Re: Typo?
Didn't realise Fail0verflow had been around that long, quite an impressive group all in all.

My first guess would be that whatever virtualisation system they used (Might have to be custom built for the architecture?) Would open them up to any number of exploits that could then be used to run code outside of that game sandbox. A lot of video game system exploits begin with a badly coded game being used to run arbitrary code. Giving people a space where they can run their own code straight from a console in a Linux "game" would likely not end well...
"There's a long way to go before it becomes an “anyone can do this” hack, but games console tinkerers fail0verflow have replicated their PlayStation 2 work, getting Linux to run on Sony's PlayStation 4."
Shouldn't that be Playstation 3 in the first sentence? Or did they work on breaking into the PS2 way back when as well?
I believe the author was talking about the Mac App Store, where users can download programs for their Mac OSX devices. Mainly because the only version of opera on iOS is Opera Mini. Here is the link to the current version of opera discussed in the article, http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/opera/id404764921?mt=12 and for comparison here is the Kindle page, http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/kindle/id405399194?mt=12, which lists the date of release as the 7th of Jan.
