Weeeee, someone got around to saying how I was feeling, now I don't have to do the work, or maybe I will, dunno yet. But...just in case you don't know, take a look at what Wil Shipley wrote, I thought I was in the minority as far as this went, but more and more people are speaking up.

Somewhere, Steve Jobs is saying "Curses! someone just outed my super secret plans for world domination" or whatever appropiate saying Corporate executives say, when their dastardly deeds are shown in the light.

Sony and the rootkit legacy lives on...Happy Halloween

It just as lame as the Sony PSP no Homebrew I'm not buying it. Sony, Apple, Micro$oft have issues with all their products.

I think it is rather funny how Sony and Apple have replaced Microsoft as the evil empires. No third party support in the iphone, Sony updates that brick the PSP. Seriously these guys are taking lessons from the RIAA, piss off your consumers and then screw them over. Although what is going to be interesting is the fact that AnyDVD by slysoft broke the encryption scheme used by Blu-ray. BD+, This will leave Sony little alternative.

There exists in the current Blu-ray DRM a code that when enabled will essentially brick the blu-ray player that plays a pirated copy. This feature was not enabled by default in existing blu-ray players, but it can be enabled with firmware updates. All those PS3s' with internet connections, have just become glorified electronic bricks waiting to happen.

Do you think that Sony is even considering the end user who bought the machine? The company who bought rootkits to cds, who mismanaged their electronic market share.
