PS3 Hacking chip banned (temporarily) + Anti-Facebook nears launch date.

Playstation creators Sony have won a temporary ban which prevents distributors in Austrailia selling a hardware based hack for the PS3.

The dongle, aptly named PS3Jailbreak would allow users to run homemade(homebrew) and pirated games. Sony now has until August 31st 2010 to apply for a permanent ban over the dongle, which has recieved mixed reviews from gamers.


In other news, Diaspora (An Open Source "Privacy Aware") social networking platform has set upon launching the new site on the 15th September. Since the site is open source, this means that people will be able to download and modify the source code to fit with other sites.

Thats all for now,
Take Care,
Dan.
