Proper web browsing on a console: Firefox coming to the Sony PS3?
It seems the age of humdrum, crippled browsers on consoles might finally be coming to an end! Though the details are very slim, with the only source being an unnamed insider very close to Sony, it is exciting news indeed if it turns out to true.Games consoles have always had feeble browser offerings, with PS3's default browser generally considered one of the worst and most unreliable.

Clever marketing ploy, to be sure, but there are plenty of games I like that run on hardware I already own. It follows that I normally ignore most console news and announcements unless they involve doing something useful, like cracking firmware and booting up Linux on the stupid things.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
