Logitech Harmony® Adapter for PLAYSTATION® 3

So I had another unofficial (USB-version) of this adapter working. But it could not power on/off the PS3. This one does that. And also it does that using Bluetooth, so I got a USB-port back. Yey!

After reprogramming my remote to fit my customize keys, it seems to do everything I wanted. Now I only have two problematic device types left: Nintendo Wii and controlling two Apple TVs.


I got it on a "this item only"-sale for about half-price. It's expensive otherwise.

I use a Harmony 525, working with theese devices: Samsung 40M86BD, DVB-C box, AppleTV, PS3, Popcorn Hour A100, Ubuntu HTPC running XBMC/MythTV+Telldus Stick.

QuietComfort® 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headphones

Imagine flipping a switch in your brain that removes all sounds that are annoying. Hard to imagine what It would sound like? I'm amazed every time I turn them on. That's because many of the background noise that it is canceling are too hard to notice normally. But when you remove those sounds, you instantly feel a relaxation you didn't think was possible. I think it can be compared to the feeling of being teleported in to a totally quiet environment. You have to try these. In the store. In an airplane. On a train. Or at work.


I will update when I have tried them in our datacenter.
I'll bet they will make the otherwise extremely noisy room "Quiet" and "Comfortable".
