A note to people interested in the exploit and retaining OtherOS support, DO NOT UPDATE. When 3.21 comes out, I will look into a safe way of updating to retain OtherOS support, perhaps something like Hellcat's Recovery Flasher. I never intended to touch CFW, but if that's how you want to play...
Two things, some people seem to think CFW will enable some sort of piracy. It won't. It'll just be a custom version of 3.21 that doesn't lose OtherOS support. Hacking isn't about getting what you didn't pay for, it's about making sure you do get what you did.
And this is about more than this feature right now. It's about whether these companies have the right to take away advertised features from a product you purchased. Imagine if an exploit were found in Safari on the iPhone, but instead of fixing it, Apple decides to pull web browsing altogether. Legally, they may be within their right to do so, but we have to show them it's the wrong move for the future of the product and the company.

Is there actually somewhere online where he said "Move on.." ?
cause If he actually wrote that somewhere, I'll probably reconsider waiting out on CFW

No he actually commented on his blog that he doesn't have enough time to work on the ps3 right now, and with his twitter saying that he didn't I'm sure thats towards everyone. I would try to find the post but you have probably seen how bad his blog is being attacked by spammers.
That Disqus profile is 100% legit.

if go to comments on his blog, and click sort by "Oldest Comments First" you'll see the second comment is by him saying "ok..." 2 weeks ago. and on the Disqus thing it shows that. so its him?
BUT I dont know, cause later on there's a comment by a user
"geohot" with a star beside his name. Which like shows who the blog owner is.. and disqus didnt document what he commented there.
Edit: Yeah okay the legit account is "geohot". the disqus thing is fake.
if you click the white circle beside "geohot" it says 157 points for him
but on disqus he only has 50 points.
Geohot never said move on..

Don't worry, if PS3 ever gets CFW. I am positive, there will be a way to downgrade or reinstate the other OS feature in latest firmwares. If
geohotz actually does something, a bunch of hackers and stuff will pick up on it and try doing things. But if he doesn't do anything. The nothing will come out for a long time. Unless the guy who hacked PSP hacks this
