Security Concerns When Consoles Go Online?

VonGuard writes "I've written an article for Security Focus about the security concerns that having an Xbox or Playstation 2 on your network might raise. The article, entitled Welcome to the Jungle was an interesting experience to write. I really think that Sony will end up having some trouble from their stance on third party security design, while Microsoft might end up smelling like roses. Too bad MS shipped the Nimda virus with their Korean version of .Net Visual Studio."

I have given the same thing some thought myself. I think the thing is that in their lives, these people feel powerless, that their repeated experience is one of feeling that they 'lost' or 'failed' somehow.

So when the opportunity comes where they can artificially get to feel that they 'won' or 'succeeded' against others then they enter a zombie state where they spectate on themselves repeatedly masturbating this otherwise unused node in their brain.

I wonder how many of these people had older siblings, and because of this always felt that they were behind?

I hate this lingo
