I hope Sony survives. I would hate to miss seeing Hotel Transylvania 2 and The Smurfs 3.

Loved the comment, Tom.

John, I don't think that most understand how a hack, like the Sony hack, could jeopardize the entire company, and it's future existence, or permit a re-hack, almost at will. A brief explanation might be helpful.

If Sony can be hacked, what can't? And governments? Just think about their employee competency. Talk about scary!

Well, if you worked for Sony and I had your name, SS number, RSA
tokens and email account, then I could access your company computer,
and from there access anything in the company that you could access.
And even if you changed your password, I would have 47,000 other
people I could try. And I haven't even mentioned identify theft.
