• Is the United States to Blame for North Korea's Internet Being Completely Crashed?

    It looks like the United States might be giving North Korea a taste of their own medicine. The country's state-run internet began experiencing connectivity issues over the weekend and now according to various news outlets it has been completely down for about three hours now.

  • Due to Mounting Pressure, Sony Will Likely Release 'The Interview' Eventually

    It is kind of amazing how divided the United States is over racial issues, law enforcement and good ol' political agendas, but when a film studio gets hacked, it is fairly easy to get everyone on the same page — and quickly! Sony canceled everything in connection with its film "The Interview" last week, fearing that the group that has successfully hacked the company would make good on its threats of violence. Once it was confirmed that North Korea was responsible for the large security breech, the studio decided not to take any unnecessary risks and even the White House disagreed with the decision.First, Hollywood as a whole chimed in collectively, not wanting to feel like its business was being controlled by Kim Jong Un's regime. Then political leaders such as U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Newt Gingrich started rallying for the film's release. By this morning, Dec. 22, Sony started contemplating exactly what the best way to release "The Interview" might be. While the logical possibility was either video on demand or Netflix, some other companies might be more than a little skittish, fearing that they, too, will be hacked.

  • Hillary Clinton May Announce Her Decision About a 2016 Presidential Bid Sooner Than Expected

    Hillary Clinton has spent the last few weeks basking in the joys of finally being a grandmother, and she made it clear last month that she was not going to make a decision about whether or not she was going to run for the presidency until after the start of 2015. The time off made sense, as she wanted to focus on family, but by setting a time frame for deciding on another huge political campaign, she gave potential voters something to anticipate. That time frame might have been short lived, though, because a new report out today is saying Clinton might end up announcing her plans long before next year.
