Titanium Blue PS3 arriving in Japan for Gran Turismo 5 release
I’m loving the new Titanium Blue Playstation 3 soon available in Japan as part of the Gran Turismo 5 release on November 3rd. Hopefully this will start a whole line of custom color PS3 rollouts instead of the prior black and white units. Maybe a pink one will make it into the rooms of young girls celebrating their sweet sixteen.
From Joystiq:
Gran Turismo 5, the racing game with the most ironically slow development ever, will arrive in Japan November 3. It’ll be available not only in a ¥7,980 ($93) standalone pack, but in a first-run Limited Edition with five DLC cars and a 308-page book, for the same price.
Sony is also releasing a ¥35,980 ($421) PS3 bundle, called the Gran Turismo 5 Racing Pack, including the LE of the game and a special "Titanium Blue" 160GB PS3 Slim. This joins the recent white version and the Final Fantasy XIII Lightning edition in the set of awesome PS3 Slim variants unavailable to most of us.
Warning: Toxic Glue Used in Supermarket Food Packaging Poses Serious Health Risk
The food you buy at the supermarket may be contaminated by a highly toxic chemical found in the glue of packaging labels. The chemical is in the same class of toxicity as mercury, asbestos and hydrochloric acid.
It could cause organ failure and even death in high doses.
The Daily Mail reports:
"… researchers … studied four different acrylic adhesives commonly used on food labels. They examined in detail 11 compounds found in the glues, four of which seeped through the packaging. Three of these had low toxicity while the remaining compound belonged to the highest risk category."

Android 2.2 Build FRF83 to be Final Froyo OTA Update
Update: New Build FRF85B released OTA 6/29/08 Download link added for manual updaters.
Nexus One users have been in such a rush to receive the Froyo updates, which has dramatic improvements in speed and slowly introducing Enterprise features aimed at making the Nexus One better in line with commercial adoption. This update is potentially the last and final update as it has been pushed OTA to users in the last 48 hours, showing signs that this is it.
Recently, users have been impatient enough to manually update from ERE27 to FRF50 to FRF72, rather than wait for an OTA Over-The-Air updates to be pushed down the line due to increased excitement for Adobe Flash capabilities and an obvious speed boost.
It might just be easier to wait for the update to come to you if your already on FRF72, as it doesn’t seem to show any drastic visible improvements showing only 645KB in size.
If your still impatient (as I am) then here are the updates, check your build version prior to updating *:
- Download: Update from ERE27 to FRF50 (44.44 MB) (Alternate)
- Download: Update from FRF50 to FRF83 (1.78 MB)
- Download: Update from FRF72 to FRF83 (645 KB)
- Download: Update from FRF83 to FRF85B (506.84 KB)
- Download: Update from EPE54B to FRF85B (44.35 MB)
- Download: FRF85B OTA Update (81.99 MB)
* And as always, update at your own risk as I, AdamEntity, you neighbors, congressmen, BP and Obama do not claim responsibility for damages to your phone.
iPhone 4 Release as Users Complaints Grow Regarding Defects
It is going to be a tough month for Apple’s iPhone 4, starting with the a few problems users experienced with ordering the iPhone online and now even more chaos. The iPhone 4 was to be the next big mobile device following the iPad and the prior years of iPhone success. But could any of these issues lead to a potential recall of the device or at least a trip back to an Apple store for an exchange?
Here are a few of the problems being experienced by a few early adopters:
Froyo 2.2 (FRF72) Second Update Leaked Again
Its been a moment since the last update and now we see Froyo gets a second update which seems to coincide with a recent Flash 10.1 BETA 3 update.
And thanks to CTitanic for pointing out that certain widgets/application have to potential to kill your battery quicker on these new updates. Once I got rid of a few extra apps everything has been smooth sailing.
No word on any additional features of functionality but it available for download via Google for TMobile customers (although many have updated their AT&T phone with it).

* Of course update at your own risk. This is a signed update so it will not root your phone but this is an update from FRF50 below. You must flash to the last Froyo update before beginning this update: Android 2.2 Froyo Manual ‘update.zip’ your Nexus One, where to find it and how

Everyone jumped at the opportunity to get going on the new release for Google’s Nexus One phone which has shown great improvements in performance. Folks from all over have been jumping at the chance to update their phones to 2.2 but the links and additional download links everyone has been providing have been removed or have traffic issues.
This is another attempt at sharing the link with you:

Hopefully this one will be up for awhile. Now you need to understand the update process so here are some easy to following instructions.
Health-Risks associated with 3D Television
Manufactures are rushing to bring 3D television to the home front while using the success for movies like Avatar to bring them to the forefront. However, very little is know about the effects of watching 3D television and possible complications of medical conditions.
Samsung recently issues a health warning about the potential dangers of watching 3D television and says the elderly, pregnant women and those suffering from serious medical conditions are among a wide range of people said to be at risk.
According to Samsung Electronics’ Australian website, sleep deprivation or consuming alcohol while watching 3D programs could be unsafe.
Even watching for too long could cause confusion, nausea, dizziness or convulsions.
It was the first warning of its kind since the firm made a massive pitch for 3D TV late last year.

Microsoft Kin One and Kin Two coming to Verizon
Microsoft’s Kin One and Kin Two should become available tomorrow May 6th for Verizon customers via verizonwireless.com and in stores May 13th.
Microsoft’s new Zune-powered mobile devices aimed at our young generation of social networking music lovers is expected to go on sale tomorrow. The Kin One will sell for $50 and the Kin Two for $100 after mail in rebate and acceptance of a 2-year agreement with Verizon. That seems like a great offer until you take into account an additional $40 for a voice plan and yet another $30 for data.
