OK, some guys who wanted Linux back on the PS3 have pretty much shown how sucky the PS3's security system is. These fail0verflow people basically found a massive hole in the security which on a conventional secure machine, needs a random number response. They found that the random number is the same every time.

Using this, they could grab the keys needed to sign software. This is a hardware feature so all PS3's can now have code signed on any firmware. It's basically now as secure as a Dreamcast. They even found the PSP keys in the PS3 system files.

Basically, no dongles will be needed and anyone is going to e able to install anything to their PS3. Custom firmware, Linux, ISOLoaders, you name it.

Only bad thing is that PSN is going to be loaded with cheaters...

You left out the best part. I'm pretty sure the fail0verflow guys were the oens who said it.

Basically, the only thing that kept people from hacking the PS3 was with Linux, nobody was really trying to crack the PS3's security system. So dropping Linux? Good plan, guys.
