PlayStation 3 has given modders and hackers a run for their money. For nearly fours years hackers have tried to create a working mod that would bypass the PS3 software protection and run homebrew applications and backups. However, there has been no real breakthroughs, until now, if you believe what PS3News has to say.
According to the site, a product called PSJailBreak will allow owners of any version of PS3 to run backups of PS3 games as well as homebrew applications. The $170 mod is a piece of software stored in a USB drive. By inserting the thumb drive to your PS3 you’ll be able to install and run the launcher application in seconds without permanently modifying the console or its software.
The PSJailBreak application also includes a backup tool which allows users to backup their game discs to the PS3 hard drive. Movies whether DVD or Blu-ray, or previous generation PlayStation games aren’t supported by the tool. The backup manager can also be downloaded for free.
At OzModChips.com the Stock Status says they’ll be shipping preorders by the end of the month.
There are couple of YouTube videos (below) and Twitter updates that say it is working. Hopefully we can confirm this in the coming days. However, for now you should probably take it with a grain of salt.

YouTube has announced this weekend that they have begun testing a new way of embedding code that would support both HTML5 and Flash.
By using “iframes,” the code will either use the Flash plugin or switch to HTML5, depending on what device or browser you are currently using.
If the video has ad overlays, or other features not yet supported by HTML5, it will force Flash, but that is the only time.
Embedded videos should now work on Android and iOS devices, which do not have Flash support yet.
YouTube Mobile already has HTML5 built-in, but now the embedded videos will work on other sites, such as when browsing Afterdawn from your smartphone or tablet.

Google Inc.’s YouTube online video service, and Rumblefish are reportedly set to hold a joint press conference on June 29. The pair are likely to announce a new deal over the use of licensed music on YouTube videos uploaded by users.
An e-mail pitch seen by CNET indicates that Rumblefish chief executive Paul Anthony and a YouTube executive will hold the conference.
Rumblefish is a music-licensing firm that arranges deals with music companies and artists for the use of their music in marketing campaigns or products offered by third parties. YouTube enlisted Rumblefish’ services back in 2008 to give video uploaders a legal option for using music in their content.
We hope the press conference means something good for the millions-strong YouTube community.
