Apparently Sony has run out of hard drives to put in their Playstation 3’s. Hmm!?! How does this happen? How does a company like Sony run out of hard drives for such a popular product during the busiest time of the year in retail stores? Well I hope they rebound quickly, I love my PS3 and thoroughly enjoy recommending them.
This Week In Tech!
A great technology based website slash series of podcasts is TWIT.tv. Leo Laporte and Paul Thurrott host the now popular and my personal favorite podcast, Windows Weekly. They cover great, up-to-date topics around Microsofts very own Windows. Anything and everything Windows based is covered.
Another great podcast from Leo with guest host Steve Gibson of GRC.com and creator of the ever popular Spinrite, is Security Now! Leo and Steve cover great security topics that are good for tech heads like me to know like new viruses and security holes with multiple devices such as Apple devices, Microsoft devices, and other things like cell phones and such.

The new Apple iPhone 3Gs is right around the corner everyone. With the release of the Palm Pre this week, another iPhone Killer, does apple have enough in this new version of the iPhone to fend off its competitors once again.
Well in my own personal opinion, yes! Apple has finally made completed what I believe is the complete package. When the first 3G was released with a camera that couldn’t record video, zoom or focus I thought, WTF. Now the new 3Gs has 3 mega pixel camera that does all three of those things.
What else can we expect? As I mentioned in my other post about this, Cut&Paste, MMS, and a landscape keyboard. Its cool. But also there will be the ability to edit videos, record voice memo’s, create slideshows and more.
Apples new iPhone will be release June 17th with two price points. The 16GB (now the low end option) for $199 and the 32GB version (new) for $299. So what happened to the 8GB 3G? Apple is dropping the price to $99 so they can sell out of that model. Great opportunity for those without an iPhone to get one.
What about those that already have an iPhone. “Im not paying another $200+ for another iPhone!” Well you don’t have to. The firmware upgrade, which is free, will also be available on June 17th for those who want to upgrade. The only difference is, obviously you won’t have the 3MP camera, you can’t record videos, you won’t get the cool new compass (but there are plenty of apps for that), won’t be able to edit photo’s, and no voice control. Eh Well! You still get the cut, copy and paste, MMS, landscape keyboard, and more.
