    Faced with ships that might be being hacked, US Navy plans to use eminently hackable Microsoft Xbox in their periscope system. At least they’re cheap. They say it’s because it’s easier to train their sailors on it. Life in the Navy = Video game.

      Ender’s Game mixed with the Last Starfighter… But no.. Its not a problem. Video games have been simulating battlefield theatres for years now.. what would you call it?? I can see one of two things happening.. Either.. They’ll get really good at hitting targets.. those kids can over achieve in video games.. (when they’re not russian haxxors and cheat :x) or we’ll start seeing bongs and packets of crisps in navy battleship bridges… (if they’re not already there.. must have been really stoned to get rammed by civilian ships..)
