all i ever hear is:
you dont own YOUR this… you cant mod YOUR that.
he believes in freedom… DEATH SENTENCE FOR HIM!
She believes in openness… KILL HER.

i’m refering to the wikileaks and the console_hacking incidents,
let alone that people i know have been arrested and held in custody
for no real reason, just because they goto free raves and believe in freedom.
this is in UK i’m on about.

Earth calling George… Help us!

This rootkit will be exploited to allow unsigned code to be ran. MARK MY WORDS. Someone is working on it. Too bad Geohot got shafter by sony.

I wonder how long before someone figures out how to take over peoples PS3′s and run remote code. Not Long, I am sure. Sony should look into “LittleBlackBox” software going around. Firmware transmits the encryption keys within the Firmware. A database is being kept at code.google.com to aggregate all the keys that will allow even novice programmers to crack firmware of systems.

Is there anyway to sue them for this? As the rootkit was not on the machine when you bought it. And because it is a violation of privacy without even asking.
