Bluray cracked - posibly?
from http://www.hdtvblogger.com/
numerous independent reports that an exploit has been found on the PS3 that reveal the title/volume keys for Blu-ray disks using a PS3. The procedure involves some minor modding of the boot process and Linux.

Office weapons watch
A story to recant, A local taxi come to pick up a guy from work pulls up to the check point, guy jumps in, taxi driver pulls forward not reverse, the police shout “Stop Stop Stop” the taxi guys native language isn’t English and becomes flustered and continues forward and hits the barricade, the police officer draws his MP5k and cycles the bolt and levels it head height at the driver and shouts ‘this is your final warning - STOP’
Luckily the driver stopped otherwise it could have been very very messy.
