So i thought I’d download the Avatar movie, yeah, I know, I didn’t watch it in 3D like everyone else. No worries, I’m over it. But after browsing the Pirate Bay, I couldn’t but help notice how many seeders and leechers are for this movie. Holy crap people, it’s off the chart.
As of writing this post at 9PM on Sunday, there were some 1108 Seeders, and 22214 leechers for the 1080P torrent version, by Amiable.

Today I’m officially throwing in the towel on the Apple iPhone 3GS. I know, I know, some people think I’m crazy. But I don’t. Now that the Nexus one is offered on the AT&T wireless network with 3G speeds, I couldn’t be happier. Yeah, it’s pricey, but folks, it’s work it.

If you’re one of the many Halo junkies out there, rest assured that that the beta of Halo Reach will be sent out via mail. Microsoft is currently in the process of sending out emails to all Xbox Live users informing them that they will receive three months of Xbox Live Gold, 400 Microsoft Points and on top of that, and invite to the upcoming Halo: Reach Multiplayer beta.
Sony is claiming the issues that hit all users who have the older Sony PS3 gaming console, known as the “Fatty” has been restored. The glitch was from a Y2K bug, that apparently was never addressed. All users should be able to sign into the PSN.
Quote from Official PlayStation Blog:
We are aware that the internal clock functionality in the PS3 units other than the slim model, recognized the year 2010 as a leap year. Having the internal clock date change from February 29 to March 1 (both GMT), we have verified that the symptoms are now resolved and that users are able to use their PS3 normally.
If the time displayed on the XMB is still incorrect, users are able to adjust time settings manually or via the internet. If we have new information, we will update you through the PlayStation.Blog or PlayStation.com.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Basically, to sum it all up, don’t turn on your Sony Playstation 3 if it’s not a slim. Doing so could result errors in some functionality, such as recording obtained trophies, and not being able to restore certain data.
Quote from Sony Blog:
As you may be aware, some customers have been unable to connect to the PlayStation Network today. This problem affects the models other than the new slim PS3.
We believe we have identified that this problem is being caused by a bug in the clock functionality incorporated in the system.
Errors include:
The date of the PS3 system may be re-set to Jan 1, 2000.
When the user tries to sign in to the PlayStation Network, the following
message appears on the screen; ?An error has occurred. You have been
signed out of PlayStation Network (8001050F)?.
When the user tries to launch a game, the following error message appears
on the screen and the trophy data may disappear; ?Failed to install
trophies. Please exit your game.?
When the user tries to set the time and date of the system via the
Internet, the following message appears on the screen; ?The current date
and time could not be obtained. (8001050F)?
Users are not able to play back certain rental video downloaded from the
PlayStation Store before the expiration date.
We hope to resolve this problem within the next 24 hours. In the meantime, if you have a model other than the new slim PS3, we advise that you do not use your PS3 system, as doing so may result in errors in some functionality, such as recording obtained trophies, and not being able to restore certain data.
As mentioned above, please be advised that the new slim PS3 is not affected with this error. We are doing our best to resolve the issue and do apologize for any inconvenience caused.
