So who cares if PS3 has their Rootkit security. This isn't windows. This isn't a PC OS. a PC OS has so many services that can be exploited for being the reason why rootkit was problematic. Heck I still see rootkit viruses. But the PS3 is a closed OS and isn't service heavy for software. And if anyone wanted to make malicious software for PS3 would be wasting their time affecting only a small tiny group of people.. total waste.
This reminds me of people terrified that the NDS can get a virus because of WiFi. It was those people that thought open communications == insecurity and couldn't understand that WiFi had nothing to do with. That's when I realized that posting more than once is usually pointless unless your trying remove stupidity for other people who reading posts and not the poster who is saying something stupid. NDS finally had a virus but it was a Trojan.
So seriously look at it in this light. It's perfectly ok that NDS will have remote code execution to update itself to prevent piracy, but it's not ok for Sony to use Rootkit based code? the difference is hyperbole. Rootkit has negative connotation and so considered not acceptable in any form.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
