PS3 Hacker Geohot on Lost Linux Support: Iâm Sorry
,----[ Quote ]
| Sony has only pinned the change on
| âsecurity concerns,â but hacker George
| âGeohotâ Hotz, who released the first-ever
| PS3 hack earlier this year (preceded by
| several high-profile iPhone jailbreaks),
| which could ultimately allow piracy or
| other nefarious uses of the consoles,
| believes he played a role:
|
| First off, I want to apologize to all
| the people who use Linux on their PS3.
| Before releasing, I weighed the pros
| and cons, and considered the
| possibility of an impact on OtherOS
| support. My logic was this. OtherOS
| support had already been removed from
| the Slim â The builders had apparently
| no intention of including it in future
| products. So for the purposes of
| openness why not release?

Geohot Looks To Enable Other OS Support For The PS3 3.21 Firmware
,----[ Quote ]
| It looks like Geohot (a famous hacker)
| isnât too happy that Sony will be removing
| Linux support from its upcoming PS3 3.21
| firmware, and the person who demoed an
| untethered iPhone jailbreak a short while
| ago, is determined to do something about
| it.

Hacker vows to avenge Sony's PS3 Linux cut-off
,----[ Quote ]
| Hacker Geohot claims he has a plan to
| permit PlayStation 3 (PS3) users to
| continue running Linux on the gaming
| system, despite Sony's announcement that it
| will block alternate operating system
| installs. On Sunday, Sony announced that a
| 3.21 update due on April 1 will prohibit
| the installation of alternate
| installations, due to security concerns.

The Return of Sony
,----[ Quote ]
| At its heart, Android is "just" Linux. Sony's
| no stranger to Linuxâthe PlayStation 2 and 3
| both have dabbled with Linux support. But
| Android is Linux-as-platform, a trusted and
| understood consumer branding. (Or, you know,
| that's the goal.) It is, as far as operating
| systems go, as good or better than anything
| Sony has ever cooked up themselves. Rather
| than spending years on disparate software
| platforms for each device, Sony's software
| engineers could spend their time building
| easy-to-use and beautiful user experiences on
| top of a unified platform. (Remind me again
| why the Sony Dash doesn't use Android?)
