Comodo Firewall 3 Beta2 is Out!

Nelson — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 19:31:09 +0000

I just visited Comodo’s Beta Corner today and found that beta 2 was out! Great news! For 4 months I’ve been waiting for Comodo’s amazing free firewall product that supports Windows Vista. And it’s finally almost here.

Being one of the many Comodo firewall fans, I was going to change to Windows XP after I got my laptop back in May. The reason is that Comodo firewall version 2.x doesn’t support Windows Vista. However, lucky for all us, they had an announcement version 3 which supports Vista, 64bit Windows and it’s almost alpha.
Well, that was the waiting history.

The next update will be a RC and I am going to definitely put a RC version on my day-to-day use laptop!

Thumbs up Comodo!

Take apart a friend’s PSP

My friend’s PSP is not working no more. The “R” trigger button seems always be pressed by an invisible force;) .

The syndrom is that he can start a game, but cannot quit a game by pressing Home button. Once the back to home screen is shown, there’s no response by press any button except the home key itself.

Also in MHP2 (Monster Hunter Portable 2) , the hunter is always running. (appears just like when R button is pressed)

We think it’s because the PSP is busy responding to the pressed R button.

Thus, the immediate solution I had was to take apart the psp and do so some inspection and cleaning.

It’s not difficult to open the cover at all, there are 4 screws inside the battery compartment, 2 on the back of the psp located the other side. and another one on the side opposite to the UMD door.

Open the front cover was easy too. Same as the plastic right trigger.
