One of my all time favorite movies growing up was Wargames. To this day it stands alone, as a movie the semi-accurately depicts what hacking was and what was involved. Our young hero David didn’t just click some keys really fast while a pseudo server graphically appeared and spun in circles while he beat his way into it. Instead they showed him spending months researching the network, it’s creator, all possibles connections. I especially loved the war dialing sequences. It was nothing less then a slice of Awesome!
So, in a further effort to destroy the happy memories of my childhood, Hollywood has decided to release this crap, and label it as a “sequel” to Wargames. It is called “Wargames : The Dead Code”. Here is the trailer.
Stephen Falken must be spinning in his grave, and probably wishes he had just let Joshua wipe us all off the planet the first time.
Ugh .. At least this is a straight to DVD experience and it won’t clutter up the theaters.
Pioneer entering the Blu-ray disc market. Good. New words added to the dictionary including FANBOYS and MALWARE. Sony keeps updating PS3 software. They had better get the PS4 going fast! New canon camera upstaged by Hasselblad 50 Megapixel camera. Huge Kodak sensor inside. Latest Yahoo-Microsoft news getting weird. IBM will be paid by state of NY to keep employees. Huh? Orkut fabulous in India. Nokia wastes money on research. Guess what they found out? Listen and find out.
