Posted by PRI's The World: Technology from BBC/PRI/WGBH
The World's Technology Podcast Thanksgiving Early Edition, or something. This week, two separate teams of scientists in America and Japan claim a major scientific breakthrough in stem cell science. We have the details. Also, a manual of standard operating procedures at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility is leaked online. And we end with an in-depth look at how the bio-tech industry is trying to combat a growing global health issue -- obesity.

Also, Kenya's dreams of going fiber-optic, and one South Korean beats out tens of thousands of others to become the country's first astronaut. Then, what's better than a roach? A robo-roach!

HOW TO LIGHT UP THE PS BUTTON ON YOUR PLAYSTATION 3 SIXAXIS CONTROLLER
Posted by I-Hacked.com Syndication
Have you ever wondered why the PS button lights up on pictures and ads of the
PlayStation 3 Sixaxis controller, but not on your own controller? The fact of
the matter is
that Sony's original intention was to illuminate the PS button. They had to
scrap the idea in the final design of the Sixaxis controller to save production
costs and keep the retail price low.
After I saw these pictures, I felt like putting a LED under my own PS button.
I decided that since I am doing the project, I might as well write instructions
on how to do it as well. I tried to include many pictures and make a very descriptive,
concise, step by step guide.
Please note that the controller is very hard to put back together but if you
have enough patience you can do it. Please read all the way through this tutorial
before attempting. If you feel at all like you cannot accomplish this modification
to your Sixaxis controller, DON'T. I am not responsible for any damage to your
Sixaxis controller, expressed or implied, simply because this is a DIY tutorial.
USE THIS TUTORIAL AT YOUR OWN RISK!
