yeah hmm i forgot even with the usb dongle THING you have to hit eject within 200ms or something, i guess no matter what I have to get off the couch for now
you guys need to remember that the exploit at this stage gives access to the game OS or whatever they call it, not the PS3 kernel. They need to find another exploit to even have the ability to install a permanent replacement firmware (please don't refer to it as CFW, that's a PSP term). So my point is there is absolutely no reason to think that the PS3 can be fully rooted any time soon, unless you are confident that there are more bugs to exploit in their device architecture. The kernel is running on an isolated hardware environment (SPU), so it isn't supposed to be possible to do this. Hopefully, there are some more bugs, and the increased attention brings them to light. But I'm not holding my breath.
