Anonymous doesn't support things like normal people do. No bake sales, charity walks, or long-winded, short-tempered message board flame wars. Anonymous has only one speed, and it's a picture of someone's exposed throat. That much was obvious in the shadowy conglomerate's recent 
We haven't heard much from Sony about its Bloggie Duo HD ever since CES wrapped up in January, and we started to wonder if it would ever come out. It did, and it's available for purchase now direct from Sony for $170. That's not a pre-order either; according to Sony's ordering page, the Bloggie Duo HD is in stock and ready to ship right away.
Yesterday we heard the news that internet hacker group Anonymous had begun an attack on Sony in retaliation for their legal threats against PS3 modders. But now things are taking a bit of a dark turn, even for Anonymous. An offshoot of the main OpSony Anon group called SonyRecon has decided that hitting the Sony sites and services with DDoS attacks isn't enough. They've decided to go after Sony employees personally.
Over the weekend, well known and feared internet vigilante group Anonymous called out Sony for their legal pursuit of modder GeoHot. Here we are today, and PlayStation websites and even the PlayStation Network are suffering some notable stability issues. Is Anonymous behind it? Sony says no, Anon says yes.
Sometimes loose lips sink ships, and other times they reveal details about unreleased products, like the iPhone 5. That's what Sony CEO Howard Stringer did in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg, in which Stringer let it be known that Sony is supplying the image sensor for Apple's upcoming iPhone 5. It was an inadvertent slip that, if you read between the lines, provides a couple of interesting tidbits regarding Apple's next smartphone.Perhaps the most convoluted soap-opera in the history of technology...
I was there, when the Pilot landed.
It was the summer of 1996, and the US Robotics Pilot 5000 had just arrived in the bootLab (‘boot Magazine’ was the then-newly-launched precursor to Maximum PC).
With unprecedented ferocity, we editors were fighting gladiator style for dibs on reviewing this tiny bit of pocket-sized plastic with its dingy monochrome screen. Not even the latest uber-PC or 3D graphics card generated such editorial lust.

We have some major news from the Dutch theatre of Sony’s patent battle with LG. The temporary ban that was imposed on the import of PS3s into Netherlands last month has now been lifted. Sony has plenty to cheer about as a bulk of its PS3 shipments designated for continental Europe and UK come through Rotterdam and Schiphol. But this isn’t the proverbial last laugh for Sony. Read on to find out what’s next for the two companies.
If you were to march into your local Best Buy to purchase a non-refurbished modern gaming console for the least amount of skrilla, you'd have to decide between a $299 PlayStation 3, $299 Xbox 360, and $199 Wii. That doesn't include gimped systems, like the $199 Xbox 360 with the hard drive stripped out, but the core models from each of the big three. What's interesting about this is that the price is the same now as it was 18 months ago, and at least one analyst thinks something has to give.
Now available for pre-sale is Sony's new line of home audio/video receivers with 3D support baked in. New models include the STR-DN1020, STR-DH820, STR-DH720, and STR-DH520. All four will ship this Spring, and none of them will set you back more than $500, with the lowest end model (DH520) carrying an MSRP of $230.
