Only 5 Activations?

Ever wonder if 5 activations for your PlayStation 3 just isn't enough?

For those of you who don't know what I mean by 'activations', there is a limit to how many active PlayStation 3's you can have, this means if you run out and want to re-download content on a 6th PlayStation 3, your out of luck.

Now you may think, 5 activations is a lot, but consider this. You bought your first PlayStation 3, it got YLOD, you forgot to deactivate, bought another, then traded it in for a Slim (when it came out) and once again, forgot to deactivate. Now were at system number 3, your hard drive crashed (got blinking red-light), and still don't know about deactivating. Were now at 4, one more? I'll let you think of what could happen...

Many people shown their dislike to the ability to NOT remotely deactivate a system. Just to provide an example, the PlayStation Share site.

There is also a petition regarding the issue, I highly encourage you to sign it at http://bit.ly/cbKGb3

New to The Three States Blog

Recently we got down to thinking; What could make this brand-new blog more convenient?

Well, we have Twitter Feeds right? So we decided to integrate them into the blog. Since THREE Twitter feeds may be overwhelming or to crowded, we decided to just include one, GamerState, which is more or less just a combination of all our other Twitter Feeds.

This integration of Twitter Feeds may be found the right of our posts, just under the Ad, and is titled "Gamer State".

For more information about or various Twitter Feeds, see the "About Us" page at the top.

Early Review of PlayStation Move, and Xbox's Kinect

An early review (on July 12th) by The Reboot says PlayStation Move will be victorious over Xbox's Kinect but I guess we'll have to wait until November 4th to see for sure! (See the review below)

More Signs You Play MW2 Too Much

Recently we showed you signs you play Modern Warfare 2 too much. And now we're back with more!

1. When you open your laptop and try to launch a predator missile.
2. When you enter a marathon and try to get Marathon Pro.
3. When you wake up on the wrong side of the bed and complain of a "bad spawn".
4. When C4 becomes more than just a bingo number to you.
5. When you begin referring to your friends by their gamertags.
6. When your kill streak is greater than the number of times you've been laid.
7. You think freezing yourself gives you Cold-blooded.
8. You lose a hold-your-breath contest, thinking "This guy's got Steady Aim Pro!".
9. When you play a FFA paint-ball match, get the last kill, and wonder why it doesn't replay in slow motion.
10. You walk outside and say, "WOW! These graphics rock!, But the gameplay sucks!"
11. You see your best friend talking to a hot girl and get pissed because you can't seem to join the session in progress.
12. When you play dodge-ball and say, "FRAG OUT!" every time you throw a ball, and shout, "GRENADE!!!" every time a ball lands near you.
13. You say, "The bomb has been planted!" every time you open your binder at school, and you say, "Bomb defused!" everytime you close it.

If you have any of these symptoms, we suggest you either stop playing Modern Warfare 2, or just go and buy Black Ops!

How to Install Adobe Air on Ubuntu 64-Bit

Recently I tried to install an Adobe Air program, and I ran into a problem. Adobe Air doesn't support 64-Bit Edition native. This guide will show you how to make it 64-Bit compatible. (If you are using 10.04 or older you may need to install ia32-libs first)

1. Download the Adobe Air.deb file.
2. Open Terminal (This can be found in "Applications > Accessories > Terminal")
3. In Terminal go to the directory where you downloaded the .deb file. (By default this is ~/Downloads):
   

   1. cd 'Directory of .deb file'
      
4. Create a temporary directory:
   

   1. mkdir tmp
5. Extract the .deb file to the temporary directory:
   

   1. dpkg-deb -x adobeair.deb tmp
6. Extract the Control Files
   

   1. dpkg-deb --control adobeair.deb tmp/DEBIAN
7. Change the Architecture Parameter from 'i386' to 'all':
   

   1. sed -i "s/i386/all" tmp/DEBIAN/control
8. Repackage the .deb File
   

   1. dpkg -b tmp adobeair_64.deb
9. Now you may install Adobe Air by either double clicking the new .deb file (adobeair_64.deb), or entering the following into the same Terminal window
   

   1. sudo dpkg -i adobeair_64.deb

Enjoy Adobe Air on your Ubuntu System!

New Facebook Picture Viewer

Facebook recently (unsure how recently), rolled out a new feature. When you browser photos now, instead of it being a new page (with full size photo), a nice (HD looking) pop-up will open above the thumbnail page. This also supports editing (for owner). Clearly I am having a bit of trouble explaining this so here are some pictures.

New Design. In case anyone's wondering, this is my friend's turban collection.

Now unfortunately, we couldn't get a picture of the old design, but were sure you all remember. Also in addition, if you are the owner of the photo, you now have additional edit options. Such as Rotate.
