I think America just lost its first cyber-skirmish. A foreign government conducted a cyber attack on American "soil" and our government won't name the country of origin (which they probably knew within a few hours) because we don't want to make diplomatic relations difficult, let alone retaliate. We should be making every North Korean's Xbox One DDoS Kim Jong-un's favorite porn site right now, just on principle, but we aren't .

Kwow, something I actually agree with George Clooney about
George Clooney has called on Hollywood colleagues to push for the immediate online release of "The Interview" despite the Sony hack and other threats, saying movie audiences should not be dictated to by North Korean tyrant Kim Jong Un. Sony Pictures on Wednesday canceled the release of the movie after a computer hack that investigators believe is linked to North Korea, and terrorist threats against theaters that planned to screen it. The decision was greeted with dismay Thursday by celebrities.
Clooney added his voice to the chorus of criticism on Thursday, telling the trade site Deadline: "We should be in the position right now of going on offense with this. Stick it online. Do whatever you can to get this movie out. Not because everybody has to see the movie, but because I'm not going to be told we can't see the movie.
He added: "That's the most important part. We cannot be told we can't see something by Kim Jong Un, of all f***ing people."
and Obama, guys I'm scared, somebody hold me
President Barack Obama has vowed a US response after North Korea's alleged cyber-attack on Sony Pictures.
The US leader also said the studio "made a mistake" in refusing to release a controversial satire depicting the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
On Friday US authorities linked North Korea to the hack, which saw sensitive studio information publicly released.
Sony withdrew the film The Interview following continued threats.
"We will respond," Mr Obama told reporters on Friday, declining to offer specifics. "We will respond proportionately and in a space, time and manner that we choose."
He added: "We cannot have a society in which some dictator someplace can start imposing censorship in the United States."
