Great writeup I want to see more installments of everything listed!
From the disagreements on my comment, I can only assume that either some users prefer to be lead by fear/hate-mongering, or (more likely) media publishers would prefer I didn't bring attention to their generally unethical practices.
We'll settle for just bookmarking us :) That's all the support we can ask. (Also, as a fellow linux user, nice profile pic :P )
Thanks for the kind words. I think my last article may have been misunderstood in its intentions, so I wanted to make sure I cleared the air with giving my opinion of the ordeal as a whole.

There are a few bad reviews for bad games, and a few complaint pieces where and author gives their opinion, but if you search the site, you&#...
Did you read the article? Most of it concerns the answer to your first question...
For the repeated question of "Forgive them for what?", I don't refer to the hack itself - that could have happened to anyone. What I am referring to is your personal information being left in lax security while only credit information was encrypted.
