This lengthy thread at the Playstation forums suggests that some combination of the 3.10 firmware and Modern Warfare 2 is killing PS3 Blu-ray drives. Maybe it’s true, or maybe they’re all just drinking the kool-aid.
Forum members have reportedly pinpointed several reproducible freezes in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 which they claim began only after installing the 3.10 firmware (the most recent release is 3.15). After experiencing this freezing, many members reported problems in other games, leading them to conclude that the firmware update adversely affected their Blu-ray drives.
Blu-ray diodes do have a finite life span, and it’s hard to say if in these cases the drives have just run their course or if there is in fact something amiss with the new firmware. It’s tricky. Sometimes, when an individual settles on an explanation for something, other people force themselves to find “evidence” corroborating that explanation. Sort of like how everyone started finding references to 2pac faking his own death in his music (those are real, though).
It could all just be a coincidence, or the Blu-ray diodes could be dying of old age, or there really could be some issue with the new firmware that is causing drives to crap out. If you have any insight, share it in the comments. [Playstation]

The xda boys have been up to their tricks again, with a HardSPL now available for the HTC Leo / HD2. The custom bootloader will in effect allow any ROM on your device and opens the gates to “unofficial” ROM upgrades on your handset.
Be careful though, there’s possible warranty and other issues to consider here before you plough ahead and as usual our recommendation is to avoid this route unless you’re comfortable with a possible bricked phone.

Following eight months of testing, Google’s Wikipedia competitor, Knol, was finally opened to the public today. The concept is quite similar to that.

Right-clickas or a MacBook flippas, I think we can all agree to hate malvertising, Internet ads filled with malicious code. Someone needs to take down the companies who are putting that crap online. Wait. Microsoft is on the job already?
Apparently Microsoft’s legal team’s first battle is to uncover exactly who is behind some of those horrid ads by going through the court system. According to Microsoft on the Issues:
The lawsuits allege that individuals using the business names “Soft Solutions,” “Direct Ad,” “qiweroqw.com,” “ITmeter INC.” and “ote2008.info” used malvertisements to distribute malicious software or present deceptive websites that peddled scareware to unsuspecting Internet users. Although we don’t yet know the names of the specific individuals behind these acts, we are filing these cases to help uncover the people responsible and prevent them from continuing their exploits.
Kudos to Microsoft for doing something to help all users. [Microsoft on the Issues via New York Times]
