I don't feel sad.. they deserve it.. first they advertise a product with a certain feature (OtherOS).. then they send a update and remove it (3.21).. thirdly, they sue a hacker who was trying to bring back that feature (geohot)... they deserve it..
Moreover, PS3 is the only product in the history of tech which has lost feature with every firmware update.. for instance, SACD playback, PS3 emulation, OtherOS etc.. Tomorrow, they'll release an update which will disable the playback of Blu-Ray movies on it coz their standalone Blu-Ray players aren't selling well..
Payback's a *****, ain't it Sony..
God, I feel so happy when something wrong happens to either Sony or Apple..

Well, companies storing passwords and secure information in plain text, is complete bullsh1t. Few months before, the famous PG, ccAvenue caught with their pants down. *sigh*
BTW Sony deserves this. After all the inconvenience it caused to it's customers with PS3...

<Fyad> When I bought siemens cellphone, siemens sold its cellular section. When I bought yakumo screen, yakumo got bunkrupt. When I bought fujitsu-siemens laptop, siemens sold its share.

People are still crying over linux support. We know that was to evade tax in the EU which failed.
But later PS3 was hacked. Yes long back. So they blocked other OS. I mean seriously why else would they do that. "Hey we like screwing up our customers lets put up an update which is a hidden downgrade". Seriously. No. Geohotz case has been settled in court. Which is law. Are you saying that you can actually scrutinize about justice meted out to him. He hacked the PS3. Hack=Piracy. Sony said we dont want piracy. Is that wrong?
Ofcource 0.00067% of the users were genuinly going to use the exploit to install Linux. I dont fall in that but I would still rant? Yes. Am I justified? No
I still have that crack file sitting in my PC. I never installed it in my PS3.
I say all this coz I dont want the PS3 to die coz of piracy the way PC gaming is dying.
Sony screws up in one and only one department: Pricing
I dont know how many of you lost your CC details to that hack but I didnt. So I dont care much about it. All that bothers me is that PSN is down. Crap!

People like these are defaming the entire Hacker community. Hacker is to computers is like Plumbers is to pipe. As long as they keep their hacking to themselves, it is great but once they start messing with others pipes, it is invading other's piracy.
I totally support GeoHot, he kept his hacking to himself instead of going on and messing with others..but these guys, they are just ar$3h0l3s. The media will never get used to the term cracking, so it's worthless going on to differentiate between both of the terms, so as to keeping our name away from the dirt.
What Sony did to GeoHot was wrong, what these so-called hackers are doing to Sony proves the same unfair treatment. Does it make them any different from Sony?

Er Sony stored their customer data like credit card details in PLAIN TEXT for crying out loud. A CC detail among other important data as PLAIN TEXT. This from the same company who locks out its own customers and goes on and on with their irritating DRM schemes. The very same company can't even bother to encrypt critical customer details. Jesus wept.
If anyone who deserves being hacked it's Sony.
Sony has all the blame here. Will you blame thiefs if you go out of town leaving the main door of your house wide open?
