Google Instant : Instant Search
Google Instant : Instant Search – Google has changed the game once again using their Google Instant feature that was implemented today. The new feature allows the search engine to display results for you as you type, and even tries to guess what you are potentially searching for. As you type, the results show up on the page in front of your eyes. Google is using a new caching system along with updated Javascript technology to bring you search results in real time.
Some have argued that the quality of the results are lower because many users will click through before they are able to reach the destination that they are looking for. It will completely change the way that businesses online conduct business and cater to the world’s biggest search engine and databank.

PS3 Firmware 3.42: PS Groove Jailbreak Killer
PS3 Firmware 3.42: PS Groove Jailbreak Killer – A PS3 jailbreak recently hit the net for the first time since the system was first launched. However, the fun did not last long as Sony updated their system today to kill the jailbreaking ability in an effort to cut down on pirating of games. The firmware update, 3.42, is a mandatory update, meaning that you have to install it in order to login to your PSN account, or purchase anything form the PlayStation store.
Sony has yet to publish the logs that state what exactly was updated, but a number of sites are reporting that the update was created to fix an important hardware security issue. It was last week that a PS3 jailbreak modchip was released, and Sony quickly acted to counter the issue so that they wouldn’t have to face all of the problems that Microsoft has with their Xbox in recent years.
It has taken quite a long time for someone to jailbreak the PS3, and it will likely take a long time for them to get around this update as well. It was an Australian site that first put the modchip up for sale, and many who ordered it have yet to receive it in the mail before the update came out. Hopefully someone is able to release a modchip update that will not render the modchips worthless for those that already purchased them. It will be interesting to see what Sony has to say about their latest update, or whether or not they will just act like it never happened.
