In these videos, you'll see variants of the PSGroove being run on the Nokia N900, a Palm Pre and, most awesome of all, a TI-84 Plus calculator.
Whether you're pro or against the use of devices like this, you have to admit, it's pretty neat seeing someone crack the armour of a PS3 with a calculator.
Update: Sony patches Jailbreak!
A another mandatory PS3 firmware update ...

Treyarch has revealed the first details on the multiplayer modes for Call of Duty: Black Ops, including a series of "adrenaline junkie" game modes it's calling "Wager Matches." These four free-for-all game modes have players wagering their in-game currency, called "COD Points," gambling that they will come in within the top three in any given match.

The "One In The Chamber" mode starts every player with a single pistol and one ...

Alex, global PR for Mad Catz, is PR incarnate. The man is brilliant to interview with more energy and enthusiasm than you can shake a stick at. Once I saw him at the Mad Catz booth here at PAX Prime, I knew we needed to do another interview.
Alex takes some time to tell us all about the new limited edition Call of Duty: Black Ops TRITTON headsets with a run down of everything from pricing to specifications while Alex and I do our very best hostess impressions complete with 'Oos' and 'ahhhs'.
