Microsoft's actually been pretty useful. The blame is on the people who have installed it in critical systems. Ever since I've read anything about medical systems and the like,something they always repeat is not to install Windows or a similar desktop OS on the systems because it makes unauthorized access easier and the OS wasn't designed for such critical systems, so it might crash every now and then. Designers of critical systems know this, and if they are negligent and use Windows, then the blame for the consequences should fall on them.
BD-XL = blu ray version of Super Audio CD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Audio_CD Hopefully people will refuse to oblige Sony and instead let the new format remain uncommon, lest Sony finds the practice of removing features from customers' devices as the normal thing to do.
-The PS3 has lost features throughout its life -If SACD had been widely adopted, regular CD's would've become obsolete and would've been a waste of money for consumers -if BD-XL and the like become widely adoped, regular blu-ray will become obsolete and a waste of money
Don't let Sony think these kinds of practices are acceptable.
it's good that they're coming up with higher and higher capacities so often, good for those that need them, but releasing incompatible hardware with the intent of it replacing existing hardware in wide use so often shouldn't be something normally done.
The important part about this is not that the attack is very specific (only Broadcom running ASF) but that attacks through a NIC are possible at all. This could be the beginning of more serious and widespread attacks as network components become exploitable through their increasing technology. There's a relationship between amount of code a device runs and the amount of bugs present in that code, and bugs can often be exploited for bad purposes.
It's true, I tried this at school three years ago and no matter what way I put the IP in, the site was blocked. Might as well use Tor. If you're on XP it's a matter of a flash drive and C:\Windows\System32\at.exe to run any program you want

Instead of using electric pulses that the person has to translate, sound pulses are used. I still think it'd be cool if they made a completely artificial eyeball or something like that because i seriously doubt translating signals like that is even close to the 1337nessof real eyesight.

thanks to the average user, who does not care about these kinds of things.

They'd better be careful or we'll have to call in Doctor Freeman http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Resonance_Cascade
