Sony's R&D- Linux and PS3

Yousef writes "GameSpy has an interesting article about a presentation given by Sony's head of R&D for Entertainment. It appears that there are some very interesting things in store for the PS3, plus a complete Red Hat Linux installation for the PS2 and many other toys too. An interesting read."

    "Maybe Playstation 6 or 7 will be based on biotechnology...with protein," [Okamoto] quipped.
    When that time comes by, I guess biologists will be the ones to develop mod chips and the like. Maybe a real "virus" will infect it. What an interesting day that will be.

      Back of box:
      For external use only.
      If Playstation 6 contacts skin, flush with water for 15 minutes.
      Do not stare directly at Playstation 6.
      If Playstation 6 breaks open, run and take cover.

    What is the point, exactly?
    3D engine specs will never be published.
    Linux losers will be stuck with doing 2D polygons on a $299 console that they could do just as well on a $3 hercules MDA card.
