Yes. That's right, Meh. I just didn't want to have "I'm a douchebag" as the caption for my journal any more.

Waiting around another week or so for Microsoft's Xbox 360 Elite to hit the market didn't seem all that painful from here, but to those looking to get their sweaty palms around the sleek, HDMI-enabled rig on the double, you can apparently fulfill your fantasy right now. Unsurprisingly surfacing on none other than eBay, the world's first Xbox 360 Elite bundle to leave Target's doors in a customer's hands has arrived, and if the small bevy of photos and actual receipt aren't enough to arraign some careless bullseye-sporting employee, we don't know what is. Of course, if you're still unwilling to shell out the above-MSRP asking price, you can always patiently place a pre-order, enjoy the hands-on photos, and envision yourself in the place of those Microsoft drones playing with it on video.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Another PlayStation 3 firmware update, another list of issues. Unfortunately, this seems to be somewhat of a recurring theme, and while users may not have found issues with last month's refresh, the v1.7 isn't as kind. Reportedly, the latest update enables the PS3 "to play PSOne titles that are already saved on your PSP," but numerous sources are suggesting that the feature, um, doesn't work. On a lighter note, PSOne and PS2 dual shock controllers will now shake, rattle, 'n rumble when connected to your PS3, and those with PSPs sitting around can also hit up v3.4 (required for the PSP-to-PS3 playback) on their handheld machine. So, dearest readers, we'll point the question at you: is your recently update PS3 playing nice with those PSOne selections?Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Beware what sites do with your client."Malicious JavaScript delivers browser exploits by, for example, using adodb.Stream() or setSlice() objects, often dropping ActiveX/VBScript content in order to download malware onto a system. Obfuscated JavaScript in its simplest form uses opaque code to thwart static code review and thereby hide its author's methods and intents. The obfuscation can range from simple ASCII chr() or ord() techniques to Base64 encoding or use of a tool such as iWebTool HTML Encrypt to hide HTML or to string splits or joins to build an AJAX object. On the simple end, for example, a string split would render a word like this:
Daxhi="A"+pplica"+"tion";
Vvu=".";
This resulting malicious code, of which the above is a small portion, would be easily detected by a human, but, as Nazario pointed out, it presents an effective stumbling block for automated detection.
