Couple day ago I’ve downloaded some movie from internet which I’ve wanted to stream to my Playstation 3, but when I extracted the rar file i saw that the movie extension was .mkv. Since watching mkv on Playstation 3 is impossible, it’s not impossible to convert .mkv extension to avi or mpg. If you’re one of those people who are watching movies on your PS3 then you should definitely read this incredible article about How To Play MKV Files On Playstation 3.
Basically what you have to do is to download MKV2VOB, open the app and select which file you want to convert and where to save it.
Thanks Griffo for this great tutorial.
On September 25, Nik Cubrilovic posted a terrific analysis looking at how Facebook uses cookies to track users even when they have signed out of the service. His findings about Facebook cookies tracking raises yet more red flags about subscriber privacy.
Dave Winer wrote a timely piece yesterday morning about how Facebook is scaring him since the new API allows applications to post status items to your Facebook timeline without a user’s intervention. It is an extension of Facebook Instant and they call it frictionless sharing. The privacy concern here is that because you no longer have to explicitly opt-in to share an item, you may accidentally share a page or an event that you did not intend others to see.
The advice is to log out of Facebook. But logging out of Facebook only de-authorizes your browser from the web application, a number of cookies (including your account number) are still sent along to all requests to facebook.com.
Even if you are logged out, Facebook still knows and can track every page you visit.
If you would like to secure your Facebook account, Nik Cubrilovic explains how to improve privacy, disable features where your Facebook information can be shared with third-party sites and finally setting up your browser for private sharing.

A number of message boards around the net have been receiving comments from users upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 who have been unable to complete the upgrade install.
Once the installer hits 62% complete, it locks up. You can sit and wait as long as you want, but it’s not going anywhere.
The problem occurs when the Windows IPv6 helper service (which allows automatic IPv6 connectivity over a much more common IPv4 network) stops responding . Microsoft has posted a fix to this particular problem, and it’s not terribly complicated.
- Restart the computer – your system will automatically roll back to Windows Vista.
- Click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Properties.
- System Properties will open. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Environment Variables.
- Click the New button.
- Enter MIG_UPGRADE_IGNORE_PLUGINS into the Variable name field.
- Copy the following bold text: iphlpsvcmigplugin.dll and paste it into the Variable value field (or type it manually)
- Click OK three times to close the dialog boxes.
- Re-launch your Windows 7 Upgrade installer!
Please note that this fix won’t help if your install is stuck at some percentage other than 62. Strange but true. This is a specific fix for a very specific issue.
You may also want to run the System Readiness Tool for Vista and Windows 7 before trying the upgrade again. It can detect and correct certain issues that may cause trouble during the process.
