Whew!

Good thing I didn't sign up for the Hello, Kitty MMO then.

Grats!

Sometimes, dreams *do* come true. Cheers, mate.

Nope, not gonna do it

I refuse to read anything Star Wars from this point on, just in case I do decide I want to see it after all.

"all children"?

I'd hope they were aiming for kids already exhibiting a sense of flair.

OMG!

Must have the flamingos!!!

catching terrorists?

Isn't that what we pay the 3-letter agencies to do? Are they saying they're incompetent at their jobs? That all the domestic spying they engage in doesn't produce shit?

"people that really understand what's happening."

Indeed, Mr Trump should hire some of those, they might be able to teach him.

not clear whether any useful intelligence was ever produced

Well, with Second Life, there may at least have been some happy endings.

VTech?

Didn't they use to make cordless phones/answering machines?

Typical

Still no guidance to employees on how to handle guest inquiries if we're asked about this but I suppose that would require Hilton telling us that the breach had occurred.

What?!

No "I don't believe anything I read online" option?

More proof

... that cats are awesome. (as if any were needed)

If those were the tasks

I'd have a digital literacy in the negative range.

I did my part :)

LG must be thrilled I upgraded my Tribute to a Tribute 2.

Hesitant to say ...

what the first picture reminds me of.

Stunning!

Wow, that Hilton in the picture is way nicer looking than ours.

hmmm ...

So, the one run by Meg goes down while the one not run by Meg goes up?

... exec in charge of ...

They're always the last to know, poor things.

What does Cyber Monday have to do with anything?

Does Ms. Brooks think those retail sales will be driven by ads viewed on the newly-free Sun website?

e-mailed ransom demand?

from extortionist72@gmail.com?

Nooooooooooo!

Not bacon!

To be popularly known as

Bullshit audio.

How much?

How much would it have cost Apple to license the patent? Perhaps it was a cost/benefits decision to simply pinch it.

Why bother with updates ...

When they can just sell you a new phone? I mean, if you're *really* that worried, you'll spring for one, right?

I can see how people who prefer flagships might be hesitant with this approach, perhaps, but maybe if people stop buying flagships and switch to cheap land-fill models instead, manufacturers might get the message.

even more gladder now

that I switched to TWC a few months back.

no bumpers

I don't understand this "style" trend of no bumpers. Looks like even knocking into a shopping cart would cause major damage to that grill.

Geez ...

Wish I'd known about these transplants back when I might have been able to afford one.

Are the cards tamper-proof?

You know, like if thieves steal them from mailboxes during the mass distribution?

Nothing reassures a customer like an oblivious "Huh?"

“There is increasing recognition that how an organization responds to the compromise of customer data can impact its long-term prospects as deeply as the incident itself," he added.

While Hilton publicly acknowledged the recent C/C breach faster than last year's breach of the HHonors rewards system, in neither instance did they send out anything to inform employees that the incidents occurred or, more importantly, how we should respond to possible guest inquiries regarding them. Even something like "I have little information myself but Hilton has set up a toll-free number you can call to speak to someone regarding that" would, I think, be a no-brainer.

Instead, we, like everyone else, only learn about it from the newspapers and are given no guidance on handling a situation where we may be asked about it. Nothing reassures a customer like an oblivious "Huh?"
