On-topic: The article headline at hand is half-baked but it's pretty obvious at this point that there are more cyber criminals against Windows.

Haha! That's ridiculous. I never noticed this line.

Apple was at fault because their hardware is extrmely overpriced. If they would make it cheaper all of Sony would probably use apple computers and therefore nothing would have happened.

Fuck you apple!

or whatever software sony uses simply does not work on Apple because the OS is simply not compatible with 99% of humanities computer programms (maybe some alien stuff but who knows)

Either way its apples fault for being to expensive and/or not being compatible with windows software

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Well hackers are worse than entitled gamers. So if anyone piss them the slightest they flock a bunch of pests and torment the company they don't like. Seems like soccer cheersquad pesterizing and threatening the players.

Only Windows computers were compromised. Macs were left untouched.

So who do we blame here? Sony, the victim? The hackers? Or Microsoft?

I think the blame here lies with each of them. Sony for being cheap and buying Windows computers instead of Mac. The hackers for attacking Sony and Microsoft for having a vulnerable operating system.

Discuss.

Blame Sony for it their online security it's not good
