Bitcoin's elusive creator allegedly found... again
Because Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto has chosen to remain anonymous, the whole world is obsessed with unmasking him, her or them. This obsession has gotten to the point where reporters have harassed an elderly Californian with the same name on a multi-car chase through LA. Now, however, an anonymous hacker (oh, the irony) claims to have gained access to Nakamoto's public email address - promising to reveal all if they receive a bounty of 25 Bitcoin, or $11,600 at current rates. According to the hacker's missive on the P2P Foundation website, Nakamoto had failed to configure Tor properly back in 2010, leaving him open to an attack. We just wonder how the anonymous hacker would feel if someone turned the tables on them.
Kaz: 15 titles for launch
Sony's Kaz Hirai commented to news site Bloomberg that he expects the company's Playstation 3 to launch with 15 titles this November. This is in contrast to what some third-party higher-ups have been saying, including Sega's Simon Jeffrey and THQ's Brian Farrell. Jeffrey's argument stems from third parties apparently not receiving finalized dev kits yet, which is reportedly supposed to occur this month, where Farrell's recent comments towards choosing to not release a version of the upcoming Sopranos game on the system as it is "too risky" to attempt without final hardware specs form the basis for his disagreement.
