PS4 1.74 update out now

New update rolled out to fix bugs in the system. System stability as they call it.

Here are a few shoots of the update.


















PS4 is so powerful, just got it recently and it had an issue after watching a blu-ray movie. I turned it off and then a minute later turned on and then keep ejecting the disk.

Just disconnected the system from the power after turning it off and it hasn't done it since. Startup glitch, don't know.

Sure hope this fixes that problem. I also found that first few days unit seemed to get really hot then now it is like warm air coming out the back. Used to get hot, maybe getting used to the load or something re-soldered itself back with that heat and now regulating power normally. Don't know for sure. We'll see, I'll keep you updated.

PlayStation Returning services sections at a time

So PlayStation blog has been constantly been updating the page with what parts are being re-stored. E-mail password verification got to overwhelming for the servers that they had to stop the service for 30 minutes to clear the queue.
Now many would be able to reset their password from their PS3 directly unless you had a different one than the original you registered. I guess many don’t have their same PS3 anymore. I actually found that confusing since I originally had a 20 gig PS3 and then bought 60 gig, I guess it is the last one used before it got hacked.

Sony gives us, Kazuo Hirai, giving all of us details on restoration and a clear apology, which all PS3 gamers are sure to received with appreciation.

PS3 should have all it’s network up this week if all goes well. Thanks Sony for the updates. They are going to even through in a few perks for being patient and for the troubles of waiting.
Changing the password is simple through PS3, but I found problems at the beginning downloading it directly and that could be because of the server overload. So I downloaded the firmware via PSN page update, then used USB to install on PS3 which worked like a charm. Just make sure you make a folder named “PS3”, then another within that says “Update.”
After update, I tried to load a PSN game and it froze, so I had to re-start my PS3 and all worked well afterwards.
Well, hope all goes well for the rest of you PS3 gamers. GAME ON!

iOS 5 introducing Over-The-Air Firmware updates

Apple might have a new update up their sleeves with iOS 5 which reports show might bring Over-The-Air Firmware update.

If they decide to use over the air update with 3G then more compresses packages are needed or they should only use Wi-Fi as a source of update download for huge files over 600 megs.

We will see what happens, but all the new technology on the rise it does not surprise me that this will actually be implemented for convenience and the fact that more and more people on the go are using tablets and handhelds than PC's these days for ease of use.

iOS 4.3 Mobile Hotspot upgrade

So with new iOS 4.3 update coming soon on March 11,2011, iPhone 4 users will have the capability to use their phones as a mobile hotspot in order to allow other devices to  connect to the internet. Cool right?, not so cool a price.

Thinking this upgrade would be free, the service would be free according to your monthly allowance of data that you pay for. Unfortunately that is not the case. AT&T will charge an extra 20 dollars a month to use it and you must be under a 2 gig a month data cap to use it.

Leaving grandfathered unlimited data plans in the dark with, we add this new feature but you pay for it cause it does not matter how much data you have. Not cool at all. Let’s see once it comes out to all what they end up with.
