Who is that woman I see walking with Home Boy there? Where he goes, so does she. It's like she's a shadow or something.

First Sergeant, I think it may be his sister, Kim Yo-jong. Here's an article with more information about her: http://www.scmp.com/news/asia/article/1650100/north-korean-leader-kim-jong-uns-sister-named-senior-official .

Rising star of Kim Jong-un’s little sister Kim Yo-jong
Senior title given to sibling of North Korean dictator is a reflection of increasing influence, though her exact role appears hard to pin down

I have a feeling that losing internet in NK is as much of an economic shift as us having cspan removed from our cable packages.

It's not hard to do if the strongest computer the country's got is a Commodore-64.

OH please...it's not like the Hermit Kingdom had much of a cyber footprint to start with. I'm betting it's all their exterior connections to the real world.

There are only about 1,000 Internet addresses in the country. By comparison, Afghanistan has about 100 times the number of Internet hookups. Almost anyone, from a competent hacker in his mom's basement to the NSA, could have derailed North Korea's minuscule Internet connections. In other words, temporarily taking out the Hermit Kingdom's access to YouTube for 10 hours or so is a weekend project -- not exactly the proportional response you would expect from a country like the United States against our most recent serious act of cyberwarfare / terrorism. Thanks to whomever tried to bring this home to North Korea. Now, when is our own government going to get going?

Downing North Korea's Internet not much of a scalp
If someone did just knock North Korea off the Internet for half a day, it wouldn't have taken much.

true, and Afghanistan has 3/4G cell connection and places that still have no running water.

If the blackout was an act of retaliation by the US, it was largely a symbolic one: most of North Korea's hackers are thought to be based in China, and the hackers behind the Sony attack used servers in Bolivia, Thailand, and Singapore. An attack is not the only reason the North Korean connection could have gone down. It could have been overloaded, failed because of maintenance issues, or pre-emptively taken offline by North Korea itself. It also could have been cut off by China, which manages most of the country's connections. If our country's efforts took North Korea off-line for a bit, the Obama Administration is being uncharacteristically quiet about it.

The only person this affects is the dictator himself and maybe a handful of people. It would be interesting if is actually involved with this since they are North Korea's only "ally."
North Korea is once again throwing a temper tantrum and looking a fool.

I seriously doubt many NK citizens felt the pain of not having the internet since many of them do not have internet in the first place. I think NK just wants to appear weak to a strong opponent. Its a tactic coined by Sun Tzu but 4 internet portals?
