PS3 now hacked after 3 years!
After 3 years of trying, the PS3 has been hacked by none other than one of the first few to break the Iphone first generation: Geohotz.
The patch and instructions may be released sooner than later, and he was confident that he has broken through already. In all likelihood, the hack will probably be like the recent wii hack where you play games off an external drive which contains downloaded isos.
In his blog about how he details hacking the ps3, he mentions “I have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1. I’ve also dumped the NAND without removing it or a modchip.
How to convert mov to avi
I came across this article as we have the same problem with our Panasonic Lumix LX3. Although I acquired it solely for its still image capabilities, I quickly discovered that it records video in very high quality, especially when compared to my digital video camera, a JVC model equipped with a hard disk on which video files are stored in MPEG-2 format in DVD resolution.
The major downside to the new LX3: the format in which video files are stored. For some reason Panasonic chose Apple’s Quicktime format. This essentially means that only Apple’s Quicktime software can play those files. That is far too inflexible for me. I need a video file format that can be played and edited with different applications, both today and in 20 years. I do not want to be caught in a format trap, like, for example, owners of Video 2000 equiment (remember that?).
Iphone 3gs versus palm pre versus Iphone 3g
Apple’s iPhone 3G S has arrived. Appearances are what they really seem to be. On the outside nothing looks much different with the 3G S. The real difference is what’s inside, which is, well, nothing really according to this review in financemanila. So how will Apple’s iPhone 3G s compare to the Palm Pre? I’ve put together a chart for a quick glance at how they stack up (see below). For a more in-depth analysis, read on.
The main difference is quite obvious — for the same price as a 16GB iPhone3G S you only get a 8GB Palm Pre. In comparison, the current generation 8GB iPhone 3G dropped in price to $99, going after Pre’s lower capacity storage.
