HOOOoooooooo!
Poisoned with No Antidote
While waiting for dear to finish her stuff, i decide to stroll around the area. The only place that will interest me around here is the famous Sim Lim Square.
To many this is just a normal electronics shopping mall, but to electronics geek like me (although not as geeky as you think) this is an extremely "poisonous" place. The poisons are computer parts, games for consoles and PCs, and electronics gadgets. Seeing so much of these poisons, the urge to get them is really great.
The only thing that is stopping me is the fact that i'm broke for the month. Cash will be my antidote but it's not available to detoxify me at the moment. I even have to think twice just to get a 12 bucks keyboard for my PS3.
Luckily, antidote will arrive in a couple of days and hopefully, it could remove some of poisons that were inflicted to me today. Sigh.

Now you can....
Head over to www.symbian-freak.com to download the tools to do so. Although the procedures is a bit complicated for some, however there are detailed instructions and helpful posts in their forum to guide you through.
One thing to note that the NokiaLogo program is to reside on your drive's root directory to get things going. Took me 1 hour of fiddling to figure that out.
Currently the logo can only be displayed in black and white but i believe the method to place colour logos will be revealed in no time.
Have fun!

Can the PS3 be killed?
How to kill a Ps3 Console
So how good is the console when put under extreme operating pressure and alternating environments The total concept of the Ps3 console instills robustness, stability and durability, the overall package combines the latest chip technology and peripheral advancements. The following results of the console are noteworthy reading and were done under the following guidelines. Results were recorded accurately to provide an actual operating statistic.
The following conditions were applied to each testing environment
• Continuous usuage of 108hours with no interruption to power supply
• Game of choice was Resistance Fall of Man & Motor Storm, Enchanted Arms
• Blu Ray movies – Several – around 10 different titles , Casino Royale, The Departed, Pirates of the Caribbean, Terminator 2, Superman Returns…
• Console was positioned on standalone timber unit with approximate 10cms of airflow under neath.
• Same 10 players were used over this period each playing or using the unit for a maximum of 1.5hours in any given session.
• Same controllers were used throughout the testing period
The following cycle was copied and used in each testing environment.
Start time Monday 9am –
2 hours blue ray dvd titles
4 hours continuous play on Resistance FOM
2 hours continuous play on Motor Storm
2 x blue ray dvd movies

2 hours blue ray dvd title
5 hours Resistance FOM
5 hours Motor Storm
1 hour enchanted Arms
3 hours blue ray dvd titles
Repeated from the top until 108hours
Environment 1 Typical Family Room
Temperature 73 F
Console Ran continuous for the 108hours with only once incident happening at 12 hours in – a slight vibration coming from the tray area which lasted approximately 20 seconds. For the remaining time allocated no incidents were reported
Environment 2 Back of a Freezer Van – unit was placed inside the closed van with controllers and screen mounted outside, - no one was willing to sit in side the van for any extended period of time
Temperature Started at 50F and was progressively scaled down over the next 4 days to reach 0degrees.
Incidents We noticed a slight sluggishness in playback once the temperature reached 0 degrees , this was maintained for the last 24hours, with 12 hours to go we thought we were going to crash with a sudden , blackout to the screen, this was tracked down to condensation on the cord for the screen.
108hours in and still working fine
Environment 3 Heat Sauna – again console inside and controllers and screen outside.
Starting temperature was 100F and Gradually increased to 120F over the last 24hours.
Incidents Strangley enough we thought this would prove to be the ultimate area to kill the console, and to our surprise the only incident we noticed was a slight burning smell that came in around 64hours at 110F, the console was extremely hot when we finished the overall test but had come thru all environments with flying colours.
This console is now back in a normal environment and working fine.
We believe the only way to kill a ps3 console is

Korean Made
Initially I wanna get back the same brand back which is Yuasa, but Norman, the mechanic, recommended this Korean made battery which has some interesting features. It has overcharging prevention circuitry which will trigger an alarm, and also a charging LED which light up when the battery is being charged by the bike.
Although it is not a reputable brand, i don't really mind giving it a try. And at $55, what more can you ask for?

Who needs road when there's DIRT
Checked out the damage system in this game... uber realistic and as claimed by the producer:
"Colin McRae: DIRT's damage system is powered by Codemasters' proprietary engine, Neon. It gives some pretty detailed vehicle and environment damage effects, and the soft body damage system replicates perfect deformation on any vehicle from any impact."
Each individual car in the game is also modelled to a fine degree of accuracy. Each car has specific weak points and strengths, ensuring that they will break, bend, warp and disintegrate realistically and in fantastic detail. Anyway, check out the vid. It also comes with commentary from DIRT producer Alex Grimbley.
That's one game I MIGHT consider getting, heh. Out now for Xbox360. Coming to PS3 in September.
