Good news! I’ve been working a lot on my site features recently. Today I’ve included an update that adds 47 languages to the entire site. To select a different language, scroll to the bottom and click the appropriate flag (this will probably move to the top). Site page translation is an ongoing process so it may be slow at first. Page requests also include Google translator for instant page translation.
Oh, heads up!

PS3 Hacked!
by Andy on Jan.24, 2010, under Console, Events, Gaming, Internet Culture
Smack! Looks like the PS3 has finally been hacked. The ‘researcher’ supposedly bypassed the hypervisor and gained full read/write access to all the inner workings of the long un-touched gaming console beast machine known as the Playstation 3. Sony, what’s up?
The researcher named George Hotz goes by geohot. We won’t find out soon how he did it because he’s not releasing his information yet, but you can follow the updates on the researcher’s blog or his twitter.
Shouldn’t be long now, ps3. I May have to get one!
