• There are loads of nightmare stories by security companies but one of my favourites is when the company hired to hack the client’s network simply drops loads of free nice USB flash drives in the parking lot.

 Well we're all happy that the iPlayer from the BBC has come to PS3 in Europe but I'm less impressed about the multi-audio output.  My setup is that the sound goes from the Playstation to the Sound System via Optical Out.  

I found that if you do enable the multi-audio output then you can play music again.  

What a bummer you can't play music and use anything else anymore.  I can still play some games and select my own music... but they're dumbass PSN games that iPhone users would have got for a pound or what have you...
