Digg could be no more soon.
Yesterday saw a momentous event in Internet history to be sure.
Whether it has a positive or negative outcome remains to be seen.

A user posted a link on Digg.com to a line of code on a blog. That line of code allows one to unlock certain copy protection features on an HD DVD. Under order from a Cease and Desist declaration by the AACS, claiming it violates copyright law, Digg administrators removed the posting.

What followed was a growing attempt by Digg users to repost the code while Digg administrators struggled to remove it and ban users who did so. Digg cited its need to operate within the law or face consequences that might topple the company.

Kevin Rose has listened to the people and have decided not to remove this code.
PS3 Home beta releasing soon.

New PS4 in 18 months.

We already know that Ken Kutaragi had a vision for the next several PlayStations, but we didn't think they'd literally be right around the corner. Smarthouse claims that we'll be seeing the next version of Sony's game machine within 18 months, which seems way too soon to us. Upon closer reading, it is.

Despite Smarthouse's "it's a PlayStation 4!" it sounds more like the PS3.5 to us. According to the story, "The device will include the same chipset as the current PS3 but where it will differ from the current model is in the drive bay and in the attachment area. It will also include an extensive software suite for the managing of content being streamed to a TV or Hi Fi source."
