, Mar 29th 2010 Discuss [0]

Sony have announced a new PS3 firmware update, but while most users generally look forward to such events, v3.21 is likely to cause Sony no end of headaches.  That's because, rather than add in functionality, PS3 firmware v3.21 seems only intended to remove the ability to install other OSes to the console.  Sony have described the move - which will impact versions of the PS3 prior to the current PS3 Slim model - as prompted by "security concerns", though fail to detail exactly what those concerns might be.  It's a decision that some believe is connected to geohot's hacking of the PS3 back in January 2010.

Google: “We share revenue on search, not on mobile apps”

, Mar 29th 2010 Discuss [0]

Have Google been attempting to lure in carrier support by offering a slice of their in-app advertising revenue?  According to the company's spokesperson, despite rumors to the contrary last week, network operators only ever see a portion of ad revenue on search results, not from Google-branded apps like Gmail.  In fact, the deal is just the same whether the handset runs Android or another OS.
