Sony Zaps PlayStation 3 'Install Other OS' Feature
,----[ Quote ]
| Sony's spin goes something like this: By
| removing the feature, the company says it
| "will help ensure that PS3 owners will
| continue to have access to the broad range
| of gaming and entertainment content from
| SCE and its content partners on a more
| secure system."
|
| Translation: You get something you already
| have ("access to [a] broad range of gaming"
| etc.) in trade for nothing, while Sony gets
| to close what it now deems a hacker
| loophole. What's good for Sony is good for
| you, in other words.
|
| Except when it's not (good for you, that
| is). Running Linux on the PS3 allows
| amateur developers to tinker with the PS3's
| Cell processor, Sony sanctioned, and cobble
| together home-baked utilities and games.
| It's also been used by researchers to build
| "discount supercomputers" to run scientific
| simulations that might otherwise "cost
| thousands of dollars." North Carolina State
| University professor Frank Mueller called
| it "$50,000 worth of computer power for a
| mere $5000."
|
| The majority reaction on Sony's PlayStation
| blog won't surprise anyone.

|
| Yes and no. On one hand you want to have a
| completely open environment, open standards
| and, where possible, open-source and a means
| of collaborating and sharing around a lot of
| things. On the other hand, giving the
| developers and the creators the freedom of
| choice and freedom of expression - the more
| you do that it really becomes difficult in
| terms of driving things in a very consistent
| manner.
