Having left my ipod at home today, I returned to listening to Sky.fm to find that Internet Radio is going to DIE! OMGZNO etc, que over the top reactions and such. Anyhow the plan is that US congress is going to raise the royalties for internet radio stations. The stations claim that this will push them out of business. On the flip side, they are indeed in business so perhaps they need to change their business model. Also the thought occurs that if this change is made in the USA, will running your radio servers in another country make a difference? Anyhow you can find the site by clicking on the banner.

Change it! Quick, please god change it!

I got one! Mesarim managed to persuade me that getting a cheap second hand unit from Gamestation for £99 with a game was well worth it. I started on my age old diatribe about how they would be good if they were open and you could actually use them for what they were intended. He informed me that thanks to some dark magic jiggery pokery there is Open Edition firmware to unlock the unit and allow you to use it as it was probably intended by those who designed it before the Sony corporate suits got hold of it. I also nabbed a matt black faceplate from DecalGirl and now have a fully featured and functional PSP

Running 3.40-OE firmware, I am currently playing Final Fantasy 7 (psx version), Zelda: Link to the past (snes) and Wipeout Pure (psp) all from one memory card! I have to say, this coupled with the built in WPA enabled WiFi and internet browser make the PSP a great unit to own! It’s quite shocking the amount of potential that this machine has and that Sony have locked away from all their local fans. Shame on you Sony.. again.
