popcorn icon for sitting back watching this unfold... beer will work.

    A Silver Lining?

    As some of hte movies were unreleased, any of them online could only come from one source so it will be easy to trace the downloaders and sue them several hundred gazillion dollars.

    That means bonuses are safe. As for the employees, I recall a comment from Norman Tebbitt about bicycles.

    Independence? They've heard of it....

    Got to question why Sony had this info.

    I'm sure it could be something as innocent as badly selected test data for a risk audit...

    Yeah, I don't believe that either.

    Back off

    Look he got a new dropbox account and wanted to see if they really did give him 50G, so needed some data to test it.

    You guys are all so perfect, like you would never do that.

    Mmmmmm, Sony!

    Couldn't happen to a nicer company. This might be the curse of the rootkit infected customers or maybe the prayers of PlayStation Linux victims have been finally successful. Anyway it's good news!
