In terms of private-key encryption, it's very easy to counter the improvement given by Grover's algorithm - just use double sized keys. Instead of using AES-128, use AES-256... This is because sqrt (2^256) = 2^128.
One of the reasons that there's no shortage of the Wii in Denmark might be that it's much cheaper to just buy it in some -currency country... I live in Denmark and I'm thinking of buying a Wii when I go for some travelling, and save about 45 euros, 335 kroner or 15% of the price.
to deal with the fact that we can't handle the computational complexity of quantum-level simulation of an entire mouse brain
Noone has ever proved (or gave very strong reasons for) the necessity of quantum-level simulations of brains, so I'd say your post is at least a bit misleading...
It is possible if you brute-force all the e-mail address space, and you don't really need to brute force it. Markov Chains and other techniques can help you reduce the number of possibilities to try.
Let's hope this project thought about this issue (for example, by generating quite long AND random addresses), I would suppose so but haven't checked.
If I buy a hardware HW player today, and in 3 years someone compromises the key, I'll probably be left with a warm brick!
That's the beauty of the free market; people who buy players from hardware makers who can't protect their keys adequately will suffer economical and psychological losses, thus contributing to the evolution of the human species as a whole, in a quasi-intelligent-designed manner. Their next buy will, with a higher probability, be a more "quality" product.
Even better idea: they crack a player key, and then keep using it to derive all the media keys of present, past and future movie releases. Everyone can watch every movie using its media key, and the DRM losers can't revoke any player key since they don't know which player was cracked.
DOWNSIDES:
1- Less convenient; software to view/rip the media has to either lookup the media keys on an online database or ask the user for the key (who will presumably get it from some forum, torrent, irc channel or whatever). 2- The big boys can sue the group/individual who is giving out the media keys (if they don't hide enough, which they can. Alternatively, they can sue the media keys online database, if it exists.
If you were so gifted, you would probably realize that what you just said is a load of bollocks. What makes you think that being a rock/metal fan makes you lose your hearing?
This thread (and news item, for that matter) is about the PS3, not about consoles in general. What I meant was that with the European and Australian version of the PS3 you just can't play all the PS2/PS1 games...
In many cases, the decisions made by the Xbox 360 team seem much more sensible than those of the PS3 team. Looking at this table, it's not hard to understand why the Xbox 360 is much cheaper and came out earlier than the PS3.
Killer asteroids have nothing to do with the other items you mentioned. A sufficiently big asteroid could wipe out a species (and it probably has, in the past).
3 squares = No known issues to date 2 squares = Should play on PLAYSTATION®3 with some minor issues 1 square = Should play on PLAYSTATION®3 with noticeable issues
However, the Portuguese version says, roughly:
3 squares = same as above 2 squares =... with noticeable issues 1 squares =... with intermittent problems
The other languages I know enough about to check (French, Italian, Spanish and Danish) say about the same thing as the Portuguese version. What's happening here?

Great, now Sony can put even more Blu-Ray diodes inside PS3s which will be sitting on shelves...

In case you didn't notice, youtube was mentioned in the story summary. It shouldn't have been, but it is there...
I would never say what the AACS key is... I just say what it is NOT (see sig).
To build nuclear bombs for use in holy/anti-"terrorism" wars?

Sony currently has 2 or 3 billion dollars of debt, so no, I don't think anyone would prefer to be Sony right now...
According to that webpage, it seems to work in linux too...

That's like telling the dead man "there are not many killers". What good does that do to him?
I know you posted several cautionary expressions throughout your post, but that "assuming they haven't restocked the piles" assumption is a big one!

To know why the PS3 will have a hard time succeeding, see the following link:

Actually, all devices can be what they want. As far as I know, no device which even wants anything has ever been created...
That's if you're not in Europe or Australia. If you are, you can change that to "playing some PS2 games".
What makes you think you should include killer asteroids with those other issues?
Killer asteroids have nothing to do with the other items you mentioned. A sufficiently big asteroid could wipe out a species (and it probably has, in the past).
Great, they corrected it, as far as I can see. They're probably reading slashdot.
That's the problem of using software emulation, and Sony will just have to live with it...
Weird, the english version has a legend saying:
... with noticeable issues ... with intermittent problems
3 squares = No known issues to date
2 squares = Should play on PLAYSTATION®3 with some minor issues
1 square = Should play on PLAYSTATION®3 with noticeable issues
However, the Portuguese version says, roughly:

Yeah right. I'm sure it didn't happen because Sony shot themselves in their feet repeatedly so far...
