The Windows 8 Release Preview may be the operating system that's getting all of the attention right now but there's another that deserves it's share of fame.

It's the weekend. When you're done watching the game, consider turning on Showtime to throw on an unwatched flick. Before you do though, make sure you update the homebrew to the latest build.

Unfortunately, there's always a bad bunch of people who just aim to release tools with the intent of bricking consoles. HwapX and Overx fall into this category with the recent release of their Venix GUI downgrader app.
