Sony bars all third-party USB peripherals with latest PlayStation 3 firmware update?
Do you use third-party USB devices with your PlayStation 3? Not any more you don't! But don't worry though, it's for your own good - those devices were probably about to explode at any moment anyhow...
Sony has issued a consumer warning to anyone who currently uses an unofficial PlayStation 3 controller.
In a bit to prevent the world's first PS3 modchip, PS Jailbreak, from working, Sony has launched firmware update v3.50, which renders any third party USB peripheral inoperable.
Furthermore, the company warns consumers that their unnofficial controllers may explode!

NVIDIA and Portland Group announce CUDA C to x86 compiler
Want to run CUDA code without an NVIDIA graphics board? Soon you'll be able to - or rather, soon developers will be able to compile CUDA applications to run on x86 CPUs, although I wouldn't expect anything too exciting performance-wise from them.
The PGI CUDA C compiler for x86 platforms will allow developers using CUDA to compile and optimize CUDA applications to run on x86-based workstations, servers and clusters with or without an Nvidia GPU accelerator. When run on x86-based systems without a GPU, PGI CUDA C applications will use multiple cores and the streaming SIMD (single instruction multiple data) capabilities of Intel and AMD CPUs for parallel execution.
"CUDA C for x86 is a perfect complement to CUDA Fortran and PGI’s optimizing parallel Fortran and C compilers for multi-core x86. It is another important element in our on-going strategy of providing HPC programmers with development tools that give PGI users a full range of options for optimizing compute-intensive applications, while allowing them to leverage the latest technical innovations from AMD, Intel and Nvidia," said Douglas Miles, the director of the Portland Group.
