DefCon security on Friday warned attendees at the annual hacker conference that Dateline NBC may have sent a mole with a hidden camera to the event to capture hackers admitting to crimes. She wound up being the one who was outed.

Nintendo’s popular game console outpaces Sony’s by a ratio of 4 to 1 in July, selling at double the price of the basic PS3. In June the ratio was 6 to 1. Still nice.
Ever since I took a Statistics course a few years ago I have been wary of announcements and fuzzy math. CNET reports that Sony held a press conference at CES where they announced that they “had shipped 1 million PlayStation 3 units into the North American retail channel by the end of December.” That does not mean they sold 1 million PS3s. They could have shipped a few hundred thousand PS3s to warehouses and that would still be considered in the retail channel. Also, there have been many reports of people returning PlayStation 3 units because they couldn’t sell them on eBay. Stores recently had plenty of units in-stock. So that may not bode well for the future of the PS3.
