I wouldn't exactly call a system which can be rooted by simply accessing a website "secure".
Now add a shitload of Facebook users to the mix who will open any URL which pops up on their message wall and you simply have yet another promising attack vector.
Makes sense. HP probably has several contractual obligations of their own since there are many large corporate clusters which are using HP-UX running on a shitload of Itanium systems.
The question is whether there's even a need for a separate hardware player when you're already buying an expensive device which has a device that's technically capable of playing movie discs.
And why should I clutter up my living room with additional devices just because some bean counter wanted to save five bucks?
Part of that problem is how Sony wasted pretty much every marketing opportunity to present the PS3 as a complete home entertainment center which could do everything from playing Blu-rays, DVDs and CD to watching movies stored on computers in your home network to playing the latest games on unmatched processing power and browsing the web from your couch.
Instead people perceived it as an overpriced black heating unit which could play a handful of games.
In that case the customers saw it as an overpriced remote control, but in the case of the new Nintendo console the controller will already represent a feature-rich remote and you'd only be paying for the software. Different psychological effect on your customers.
True, sell the DVD and Blu-ray playback feature for 10-15 bucks each and you'll be able to recoup the costs. And people who don't have a need for that feature in their game console won't have to pay for it.
How about finally moving past the usual crap of "travel to location X, kill as many monsters of type Y until you've collected Z items of the specified type"???
Some states have already been that stupid. IIRC in Germany they already have a law which makes some uses of Wireshark within in your own damn network illegal.

True. And somehow Gitmo is still operational and there are still American kids dying in Iraq.
If I have a PC why should I shell out money for a feature-limited box with outdated hardware and inferior capabilities?

Needs more sunglasses!
Considering what they're making from the sale of proprietary media that's petty cash.
Pretty much.
That's why that headline was so laughable.
Yes, somehow they conveniently skipped that part.

And yet PC gamers still end up with shitty half-assed console ports.

An upcoming console is supposed to be more powerful than 5 year old hardware?

Shouldn't be hard for them. Nowadays they'll even claim a trillion dollars of damages if you let someone else listen to an MP3 you bought online.

Maybe you're subsidizing some bribes to Canadian politicians you didn't know about?
I would've given bonus points had they manipulated the system into displaying random Wikileaks embassy cables.
At best you'd see a darker spot near the eyes.
Sure you're not thinking of a niquab?
Ms Pac-Man would be a lot easier. The burqa reduces the whole thing to a dark featureless circle that's moving around.
Sounds like you figured out a new use for Facebook's face recognition feature.
What's the next step? Reinforcing the border by arming patrol units with Vulcan cannons?
