As we reported earlier this month, NIS America is making several of its previously UMD-only PSP games available for download from the US PlayStation Store late tonight / early tomorrow morning to coincide with the launch of PSP Go . For a period of one week, Blade Dancer: Lineage of Light , Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness , Dragoneer’s Aria , Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman! , Mana Khemia: Student Alliance and Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? will be available at 50% off their normal cost — a welcome offer, given that many digital titles on the store are keeping pricing parity with their retail UMD equivalents. NIS is also asking visitors to the PlayStation Blog whether they want to see a UMD release of Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! by means of a poll that currently has the “ayes” and “nays” running nearly neck-and-neck.

Nvidia’s Jen-Hsun Huang showed off the first Fermi card - it’s a Tesla card, but expect the GeForce card to look pretty similar. After revealing the new Fermi architecture , Nvidia’s CEO Jen-Hsun Huang showed off the first Fermi-based graphics card to the audience at his opening keynote at GPU Technology Conference in San Jose, California. There’s very little we can say about the card at the moment, other than it appears to use a single 8-pin power connector - we’ll let the pictures do the talking… Update: There’s also a six pin connector on the board as well. Discuss in the forums . Original source: feedproxy.google.com , delivered by rss-farm.ru

What’s been on the Internet 12 hours too long, is 5 years too old and demonstrates the gaping chasm between blog journalism and credibility? This Huffington Post piece pointing to a five year old YouTube video as footage from yesterday’s tsunami in American Somoa. Are you getting all your news on the Internet? Constantly cruising a mix of major and minor media sites, or sucking them all in at once through an aggregator like Google News? Pointing fingers at blogs, Amazon’s Kindle, Google News and Youtube has become a popular habit of once healthy — and now hurting — newspapers and broadcast outlets both great and small. even Twitter fell complicit, with both @ huffingtonpost and @ Alyssa_Milano tweeting it to nearly 200k followers each, both without a hint of retraction
The rest is here:
Huffington Post proves newspapers aren’t dead, yet.

Up to 20,000 older set-top boxes may stop working today when the freeview channels are all retuned in the UK. An upgrade designed to allow future broadcasting of HD television on Freeview will potentially see up to 20,000 digital set-top boxes stop working and 25 million boxes in some 18 million homes need re-tuning today. The upgrade will also give 500,000 new homes access to channel Five and a new channel called Quest will be available, although nearly half a million homes will find they can no longer access ITV3 and ITV4. The BBC has stated that all Freeview TV sets, set-top boxes and digital recorders including TopUp TV and BT Vision boxes will need to be retuned from lunchtime today. Certain models by Daewoo, Labgear, Triax and Bush will probably stop working entirely. However it’s possible that many devices including other set-top boxes, recorders and TV’s may be able to be updated via an over air download (OAD) or via a DVD. Channel favourites and any scheduled recordings may also be affected by the update, which has been advertised via on-screen messages leading up to the 30th September roll out
