Reaction to the Sony Hack Is 'Beyond the Realm of Stupid'
This is pretty ridiculous.  Want to clear out an entire NFL playoff game in a few weeks?  Tweet out a vague threat against the game about 24 hours prior.  Want several million dollars?  Send emails to about 20,000 bars and restaurants demanding $5K in Bitcoins or their business will be blown to bits.The problem isn't that Sony capitulated to a threat.  It's that they capitulated to a nonsensical threat.  They gave credence to every threat.  Earlier in the day I was somewhat neutral on this, but now that I've had a chance to consider it I think that Sony is actually endangering our national security with this move.  This is the first time in recent memory that America has been seen as caving to terrorist demands, and it can only create more disasters.
