So last night after a long session of Fallout 3 on the PS3 I went to look at my Trophies and got a error message saying it could not sync them. No big deal I thought it has happened before that I could not get on PSN for a little while and was heading to bed anyway.
This afternoon a fellow co-worker and 360 Fanboy sent me a link to a engadget article. Seems that the PS3 fat is having some major issues. Sony released the following:
As you may be aware, some customers have been unable to connect to the PlayStation Network today. This problem affects the models other than the new slim PS3.
We believe we have identified that this problem is being caused by a bug in the clock functionality incorporated in the system.
Errors include:
* The date of the PS3 system may be re-set to Jan 1, 2000.
* When the user tries to sign in to the PlayStation Network, the following
message appears on the screen; “An error has occurred. You have been
signed out of PlayStation Network (8001050F)”.
* When the user tries to launch a game, the following error message appears
on the screen and the trophy data may disappear; “Failed to install
trophies. Please exit your game.”
* When the user tries to set the time and date of the system via the
Internet, the following message appears on the screen; “The current date
and time could not be obtained. (8001050F)”
* Users are not able to play back certain rental video downloaded from the
PlayStation Store before the expiration date.
We hope to resolve this problem within the next 24 hours. In the meantime, if you have a model other than the new slim PS3, we advise that you do not use your PS3 system, as doing so may result in errors in some functionality, such as recording obtained trophies, and not being able to restore certain data.
As mentioned above, please be advised that the new slim PS3 is not affected with this error. We are doing our best to resolve the issue and do apologize for any inconvenience caused.
For the latest status on this situation please continue to check either the PlayStation.Blog or PlayStation.com.
Lets hope they get this fixed up pretty quick and with out bricking any PS3’s.. I was really looking forward to getting some more Lego Indiana Jones 2 play in tonight.

Since yesterday I have been having a issue with my trusty old Treo 755p. It seems to think it is stuck in headphone mode so I can’t actually talk on the phone or hear anyone with out headphones plugged in. Looking around on the palm forums I came across a thread of lots of people with the same issue.
After trying all the ideas listed on the site…
I covered (really covered) the headphone jack in WD-40 and rammed it into the headphone jack a million times. Eventually it started working as normal again. So at first your don’t succeed ram it in there a few million more times!
