OtherOS != PS3 Linux. The OtherOS boots as fast as the GameOS does (read;
hypervisor), whereas in the former you are not allowed to run unsigned code
and to use the 3D context of the RSX, as we all know. When you program games
for the PS3 you are still warped by the same hypervisor. The OtherOS isn't
that different from the GameOS! So what you make out of the OtherOS is all
yours. Instead of writing a Linux kernel into the 4MB flash memory you can
likewise write your own code in there doing what ever you want, booting a
homebrew environment in a fraction of a second etc. From there on you could
also have your media centers and emulatores running, similar like what you
would have to do under a hacked GameOS (XMB). It isn't that different.
Sure, 3D acceleration, PSN, and isoloades won't work from the OtherOS side,
but isoloaders and stuff are a different story altogether. There will be
many people out there just looking for an isoloader, granted, but saying
that homebrew always associates to isoloaders --
"What the 'scene'
describes as homebrew has NOTHING to do with running programs from otheros.
It's isoloaders, ..." -- is a bit over the top. No? What's teh scene you
are talking about then? You my perhaps find out that the scene consists of
people like you and me.
And why shouldn't they sell the stuff if it's legal? And in case you haven't
notice, the Jig by itself doesn't copy games. There are multiple uses for
the Jig. If anyone is going to use the Jig for copying games, go blame them
and not those who are working on the device or who want to use it in the very
name of homebrew.

Like I said, if their main intention was not to allow easy access to piracy, their first application could have been something else than easy access to piracy
No. That's kinda similar in wearing a mask pretending being someone else.
They are straight on saying what the device is capable of.

The backup launcher is/was 100% made by PSJailbreak guys right?
Nope. They may have get a copy of the source code, but *a guy with a debug
unit* xD has written the original Backup Launcher about three years ago.

@missile: ok, I understand
Reading a text in a more column-like fashion a bit easier. Ask the Japanese.
Well, even in science we do layout some articles, papers etc with more than
one column to give someone a quick read through a given paper. Reading a text
in a more column-like fashion lets you grasp things a lil faster. But be
warned, this isn't a universal truth and it also depends on the topic at hand.
