Coburn’s Domain 4, as Red9378 managed to leak the fact that it’s in development, has a rough release date of late 2010/early 2011. By rough, we mean “not set in concete” as it could change at any time. As mentioned on Twitter, Coburn’s Domain 4 is intended to be the fastest Coburn’s Domain yet. As CD4 takes shape, we’ll be sure to keep you informed.

Results:

Only 1 sets of Batteries are already slightly fully charge when received. Takes 5 hours to fully charge the batteries once they fully depleted. You get 6 batteries included with the charger with 2 already in the charger itself, along with a 1 Year warranty.

Once Batteries are charged the light will show green for 6 hours and then turn off. Charging Light is Amber.

If you want to purchase this item, head over to the Apple Online Store and search for part number “MC500X/A”. At current time of review update, the Australian Apple Store is Offline so I’m unable to give you the direct link.

Postage is done via the TNT Express Australia service. I was told that I would get it on Wednesday the 18th August but didn’t arrived until a few days later. That’s one of the downsides since I’m in a rural area.

Overall

I’m very pleased that I have my AA Apple Battery Charger and i would recommend to all if you have a apple product requiring AA Batteries then this is a must purchased item. 7/10 Stars

That means if you miss out on your weekly dose of your favorite anime series, just jump on Hoshi Anime and watch your missed episode, without having to wait until it’s on TV. The site aims to provide the best anime viewing experience, like an anime library. Each series page has got a single player with a preset playlist, not only to reduce clutter but to save having a page for every single episode.

EDIT: We’ve just noticed that they also offer real-time streaming of Japanese Anime TV stations.

You can access Hoshi Anime by clicking here, or use the link box on the site’s sidebar to your right.

Unfortunately, the success the device has been shortlived. Sony recently demanded that all orders for this device to be cancelled, in which the manufacturers agreed to and promptly the modchip supplier refunded all the paid orders that were queued.

Sony is currently taking legal action (as in a lawsuit) against the device, by requesting a sample of the Jailbreak devices to be sent to Sony HQ for analysis on the jailbreak. Developers have also suggested that a firmware upgrade release is all that’s required to plug the exploit these devices use, eventually making them redundant.

Despite the Jailbreak law being passed in the US making it legal to Jailbreak devices in the US, Sony may have to go the extra mile in order to win the lawsuit.

We’ll keep you updated on the situation as it plays out.

OzModChips, an Australian modchip supplier is currently selling a limited number of “PlayStation Plug-n-Play Jailbreak” devices which, as the name suggests, jailbreaks your PlayStation 3 for use with game backups, while also allowing gamers to dump (legit owned) games to external HDDs or USB Devices and playing them directly off there.

At time of writing, OzModChips currently has sold over 60% of the first offical device order, so grab them while they are selling like hotcakes. OzModChips also do worldwide shipping, allowing gamers to get cheap but great quality modchips for a fraction of the price you’d pay elsewhere. You can read more about it here. Sadly, users of this device will possibly have to keep their PS3s at a certain firmware version, should Sony spin around and patch the exploit before the PS3 jailbreak device spreads like wildfire.

The email which Coburn’s Domain received is listed below:

Hello Modchip lovers,

It’s been a long 4 years for PS3 users waiting a modchip to become available for the console. Out of nowhere, on Wednesday last week, our ozmodchips store in Kew Australia got the worlds first sample of a new device known as the “PS jailbreak” a plug and play device that allows you to backup your original games to hard drive (internal or external) and play them directly from there.

Fast forward 1 week, and the videos we put on youtube have had 1.8 million views, and this is the first day we have had 30 minutes spare to email our mailing list.
Instead of repeating everything on the product page, we are going to keep it short and sweet.

Ps3 Modchip Page ? http://www.ozmodchips.com/ps-jailbreak-worlds-first-ps3-modchip-plug-and-play-p-68.html

Please read the page in full BEFORE emailing us with questions, we are currently very overloaded and most of the calls/emails are already answered on the product page.

We ordered a large amount the day we got our sample. 2 Days ago we sold out of this amount, however we have doubled our initial order, and all stock is arriving at the same time. Right now we are 60% sold.

A note to all Australians : All items are sent for express for free. DO NOT select express post when you are buying them, just select registered post and we will just send it express on the day they come in.

A Note to international buyers: We display prices with GST included. This means when you checkout, 10% of the products price will be deducted.

According to an article posted on Redmond Pie, a person by the name of Mary Jo Foley from the All About Microsoft website has managed to grab a screenshot of the latest platform test version of Microsoft’s Web Browser, Internet Explorer 9, which was accidentally posted for the world to see on a Russian website. While the screenshot and info has been pulled from the russian website in question, Mary Jo manage to save the details and spill the beans, as follows:

The Microsoft Russia site said there will be a new, simplified navigation bar with IE 9 that will leave “more room for the (Web) site itself.” There will be some navigation tools for commonly used functions — things like a back button and a combined address/search bar. But the numerous menu items in older versions of IE have “been consolidated into one,” the site said. “Now the user sees only what you need to navigate.”

Mary Jo then goes on and explains the inner depths of IE9, which also brings out a interesting feature that may be of some use to IE-only users:

The Russian site also mentioned “tear-off tabs” — a capability that will build on Windows’s Aero Snap feature. Snap allows users to more easily look at two pages, side-by-side by “snapping” them to the sides of their PC screen. Firefox and Safari both already include tear-off tabs, allowing users to select tabbed items and turn them into separate windows.

Internet Explorer 9 is also boasting a better HTML rendering engine, being HTML 5.0 Ready and also offloading web page processing tasks to the GPU (Graphics Card) via using a internal DirectX engine. Fear not, Internet Explorer 9 is not a IE8 with a new coat of paint, according to the Redmond Pie article, it has been written from the ground up, to be more secure, and as a whole, run faster thanks to off-loading work to the GPU.

A beta is expected around September 15th.

Thanks for your patience while I sort this out.

Parts of the website affected include this main site and forums. However, since downtime will be kept to a minimum (if any at all), so there’s nothing to worry about (eg. getting booted off when the server goes down or anything like that). We’ll keep you posted on our diagnostic results.

I, (Coburn), put the Jailbreak app to the test. The victim device was a demonstration iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.1 at a shopping mall. I fired up Safari, entered “http://jailbreakme.com” and hit go. Luckily, it was connected via the local Telstra Store wireless, making download times minimal. Just “slide to jailbreak” and presto! “Sit tight” said the prompt. About 5 minutes later, Cydia was installed and the device was jailbroken.

If you have a iPhone with iOS 3.x/4.0.x or a iPad, point your web browser (Safari) to http://jailbreakme.com . It’s free and it only takes a few minutes to install. And you can easily revert to a non-jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad by connecting to iTunes and clicking “Restore to defaults”.

Back in 2008, when Google launched Android, it made a wave in the mobile phone market. While the iPhone back then was a improved iPod Touch, Android paled in contrast when it came to the gaming section. Not anymore. According to an article over at Techeld, it is rumored that Sony might be adding Android into the mix, and as the mock picture suggests above, Sony might be able to produce a PSP Go-sized Android phone along with a Game Pad for playing Android and possibly even PSP games.

While the rumor is currently up in the air, it is possible that as Android adventures into new territories (with the recent announcement of Google TV and Zynga to bring Facebook Games to the Android platform), Sony may be able to pull off a device that not only plays your PSP Games, but also makes phone calls.
