Playstation Home Hacked and First Impressions

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.

FCC Approves Beefed Up WiFi

Do you have any idea how long it takes for me to download pictures of my favorite Enterprise captain, Kathryn Janeway, in the nude? A long time. This is because I’m running on a WiFi network that’s older than time itself. I’d be lucky if this thing wasn’t putting out harmful rays that will have me growing extra limbs.

It’s a good thing the FCC approved this new WiFi which comes from wireless airwaves between TV channels. It’s said to have a much longer range than conventional WiFi and is significantly faster. That’s going to make downloading porn a heck of a lot more enjoyable.
