This is part of seriously bad trend that sets a low standard for the ability of any large government agency to oversee itself, let alone other agencies.
Is the department of defence and pentagon auditable? No.
Is the Justice department auditable? No.
Are environmental agencies effective? Not another oil spill again!
How is the private health insurance industry going? Free reign there?
How is public education going? Not so well.
Financial industries? The bill and dispossession notices are in the works.
Social Welfare? Get rid of that, since that is too strictly controllable, and the banksters need the money.
Government agencies are becoming totally incapable today of changing how things are done. Things still get done, but in an uncoordinated and unsustainable way. Evolution is now happening in the degradation and corruption of all beaureaucratic processes. Reports are not worth doing, because either they will contain heaps of lies, or nobody will act on them anyway.
Large corporations suffer the same failures of scale.
All large human organizations suffer from diseases of
rising entropy and energy costs, and irrelevance to the future.
Progress and History all mark time passing.
Not all the trends are good. Innovation is how
we meet the next challange caused by our previous innovations.
There must be ends and limits to innovations, just like there are to resources and sinks. Physics, chemistry and gravity all have hard limits. Oil is running out, as is the capacity to burn fossil fuels. Innovation here means not burning fossil fuels. Go to it.
Advertising a feature, selling it, then removing it because users took unfair advantage of it, by installing non-propriety software, looks just like an anti-competitive and deceitful practice. It shows Sony cannot be trusted. If Sony objects because it does not get the extra revenue from machines sold below cost, as they were not used for a game platform, it could either bring out a more expensive version of PS3 that accounts for the difference, perhaps with hardware features to make it more attractive, or provide firmware upgrades with the extra OS support for a price. Product differentiation for different markets should be a sign of corporate sophistication, and its absences indicates a bullish stupidity and market unawareness. Perhaps there is a development cost to the extra OS support, and this was a simple lobotomised cost cutting. The number of pure game consoles probably far exceeds those used for esoteric purposes.
Unregulatable, Unauditable, Uncontrolled

Bye bye newspapers
Good riddence to newspapers. A total waste of trees
