Well, in that case the Linux desktop will be pretty successful, considering the amount of people, me included, that just wouldn't accept a cloud-based OS with a touch interface.

Or even from iTunes Music Store. They haven't had DRM on their music since march 2009.

I buy all my music from eMusic. It's a subscription based service and they sell you music from all but the biggest labels for about half the price of iTunes's.
All music is in high quality MP3's and once you bought them, you can download them again and again on any number of computers.

First post!

They have already worked (and continue to work) together in bringing Remote Play to some phones, so I don't think it would be impossible.

In the case of GCC, yes, but they could have kept WebKit, Darwin, LLVM, OpenSSH/SSL and lots of other source modifications to themselves if they wanted to.

Actually, it has both.

That's not iPods. They are called "ninja flash bombs".

Later PS3's only ship with two usb ports, and the wireless adapters for the instruments that come with games like Guitar Hero, has hubs in them so that you can daisychain them for up to four(?) instruments.
I'll guess they will make a lot of people (and game publishers) angry if they take that functionality away.

My guess is that they will just fix the heap overflow vulnerability in the next update and then start the detect/ban race that usually happens.

I like their TV's and the PS3, but I'm not exactly a fanboy. I don't think their business practices are much different than any of the giants'. I thought the rootkit scandal was embarrasing, but I don't get why MS got out of that mess so easily, while Sony became marked for life.
I tried to question an anti-sony rant here one time before, but got modded to hell (even though it turned out I was right), so at least I am very careful when trying to defend Sony.

Especially with your fingertips cut off.

NTFS-3G has had read/write support since at least 2006, and if ext2fsx is bad, try the Fuse version. It shouldn't be harder than to double click a couple of .pkgs! :-)

ext2/ext3 support here, and NTFS support here!

I have a few of these APC SurgeArrest to protect my equipment at home, and they are supposed to protect against lightning. They even offer a "Equipment Protection Policy guarantee" where they are supposed to compensate for any hardware destroyed by a surge, even though I haven't read the fine print on that one...

You could just make two .reg files, enable_fix.reg and disable_fix.reg, one which adds the relevant DWORD and one that removes it.

Now you can just double-click the appropriate .reg file to enable/disable the fix, and hope that regedit.exe itself is not vulnerable to this type of attack...

There was no "recent push" to crack the PS3. It has been a constant effort since the day of release 4 years ago. The reason Sony removed OtherOS was because of the first newsworthy breakthrough, even though it would have been highly unlikely that they would have succeeded that way.
