Could Sony's Business Models, and the way they have extremely peeved more than one customer with their "pay for what you own a second time, even though we promised you wouldn't have to when we convinced you too invest" policy, be a bit of a motivation for the hacking? Or they just a juicy target with their easy payment for impulse buying model they make everyone fork over their info just to participate?
NOT that I think MS Xbox is that great either, but I hope Sony gets hurt badly from this, really bad, and the rest of the industry says, "Gee, maybe we should learn from Sony's mistakes"?
Now if someone could just turn the Cable Companies and Auto Manufacturers on their head with their PROPRIETARY business models, eliminate competition and so we don't actually have to efficient or responsive, just nickel and dime the customer to death.
NOTE: Auto Manufacturers do compete for car sales, its after the sale, try to have a small independent shop or do it yourself for anything other than fluid changes, your stuck with only the dealer able to access the PROPRIETARY systems, and the dealer's service quality keeps slipping worse as prices goes up, because they don't have to compete, its NOT like the vehicle owner can go anywhere else.

You cannot change the Trans fluid in your new Chevy Pickup
I about fell out of my chair when I hear that .... but I understand a lot of car makers are like that ..... there is no pan you can take off ... you have to take the truck in and have the trans "Flushed" .... the average new car buyer runs 2-4 yrs why bother them with trans maintenance ... give me and old 302 / 351 and a C6 ... or a 10 yr old 4 speed auto

I have flushed transmissions myself, disconnect the return line from the cooler and run it to a bucket, as you idle the motor, pour in trans fluid at the same speed it comes out of the cooler line.You cannot change the Trans fluid in your new Chevy Pickup
Don't know if it will work on all trans, as well, its NOT without its risks of hurting the trans, but its possible it would work for your Chevy Pickup.
I have an autoenginuity on the way, its laptop software with a OBDII link and supposededly has most of manufacturers functions for these proprietary protocols use to do servicing and diagnosis.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
I hope it doesn't turn out like every other scan tool I was foolish enough to buy, they cost twice as much as they should and only provide half the functions you'd expect.

I have seen those ....... all my vehicles are ODB I or Points ignition
supposedly someone got 23 MPG in a Ford Bronco using the ODB II on a 96 (last yr bronco 1st yr ODB II) by closely monitoring driving .... I would think you could do something similar with a vacuum gauge .... my wife has a 96 Bronco
