PS Home came and guess what: it sucks. Sure, it’s supposed to be in “beta” but the whole thing is just flawed to no end. The Penny Arcade guys did a great job of summarizing it, so check out their comic.

Luckily, someone has figured out how to hack into Playstation Home and thus, opening the door for somebody to make Home fun. Thanks to all that downtime Sony had when launching Home, it seems some hackers discovered how the server system works. I noticed a lot of JSP error pages when trying to first load up Home, so these hacks will involve a little Apache trickery combined with editing JSP files. It’s pretty intense shit but also a great way to easily dive into hacking your PS3. The outcome? Upload third-party content to the Home servers and delete content FROM the Home server itself. Bad news for Sony.

Reports have been flowing in that iTunes 8 contains extra packages and specifically, a device driver, that is causing some Windows machines to freeze, lockup and not work properly. My friend just had this happen so I figured I’d post the fix here.

The recommended solution is to first uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes, and then download and install the most recent version of iTunes. (Delete any previously downloaded versions.)

Also, try resetting your iPod if it starts acting wacky.

UPDATE: Apple has addressed the issue.
