Apple claim it has a battery life of 10 hours.
the tablet will cost between $499 and $829

George Hotz (famous for unlocking Apple’s iPhone as a teenager
now claims he has hacked Sony’s PlayStation 3 (PS3).

The PS3 is the only games console that has not been hacked,despite being on the market for three years.

He is not yet ready to reveal the full details of the hack but said that it was “5% hardware and 95% software”.

In addition, he said, the hack would allow people to play older PS2 games on their consoles.

Recent versions of the PS3 do not have the ability to play PS2 games after Sony controversially removed a piece of hardware.

I love my PS3 its a stunning machine, but the games are too expensive. (£50! your having a laugh)

Time to stock up on blanks and hunt for the Blockbuster membership card again.

Great pic showing the recent freezing weather conditions in the UK ,
the coldest temperature recorded was -22.3C in the Highland village of Altnaharra, Scotland.

Closer to home -18C was recorded at Woodford,Cheshire and -13C in Manchester.

It snowed overnight,so naturally Stockport came to a standstill.

I left the depot at 7am and got back at 10:30am
and only got as far as the A6 (2 miles)
before turning back.
