Apple have some more announcements coming later today, want to have a look what’s coming? Pop Here or Here.

Have fun, and let’s hope my credit card can take the punishment.

More info has turned up on the loverly looking Koenigsegg CCX.

It looks like my speculation about it going after the Veyron is wrong. The specs are the same as the CCR, this is 806bhp Twin supercharged V8.

It makes the car pretty quick, the CCR is a 3.2 second car to 62 and stops accelerating at 245mph (hence the Veyron’s 253mph).

So it looks like the CCX may be an American friendly version of the Swedish companies flagship product, word is that the engine has even been tuned for the (bad) American fuel (89/91 octane).

Same as last time David has some more info on the CCX and I recommend you to pop and have a look.

No sooner has MPH sorted out loading V2, V3 comes along. PSPHacks have some shot’s of the V3 PSP firmware on a device and it looks like there are some decent improvements.

Some of the improvements and new features look to be Sony Music Store connectivity, PS3 Connectivity, Mail, Notepad, Sketchpad, Organiser (including alarm) and enhanced security (with possibly better wireless security support?).

Pop along an have a look for yourself, let’s hope that MPH gets his firmware launcher sorted

PCDoctor has an article about what SBB does and is, it’s located here.

You have to make up your own mind about the SBB service, but everyone is getting all het up about the use of the Kontiki client in it, Sky say it’s there! and it can’t be too bad as I have not heard too many complaints about the BBC using the exact same technology!

Oh well up to you. My only proviso is don’t use it if your on a pay as you go broadband package!

Oh and don’t forget the uninstall ‘guide’ is over here.

As I mentioned last week I said that Sony could struggle with the Blu-Ray format now that Microsoft has decided to get into bed with Toshiba on the HD-DVD format, it seems I’m not the only one with this line of thinking on the next gen optical disk format as the New York Times no less has a decent article that basically says the same thing.

At least I’m not on my own in this line of thinking.

Maxconsole has got a decent list of FW2 compatibility for MPH’s new loader.

Pop along here and have a look how to get your favourite 2.0 game loading

A new release of Mint has been released to the world, version 1.28 does the following

v128
- [060222] This update requires you to reenter your Activation Key. From Mint 1.28 forward the key will be stored in $Mint->cfg (in anticipation of one-click updates–provided I can work out the security/piracy implications) Your Activation Key can be found in your
original purchase email or in the Mint Account Center
- [060224] Reverted to the record/js.php from Mint 1.26 (A number of users have reported significant discrepancies in their total/uniques with 1.27, since I cannot reproduce the issue I am rolling back for now until I can isolate and resolve the problem)
- [060222] Added compact privacy policy to convince IE PC to eat cookies in certain fringe instances
- [060221] Add ?moved query command to remap the installVars after moving Mint to a new location on the server

Pepper
- [060222] Updated all official Pepper to prevent viewing class.php directly in the browser (which would otherwise result in a fatal error because the parent Pepper class is undefined outside of the context of Mint)
- [060215] Updated Default Pepper (v126) Added descriptive text to the Pages Watched Favelets preferences

Because I enjoy IT security (sad I know), I thought I would bring this decent article on the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) protocol and how to go about hacking it.

Have fun, and remember to be careful out there

What Car are reporting that local councils may be able to start hiding their speed camera’s again after this year. Apparently the regulations governing the placement of said camera’s expire in April 2007. There are also concerns that due to the way local councils are going to be funded the camera networks upkeep could become neglected.

I personally hate speed camera’s with a passion, as most are sited in places they are plainly not needed; that said I can see the use for them around schools, and accident blackspots, however there has to be a better way of ‘saving lives’ on our roads (better education anyone?)
