  1. Re:I say, "Yes. Yes they should." on Can Banks Shift Phishing Losses to Customers? · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately two-factor authentication has already been hacked. Basically (i can't remember the link but i'm sure it was posted here) the hackers copied the two-factor authentication and then used the window that their given (i think it was 5 minutes) and logged on using their system. simple. People need more diligence in their online activities to prevent them from being suckered, anybody can fake a site but it's pretty damn obvious when the URL isn't what it should be and there are lots of tools out there to help. The simplest way to prevent phishing through emails is that when you get an email from paypal or bofa or any where go to that site by hand never click on the link in the email. period. -Morder

    ...why everybody doesn't just whitelist. Sure some spam may get by but it removes 99% of it right off the bat. Everything that isn't on my whitelist isn't email I want in the first place.

  5. Re:Nope. on Nokia the Next to Try an iTunes Killer? · · Score: 1

    I'm curious as to why everything has to be 'the next so-and-so killer'. I for one am getting really sick of the next killer app, killer product. Business is not all or nothing (sure can be helpfule). One product can compliment another while maintaining their own market share. Sure iTunes may be large. Part of it's size is related to the # of iPods out there. Until you supplant those media players a new service won't see that much of a gain in the market share.

  6. Re:Anyone have more information? on The 64% Violent Pacman · · Score: 1

    The only game I can think of that doesn't match that criteria is Tetris and possibly Animal Crossing for the gc, you can hit people with the bug catching net and they get mad.

    The entire goal of pacman is to eat all pellets without getting touched by the ghosts, since they're invincible you must exercise self-defense by eating a power pellet...which would allow you to remove the ghosts for a short period of time by eating them...how the hell is that violent? For crying out loud. If a game doesn't meet your expectations don't buy it. Obviously a game called Grand Theft Auto might have portions of violence within it. That doesn't mean that it shouldn't be sold...just that it's your choice to buy it. Parents...pay attention to what your children play and this wont be an issue.

    I've been desensitized to violence since I've been watching Friday 13th and Children of the Corn since I was little...but I don't recall ever going out a hurting someone. (I could have blacked out) Overall this whole issue is getting out of hand. If people think that violence is a bad thing then there wouldn't be stellar sales of violent games. Obviously the public wants it and who is the government to say we shouldn't have it? (if the item in question is legal)

  16. Re:Keyboard + mouse? on Sony Rep Denies Need For PC, PS3 Better · · Score: 1

    problem with that is that the console must be shipped with the keyboard & mouse otherwise developers will not take advantage of it. Hence why nintendo is shipping with their motion sensitive controller. Since it's in the hands of gamers and developers know this, they'll take advantage of it.
