Please there is no reason to use words that most people here don't know. Plenty of people who frequent HN are non native speakers of English.

Or, given that this is the internet, perhaps a "tl;dr" would be more appropriate.
* They have "decrypted all PSN functions."
* Sony spies on basically everything PS-related (hardware plugged in, games played, etc.) and uploads it. There are "independent checks" and history wipers, etc. don't work. This may only happen when the device is networked. They can detect backups, piracy, etc.
* It sends CC data, etc. via SSL, but leaves unencrypted logs on the HD that contain that data in the URLs visited. It may not have used SSL at all at launch.
* You can modify a few things when you download something from the PSN store to tell it that you should be getting the game for free.
* Sony monitors all messages sent over PSN, may be searching that for keywords.
* Has a big list of censor words that lives on your HD. Checks this list on receipt of a message, not sending. Easy to bypass now.
* Various worries about people creating spam apps with this data.
* Comments indicating that Sony is running old Apache servers with known vulnerabilities internally.
Watching this, I'm glad I don't have a PS3.
Also, I understand your point, but it isn't terribly difficult to Google "precis" and figure out the definition -- and once you do, you've added a new word to your vocabulary, which is hardly ever a bad thing.
Of course, I would have gone for tl;dr.
I think you might have done it again though; I am very unfamiliar with the use of the word "resume" to be synonymous with summary, especially when not dealing with a human history.
As for the alternative it was one of the things Google suggested.
