With its PlayStation 3 game console set to hit store shelves this December, Sony stopped production of the PSone, the miniaturized version of the original PlayStation console. The PSone first went on sale in September 2000, and PSone games are compatible with both the PS2 and the upcoming PS3.… Once-popular Internet portal Lycos launched an Internet phone service today, Lycos Phone. The new service offers free calls from PC to PC, just like rival Skype, although Lycos has the added perk of granting the user a U.S. phone number so the PC can accept incoming calls from any phone.
