[ydl-gen] PS3+YDL USB keyboard "sticks"

[jmzorko at mac.com]

Justin et al,

My PS3 likes my Mac keyboard (the latest rev that started coming with  
the G5s) well, and i've never seen this problem.  My only complaint  
is that my floppy-eared best friend seems to also like my Mac  
keyboard, as evidenced by the cord getting chewed :-)
