PS3 security is "epic fail"

[nicholas]

Self signed homebrew is now possible after the PS3's private keys have been cracked.

AROS for PS3 anyone?

Excellent!!

Nothing is uncrackable.

Great...so now they will just update the system and make it as shit as the Xbox 360 BIOS/firmware you are forced to use to make sure nobody can have any fun at all

I guess you didn't RTFA.

We now have Sony's private keys that they use to sign the games you buy in the shops.

We can now sign our own homebrew demos/games/OS's using their keys and run them on unmodified PS3's as if they were signed by Sony.

No firmware update can do anything to stop this without rendering all previously released titles unusable.

I don't own a PS3 but I'm going to buy one now just to play around writing code for it.

I doubt I'll ever buy a game for it nor will I pirate any games either.

the makers of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus come with a new game called The Last Guardian....

these are just a few games that you will buy or pirate, thats for sure..

Don't judge me by your own standards. I don't steal so I won't pirate any games, I don't play games either so I won't buy any either.

Thanks Hammer,
That is the strongest argument I've heard against Android in a long time. My home State has started requiring hand free operation in vehicles as of Jan 1st.
Requiring an Internet connection is just stupid.

Its time consumer took a stand against devices that force specific "features" on us.

It's also complete bollox!

It doesn't require an internet connection to use my Bluetooth hands free adapter.

A question, Nicholas. Do Android devices have to be constantly connected to the Internet to have any real utility or are there enough non-cloud based apps to make it worth using when you're not connected. Because frankly I'm not convinced that 'Cloud Computing' isn't another enormous scam.

You don't need the internet for anything except installing apps from the market.

My 12yr old son's handset is NEVER connected to the internet except for when he visits me at weekends and uses my wifi to get more apps.
