* Hey Sony, Don't Mess with Linux, Says PS3 Lawsuit

A San Francisco man filed a lawsuit seeking class-action status
against Sony for removing the option to install Linux on the PS3.
The complaint notes he "chose to purchase a PS3, as opposed to an
Xbox or a Wii, because it offered the Other OS feature...despite
the fact that the PS3 was substantially more expensive than other
gaming consoles." Read my take on the situation, and join the
debate in Comments.
