Geohot Jailbreaks PlayStation 3 With Custom Firmware 3.55, Runs Homebrew [Video]
After releasing PS3 root keys publicly this week, the famous iPhone hacker George Hotz (aka Geohot) is back today with an update on his site, that reads “I made a video”. The videos shows a jailbroken PlayStation 3 on the latest 3.55 firmware, running homebrew.
It’s 5AM, this is homebrew. No release dates as usual.

Last week, a small group of German hackers called fail0verflow found an exploit that could completely open up the PlayStation 3 console. Dubbed as “epic PS3 security bypass”, they found the method to calculate the security keys, which is just a Sony signature that lets the PS3 know whether the application they’re trying to open is legit, or not.

The 'N Word' To Be Edited Out Of New Edition Of Huckleberry Finn
This will certainly stir up some controversy.
The new edition Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn will remove all references to the "N" word and replace it with the word "slave." The word "Injun" will also be removed from the novel.
Twain expert Alan Gribben, who spearheaded the change, says his version is not a way of "neutering" the classic book, but just rather updating it. He says, "Race matters in these books. It’s a matter of how you express that in the 21st century."
We're not sure if censoring the words is the best idea to teach children about classic literature and even more importantly, American history.
What do U think?
