Sony Left Stranded Again!, PlayStation 3 Firmware 3.56 Hacked Already Read more: Technology | My Blog

Sony might have thought their move to sue GeoHot would put some sort of brakes toward the jailbreak doom its beloved gaming console is currently facing. Unfortunately designed for Sony, the latest PlayStation 3 firmware v3.56 got hacked in just 24 hours after its release. The custom firmware genius KaKaRoToKS, who was behind one of the initial 3.55 custom firmwares, has previously released the signing keys designed for 3.56 meaning custom firmware is soon to follow

However, it appears that the custom firmware designed for v3.56 won’t be that easy to build. According toward Engadget:

Panasonic ToughBook S9 Review

The ToughBook S9 has an unremarkable black lid, with ridges on either side of the center, and a simple silver body. Weighing in at 3 pounds even, it is lighter than many other competing business models, and even some netbooks. Part of the reason for this uncommonly light weight is that the body is made with the thinnest magnesium alloy available. While the case can easily be mistaken for plastic, it is more durable than acrylic alternatives and can withstand around 220 pounds of compression before beginning to buckle. Naturally, we tested this by standing on it, and the system held up perfectly

The lid itself flexes noticeably when twisted. Panasonic assures us this is an intentional accommodation for times when some flex is preferable to damage to the laptop, such as when it's stowed in an overhead bin on a plane. Indeed, when we twisted the screen past what would typically be a breaking point for comparable machines, the S9 sprung back without any damage.

With Clamshell Case and Handle iCapsule iPad Wireless Keyboard like iBook G3

It had candy similar to colors on its clamshell cover, and a grip so you can carry it around without a case. I had a fondness used for that iBook G3. The keyboard + case + handle combo concept of the iCapsule is reminiscent of that design.

The propose was establish as an FCC patent application, so we probably will not see the iCapsule on the shelves anytime soon. But if and once-it ever gets released, it will be a clamshell case that will give laptop like functionality to the iPad.

No word on pricing so far, but the iCapsule will be accepted under the RocketFish brand, which means it will expected be sold by Best Buy.

For Xbox 360 Sells 1 Million Units In 10 Days! Microsoft ‘Kinect’ Motion Sensor

Dozens considered to the Kinect sensor is an overpriced accessory before these figures, but its complete sell out at every one the main retailers during US says otherwise. If this were to continue, Microsoft could sell over 5 Million units by the end of 2010 which definitely outsells some other activity controller available in the market!

We are appreciative of the response we have seen from consumers that has culminated in sales of more than 1 Million units during the first 10 days on the market used for Kinect used for Xbox 360. This is a great start to the holiday season, and we will continue to work using our retailer partners to keep pace using high demand and deliver against our plan that sell more than 5 Million Kinect sensors worldwide by the end of this year.”

Android Phone as a Remote For YouTube on Your Computer

For ages, YouTube-watching posture was essentially this: slumping forward over your computer and squinting your eyes at a clip. But Google’s been trying to make things more comfortable, first with Leanback and now with the YouTube Remote app for Android.

The new app, YouTube Remote, pairs Android devices with any screen playing YouTube Leanback, be it a TV set via Google TV or just a trusty old computer. Then you can search for videos on your phone, beam them to Leanback, and control their playback right from your smartphone. Setting it up’s a snap:

YouTube Remote creates a virtual connection between your phone and YouTube Leanback. To ‘pair’ your phone with your Leanback screen, simply sign into YouTube Remote on your Android phone, and to YouTube Leanback on your Google TV or computer with the same YouTube account.

AMD Radeon HD 6870

When it was announced in late 2009, the ATI Radeon HD 5870 ushered in a trifecta of key graphics-card innovations. Along with the concurrently launched Radeon HD 5850, it was the first card to support DirectX 11 for improved graphics in next-generation games. With DisplayPort, DVI, and HDMI connectors, it allowed users to connect up to three screens to one card for more-immersive gaming. Plus, its impressive raw performance made it the most powerful single-chip graphics card on the market—until, that is, rival Nvidia launched its first DirectX 11 card, the beastly GeForce GTX 480, in early 2010.

Now, roughly a year after the launch of the Radeon HD 5870, AMD has put to bed the ATI brand that it has been using since acquiring the graphics-chip company in 2006, and it's rolling out a pair of second-generation DirectX 11 graphics cards: the AMD Radeon HD 6870, and the AMD Radeon HD 6850. While the more-mainstream Radeon HD 5700-series graphics cards will continue to be manufactured and sold, AMD says that the HD 6800-series cards will replace its Radeon HD 5800 series. This last move may seem surprising once we get to our performance-benchmark tests, but first let’s tackle what’s new with these cards.

First of all, with 3D movies breaking records in theaters and 3D HDTVs finding their way into early adopters’ living rooms, AMD has finally added support for true 3D (in this case, stereoscopic 3D) gaming with this latest line of cards, as well as support for 3D Blu-ray. Nvidia has had its own GeForce 3D Vision kit available for its graphics cards since early 2009. But while Nvidia’s 3D technology uses active (that is, powered) shutter glasses, necessitating expensive, bulky frames and a USB breakout box to make it all work, ATI’s 3D-gaming technology, dubbed HD3D, uses passive glasses, which should be less costly and less bulky. This is the same technology used in a few recent 3D-centric monitors, such as the Zalman ZM-M240W Trimon display we tested this summer. (Some 3D HDTVs are also supported).
