PS3 Root Key Found 380
An anonymous reader writes "The PlayStation 3 'root key' used for code signing has been found by GeoHot. This enables running homebrew without the need for psjailbreak-style USB-devices, and also provides hope for those at firmware version 3.55 that currently cannot be downgraded. The key also cannot be changed without hardware modifications. Oops."

Did you guys hear about the next firmware update that bricks the console? It's fine, they offer free replacements for anyone affected by it.

That sounds... very nice. I mean, assuming they are falling a long enough distance, that is.

*mumbles something about lawyers being full of hot air, thereby reducing terminal velocity to a survivable speed*

Geohot while he does help out with certain things, likes to take credit when it was really a group effort.
I don't like people that steel credit.
What lead you to that conclusion? :P

I don't like people who steel credit either. Or anyone who commits pewter fraud for that matter.

I'm sick of these sorts of comments. This is Slashdot people, news for nerds. Don't make these kinds of comments!
We will not know whether or not lawyers are full of hot air enough to reduce terminal velocity to a survivable speed, until we have taken a significantly large random sample, and dropped them from planes.
I suggest we take some aspiring lawyers, and use them as our control, as I couldn't bear the thought of accidentally killing someone who isn't a lawyer.
Scientific rigour, people. Use it!
