RE (1.): To imply that North Korea does not have the capability of pulling this off is to imply that the country is bereft of single human being with access to an Internet-connected computer.

With that said--whether or not they were involved is entirely up for debate.

Having access to the internet doesn't mean you can automatically hack a multi-billion dollar company.

Sony is the epitome of why we should not equate money with technological security. Additionally, the methods used to gain access to their systems necessitated little if any capital expenditure on the part of the attackers. Granted, that is not to say that no capital was expended, but simply that little expenditure was necessitated by the alleged methods.
