			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I bought a PS3 just when it came out last year. It is a really nice console and one of the things that really interest me is using it to play my movies. The interface is very media oriented as it shows &#8216;video&#8217;, &#8216;pictures&#8217; and &#8216;music&#8217; prominently in the main menu. I don&#8217;t really care much for the pictures and music menus though. I have my pictures on Picasaweb and my music is in iTunes. Why would I copy all of those to the PS3? Unless a future firmware update will allow me to connect to iTunes or to online photo galleries I guess I would never really start using it. Anyway, being able to play my movies is very useful and cool for me!</p>

<p>One very interesting feature that was delivered in the latest firmware update for the PS3 is the ability to play DivX movies. Great! Now I don&#8217;t have to re-code all my movies to MP4 anymore, since that was the only format it would play up until now.  So now I can happily use the PS3 to what all my movies on my television. A media center should aways provide support for the most common formats per media type. I never understood why Sony only supported MP4 which is not very common yet. Nonetheless, even with DivX support there is still a lot of other stuff to improve in order to make the user experience really good. Here&#8217;s a couple of them. <a href="http://www.welie.com/thoughts/?p=6#more-6" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, another blog. This time I will it will be my own personal blog. But don&#8217;t worry, no stories about my dog, children or my super sport car. Not only because I don&#8217;t have any of them, but because this blog will only feature stories about matters relating to Interaction Design or simply the use of things.</p>
<p>Every month I&#8217;ll try to write an article about something that caught my attention and I will discuss the  interaction issues and provide my view on them. Perhaps I may occasionally provide ways to improve the interaction! We&#8217;ll see how it goes, for now I simply wish you happy readings.</p>
