Sony's PS3 Drops Linux; Why You Should Care
,----[ Quote ]
| While Sony is pulling away from Linux and the
| community, we can't help but to think about
| the other end of the spectrum and a company
| that has fully supported the enthusiast
| community: id Software.
|
| Rather than increasing restrictions over
| time, id has a great history of decreasing
| restrictions over time. One good example is
| how they release the source code to their
| game engines via GPL after a reasonable
| amount of time. If Sony were following id's
| model they would be opening up RSX support in
| a future version of PS3 Linux as opposed to
| pulling it away.
|
| I sent a few quick questions to John Carmack,
| co-founder of id software, lead engineer of
| Armadillo Aerospace, Linux supporter, and an
| all-around good guy to get his thoughts on
| the situation.

Sony Deletes Feature On PS3's; You Don't Own What You Thought You Bought
,----[ Quote ]
| It used to be when you bought a product, you
| owned it. Simple, right? And once you owned
| it, you could do what you want with it? But,
| lately, thanks to digital products and an
| always connected world, many companies have
| changed things around -- so the products you
| thought you owned, you actually rent.
