It's called a DRIVER. Now you know the answer to the other question, Operating System. Or you would have at least seen the answer if some d1ckbahg hadn't overwritten it with "hardcore" (the people on this site are just sooo funny).

Why does a PlayStation need an operating system?
The hardware in a PlayStation is much more complex than in older console like the NES. The NES's hardware is simple enough that every cartridge could contain the information needed to control it. The PlayStation's hardware is much more complex, almost like that of a desktop computer. To make the task of making video games easier, as well as making them more portable to other consoles, the PlayStation needs to provide higher-level APis to control the hardware. This is the purpose of an operating system: so the program doesn't have to be large and know how to control the hardware, just do it's job.

You don't mention what you mean by "local security".
In general, this is not a question about an Operating System, but a security model. For example, a peer-to-peer network has little regard for security and does allow for local resource sharing.
Peer-to-peer networks can be implemented in most operating systems; it is just a matter of configuration.

The small screens on mobile devices mean a lot of scrolling down long windows, and on most of them that means having to scroll back up to the top of the page.
Android- Double-tap home screen button to see thumbnail previews of all home screens.
It varies from gadget to gadget, but it's not unusual to have as many as seven home screens that can hold all sorts of widgets and icons. While not every gadget enables the ability to double-tap the home button and see thumbnails of all of the home screens floating on the display, most do, or you can use third party launchers that add the feature.
iOS/ webOS- Take screenshots with key combinations.
The usefulness of this feature is quickly apparent when you use gadgets/platforms that can't do this. Android has long needed this, and finally catches up to the other two with Ice Cream Sandwich.
Android/ iOS- Drag app icons on top of another to organize them into folders.
One of the nicest features of Android is the multiple home screens that can be customized as desired.
iOS- Notification Center settings.
Android pioneered a good method for displaying notifications when they arrive, but the settings to control what is displayed is buried inside each app. Apple finally added good notifications to iOS5, and as they usually do they made them better. Most useful to me is the ability to control what notifications are displayed (and how) in the main Settings section.

One of the main goals of technology in today's world is to make faster, more efficient, and more easier to use. One of the easiest ways to do this is to make things "plug n play".
