Clearing the PS3 Cache and Cookies

Alright so I know more and more games as well as companies are starting to create console apps for the consoles and sometimes there can be issues with this as those consoles weren't exactly made to browse the internet as their primary function. Thus the console if not kept up to date and up to current standards may not have the correct files and programs to run all sites. One thing that can cure alot of the problems with the console apps is directly clearing the cache and cookies on the console. Unfortunately you are only able to do this on the PS3.
Here are the instructions:

-In the Playstation Cross Media Bar Menu, select "Network"


-Scroll down and select "Internet Browser" and press X
 
-Press the triangle button
 
-Highlight "Tools" and press Right on the analog stick or directional pad.
 
-Scroll down and highlight "Delete Cookies"
 
-Press X and select Yes.

Successfully denying access to a program for Youtube

It seems more and more games are using Youtube as a method to try to show game play videos and allow players to earn fame by posting their videos to Youtube. Sometimes these sites and programs require special access to Youtube in order to properly post videos and manage them. I have often seen people receiving errors while trying to unlink their Youtube account from these sites/programs and vice versa. Many times users try to sever this link using the sites/programs but the change is never reflected on Youtubes site. So I have decided to provide you guys with a way to sever the access of the site from the Youtube side.

Here are those instructions:
1. Log into Youtube.com



2. Left click on your username in the upper right corner



3. Left click "Settings"




4. Left click "Manage Account" from the menu on the left




5. Left click on "here" ("here" is the actual link) in the "Authorized Sites" section




6. Left click [ Revoke Access] to the right of the bullet-point where “callofduty.com – YouTube” is
