It seems miffed Linux lovers aren't only ones wrong-eyeing Sony for the removal of the 'Other OS' install option from PS3 in the latest firmware update. The US Air Force isn't best pleased either.
The US Air Force slapped Sony with an order for 2,200 PS3s to boost its high-performance computing systems at the Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome, N.Y because it's the most cost-effective way to do so.
The mass of Sony hardware is interlinked, running Linux software - functionality which was removed from Sony's latest update. The rig apparently isn't under any immediate threat because it's not connected to PSN, but when the hardware starts breaking down replacements could be tough/impossible to find.
Surely a few Apache helicopters or a Harrier with missiles locked on SCEA boss Jack Tretton's house should patch things up. Nothing too crazy - just scare him a little.
