Not asking people to be happy, just be understanding. Majority of complaints I see don't even mention this Geodude, it's all placed on Sony.

GeoHot hasn't done anything other than make a system open and SONY is removing an advertised feature. I don't know why you would blame him. Any time there is a close technology people find ways to break it open, that's how technology works. As I said before, People vs Companies, when it comes to security, is always in favor of People. A good company would know this. Even with what they are doing, the system will be forced open.

tl;dr It's solely Sony's fault because they really don't seem to understand how technology works.

So...just to clearify...you are trying to make Geodude look like the victim here? According to you, he's just doing his God given duty to be curious and what not and the evil Sony are just trying to shut him down? Just to clarify, is that a summary of your arguement?

You aren't great at reading comprehension it seems. No he is not the victim here. You are. He's just a guy who opens up a system. There are such people for EVERY piece of technology out there, it is inevitable. You are the guy who is fucked over by Sony.

My argument is that Sony are idiots because they don't seem to know how technology works. Whatever is done, a technology will be hacked open, that's the truth of it. The only way they will be able to make the console "secure" is by removing video playback and game playing as well.

Unncessary/10

I've never used the OS so I'm no victim

Just because everyone does it, doesn't make it right

I put it to you, that if they didn't protect their interest, they will be shafted by people who opt to pirate. They are in no position to shrug their shoulders and say "ces't la vie".

Pretty colours.

Oh goody, the pre-school coloring team joined in. I'm sorry I insulted your reading comprehension before. You obviously have yet to get to learning that skill yet, and later you might learn the basics of making arguments too.

Just because you don't use it doesn't make you any less of a victim. I bet you'd be whining and bitching if they removed movie playback, then again you in particular would probably say how it's awesome and amazing and it's what SONY should have done.

As for everybody does is != right. I would like to welcome you to the real world. Everybody does wrong things and no one is about to stop. The only way to deal with things like that is to take into account bad things that might happen. I also don't view opening up closed technology as bad at all, but that's a whole other issue I really don't want to debate with you.

The whole point I am making is that their interests are screwed anyhow, if you think this firmware will somehow keep people from circumventing it, then you are really lying to yourself. They should have totally just shrugged their shoulders because now they are egging people on to open up the system again. The only saving grace the PS3 has, really, is the saving grace that Macs have, its low numbers mean that anyone who hacks open the doors will not have as much clout as if they do something on the Wii or 360. However now SONY is just trying to fuck with people now, and I hope they are prepared for a shitstorm, because that's what they may get.

When it comes to security in technology there is one rule, don't piss off the masses because they can really fuck shit up. Too bad so few companies seem to know about it.
