Sony has dropped a brand-new feature on its PS3 console that will let you buy Premium themes—specialized themes that contain high-quality graphics, customized buttons, and (sometimes) special sounds. Since they cost real money, PS3 users will have an option to preview the images before deciding to drop the cash.

And I can’t say I miss it. So to those of you with...

In case you were still worried about the LHC bringing on the biblical apocalypse , you can calm down, because it turns out the Collider is going to be out of commission for a lot longer than previously thought. The “electrical transformer” problem wasn’t the cause of the shutdown at all, and the real problem means the LHC won’t be back up and running for at least two months.
