Powerful technologies can be used for powerful things. Blizzard hired the bittorrent developer to help it distribute patches for World of Warcraft. P2P isn't illegal, using it for stealing is... P2P doesn't steal files, users do.
I know those in the distributed computing field, render farmers,
folders and the like are pretty excited to get access to that
cell processor. Even if it is completely crippled.
By providing access to a development platform at such a low cost users are encouraged to program, learn and hopefully not brick their consoles. Do I expect Ps3 linux gaming to be anything special, not really, but if it provides access to the hardward, development tools then you'll see kids getting even more interested in becoming programmers since they'll have practical experience.
By going in slightly different directions AMD differentiates itself from Intel. There will be things it does better and it will prosper in those areas...
This goes under the category of basic internet security. Don't open files from people you don't know. And if you do get a wierd file from someone you don't know stop and think for 10 seconds about it before you open it.
Or, buy a mac.

I love the thinking in this report, look at total energy consumption for a given render... Brilliant... TCO FTW!
