QUOTEWhat can we do with the keys?
With the keys, we can sign our own programs. We no longer have to hack the PS3 in order to run custom content, because our programs will have the signature that the system checks for. This means that now, somebody can make a program that will run on ANY PS3, regardless of it's firmware version or whether it's been modded or not. This opens the doors for anybody with a PS3 to develop content (not just hackers), and you don't need a hacked PS3 to run anything they make. This blows the PS3 wide open.

How douchey of you. The guy asks a question and you post a smiley? Very useful.
Rydian explained the uses of keys in his thread.

EDIT: Bulit beat me to it.

No (other than a "hello World!").

Not yet, but I suppose some people are in the mist of making something.

I think someone posted someone posted something about some sort of homwbrew in the thread... I'll go check.

EDIT: Can't find it, maybe I'm just imagining it.

Geohot went to Sony headquarters in Japan and on the desk, he found a key. Puzzled, he took it home and tried jamming it in his PS3's USB slot. Upon several attempts, he managed to get the key stuck inside. He realized he found a PS3 key. Now, people everywhere around the interwebz are sticking keys up their PS3's asses and finding out it fits, and thus, they are able to hack. The end.

AYEBEETROLOLLIN.

Nah, just kidding. Go here, foo! o3o

Not much use, seeing that they already posted the link up there, but now people everywhere (who have PS3s) are going to be looking forward to homebrew, and unfortunately, more online cheaters and pirates. o3o=b
