What a cheap excuse.. The ps3 browsers sucks ass and they backup their half-ass release of fb implementation by saying the functionality exists.. I would love to see a native app that lets you browse profiles/pictures etc. along with the current features rather than using the browser... Time to step up your **** or leave the game Sony!

noting that Sony's made improvements to the browser in the 3.10 firmware update he says enhance Facebook functionality.

It's always existed yeah, but it's been pretty broke until now.

If you have a web browser what's the point on spending money creating a dedicated app for something like Facebook? MS have to do that as they don't have a web browser in the first place. The only useful PS3 exclusive features are automatic posting of trophies/purchases to your feed, you can check pictures/browse profiles on nearly anything in your house/pocket nowadays as long as it has internet. Quite frankly the only thing I'll turn on is purchase updates so my friends know what I'm buying off the store. With an iPhone/PC/Laptop I really don't give a **** about checking peoples profiles on my PS3.

I think you'll find a web browser let's you do everything on Facebook, eg, all the Facebook features and visit links posted by your friends. Probably play Mafia wars and all that crap people do on Facebook as well. The 360 app can't visit links as it isn't a browser and I don't know about Applications/Games on Facebook.

From people saying Facebook is a waste of time on a console, to others saying Sony need to leave the generation due to Facebook :laugh:

Trust me.. I would probably spend very less time (if any) looking at profiles on the PS3 but if I wanted to browse it when friends are over or whatever (to fbstalk :p).. its a real convenient feature rather than opening up the awkward browser and trying to type using the dualshock.. I like the ps3.. they just need to get on par w/ the 360 functionality wise because it is more than a gaming console honestly.

I'm also in agreement that these features are completely useless. The Photo thing is nice, but nobody actually uses the PS3 for Photo Storage. I just use Media Link on my MacBook to send my iPhoto Library to my PS3 if I want to do something like that.

Facebook is USELESS, I mean, I'll use it but it's terrible.

As for the browser, DUDE, it can't even display the easiest of pages.

http://www.geeksandproud.com/ look at the HTML on that, any browser could handle that. But can the PS3? No! It renders it differently every damned time I use it! Sometimes the image isn't centred other times it is. Madness, the PS3 Browser is a selling point for the console, so they REALLY need to fix it.

Advertising your own website there? :rofl:

I think anyone trying to say they're going to seriously use Facebook on their PS3/360 is talking a load of gonads. Most of us have phones with Facebook apps or use our PCs. You might browse some photos now and then, but I bet hardly anyone unless bored ****less touches these additions a couple of weeks after the "hey OMG Facebook on my console!" wears off. Best usage you'll see out of Facebook on the PS3, and on the 360 when it supports it is automatic updates to your Feed with trophies/achievements, or store purchases or gaming related updates. Gaming related exclusive features you would obviously only see/get through the consoles Facebook support.

A console sits under your TV, it's not portable, therefore 9 times out of 10 it's in your house, or in a location with a PC. Out and about you're going to use your phone or laptop to visit social websites. Seeing as you can't multitask on either console, in other words be on Facebook whilst playing a game, you have to be sitting just using it on the console. I spend enough time just using it when I'm on the PC/Neowin, when I sit down at my consoles I tend to play games :p

If Sony would just spend some time really fleshing out their browser you wouldn't need applications for anything, all websites would work through it. One issue is Adobe won't ever allow any platform other than a PC (and I'm certain MAC/Linux aswell) to have the current Flash Player. For example the PS3 will be stuck with Flash 9 when Flash 10 is on the PC, only getting Flash 10 when Flash 11 hits the PC. That's not made up, if anyone is going to challenge me on that I'll find you the source...

Then all they need to do is get the browser working in-game and it would be much more useful, probably still more useful for having gamefaqs a button push away whilst playing a game as opposed to Facebook.

LastFM was the only thing I thought was worthwhile getting on the consoles.

Well, they'd have said it then if it was coming so I'm pretty certain that it isn't coming this year. Unless there's another update coming in December, then it's all over for this year.

They rarely announce features of firmware updates until a few days before because if they get delayed then everyone has a hissy fit.

And if people watch the video, you'll hear he says this is the beginning of Facebook integration. More/better integration to come!

Is this out yet, or...

I believe it is.. I'm at work and will have to wait until I get home to confirm but the PCWorld title says, "PS3 Firmware 3.10 Released, Adds Facebook Support"

I don't want to start playing COD:MW2 until this firmware is done. Stupid Sony for saying it's live when it isn't :/

Good point I heard it unlocks the 8th SPU in the CELL and gives you 120FPS MW2.

I heard you like mudkipz.

Norly, usually if you're online, PSN kicks you out when a new firmware comes online, which could suck if you're playing MW2 or something similar.

Would Firefox help?

      I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.
    • Winhance 26.06.12

      By Copernic · Posted

      Winhance 26.06.12 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior. Privacy-focused settings allow you to limit telemetry and data collection, while system customization options let you personalize the taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, and Windows themes. Winhance also supports installing or removing software efficiently, including external apps via WinGet integration, streamlining both new setups and daily maintenance. New AI privacy groups have been added for Windows AI, Microsoft Edge AI, and Microsoft Office AI, giving users clearer control over AI-related telemetry and feature usage. In addition, new settings in Gaming & Performance introduce AI taskbar pin toggles, options to remove AI apps, and controls for AI services and scheduled tasks, allowing users to better manage how AI components run in the background and appear in the system. For advanced users and IT professionals, Winhance integrates WIMUtil, a tool for creating custom Windows installation ISOs with automated configuration. You can generate autounattend.xml files, inject drivers, and apply your chosen Winhance settings automatically during installation. Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience. The Winhance.Installer.exe includes both Installable and Portable versions during setup. Winhance supports both Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit versions. It's regularly updated to ensure compatibility with the latest Windows updates and features. Winhance key features: Debloat Windows – Safely remove unwanted apps, features, and legacy components. Optimize Performance – Tune system settings for speed, responsiveness, and gaming. Privacy Enhancements – Control telemetry, data collection, and notifications. Power Management – Configure power plans and advanced energy settings. Windows Update Control – Adjust update behavior for stability and convenience. Theme Customization – Switch between light/dark mode and adjust system colors. Taskbar & Start Menu Tweaks – Modify layout, icons, and behavior. Explorer Customization – Adjust file explorer appearance and functionality. Software Management – Install/remove Windows apps and optional features. External Apps Installation – Deploy essential apps via WinGet integration. Configuration Management – Save, export, and import Winhance settings easily. Automation with WIMUtil – Create custom Windows ISOs with integrated settings. Autounattend.xml Generator – Automate Windows installations with preconfigured options. Driver Integration – Include current system drivers in custom ISOs. Non-Destructive Changes – Reversible settings with clear explanations in the GUI. Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode — build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.
