<description><![CDATA[(Credit:USPTO, via Patently Apple)A newly published patent indicates that Apple is apparently tinkering with the idea of a sophisticated infrared system for theiPhone--one that could help in Cupertino's quest to become BFFs with the music and movie industries.What's really going on here is basically a way for an iPhone to receive data about its surrounding environment. The entertainment industry could come in if, for example, a band--or more likely, its record company--doesn't want a concert to be recorded illegally. They could place infrared transmitters around the stage, which, when picked up by an iPhone camera pointed at them, could trigger a disabling of all recording on the phone.But the possibilities for this kind of technology detailed in the patent titled &quot;Systems and methods for receiving infrared data with a camera designed to detect images based on visible light&quot; aren't all so Big Brother. Imagine infrared transmitters next to a museum exhibit that communicates information about the display or points to a related video online. Of course, that transmitter would probably also disable photography, too--didn't you see the sign about no picture taking in this wing of the museum Then again, if photography is allowed, applying infrared data could automatically generate a placestamp or watermark for each picture you take.Apple applies for a lot of patents, so there's no guarantee this awesome/scary infrared technology will come to pass. But if it does, it might be the end of stagediving and crowdsurfing photos forever, so rock on while you still can!(Via Patently Apple)<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sony hasn't provided the public any significant update about the status of thePlayStation Network outage or investigation into the security breach in a week. It turns out its video game publisher partners aren't getting much more new information either.At least that's what we can surmise from a letter from Sony's head of publisher relations that was leaked to gaming blog Industry Gamers last night. The letter mostly repeats what Sony has already posted on its PlayStation blog and written in e-mails to the 77 million users whose information was exposed in a cyberattack more than three weeks ago.But Rob Dyer, senior vice president of Publisher Relations at Sony, did manage to sneak in a few details in the letter about how the attack went down that hadn't been reported before.Sony had told us that the intrusion on its network took place between April 17 and 19. But the letter notes that it wasn't until several PSN servers &quot;unexpectedly rebooted themselves&quot; that the company was alerted there might have been a problem.Dyer also says that while the company thought the unusual network activity was limited to four servers, further inspection revealed it stretched to a total of 10 servers. At that point, all PSN servers were shut down.In the course of the investigation of the attack, Sony found that after the hackers were inside Sony's system, they managed to &quot;hide their presence from system administrators and escalate privileges inside the servers.&quot; They then were able to delete the log files that would have shown exactly what they did while having access to PSN servers.That's it for new information. The most recent update on PSN from Sony came Tuesday, when they said the network would be restored in &quot;a few more days.&quot; Sony has not elaborated on what &quot;a few&quot; means.Meanwhile, there are signs that PlayStation 3 customers are getting impatient. A report this morning says that as the PSN outage has stretched on, retail trade-ins of the gaming console for cash or MicrosoftXBox 360 are on the rise.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
