After weeks of waiting for some good news in the Sony PlayStation Network down situation, there's finally a PSN update available for PS3 users. That update means a system update for all PS3 owners which is critical before service officially is restored.
This news comes from the official Sony PlayStation blog on Saturday May 14th. The latest post notes that all PS3 users are urged to complete this latest software update, version 3.61. Part of this update will include resetting login information of username and password. This was something Sony mentioned during its press conference several weeks ago as an imperative step to provide better security for all users in the future.
To perform this PSN system update, anyone who has used their Sony Playstation 3 with the PlayStation Network will need to go to the main screen, "Settings" and then choose "System Update." The latest 3.61 update should be discovered. Users will then accept a new user agreement and choose for the PSN update to download. This should take several minutes but has been labeled a critical step to make each individual's PSN account even more secure. It was noted on the PlayStation blog that users will also receive an email at the account they signed up for PSN with, giving them instructions on how to reset their login info.
Sony has been working behind the scenes to strengthen its overall security following the cyber intrusion which occurred between April 17th and 19th, 2011. The PlayStation Network was taken down by the company on the 20th, and for weeks gamers have waited in anticipation of getting the service back. While most games can be played offline, many users enjoy the online multiplayer environments and additional content available. With the news of this update, it's a great big step towards getting the network restored for all involved.
If you are looking at buying the HTC Desire you need to know where the best place online is to purchase, well today we are putting 3 Mobile and Carphone Warehouse side-by-side and see who comes out on top.
There are some amazing deals online and cheap at that, but we came across SIM Basics and they reveal that 3 Mobile is offering an amazing deal for the HTC Desire for only £17 per month on contract.
The source above goes on to say that 3 Store is offering this deal on the Internet Talker plan with 100 texts and 100 minutes each month to use any time and to any network, you also get unlimited free 3-to-3 calls and unlimited Internet. This deal is based on a 24-month contract. Now the funny thing is when you click the link to 3 Store via SIM Basics it does not take you to the page it should take you to, so we looked a little into it.
All we could find are these plans, we cannot find the HTC Desire Internet Talker plan deal for £17 per month, and so we are calling out to SIM Basics to show us please.
Nexus One Running 450% Faster Thanks to Froyo (Android 2.2)?
The guys over at AndroidPolice claim to have a Nexus One running Android 2.2. They conducted a few performance tests on the device and the result was astounding. The Nexus One will run up to 450% faster than it does on 2.1. When you take into account that the Nexus One already could be the fastest phone on the market now, more than quadruple the speed and you will have a true Super phone” on your hands. If this is true, Google use of that term will be cemented after the release of Froyo.
By now we’ve all seen Flash 10.1 running on a Nexus One outfitted with 2.2. It appears the real reason why apple didn’t want Flash on the iPhone is because it couldn’t handle it, Android after Froyo has more than enough horse power to shoulder the load of running Flash. A few other things that are rumored to be included in 2.2 are the ability to save apps to the SD card and the introduction of JIT.
These gains in performance can be directly connected to the implementation of JIT. The Nexus One running Android 2.1 without JIT gets about 6.5-7 MFLOPS. And the same device running 2.2 with JIT enabled gets a whopping 37.5 MFLOPS. That’s over four times the performance and that’s crazy. Google is keeping 2.2 under tight wraps, usually by now we would have a leak, we’re going to have to wait for the I/O this time around. Check out the results over at AndroidPolice, they have some very interesting stuff there.
The Bugatti Veyron was recently showcased on National Geographic as being one of the baddest, most expensive cars you can buy. How expensive? Many people will gasp when they read what the Bugatti Veryon sticker price is...Let's just say that Dr. Evil would have been pleased if he could have one in place of destroying the world...how does One...MILLION dollars sound?
The Veyron is indeed a best, with over 1000 horsepower and a 0-60 time of under 3 seconds. What more could you ask for with such a small amount of money? Small for Bill Gates perhaps. The funny thing is that the car was engineered and built by the people who brought you the cute little Volkswagen Beetle. My friend had a 1964 Beetle, and let me tell you, we were lucky if that car would even make it up to 45 mph, let alone 60. In fact, if we hit 60, we were more than likely heading down the mountains of Southwestern Pennsylvania with no brakes.
The odd thing about this car is that I think it is awesome, but lo
oking at it more, my gosh, did somebody crash this thing into the ugly stick forest? I think those who find this car beautiful are just blinded by the beauty of its performance. I guess kinda like people who think Madonna is really hot looking, but really they are just impressed by her performance...wait, I don't think that came out right.
But, in the spirit of bad choice of words, irregardless, the car happens to be a favorite to many and will most certainly be the poster replacement of Bo Derrick, the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, and the Lamborghini Countach of the 1970's.
