Geohot Hacks Sony's PlayStation 3

Notoriously known by AT&T as the first successful iPhone hacker who managed to unlock the iPhone is at it again, George Hotz (geohot) has been causing a commotion in the PlaySation3 scene with his blog (http://geohotps3.blogspot.com) dating back to December of 2009. The blog itself is more of a timetable of George's progress towards successfully hacking the PlayStation3 and describing it thoroughly with details big or small. His adventure into the secured system has finally paid off, Geohot has managed to find a way to exploit the system and trick it to execute arbitrary code.


You can read more about his finding at his blog.

Although there is skepticism among the PS3 hacking scene as one blogger writes about his exploit having nothing to do with hacking the PlayStation3 at this blog (http://streetskaterfu.blogspot.com). It's up to you to figure out if you believe it or not; the hack is currently not for the average Joe, you will need to know some programmatic knowledge.

Gmail & Favicons

The popular e-mail provider Gmail by Google seems to have adopted favicons within it's message list, check it out.


I'm not quite too sure if it's a permanent change, but from a simple search on the topic you'll find that Google has attempted to implement such a feature way back in October of 2009. The picture below shows the original implementation of Gmail's favicon feature which is seen aligned to the right of the subject line in your inbox.

This seems like a great idea and adds more personality to the e-mail in general, I'll be able to tell if the e-mail is worth a read depending on it's importance simply by a glance at the icon, thanks Google.
