Steve Ballmer took to the last CES show Microsoft is throwing for a while to tell you that you still can't access cable programming on the Xbox 360 unless you already have cable.

We're not going to pussyfoot around this: if you own a 360, and have credit card information tied to it, there's a possible security problem that affects you.

Let's review "binding arbitration": here's a fun game about how it's designed to screw the consumer in a kangaroo court.

Happy Black Friday everyone.
