Seriously? Give a dog a bone.

Can't take a joke.

Happens on my phone

On Dolphin HD and stock. Not often mind, mainly while checking out Gizmodo.com.au's mobile site where I just need to find where the link actually is, then it works fine when it realises there's nothing there.

Really interested in this one, especially with word Plants Vs. Zombies is making its way to Android.

I'm Australian and when I signed up for my VOIP and my mobile service, they asked if I wanted to be listed. I picked no.

What a guy!

Remember me on this computer?

Last 50 locations or everything ever? EXACTLY the same.

Well played,

good sir!

If the church agrees to be a place of polling, then they accept all that comes with it. Whether that means nationalist posters to the sex party.

You should probably look at the Sex Party website too, as you seem to have them down as a party of sexual deviants...

lol

Who said you have freedom of speech on an iPhone?

Maybe so

But I still headchuckle when I see adds for this place

Even Sony hasn't disabled a console's entire function over the use of homebrew. Besides, as consoles get more complicated, there's more options as far as exploits to load custom content and then it's just a matter of time that the brick is reversed.

Learn to read

The book is legal to purchase in Australia, and is freely available from any library. It's like charging someone for making racists remarks because they've read Mark Twain.

The holdout is long gone.

But they are taking their sweet time anyway.

I'm on the fence about this, I haven't enjoyed a Mortal Kombat game in a long time, so like Manhunt, I won't miss it. That said, I don't want the government playing mummy.

AND!

If you don't update, you may miss important additions to the blu-ray player, effectively rendering the console proper gimped.

The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.

I'm sitting on 3.55 unmodified myself, I have a small collection of games (10 or so) and have purchased 4 from the online store, including 3 I had on my old PSX years back. I'm sticking on 3.55 because then I can jailbreak if I want more options with how I use my console. While I'm on 3.55 I will not be able to purchase anything and if I jailbreak, I may not be able to run anything legit released from this time onwards. Sony's losing here because they want to lock everything up and have made a good start on it on 3.56. I get banning cheaters and hackers from online gaming, but they can not stop the homebrew community who have their keys. And besides, what hurts them if someone's running some obscure emulator, or messing with XBMC or whatever alongside their legitimate purchases?

From my point of view (and not necessarily yours, I get that), it's lose-lose. It certainly doesn't make me want to invest in Sony gear in future.

VLC did this

And so many bitched and moaned. I thought it was quite clever, calling Apple out on adding DRM to OSS.

Hold on

The decision to shutter their internet services was probably not taken lightly, they still have to comply with all local laws and officials, and it's obvious they're taking a hard line. It is disappointing, but I'm not likely to cancel my iPhone contract with my local Vodafone over it.

It would be nice to see a mini-HDMI connection on it, but chances are Sony will want to keep their handheld and console systems separate, more money that way.

Yup

Me either. Not one ever. Just a complete waste of Australian taxpayers dollars.

Well...

It's not Sony either. Removed Linux support, making us pay extra for features others take for granted, and let's not forget the Sony BMG DRM scandal. Don't get me wrong, I like my PS3, but I haven't been able to justify even one more dollar on the console since paying for games that I bought years ago on the PSX. Seems the only one that's not actively hurting people is the one that's lagging behind in features: Nintendo.

Heh

Funny, all I can remember is this http://www.reghardware.com/2008/03/28/nvidia_vista_drivers/

Granted my first proper ATi card was an X600 or something or rather, but since I haven't had any problems to speak of. I haven't been a fan of nVidia since they bought up PhysX and denied competitors the ability to share in the technology and those few nVidia RAID devices I saw fail on a number of Acer machines on display at work. That could just be Acer though.

I know!

Even as a very former user, I forget about them until they appear in the news about how bad they're doing. Their previous marketing strategies were fairly pervasive and seemingly quickly made them irrelevant. It'll be interesting to see if any other companies who tried the same strategy is still around. That is, if anyone remembers them.

Hah!

Misusing resources, or BEING AWESOME? I'd vote for the latter.
