Now you can install Ubuntu Linux on your Playstation 3. There are detailed instructions about requirements, how to format and installing the OS. Seems like you can also access and watch youtube videos directly on your PS 3.

Head over to http://psubuntu.com/ to start now !

P.S.

1. I wish there is some resource like this to install some free Linux on PS2 also. If anyone has got some links please comment here.
2. I really love Ubuntu Logos :)

Some days back Orkut blocked the Right-click feature on the photos of other users. Since then users are not able to download the pictures directly. I have some solutions posted here which can help you to download any picture from Orkut albums.

1) Save All images on any page method - I have written about this already. You just need to click Tools>Page Info>Media on the main toolbar. Check out the details over here.

2) Drag and Drop the image on the tab - You definitely need firefox for this with multiple tabs open. If you have only one page open, just press CTRL+T to open another blank tab. Then drag and drop the image to that tab as shown below. (click to enlarge)


After that just right-click the image and save it :) Easy as that.

3) MS Paint method - This is a nasty one :) Just after opening the photo press the Print Screen key on your keyboard. Then open "Paint" from accessories or by typing "mspaint" in Run. Then press Ctrl+V to paste it. Now you can use tools to crop it or just give 'Save As' to save.

Rejoice fellow Bangaloreans! Here is a post dedicated to all of you.

An Interesting fact

Did you know that "Bangalored" is an adjective found in the dictionary. A person is said to be bangalored if he lost his job because the work got outsourced to Bangalore or any other city in India/Asia.

Lot of people in US got bangalored that it became an issue during the US Presidential election. That's exactly when this word was coined.

"He got bangalored last week" is an example of its usage.
You can also type this word "Bangalored" in Google search & see.

I searched for this word on dictionary.com & Here is the result.
