Sony To Release the Interview Online Today; Apple Won't Play Ball

An anonymous reader writes "The BBC reports: "Sony Pictures is to distribute its film The Interview online, after a cyber-attack and a row over its release. The film will be offered on a dedicated website — seetheinterview.com — as well as via Google and Microsoft services." Notably absent among the services to provide The Interview is Apple. The New York Times reports: "According to people briefed on the matter, Sony had in recent days asked the White House for help in lining up a single technology partner — Apple, which operates iTunes — but the tech company was not interested, at least not on a speedy time table. An Apple spokesman declined to comment. "

    I Would Rather:

    Circumcise myself with a chainsaw.
    Masturbate with a garlic hammer.
    Gouge out my eyeballs with an ice cream scoop then rinse out the sockets with battery acid.
    Watch the Den & Angie episode on a continuous loop.
    Braid my own pubic hair. Then garotte myself with it.

    Their Communist Chinese hackers will use DDR3 exploit on all viewing sites to infect our computers.

    An exploit on SDRAM? That’s why I insist on only using write-only memory on my computer.
