iPad is out!

| be3n

Though I have to admit I am a tad underwhelmed. Sad that they choose to stick with at$t, but I will admit that the $500 price tag is appealing. Right now this devise seems to be set to replace my iPod not my laptop. I think I will wait for the new MacBook pros. I will continue to watch the iPad with interest. I’m sure things will change seriously with new software! I wonder when it will run more then one app at a time. Either by apple’s doing or others.

hardware, pointless

its hard to believe my office could be so cold with all these computers running

| be3n

at this moment I have two systems of my own as well as three more in various sages of diagnostics or testing. included in these are some very big mac pro towers running under serious load. it’s cold. that’s what I’m saying.

I know what you are saying, “using mac pro towers to heat your office isn’t very green of me.” it more like load testing powerful computers isn’t particularly energy friendly, but sometimes it’s got to get done and in the winter, it’s not so bad. (until the electric bill shows up)

Sony PS3 hacked!

Over 3 years after it’s release. nice work george.  (@geohot)

In his post Hello hypervisor, I’m geohot George explains that he can run code and has the dumps necessary to crack the encryption needed to make applications.  it’s the start of a VERY long road, but i am very excited to know it’s beginning.  i was just tinkering with my ps3 last night as well.  i look forward to the coming ps3 homebrew scene.
