Sony PlayStation Network Security Breach

77 Million Users Exposed

by: Krista Swanson

I’m not a giant gamer, but I know people who love their PlayStation 3’s and play regularly against people over the Sony PlayStation Network.  Last week the PlayStation network unexpectedly went down, and is still down.  Rumours started flowing that Sony had pulled the plug due to security issues, and that the data of all of its members has been compromised.

The Face, The Voice, The Blog!

Krista Swanson remembers a few things about high school: falling flat on her face during a recreational volleyball game, learning to type on an electric typewriter, and being told that a woman could never make it in technology.

Fast forward a few years, and you may have seen her around town balancing a BlackBerry in one hand and an iPad in the other.  Although she's no longer playing volleyball (she switched to running), she has learned how to program computer software, and become a kick-ass IT project manager. She's married to another techie who understands her addiction to Twitter a proud Mom to a geekling who can use an iPad with his eyes closed.

So whether it's an educational app recommendation to keep the kids busy on a rainy day, a review of the latest parenting gadget, or confirmation that your partner isn't crazy for wanting to buy that 110 inch projector screen for the basement, you'll find it all here.
