Re:Ask HN: Why do Hackers always (it seems) go after Sony? on Monday December 08, 2014 @09:21AM (#8716499)
I do read the news, and I am aware of the hacks on other companies.

Specifically I meaning this - http://attrition.org/security/rant/sony_aka_sownage.html and the table at the bottom. Over 30-40 high profile attacks on a regular basis (every couple of months). And more recently hacks on the PS network, Sony pictures, customer details etc that were so high profile.

Ask HN: Why do Hackers always (it seems) go after Sony?

Hey guys,I read another article today http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-30373686 where the Playstation network has been hacked. What is with all the hacks to Sony? Are they perceived to be easy to hack or are they a company that are for whatever reason hated?

Another reminder, not that it was needed, of just how tragic his death was, and what a great loss it is.

The story of the greatest adventurer alive today

An interesting article on Jason Lewis who became the first person to circumnavigate the Earth without using motors or sails. He walked, cycled, & inline skated 5 continents, & kayaked, swam, rowed, & pedalled a boat across the rivers, seas, and oceans. It took him 13 years to complete, the 46,505-mile journey. This is an interview with him on what those 13 years were like, why he...

Ask HN: What's been your proudest moment since launching your startup?

He asked where else people had visited the site from.So I opened up analytics and to my complete amazement at least one person in every country in the world bar Greenland had visited my tiny startup! I make no...

In need of some peace for 10 mins? Then I give you the mountain

Hi all,I run a site where we try and dish out inspiring content. I came across a video a couple of days ago that totally took my breath away. It is entitled 'the mountain' and as one person puts it 'A man filmed heaven for 7 days, what he filmed took my breath away.'Many of us are living busy lives and often don't take time to reflect on the beauty around us. If you are stressed, or just want...

Ask HN: Do you want to buy our website

Hi guys,We've been developing our site - getinspired365.com for the last 15 months. We've spent a long time on it but we've reached a point where myself, and my partner, can't spend any more time on it. We would like some return on the work we've put in so we've decided to see if we can sell it. Here is a quick presentation (6 slides) on what the site is about, and why someone may want to buy...
