Links: Notes: Yeah, my math for DVD audio was off. I was on the spot. Wanna fight about it? :) I don't know why I was still thinking in terms of time instead of capacity ;) But here's hoping John figured that out. The proper number should be 282000. Ish. From The Category5.TV Newsroom: - Contrary to past promises from Sony representatives, the upcoming 3.21 firmware for the PS3 console will remove the "Install Other OS" option from the system. Sony states that the feature's removal will "help ensure that PS3 owners will continue to have access to the broad range of gaming and entertainment content", a huge number of users are not happy with this week's announcment. Sony warns that once the firmware update is out, anything saved on a Linux partition will be lost—so backup your data. Users who opt-out of the firmware update will lose the ability to sign in to the Playstation Network, thereby disabling the ability to play online games or use online chat. Have questions or want to tell Sony how indignant you are? Call 1-800-345-SONY to talk to Sony Consumer Services.
- Following new government rules in China that seemingly violate domain registrants' personal privacy by forcing them to submit not only their personal details, but a photograph of themselves to the Chinese government, GoDaddy has announced that they are going to stop registering domain names in China. GoDaddy believes the new rules to be an effort by China to increase monitoring and surveillance of web site content, thereby risking the privacy of registrants, calling the possible implications "chilling".

- While claiming to be an antivirus application specifically designed for Facebook, a malicious Facebook app could itself be called a virus. You'll see several names for the app, but they are all similar to "Facebook Antivirus", often with the words misspelled. The app seems legit at first glance, which is why many users fall for the scam. The app often comes as a message from a Facebook friend, and upon being given access to yur profile, it then spams all your friends, tags your photos with random friend names and then publishes them to your wall. If you use Facebook, always be extremely cautious when authorizing any app on your profile, and if it says it's "Facebook Antivirus", steer clear.
