    You have a choice . . .

    Many people have said they just unplugged the thing. Subsequently they have not lost the feature they paid for. Simple enough, sony is not sending ninjas to break into your home and update your console. They are not suing you to have it updated. They also are not taking away your ability to play new games. You bought it when the "features" were the games out when purchased. If you want new "features" they want you to stop using alternate OS's. But it is your choice.

    Lose something to gain something else or maintain the status quo. It appears to me most people feel entitled to all sorts of free stuff. I have no sympathy for you.

    Re: This goes hand in hand with cloud privacy rights...

    Just a technical correction on the comment ". . .the rights granted by the constitution." The US constitution does not "grant" rights to people, it limits the power of government. The tenth amendment was put in to make that fact very explicit because it is an extremely important one and is often forgotten.

    From memory because i think this window might crash if i look it up and I'm lazy - "The powers not delegated to the united states by the constitution, nor prohibited to the states thereby, are reserved to the states respectively or to the people."

    RE:Seinfield & Gates-Boring & Bizarre!

    "Granted, the new "I'm a PC" only helps to demonstrate that the Gates Gang has never been original. They've tried to rip-off Apple from the get-go. Why change now?"

    Mr. KFadams allow me to indulge you in a little history lesson.
    Microsoft started in 1975 as a software company that released the basic programing language.
    Apple started in in 1976 with the apple 1 motherboard assembly that included no keyboard or monitor.
    I'll grant you that Mac did release the first GUI on the market, albeit far inferior to windows it was 2 years ahead of its time.
    in 1994 Mac realized that it was way behind the power curve due to it dependence on hardware. It could not adapt easily to newer faster machines. Windows was rocketing ahead with every release of newer, faster hardware.
    In 1997 Mac signs a deal with Microsoft that will allow them to incorporate elements of the Microsoft office suite into their new OS. Microsoft is still the industry leader at this point.
    in 2001 apple switched it OS over to be based on a unix kernel and in 2005 they handed over their processors in favor of intel's.
    So you see Mac has come out of the dark ages and barely clawed out a market share against microsoft and the other PC makers by simply becoming another PC. Which was a good choice because Mac has almost always been a decaying bloated giant still trying to ride the wave of its initial sucess by constantly introducing inferior computer's to microsoft and PC hardware.
    Mac just can't innovate fast enough. The iPod was great, till the Zune, The iPhone is cool, unless you have a blackberry. There actually is a reason microsoft has the computing world by the balls, because it is better. So drop out of art history, trash the iBook, pick up a good laptop and take an econ class. Then maybe you'll nderstand.
