Good thing i stopped buying Sony crud a long time ago. If MS follow's suit, I guess I'll skip them as well.

Comment: Hate Govt. Websites (Score 1) 596
It's like their developers don't know anything at all. How can we expect for them to deliver a petition if they can't even build a website (that serves the country) that is at least cross compatible with all the mainstream browsers. This site is impossible to use in Chrome. I bet they developed and tested in IE. Time for a new government.

It would be truly helpful if somebody like Google started a developer/user community for their free services such as this. This would bridge the gap between those who need and those who can provide. A little consideration can go a long ways.

I find CodeIgniter to be the best platform with just enough tools to help you get the job done.
Heavy community support and tons of plugins too.
Combine this with jquery or javascriptmvc and you can build some awesome / scalable / maintainable web apps.
It's worth taking a look at.
Hope this helps.
+ - Sony Loses Bid To Pull Twitter, YouTube User Info

RedEaredSlider (1855926) writes "A Federal court in California has denied Sony's motion to pull the personal information of Twitter and YouTube users who might have downloaded code that allows PlayStations to run with alternative operating systems.
The company had filed a motion for discovery, asking for the personal information of users of Twitter and YouTube who might have a connection with George Hotz, who had published a piece of code on his Web site that allowed a PlayStation 3 to run other operating systems as well as pirated games. Sony was, in essence, asking for the contact information of people who had commented on the video Hotz posted showing how he used the code, as well as people he may have corresponded with via Twitter.
The judge in the case, Susan Illston, denied the motion. Hotz is still under a restraining order that forbids him from offering any methods or software that allow people to modify their Sony PlayStations. Nor is he allowed to provide links to sites that offer such methods or software. He is also ordered to turn over his computers to Sony."
