Purported hack brings Linux back to the PS3

| updating their systems in order to keep
| from losing the option to install alternate
| operating systems have a new glimmer of
| hope. Hacker George Hotz (a.k.a Geohot) has
| released a video of a new hack that
| promises to keep the alternate OS install
| feature, even with the 3.21 firmware update
| that was released last week.

Sony Deletes Feature On PS3's; You Don't Own What You Thought You Bought

| 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.
