Well the PS3 security has been cracked wide open by the iphone guy. What will Sony shut down to combat this?

Well, according to the article, there's nothing Sony can do about this, short of giving up on the PS3 and launching the PS4. They brought it on themselves, though. Pissing off the script kiddies on 4chan is one thing, but pissing off the honest to goodness hackers, in the 1960's MIT sense of the word, is another thing entirely, and incredibly stupid. I feel bad for any developers that are hurt as a result of this, but i don't feel bad for Sony.

Edit: The cryptography mistake that allowed this to happen in the first place was incredibly dumb on Sony's part as well.
