From the Computing Dictionary:
hacker definition - person, jargon (Originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe) 1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary. 2. One who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about programming... 8. (Deprecated) A malicious meddler who tries to discover sensitive information by poking around. Hence "password hacker", "network hacker". The correct term is cracker.
OK, so I might have the technical term wrong, but according to PSN, they were the victims of a malicious computer attack in which their security was breached and the personal information of its users was compromised. Which means that because someone was having a little "fun", millions of users now fear for their credit safety... and we're unable to watch Glee.
Tim realized last night that we can get Netflix on the Wii. Well, sort of. Some of the streaming videos available elsewhere are not available on the Wii... like Glee. We're batting 1000.
