If you’re into the hacking scene for PS3, then you need to avoid the newest firmware update! We’ve already mentioned that 3.5 can now be jailbroken and downgraded to previous firmwares but this firmware prevents that! There will be nothing you can do with your PS3 except what Sony allows, so be wary.
What features does this PS3 update come with? Well, it only comes with a “security patch” to patch up the holes we need to run homebrew and that’s it. No other features, nothing.

Looks like we’ve seen a lot of cool stuff come out for the PS3 in regard to their highest firmware, 3.50. Recently, a jailbreak has been released, along with a downgrader to allow users to downgrade to 3.41 or any other firmware they please. (Even ones that include OtherOS!!)
Check out of these great demonstration videos!

Flash 10.2 has recently been released providing a far better user experience to Flash users, knocking down the CPU resources with some reports saying it dropped their CPU use from 50-80%  to 5-15%. A worthwhile upgrade indeed! Sadly, Chrome uses a dedicated, preinstalled Flash player unable to be easily upgraded with the usual download and install method. Some reports state disabling the currently installed flash and installing the 10.2 update works, while others (such as myself) have had trouble with that. This is a surefire way to upgrade Chrome’s Flash Player to 10.2!

How to-Install the Flash 10.2 Beta on Chrome (32 Bit Windows…)-

Download and Install the Flash 10.2 player for Other Browsers from this link.

Next, locate the file NPSWF32.dll in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash

Copy it.

Go to C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\CurrentBuildNumber and find the file GCSWF32.dll

Rename it to GCSWF321.dll (for safekeeping)

Paste the NPSWF32.dll file here and rename it to GCSWF32.dll

There you go, you updated Chromes Internal Flash to 10.2

To make sure you have it working correctly go to about:plugins and find flash and look at its details.

Check it out, it is the new PSP Phone. It has a good look, but I’m skeptical of the touch pad replacing the analog nubs.

After Mr.Blurry Camera Man kept releasing snapshots of Google’s next Android release, we knew a none, more detailed description of 2.3 would eventually leak out to the public. Google has finally given us this in the form of a recent voice search demonstration video from Google Hong Kong, where careful watchers have spotted tell-tale signs of a Nexus One running our new sweet tooth craving. As you can see above, the previously white status bar has now turned to black along with new icons as well as a tweaked launcher bar at the bottom of the screen. Settings also reveal restyled buttons and (thankfully)a new tab in the Market app labled “Related”.
