As read on the IE developers blog today, it appears the encouraged engineers have finally started to look out of their basement windows.

Selling a PSP on eBay is a copyright violation
Note to myself: Selling your old Sony PSP and writing that Firmware 1.50 is installed makes eBay delete your auction with “MC047 eBay Listing Violation: Copyright Violation – Unauthorized Item” reasoning the auction was selling “illegal copies/backups” or advertised to do so.
At least they keep auctions where people advertise their PSP having “the super duper” M33 firmware installed…
Bah! Well, what’s left for me is a shameless plug to the new auction…
Update 28/05/09: Unbelievable, the new auction which I carefully checked to not contain any freaking reference to anything copyright violating has also been removed… Also no clue why as I only received the typical standard “don’t sell illegal copies/backups” E-Mail. Contacted eBay support, let’s see…
It appears though that I am not alone. There are a couple of people having trouble selling their PSP on eBay. However in contrast to my case where I list the original unmodified 1.50 firmware, they had used rather problematic “wording” like “Pandora Battery” or “Custom Firmware/M33″ and alike.
Reply and solution 28/05/09: Great, I have received a polite and exact explaination from the eBay security team. The problem for eBay really was the installed 1.50 firmware on my PSP which is considered “open/hackable to circumvent technical protections” (like copy protection). They recommend installing the latest PSP firmware before selling first.

Spam with creativity and just use HTML tables
Hilarious. Using a <table> to infect my eyes with even more Viagra. At least that way it is easier to understand than “V3ia6r4″.
They are past ASCII Viagra already, ain’t they?

Internet Explorer rant, Browser wars and new Safari 4 beta
The norwegian “voksen” country’s major sites now warn Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) users about the outdated crap they browse with.
Some kind of “movement” formed out of this and other sites attempt to do the same or even block IE6 (for reference; Facebook did show a warning about IE6 since quite a while already).
On top of this it looks like finally not only web developers rant about Internet Explorer.

iPhone Dev, OS11 repository changes and hope for OGG
So today I joined the official iPhone Developer folks. First thing you do is to download the heavy iPhone SDK which comes in a “.dmg” file as many other bundles on Mac OS X.
What do you do though when you download it in Linux and want to look into it?
