Sep 25th 2009 4:13PM Firmware 3.01, new PS3 Slim model, no problems for me playing DVDs, Blu-rays and games…
Though I *did* hit the Drake problem with fw 3.0 - impressed that it was only two weeks for an update, I know some companies can take months before it even has a patch ready for that famed tuesday ;)

250W?!? The new model pulls around 70W playing Blu-rays and is much quieter than the ‘phat’.. and still doesn’t have an external power supply like that other console.

Also- Isn’t it time manuf. made joint Bluetooth and IR remotes to help in a transition to BT?
As Steven said, the only thing left for remotes is a standard protocol, which would be easy to define, as its just a bunch of keycodes over BT-HID, do you guys wanna work on it? :)

Jul 21st 2009 1:40PM Hi guys,
I’ve been a long-time listener from the UK, stumbled across the podcast one day and noticed it was in Ogg Vorbis and been a subscriber since…
Wondered what your motivation was to produce the file each show, better quality at lower file sizes? for Linux users?
… But I digress: Have you been following the HTML5 codec discussions? So far Firefox 3.5, Google’s Chrome (dev channel) and Opera all support Ogg in the audio tag, so vistors to the Web site can listen along to the podcast without loading Flash! (something I know causes you humorous mocking for its less than brilliant performance)
Things arent all perfect for web developers, Microsoft still hasnt joined the html5 video/audio party, and Apple are pushing h264 hard in Safari (unacceptable for sites like wikipedia and archive.org), though they have a comparatively small share compared to Firefox - it appears soon SD media on the Web wont need plugins.. ..onwards towards HD media next!
