Atari Loses Copyright Suit Against RapidShare 198

Posted by Soulskill on Friday January 07, 2011 @07:28AM from the game-over-play-again? dept.

dotarray writes "Online copyright lawsuits aren't all about music. Video game publisher Atari Europe recently became concerned that copies of its game Alone in the Dark were floating around one-click file-hosting service RapidShare, so it took the hosting company to court. While they won the initial case, the decision was overturned on appeal, finding that RapidShare is doing nothing wrong."

Passage of Time Solves PS3 Glitch 147

An anonymous reader writes "A quick update on the widespread PlayStation 3 glitch we discussed recently: as of last night (Monday, March 1st) the problem has resolved itself. I powered up my PS3 to find the clock was set to April 29th, 2020, but once I went into the system menu and set the date and time via the internet I got an accurate date. That seems to be the test of whether your PS3 is 'fixed' or not; Sony says you should be all set."

I use mobipocket (free ebook reader s/w) on my PDA phone. I have over 400 scifi ebooks on my phone in a micoSD flashcard, and it takes less than a gigabyte of storage. You can adjust the font and font size to anything that looks good to you. I get most of my ebooks from www.baen.com and www.fictionwise.com . They each have free ebooks that you can download to see if this format works for you. Almost all ebooks at www.baen.com have sample chapters you can read. It's easy to find a pre-quel or sequel to a book that you really like (if there exists one). You can buy a kindle ebook reader from Amazon books online. There are many ways to be able to select new scifi books to read without spending time in a bookstore.
