I also don't have the choice of running an insecure version of SSH or Apache on my phone, "because I feel like it" or because I should have the option available to me.
If I was looking at cars, and Ford had an option that would slow my car down, and impede it's ability to take corners, I'd rather Ford not give me that option.
It's been five fucking years! Dark Alex hasn't put out firmware in at least a year!
If they were going to get him, they'd have gotten him already. Is it sue happy when someone's PROFITING off of pirating your software or circumventing your copy control? Would it be any different if Nintendo started suing everyone who sold the BannerBomb exploit?
No where in the article was OtherOS mentioned, nor was it ever mentioned why, just how. There have been efforts since the damn thing came out to hack the console and they haven't been very successful until about now. I'm not even sure if Geohot's work lead up to this, to be honest.
It is, but it's also on Sony if they want to make it as difficult as humanly possible, because in order to accomplish what you want, you're opening the system to being exploited for cheating, piracy, and other problems. do you not see how this is mutually exclusive to what you want? They can't leave the door open and say, "No pirates please." and expect that wish to be granted.
in order for a coal plant to generate the same amount of power in kW as an engine, it produces *less* CO2 and pollutants. Even if you're at the worst case scenario for grid power, you're still doing better than an internal combustion engine with gasoline.
Inconsistent rigs, inconsistent play experiences, having to chase an upgrade path every 2 or 3 years versus 5 to 6 to play games(Seriously, you take 250 bucks and buy a computer that'll do Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 at 1080p and act as a slick BluRay player.
For one thing, I meant "native" in the sense of "other than emulated games". For another, how do you recommend acquiring lawful ROM images of games for use with emulators?
console emulators, racing games, flight sims(the previous two are better with wheel or proper joystick but gamepad definitely trumps the keyboard in either case), some third person shooters and fighters.
R1/L1, R2/L2 has been around since the original PlayStation days. Plus the benefit of R1 being "fire" is that the way you grip it, it's like pulling an actual trigger. You don't need the smooth analog action of the R2/L2 buttons.
I don't know about the analog sticks being in the wrong place. I think that's just a matter of preference at this point.
They still haven't addressed the bigger problem of not being able to use this thing in USB mode via the play and charge kit. First it screws owners into buying A 20 or 30 dollar dongle to use it on a PC. Second when bringing spare controllers over it makes the syncing process difficult. Especially for people who do LAN parties and tournaments.

So instead of getting a consistent web experience you're basically deciding to play russian roulette with Flash content?
Brilliant.
It just works.
Except when the fucking browser crashes.

Samsung claims that bada will rapidly replace its proprietary feature phone platform, converting feature phones to smartphones.
From the linked wiki article.
I did read the fucking article.

The PS3Jailbreak device is selling a circumvention device that's advertised for piracy purposes.
Cry me a god damned river. If Dark aleX were in jail, sure, let's talk, but, he wasn't charging $150 for his services.

By people you mean, Geohot.
Are you sure people haven't been at this since the PS3 came out?

Never mind any of the other bonuses for driving an electric car, like, cheap refuels or maybe smoother and quieter rides. Nah, it's gotta be politics.
Aren't these far more popular on consoles? The only kart racing game I can think of on PC is Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing.
Also, sure, but that doesn't stop my PC loving friends from picking up Blur on PC rather than PS3 or Xbox.
Keyboard/mouse for Blur is like using a DDR pad to play Flight Sim.
You mean to say that if Sony let people run arbitrary code pirates wouldn't want to try to exploit the system to play ISO dumps?
Do you understand how ridiculous that is?
Do you still believe in Santa Claus?
Do you want this 20 acres of swampland in Arizona I've got?
Or fix the USB bug that allows this exploit to work.
Which is more reasonable and cheaper?
Because PCs suck for gaming.

Piracy, online cheating, support hassles? These don't ring like a reason why a company would care?
bada? I wonder what the default search tool is on it...
But bada from the wiki article you linked to is just for 'dumb' phones. Smart phones? Future is Andriod(for everyone but Apple).
iPad supports ePub and PDF.
You can already sell straight to iPad users.

Don't.
You can transport six kids in a honda civic, two of them just have to ride in the trunk.
Okay you can't legally transport six kids in a honda civic.
or using a UPNP server that transcodes to h.264 anyway.
AppleTV still supports UPNP.
you mean, Apple TV. iTV doesn't support 1080p, they only broadcast in 1080i

Don't chop it.

That combined with a $5 cable from elsewhere, and no, you don't have to chop up the cable.
