Did Sony consider the customer's rights when deciding to install the infamous rootkit? 2. Does Sony feel remorse for creating huge security vulnerabilities in it's customer's PCs? 3. Did Sony really think they'd get away with it? 4. Is Sony feeling pretty stupid right now? ...and the big one: 5. Does Sony actually give a fuck about the people who buy it's products? Sorry Sony, you failed. You will not be allowed to enter this my house again. 3 to 5 questions, right?

1. Did Sony consider the customer’s rights when deciding to install the infamous rootkit?

2. Does Sony feel remorse for creating huge security vulnerabilities in it’s customer’s PCs?

3. Did Sony really think they’d get away with it?

4. Is Sony feeling pretty stupid right now?

…and the big one:

5. Does Sony actually give a fuck about the people who buy it’s products?

Sorry Sony, you failed. You will not be allowed to enter this my house again.

"Lie detectors" are snake oil. They're valuable for the confessions they worm out of people, and nothing more. Anyone with the slightest knowledge that the machines don't work isn't going to be deterred, and very likely will be falsely flagged as "no problem". On the other hand, thousands of people per day will be flagged in every busy airport as lying. Great idea. This is exactly right. “Lie detectors” are snake oil.

Then they go away for about 1/2 an hour to stress you out even more and them come back and give you ha intorgation where they basiclay assuce you of the crime and try and trick you into admiting you commited the crime by trying to confuse you that you said you did it . After 5 hours of polygraph test and intorogation they decided I was inocent and just let me go . Ive been through a polygraph test by the US police and it comes down

It has been proven unreliable as a lie-detection method by many studies over a long history. This is yet another example of methods whose only value is to stress people to see if they appear nervous. In the hands of untrained security staff, it's worse than useless. Voice stress analysis is snake oil. It has been proven unreliable as a lie-detection method by many studies over a long history.
