THESE DAYS all the fancy new handhelds and consoles are turning into what are basically small computers with pre-installed operating systems to run the games and utilities.

Sony's PlayStation 3 will be capable of running Mac's Tiger and the Linux operating systems, but it would seem that we won't have to wait that long to see an operating system on one of Sony's latest and greatest. After doing some testing the website PSP Update, here has proven that the PlayStation Portable will run operating systems such as Windows, FreeDOS, Linux, DLX Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, PicoBSD, Pragma Linux, Debian 3.0r0 and 2.2r5, and any other disk images with pre-installed systems on them.

What would you want with Linux on your PSP? We have no doubt creative answers will be handed to us in the form of working systems shortly. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
