Sony Hack/The Interview Release Update

Sony has caved to more of the hackers demands. TMZ reports that Sony immediately wiped all traces of The Interview from its social media upon receiving a new threat on Friday morning. Additionally, the hackers released a statement on Saturday afternoon:
"The result of investigation by FBI is so excellent that you might have seen what we were doing with your own eyes. We congratulate you success. FBI is the BEST in the world." The message was linked to a YouTube video featuring dancing happy faces, titled "you are an idiot."

And after initially stating that they were shelving The Interview permanently, Sony is now saying that the movie will be released after all, Us Weekly reports. Still no word on a new release date or mode of distribution. (Note to Sony: I hear that iTunes is a place where people rent and buy movies when theatres won't play them. Just saying)
