    It's unfortunate Sony chose to use the proprietary flash memory technology known as Memory Stick. And it costs more, too. For this alledged "hack", you'll need two of them. And it lets you make programs for a device that pseudo-DVD video discs are being sold to parents ripping off their kids. Can't even handle 480p resolution. No excuse.

    The Sony PlayStation contains critical computer technology. We would do well to ban its export to China, for Beijing is aggressively trying to upgrade the computer infrastructure of the Chinese military.

    A cluster of Sony PlayStations stitched together by Beowulf equates to a supercomputer with the horsepower to simulate nuclear blasts. Should we allow Beijing to access such critical computer technology?
