New hackers are ruining our holiday fun, but also screwing with North Korea (so it's not all bad, I guess). Sony is just annoyed so they have started using and the NSA is staffed by people you wouldn't want working at a grocery store. It's been a weird year.

Headlines:* North Korea gets its full 1.5Mbps ISP taken down * Sony is unsure of how Twitter works * Sony releases The Interview after all * . . . and it takes off on torrent sites * Mississippi Attorney General backs off Google investigation * PlayStation on your TV. Like, actually ON the TV * Xbox Live and PlayStation Network hacked * Kim Dotcom calls off the hackers… allegedly * Hackers take on the Tor network * Apple forced to use OS X automatic update for the first time ever * FCC admits it's hard to get an accurate view of Net Neutrality when half a billion votes are missing * So the NSA hires the same people McDonald's does. Nice.
