Wow Sony post day. Here’s a cute and fun video that disassembles and reassembles a PSP Go in stop motion. This video is all over the blog-o-spheres so I wouldn’t doubt if you have seen it.

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!

I found a digital guitar creates electronic music and runs Gentoo linux on Hack a day. It looks really fun and I approve of this.

Don’t think “acoustic” or “electric” but “electronic”.

A group of researchers stole the ‘torpig’ bot-net for 10 days. Encryption madness ensued….

Here’s the google techtalk about what they did to take over the botnet and analyze it (get ready its long and boring (an hour and 15 minutes) but crazy):

Protect your passwords and your intertubes!

Stepping into the verse’ of the known, we try to change our concept of reality with technology. It’s a very weird feeling moving your ideals into a new plane of thought. Augmented reality is such an approach that you perceive extra dimensions on-top of your physical plane. Here is a building that displays QR codes that can be used for a variety of applications (shopping, twitter updates, advertising, entertainment, etc).

The iPhone application is not in the iTunes App Store, but is available to interested parties on request. The project is a collaboration between teradadesign and Qosmo.

Imagine yourself walking around the grocery store holding your phone up to every product for up-to-date reviews. Imagine going out to a night club, pointing your phone at a person  to view their social profile (“Oh, that person like’s cheese?”). There may be a time where you browse your favorite books at the library with QR codes. You could put a QR code on the back of your transportation that links to your website. The best part about QR codes is, you don’t know what you’re going to get. It’s like finding treasure (good or bad).
