Company had “no playbook” – Michael Lynton
The chief executive of Sony Pictures, Michael Lynton says that they had no precedent planning to deal with the hacking attack based on the scale it hit the company.
According to Michael Lynton his company had “no playbook” on how to respond.
In an all-around interview with the Associated Press, he also explained the grade and scale of the attack, for which North Korea has been blamed by US government.
However according to one security expert Sony should have spotted the danger and could have prepared crisis plans.
As Lynton said, soon after the attack was discovered, his firm scattered to restore communications, brought the old phones into light and worked out the methods to pay staff with paper Cheques.
‘Adequately prepared’
“We are the canary in the coal mine, that’s for sure,” he informed the Associated Press.
“There’s no playbook for this, so you are in essence trying to look at the situation as it unfolds and make decisions without being able to refer to a lot of experiences you’ve had in the past or other people’s experiences. You’re on completely new ground.”
He also talked about the scale of data loss his company had suffered to the agency.
“They came in the house, stole everything, then burned down the house. They destroyed servers, computers, wiped them clean of all the data and took all the data.”
He suggested his firm was “adequately prepared” but “just not for an attack of this nature”, which according to him no firm could have withstood.
The hackers didn’t stop with a series of leaks; they threatened further attacks over Sony Pictures’ satiric comedy, The Interview, which was based on an assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un release.
After the threats, many cinemas declined to screen the Christmas premier and Sony Pictures drew the film altogether.
“Every time you thought you were going down a path,
every time people thought we’ve got this in hand, the next thing you
knew we’d have another threatening email come through two days later or
another series of events“
Michael Lynton, Sony Pictures Chief Executive
But it was later released online. Lynton insisted that the studio always planned some sort of release but did not know how to carry it out.
Though, it was released later online. As per Lynton the studio had a plan to release it in some sort but had no idea to carry the release.
Apple May Be Planning to Kill off iPod Shuffle
There are chances that Apple may kill off the iPod Shuffle, the second in the row of classic iPod to be discontinued in a year.
Stock of the devices is shrinking in Apple Stores, which is commonly a sign that a product is going to be discontinued or might get an upgrade.
This would be the second iPod to be discontinued by the company in a year, after it discontinued iPod classic. Fans grieved the termination of sale of iPod Classic, who rushed to have their hands on the devices on eBay and other accessible online stores at highly inflated prices.
Reportedly, Apple puts a warning to the employees with the low stock that stocks might run low for a while
The iPod Shuffle first made its appearance in 2005, and is now it has
reached its fourth generation. It is the most reasonable and simplest
amongst all the Apple’s iPod devices — now a category that only has the
iPod Nano and iPod Touch.

A whole new variety of filter adds more fun to Instagram
“A host of me-too apps have been introduced to the market since Instagram was launched. Filters are becoming a competitive advantage for Instagram so I suspect you’ll see it develop more filters as time goes on because that’s the real value of their service,” informed Chris Chute, Research Director at IDC. He also said that the new filters will be welcomed amongst Instagram’s growing bunch of commercial users.
If you are an Instagram user, you may be like the new filters too that Instagram has added, first time in two years.
With these five new filters, the total number of filters becomes 24.
“In December 2012, we added Mayfair and Willow to the Instagram filter family — and a lot has happened in the last two years. Photography trends have evolved, and the capabilities of the camera on your phone have vastly improved.”
“Inspired by the photography, art, fashion and design of the global Instagram community, we’re releasing five new filters that we believe are our best yet,” the company said.
Along with the addition of the new filters, Instagram has changed the display style of the filters as well. Now all the filters are displayed at the bottom of the photo, the effects are shown as a small blurred thumbnail of the original picture and the placement order filters can be adjusted by dragging and dropping the thumbnails as per your choice in the filter tray of application.
Gmail email service is blocked in China
There are reports that Gmail email service is blocked in China now, which is easily accessible usually.
China is facing troubles using the Gmail directly through Google’s site, it has become impossible for them to use Gmail however citizen of China are able to use third-party apps like Microsoft Outlook, to make use of Gmail.
Nevertheless, Google’s own data shows that indeed the traffic steeped down enormously on Friday.
The US firm said there were no known issues with its provision of Gmail.
“There’s nothing technically wrong on our end,” the spokesman for Google Asia Pacific, Taj Meadows told a news agency.
A digital rights campaign group was the first to announce the issue. Accprding to them the internet protocol addresses that are used to access Gmail in China have become inaccessible.
“Those protocols are used in the default email app on iPhone, Microsoft Outlook on PC and many more email clients,” it informed.
“Chinese users now have no way of accessing Gmail behind the GFW [great firewall].”
Google’s data reveals there is still, but, a low level of Gmail usage in China.
There may be a chance that Chinese government is for this restriction as Chinese government hasn’t confirmed being behind this inaccessible Gmail service nor has denied to it.
“The past two years have seen a consistent tightening of all kinds of censorship on the internet and media,” founder of Beijing-based media tracker Danwei, Jeremy Goldkorn informed.
“There is an increasingly aggressive attitude towards what they [Beijing] call ‘internet sovereignty’ and they are confident about talking about internet censorship in positive terms.”
Internet Explorer May Just Go Away
If you ever wished that maybe Microsoft should just kill off Internet Explorer already, you might just get your wish this time.
Over the time, the browser has become vulnerable to bugs, an uncountable number of security problems and out-of-date technology. Well, it is evident that Internet Explorer has improved very well lately; it fails to stand the ground against the rival browsers.
A long time ago IE was the most sought after and preferable browser but with time the browser failed to deliver optimum what it was expected to. The browser even faced the fall in share by 50% in 2010 and went down to 20% in October. Right now Chrome is ruling the market with 48% share of the market.
Microsoft affirmed big some tweaks for the browser in this summer. However, there may be chances that one of these tweaks may contain the unlikely concept of replacing the IE with a new browser.
There are reports that Microsoft may introduce a new browser that is codenamed “Spartan.” It would roll out with Windows 10 this year and will function similar to Chrome and Firefox.
Microsoft wasn’t available for any comment.
A different platform is assumed to be used to build Spartan, so that it would be backwards-compatible, as reports suggested. It means that most probably Microsoft will continue to stick with IE but ensure that the corporate applications function properly on it.
The reason being that mostly company IT departments and government build custom applications and are very slow to select new browser versions. That is why the basic and the most-used version of Internet Explorer persistently remained the IE 8 that first rolled out in 2009.
It is still not sure if IE will run out just like that but still this could mean that later someday, Microsoft may give the browser a retreat.
