Playstation 3 Keypad Attachment Debuts Next Month

Filed under: Gaming, Peripherals

I love my PS3 and all but I have to admit, typing messages to other players takes too long for it to be truly efficient. Enter Sony’s official keypad for the Playstation 3. It’s trying to sell it next month for $50. That’s nearly the cost of a DualShock 3 controller sans controller. Ouch. Still, I’m considering buying one so that I can make everyone’s life in LittleBigPlanet a living hell.

Pacemaker Prevention

Remember that fishy business about the potential for hackers to prematurely shut off a pacemaker via a wireless communicator? Since many people use pacemakers to keep their heart beating, scientists are taking this loophole extremely seriously and have raised a solution to the issue.

Proposed is a cloaking device, an external attachment that the pacemaker owner would wear, resembling a medical bracelet. The cloaking device would prevent any harmful form of remote access to the pacemaker, keeping the wearer safe from any malicious wireless attacks. The cloaking device would be removable just in case doctors need to modify the pacemaker as needed. Ain’t nobody shuttin’ my heart down, girlfriend!
