Is NBC erasing Conan O'Brien off the internet?


It would seem that NBC is going out of their way by pretending that Conan O'Brien never existed.  Just a few days ago Hulu.com had available every recording of the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien.  Now as of today, none of them are to be found.  Same thing for NBC.com and YouTube.

The only logical conclusion for this must be with the  The Tonight Show being back on the air with Jay Leno.

Interestingly enough, Sarah Palin was the first guest since Jay Leno came back and one of the things Leno said was that Palin has never been on a late night show (which is false) as Conan O'Brien had her on as a guest.  This seems to insinuate the notion that Conan O'Brien never existed on NBC before...

If it's true that this is what NBC is trying to accomplish, then that's pretty shitty considering that Conan worked for them 17+ years.

Have the old PS3 model? Sony advises not turning it on until they sayotherwise


Apparently there is some sort of outage on Sony's Playstation Network.  The issue started late last night as people were being kicked offline with an error code: 8001050F

If you have one of the 'fatter' versions of the PS3, Sony is advising you to keep your console off until they can fix this problem.  There is some sort of time & date issue where by turning it on you risk losing your stored trophy data among corrupting your save data.    That's  pretty severe...

Not only could you risk losing your saved data, but anything that may be subscription based... If you rent movies from the Playstation Network, the console will assume the date is wrong and prevent playback of that rented movie.

I myself own a 60GB Playstation 3 that has support in playing PS1 & PS2 games..   I recently started playing Castlevania: Lament of Innocence and was looking forward to continue playing it after work.. But looks like that won't be the case...

*sigh*
