Sony got itself in a pickle yesterday. The hacker renowned for jail-breaking the iPhone managed to figure out the the security key that Sony is using for its PS3 authentication. This also turns out to be the sole key for all code signing, games and PSN — the whole nine yards. Now people can make their own homebrew software and sign it, and the PS3 will accept it as legit. Obviously the first thought that comes to mind would be for them to change the key, but that would render all old titles incompatible. Sony issued a cease and desist order to the hacker but managed to foul that up by not signing all the documents, so none of it has any legal standing. By filing paperwork in court, Sony then also listed all security keys, making them a matter of the public record. Way to go ...
A Carnegie Mellon University Computer Science professor exercised his free speech and
put up a mirror of the entire ordeal, daring Sony to take action.

The weekend is upon us, and we are getting ready for an open-air concert this weekend. The weather has been sketchy for the past few days, and rain is expected. We've decided to buy some plastic sheeting in case it starts pouring on Saturday. The funny thing is that the venue frowns upon smokers (I light the occasional Marlboro), but getting baked on weed is perfectly acceptable.
Last night we watched some more Smallville, Sons Of Anarchy, The Event, and No Ordinary Family. If we get time over the weekend we may check out a movie, like
Red or
Life as We Know It.

You'd think I would know better by now. Drinking wine = sleepy me. Yet sure enough, I zonked out hard again. You know what's the worst of it? I don't even feel particularly refreshed after a long night's sleep. I feel better and more alert after only a 3- to 4-hour nap.
Oh well, back to the grind!

Halfway through the week, and unsurprisingly, i'm looking forward to the weekend. I need some downtime after last week's vacation. Odd how that works :)
We attended a PSP event last night and got to play a few upcoming games (Modnation Racers, Hot Shots Golf and a few others), so we'll have some impressions and interviews later today and later in the week.
