Vive la resistance: PS3 hacker “Geohot” announces PS3′s “Other OS” option is back!

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand the basic problem that knee jerk reactions cause. In the case of Sony and the axing of the other os option for “fat” PS3′s in the recent 3.21 update, Sony simply took the easy route out.

Have you ever seen such a “modern” OS running on such a mobile device? Then again, if you call a 90+ minute boot-up time “modern” or “fast”, you deserve to be drop kicked in the face.
