    I think Sony's chief failure in this whole incident is that they believe their customers like to take it in the back-door as frequently and as messily as they do.

    For once the summary is good enough. We can't complain.

    I just imagine someone hacking their presentation at E3 while they're live onstage. That would be some serious lulz.

    so how does any of this relate to removing OtherOS anymore?

    You don't let people hack your consoles, they find something else to hack. Idle hands and all that. :)

    Where was the FBI when Sony hacked our systems?

    We KNOW where the ringleaders are who did that and I am also looking forward eagerly to the day when the ringleaders are forced to defend their actions in court.

    My guess is that yours comes first and mine won't come at all.

    So yeah, I stick it to the man, because there is REASON to do so.

    Well, no, I think this is one of the few times that the "terrorists", so to speak, actually won.

    10 years ago no one would have used the word "terrorists" (in quotations or otherwise) to describe straight forward black hat hacking.

    There are at least a hundred definitions of "terrorism" and they all include violence or the threat of violence.
    There's no violence here.
