I was going through the Popular Mechanics website when I came across this very interesting article… The article shows in 3 easy steps how to convert your current Playstation 3 into a Linux PC. The steps are that which follow:
Step 1.) Back Up - the first procedure is a no-brainer back up your data as you would before working on any PC.
Step 2.) Upgrade Your Drive - allows you to replace your 40 gb or 80 gb hard drive to a nice 250 GB hard drive.
Step 3.) Install Your New OS - note that the PS3 can’t run Microsoft Windows or Apple’s OS X so that is why you are converting it to a Linux system.

However, the steps do appear much more detailed on the site. The site also mentions that the conversion back to the original PS3 settings is a bit tricky. Get $500 towards a PS3!

There are 30 pieces of Intel in the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare single-player game. If you can find them it allows you to unlock new cheats for the single-player game after completing it once. They appear in the game world as laptops; to pick them up, you simply need to find the laptop and pick it up. Don’t worry if you miss a piece of intel, you can try to find it again if you just replay the level it’s on.

Here is a video that shows you the exact locations of the Intel in COD4.
