in a nutshell:
" First, Linux is a valid reason for hacking the PS3 and nobody can prove if that is their true motive or not, you can only speculate.
AsbestOS has an advantage over the built-in OtherOS feature by Sony, because AsbestOS will most likely have more control over the PS3 hardware and have better performance than the limited OtherOS feature.
So really, AsbestOS could perform much better than Sony’s OtherOS ever did, because AsbestOS won’t cut you off from the RSX (Graphic Chip) and try to keep you in a sandbox for security reasons, which has the side-effect of reduced performance.
Next, for those of you who don’t understand yet, being able to sign our own files with Sony’s encryption will allow us to create our own software/homebrew and load it without even needing to jailbreak the PS3, because it will look like a legit piece of software from Sony.
Imagine being able to run all the Homebrew apps you run now, but being able to run them on an official v3.55+ firmware without even needing to hack the system. They just need to be updated with Sony’s keys so that the PS3 will accept them without needing to be hacked.
Basically we will have the ability to create our own custom updates that will work on a normal PS3 to update it directly from an official/normal firmware to a custom one without needing any modchips or dongles to do it, because the PS3 will accept the update that is signed using sony’s keys (which we now have).
Give it a few minutes for that to sink into your brain. You could probably program the PS3 to make you some toast bread using this new exploit.
So just sit back, enjoy the ride, and wait for the exploit work to be released and used to make magic stuff for us all to use."
- so let me get this straight, my ps3 will now be able to make me toast!? omg sweet.prophet
