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

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday December 24, 2014 @06:14AM from the watch-it-now dept.

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. "

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