Trying to view a video on CNN web site was impossible. Using Ubuntu and Firefox with Flash installed I got a message from the web server telling me that I need Flash player version 8 or above. The problem is that I have version 10 of Flash player installed (and working perfectly). I thought that a site like CNN has better QA team to check its scripts

this message from the CNN server.

This CNN.com feature is optimized for Adobe Flash Player version 8 or higher.

Check out the screen shot on the right, WTF ?

Consumer electronics giant Sony announced a new version of its Playstation Portable handheld games console that can be used as a telephone, to go on sale in Europe and the United States in mid-October.

The Playstation Portable 3000, which has been the subject of speculation on technology websites, will have a built-in microphone and a new screen which has more colors and is better suited for use outdoors, Sony said at a video games convention in Leipzig, Germany on Wednesday.

The PSP already supports the software program Skype, which enables users to make free telephone calls over the internet, but the new PSP, with built-in microphone, will make the process easier, Sony says.

“We believe that this will establish the PSP as a viable communication device,” said David Reeves, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.

The PSP 3000 will retail for 199 euros ($294), compared to 169 euros for the current slim version of the PSP, which will remain on sale.
