While Sony at first only extended a pair of sales it was holding as a make-good for the outage, which was reportedly caused by hackers, this is the first freebie it’s held out since the incident that started Christmas Eve and continued through Christmas and after.
The company wrote in blog post that all active members or those who were on a free trial of Plus on Dec. 25 will get an extra five days that should be automatically applied.
It also promises that “sometime this month” Sony will announce a 10% off discount code good for one use, off a total cart purchase in the PlayStation Store “as a thank you to all PSN members.”
The full blog post is below:
Happy New Year! Since access to PlayStation Network was impacted during the holidays, we wanted to show our appreciation for your patience by offering all PlayStation Plus members that had an active membership or free trial on December 25th a membership extension of five days. The extension will be automatically applied, so no action is necessary to receive the extension. We will post additional information here on PlayStation.Blog when the extension becomes available. If your membership or trial ends before the extension is available, you will receive five days of Plus to enjoy once the extension becomes available (we will notify you when).
In addition, sometime this month we will announce that for a limited time, we will be offering a 10 percent discount code good for a one-time discount off a total cart purchase in the PlayStation Store as a thank you to all PSN members.
This discount can be used toward content available on PS Store including blockbuster new releases, award winning indie games, game add-ons and season passes, and an enormous selection of TV and Movies.

After months of comments, discussions, hearings, statements, and delays, the FCC is reportedly preparing to vote on a new Open Internet Rule — net neutrality — at their February 26 meeting.
The Washington Post reports that FCC chairman Tom Wheeler is planning to circulate the draft proposal to the other members of the commission in January, in preparation for having it on the agenda at the FCC’s monthly open meeting the following month. The FCC’s February meeting is currently scheduled for Thursday, February 26.
It is still unclear what form the proposal is likely to take. Critics, consumer advocates, and the White House have all called for the FCC to adopt Title II-based regulation going forward, while ISPs have strenuously argued against it.
This month will mark the one-year anniversary of the old rule being struck down. The FCC voted to consider a new proposal in May, but that suggestion version of the rule met with an overwhelming, highly critical response from millions, including two FCC commissioners.
As the WaPo reports, a one-month window between circulating and voting on the proposal would indicate that Wheeler does not see the need for another protracted public comment (and reply-comment) period. The Post also points out that as the incoming Congress has a net neutrality bill in it’s sights, the FCC is likely to face opposition on all fronts… no matter what the proposed rule says.

Many sites block people from registering terrible passwords like “Password123,” but others leave us to our own idiocy. Even less obvious passwords than that are susceptible. That’s why iDict, an ostensible iCloud account-hacking tool uploaded to GitHub, should serve as a reminder to us all to change our passwords to something a little less obvious.
The key isn’t the program itself, but the weakness it’s meant to exploit: iDict is a tool that tries all 500 of the common passwords in the program’s dictionary to find out whether you’re using Satan666, Jesus123, ZAQ!1qaz, or any of the 497 other passwords pre-loaded in the program. The author says that the release is meant to prompt Apple to fix the security loophole that it exploits. Don’t download it and go password-cracking: that’s not really what it’s meant for.
Do read over the list of passwords in its dictionary to find out whether you’re using any of them. If you are, change your password.

“A technical issue relating to servers” is the reason ESPN’s spokesman gave the Associated Press for whatever it was that caused yesterday’s streaming coverage blackout.
That meant anyone trying to watch the game on tablets and computers were left staring at an error message for around the first hour of the stream, with other viewers saying they had problems for “a while longer” than that, the spokesman confirmed.
ESPN said today that it “will be working to prevent a recurrence in the future,” while your father-in-law is still cursing over the hour of his life that he will never get back.

It sounds like he’s been here before — the suspect has a history of indecent acts, including stroking women’s hair while touching himself on buses in Oregon, reports KPTV.com.
the 27-year-old suspect was arrested this time after cops said he cut a woman’s hair at a Dollar Tree store. He allegedly followed a 31-year-old woman around the store and snipped her hair with scissors as she waited to check out, and then quickly left the store.
Officers apprehended him later, and he was arrested on charges of harassment and parole violation.
In the previous incidents, he was accused of applying glue to women’s hair on the bus before cutting it off and engaging himself in a not-so-private act.

As we hit the afternoon of second day of the new year, many Friends fans might already be eyeballs deep streaming the entire series after its Jan. 1 release on Netflix. But with the super fans come super powers of observation, including a discrepancy noticed by a Consumerist reader we’ll call Gunther. He wondered why the Netflix episodes seemed to be shorter by about three minutes on average than the episodes included in his complete DVD set, noting that the originally aired episodes would’ve been closer to the length of the Netflix episodes.
“I’ve been looking forward to seeing Friends on Netflix for months now. It finally hit the streaming service yesterday,” writes Gunther. “The problem is that the DVDs I have of the show average 25 minutes an episode and the shows on Netflix are averaging 22 minutes.”
He adds that there’s no mention on his DVD set that it’s an expanded edition, and on Netflix there’s nothing saying that the episodes are cut or clarifying that they’re shown “as originally aired.”
“What is going on?” Gunther asks.
It’s a good question, and one that has been answered before, at least in terms of varying episode length between different releases of this particular series. (If you’re worried about discrepancies in other shows and their various releases, well, that’s another question for another time.)
Back in 2012, TVGuide.com addressed the question of why the newly-released BluRay set of Friends touted lots of extra goodies and behind-the-scenes action, but didn’t include deleted footage that had previously been added to the DVD sets.
“The deleted footage was, frankly, added specifically for one home video release,” explained co-executive producer/director Kevin S. Bright. “If fans are particularly interested in additional footage, those versions are still available. But for this, we wanted something that we, the creators, felt represented the show as we always wanted it to be remembered, which is the original NBC broadcast versions, which have never before been released as that, combined with fantastic new picture and sound, a new documentary and other new features.”
We got in touch with a Netflix representative who confirmed to Consumerist that yes, the episodes airing on Netflix are the same length/content as those that aired originally on TV, which should be the same as those included in the BluRay sets.
Consumerist also reached out to Warner Bros. in regards to Gunther’s DVD set, and why, if indeed his claim is correct, there’s no indication that the episodes are longer than originally aired/contain deleted footage. We’ll update this post if we hear back.
In a blog post about the incident, the girl’s mother explained their daughter’s travel restrictions, adding that they purchase a seat for her, as the regulations require, but she isn’t physically able to sit up in it. Her parents hold her on their laps, as they would for a smaller child. This hadn’t been a problem during past travels for the family, but one literal-minded flight attendant on a United Airlines flight from the Dominican Republic wouldn’t tolerate this alternate seating arrangement.
The remaining 3 flight attendants pleaded our case, in fact one was in tears, but this one attendant dug her heels in and wouldn’t budge. The other 3 attendants scoured the Flight Attendants’ Handbook and found a clause that stated that if a passenger was unable to sit independently they were allowed to sit on a lap. She had the opportunity to make a justifiable exception and chose not to.
My husband pleaded with her, my other 3 children were sobbing, my niece was sobbing, other passengers were getting involved yet this woman still displayed zero compassion. The end result occurred when my husband finally approached the pilot and asked for help coming up with a solution that worked for everyone.
This compromise involved the girl being buckled into a seat per the regulations during takeoff and landing, with part of her body lying in her father’s lap. Her mother told ABC News that the family doesn’t want money or flight vouchers: what they want is an apology from United for the way the flight attendant treated them.

North America had its lowest number of folks heading to the movies in two decades in 2014, reports the Hollywood Reporter, citing about 1.2 billion consumers who purchased movie tickets between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31.
The last time things were this slow was 1995, when only 1.21 billion people went to the movies.
The figures for 2014 aren’t set in stone just yet — though without a working time machine it’d be tough to go back and change them that much — as they won’t be released until the National Association of Theater Owners calculates the average movie ticket price for the year. It’s expected to be around $8.15, up from $8.13 in 2013.
Admissions have been up and down over the years, HR notes, especially when there are more expensive fees for 3D or IMAX movies.
