The reason, folks, I will be buying a PS3 is simple -- for GAMES. I don't need another computer (I have 7). I'm really not interested in whether I can take over the world with this thing. All I am concerned about is video games. Everything else to me is extra. I have computers to do all the cool things like run Linux, etc. If I want to mess with things of that nature I'll go to one of my computers. But when I go to my shiny new Playstation 3, I want to be playing insane c00l g@m3z and that is it.
"Linux might be more secure, but it is only as secure as the person who administrates the box."
I can't agree with you more. Alot of problems stem from the person in control of the system, either the home user or the system admin of a large domain. What it comes down to, IMHO, is that people need to take responsibility for their computers. Many home users try to hide behind the "I don't know anything about computer security" mask, but the information on how to be protected is on the same internet that they play games on all day long.
