Totally fake guys, don’t freak! Question is, will you be getting Grand Theft Auto or Spiderman? Pretty thorough Photoshop skills, at least the title font matches. Contact the author of this post, Gerald Chan, at geraldchan@qisahn.com  0

$250 cables vs $10 HDMI cables – The difference? None! This infographic give a good insight into how Monster (the company) tries to ‘add value’ to their product to coerce the consumer into making a bad purchase decision. Bottom line: All HDMI cables give the same picture quality, price could differ due to brand and quality in construction of the cable, picture quality does not suffer! Hit the jump to check out the infographic. 0

If you are one of the older generation of PS3 owners, the upcoming firmware update slated for 1st April 2010 will remove the ability for one to install Linux on their PS3s.
PS3 Slim users, no worry you won’t be missing out on anything as your console never had the ability to install alternative OS-es. Why no more Linux you might ask? Piracy of course! Since Geohot hacked the PS3 (an older firmware version) back in January sent the less morally inclined in a frenzy. I guess big steps have been made since then and thus Sony is now putting their feet down to stamp out any possible breakthroughs. So if you decide to be a rebel and choose not to upgrade you can do so but in turn you would be very much be subjecting yourself to forgoing all games in the future.
I guess at least Sony did many a favour by announcing their intentions unlike what Nintendo did with 4.2 More news to follow this announcement in the coming days I reckon. *Hacker Update* Geohot says “Don’t update. I will release a CFW.” Contact the author of this post Gerald Chan at geraldchan@qisahn.com 0

Here’s a personal story: There I was lugging my PS3 to my room thinking how awesome it would be to game in the privacy of my own domain. Once everything was plugged in, PS3 to monitor using a HDMI to DVI cable of course, I realized that I only had video and no audio! It’s been awhile since I’ve used speakers with my PC. So naturally, I went with the headphone route but I reckon that using speakers would be far easier affair in terms of set-up. There a few things that you would need to be able to connect your headphones successfully to your PS3. Click to read on more! 0

A turn of the new year and good news to everyone interested in homebrew, the PS3 has recently been hacked by renowned iPhone hacker, George Hotz, better know as Geohotz.
In case anyone was wondering why I took so long to post this up, I did have to take the issue into greater consideration with regards to how sensitive this piece of news could be us as a company. Let us emphasize once again that we do not support piracy and nor does the gentleman who has successfully hacked the PS3. So, the PS3 has been hacked, so what now? I am pretty sure that many in the hacker community would be already rubbing their hands in glee as once a homebrew environment is created, programs can be easily be written to unlock DVD region codes or even offer true backward compatibility. Pirates rejoice! It could even mean pirated games for the PS3 in the near future. Just like how the PSP enjoys update after update to keep out piracy (not add new features!), efforts have been more or less futile as many custom firmware applications are able to play the latest games. Score one for the hackers. However, the game isn’t the same as it was in the past. Many games come with the form with connectivity to the Internet. Unless you are a serious gamer and just one that enjoys local multiplayer (think the Wii), you can bet that Sony would be more than willing to unleash their right to kill any system that they suspect has undergone illegal modifications the same way Microsoft did. I’ve explained to many a customer that the cost of Blu Rays and their burners would not be cheap. But this has just hit me. Many games are multiplatform, and if most games can be squeeze into a single DVD for the Xbox 360 this means that pirated games on DVD format may very well exist. Not every gamer/ developer has that much time and resources to squeeze so much data to fill a Blu Ray. Even if they did, by the time they take advantage of the space offered, the price of the tech may have already fallen to more-than-affordable prices. Bottom line is that piracy on the PS3 appears to be more or less inevitable. But with much emphasis on the social, multiplayer gamer & downloadable content, how much are you willing to trade enjoyment for the dollar? I suspect many do not care.
