Comment on PS3 Owner Gets “$100 Rebate” for Loss of Linux Support by Char:

I have to disagree I have a lot of home brew on my Wii but few pirated games.
Call me old fashion but I find it morally wrong when a company forgets business rule #1 the customer is always right.
If the customer is unhappy then they have to make it right.
If I have to ever use the new broken firmware to play a game the game goes back and the PS3 goes on ebay.
That or I might take it to the shooting range and introduce it to my 30.06.
Sony BMG already lost me as a customer forever for the root kits even though I was smart enough to never get it installed.
CDs were ripped on a Mac or Linux machine or they got the marker treatment.
The stuff they did on blue ray discs such as down grading unapproved display devices is just criminal and it will cause more pirating.

PS3 Owner Gets “$100 Rebate” for Loss of Linux Support:

Sony likely will pay for this move. They could have kept piracy in check by simply giving every copy of a game a unique ID and if an ID ended up being used multiple times lets say three copies with the same ID appear at once it means this copy was pirated. Just yank that ID so it can’t be used on the PSN. What Sony does not understand is the simple fact there will always be some piracy. Controlling piracy is like controlling pests in crops. You just have to accept there always will be some …

ChaosAngelZero said: The fact that no one uses Linux <b>and</b> play games on it doesn't stop Sony's move from qualifying as a perfect example of corporate SWINDLE. Also, PlayStation 3 <b>COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM</b>, lolololol, et cetera. They can no longer call it the PlayStation computer entertainment system in the EU and likely in the US as well. It'll have to be marketed as a game system or information appliance but they can't use the word …

The EU may have it’s problems but here they do the right right thing and look out for the customer. I also commend them for ruling against software patents.

It was the only reason Sony did not have to pay cat and mouse like Microsoft or just accept a certain level of it like Nintendo. In the end this will just hurt them. Linux is the only way to get a usable browser or a usable media center on the unit. XMBC puts the built in media center to complete shame.

Who knows they may actually be made from plastic forks.

There’s a big difference between painting your nails and putting more bling on them then then found on a typical dekotora truck.

Worse still how the hell does she wipe her ass. Does she have to hold it in all day until that shit is taken off or does she have a butt butler to handle that?

Most of these are just tacky and gross.
Xbox One “Clearly Inferior” To PS4, Sony Stock Surges:

The truth is both products are crap but the no used game thing makes the Xbox one a little crappier. As for ram that remains to be seen the Xbox could actually be faster in practice if the video chip has it’s own dedicated ram despite the lower specs. Then there’s the 3d APIs and game engines which can matter more then the hardware.
