Nice that Sony took out the ability to install Linux on the slim PS3. How hard could it have been to have a left the feature in that is useful in a number of ways? Of course, they have recently announced the ability to post trophy acquisitions to Facebook.... but they take 'Other OS' support out?!
I run Yellow Dog 6.2 on my PS3, and it isn't too bad for web browsing (superior to the PS3 browser) and checking email, among other computing tasks. They crippled access to the full graphics capability of the machine, however, which created a much slower experience that you would expect. Perhaps Sony should put more effort into putting common computing tasks into their XMB... add an email client and improve the browser, at least.

As long as you had fuel in the tanks and jets.....
I recall something about the War of 1812....
Do they back up to tape or external USB drive?
I'm in the hospital with my so-called doctor,
and takes his syringe and says
"This is a cure for cancer!"
And I said "Maaaaan this isn't a cancer cure, it's HIV!"
So I took it and I threw it on the ground!

Isn't that your job?
Oooooo eeeeee! WhatApp with that? WhatApp with that?

Yah, at least make the laptop edible!
I know... but it's only one box, instead of two. It's capable of more!
You could not develop for the PS3 by using on-board Linux. There's a Cell SDK available, but that's about it.

Hehe... never a more opportune time to use that! If I had some points...
Heh... If only I had mod points!
What were you saying?
You mean "off"?
Woz's time for a comeback?
I need a geo-proxy of some kind.... any ideas? Thanks
You will be waiting for a long time, as I assume having their iPod OS replaced is not near the top of their feature list.
..because if he is not American, it's not terrorism, right? If not a troll, I hope this was a joke.
Or is this lawyer just a greedy bastard?
Hahah... is there any other kind?
Heh, idiot. I supposed the joke was lost on you, what with OS9 released some 22 years ago.
OS 9 is old news! Really old!
True. If only his product wasn't riding Windows' coattails. Similarily, WordPad is essentially the world's most popular word processor!
Christopher has worked on every release of Internet Explorer since version 2
And he's kept his job?!?
It's like a fistul of Hamiltons!
