Hijacked? That's a really over-exaggerated statement, as anybody could've edited the page to add the link to the virus. Now, if they actually hijacked it to, say, automatically download the virus to the user's computer, that would be a different story, not that it would've affected people who patch their computer.
The keys on the keyboard are really small. I wonder how hard it is to type without having small fingers and not hitting two keys next to the one you intended to press. Reaching over to hit the Q key also looks hard.
How about support for installing XP on an external drive so that you can use it on more than one Intel Mac or even other PCs? You would think that you could do that already, even though it would most likely have a niche use.
In Windows 2000/XP, you can enable a setting in the registry so that when Ctrl+Pause Pause is invoked, the BSOD appears.
I guess pause is actually useful for something!
I wonder what people would do if they took a vacation in the UK or if they were there on a business trip. If this system became integrated into daily life and such, I bet that visitors would have to get some type of a temporary card so that they could be tracked, too.
The title of this story implies that it's a known fact that the PS4 won't use discs. "The end of the disc" is inevitable, but how does anybody know it will happen in the PS4 era?
It doesn't look very durable. The antenna should probably be more attached to the modem. Also, I imagine that the USB connector would bend fairly easily. If I was using that setup, I would hook the thing up to a USB extension cable and attach that to the back of the device. It might not be all that attractive, but it's better than breaking it.
Don't you mean ActiveX instead of DirectX? I think something used for game programming and the like isn't going to help much with getting spyware from web browsing. ActiveX, however, would.

The phone sends the GPS coordinates to another phone. You don't have to leave it with another person, which is why this phone is somewhat unique.

A better question would be how long you could use it until WGA locked you out.
...how do you get Linux on it?
They used to (and they still might) sell them at Wallyworld and Shopko, just to name a couple.
Optimus Prime? He's Jewish?
I doubt that this is real--hmmm...that's strange. I suddenly have an urge to go kill some people...
