Apple appears in the famous CNN and "The New York Times" website embedded advertising, Their 17-inch MacBook Pro notebooks, which cost as much as 2800 was dubbed the world's most green notebook name .
RIM on the same day released a controversial advertisement, which was somewhat similar to the children step on Coca-Cola to buy Pepsi-Cola ad: a bullet went through the apple, one pulling the lens, the original is a BlackBerry, see video:
A MacBook exploded in a Market Company office, London this morning. There is no doubt that culprit is the Built-in battry.
Steven, the employee still in shock after the explosion, she describes the explosion, the computer smoke at first, when she stepped forward to pick it up for inspection, the battery exploded, flames as high as 6 feet, and later also took place repeated explosion.
Sony fanatics may be preoccupied with chatter about a slick new PSP 4000, but it's the PS3 that's snatching headlines today, with word growing that a price cut is imminent.
The chaps at gamesindustry.biz have picked up on chatter from analyst Mark Hickey, who says "recent channel checks" indicate Sony is planning to slash $100 off the price of the hub in the US. That could translate to a £50 drop here in the UK.
Sony is still struggling to match the staying power of the Xbox 360 and the constant dominance of the Wii at the top of the charts. A price cut could help shift units, but with the Big S losing cash on every hub already, surely it's a dangerous move for a company already in financial peril.
In case you're not familiar with it, MKV is a video-file format like Divx and MPEG-4. In fact, it's a format you're likely to encounter if you routinely download videos via BitTorrent.
You'd think that installing the right codec would enable MKV playback in Media Center, but, alas, it doesn't. Fortunately, there is way to enjoy your MKV videos from the comfort of your couch. Here's how. (Note: I tested this on a 32-bit Vista system. Your mileage may vary.)
Download and install the Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP), then reboot your system.
Start Notepad, then copy and paste the following lines:
Double-click the file to add the code to your Registry.
Reboot your system, then fire up Windows Media Center.
Presto: Your MKV files should appear in your video library (provided you've added the appropriate folder containing your files, of course), and they should play just fine.
Gameloft has released details on its upcoming Let’s Golf game for the iPhone and iPod touch, which appears set to become the most thoroughly developed golf title yet for the platform. Let’s Golf features cartoonish 3D graphics, four customizable 3D characters, and arcade-style game play with 63 different holes set across four different landscapes, including Fiji Beach, American Mountains, English Countryside, and Scotland Lochs. In addition, the game will offer two control schemes—one for more casual players that uses a simple gauge, and a more advanced mode that provides better accuracy. Notably, Let’s Golf will also include a multiplayer mode that allows two users to play over a local Wi-Fi or online connection. The title is expected to hit the App Store next week and will sell for $6.
Excited about the new PSP? Well too bad, we're going to talk about it anyway. The fairly popular Sony handheld device has undergone some helpful but rather basic upgrades since the original model made its debut, but sources claim that the upcoming PSP-4000 will undergo a large redesign. And no, the new edition will not carry a PSP 2 title, or so the sources claim.
According to gaming blog VG247, the PSP-4000 will see a "complete aesthetic overhaul" for the handheld, based on existing PSP tech. Details are still on the shy side, but what they do know is that the revamped PSP will include a sliding front screen, and is said to closely resemble the fan-made image shown here, which has been making its way around the Internet. The PSP-4000 had a rumored release date for sometime in 2009, and according to VG247's source, that schedule remains accurate.
Think the sliding front screen looks cool? What other features would you like to see on a new PSP model? Post your ideas and comments below.
When God of War arrived on the PS2 in 2005, it changed 3D action games forever and became one of the most highly acclaimed titles on the console. The gory action, brilliant presentation and sex mini-games made God of War and its sequels a must have on the PS2 and PSP. Naturally, we were all excited to see the first HD avatar come to life on the PS3. Well, the wait is over now and GOW 3 is a reality with the first batch of screenshots out. As expected, they look stunning. The game adds a lot more to the tried and tested GOW formula and does so at 1080p glory.
The first thing you should do is start streaming the video below, and witnesses the glorious visuals. This is running real-time on the PS3 and isn't a pre rendered trailer. The video showcases some major changes in the gameplay, which includes hooking onto enemies and wall running.
Let's get into the details:
True HD: The game looks really good, and I guess most of you will agree with me. Kratos on the PS2 was made up of approximately 4000 polygons, this time he is made up of 20,000. According to a Sony exec, you couldn't even load the new Kratos on the PS2, forget slicing and dicing enemies.
Scale: The game is huge in terms of scale. I am talking about more enemies on screen (15 in the last game, this time around about 50!). Not only do you fight against Cyclops's and Centaurs, but you also get to control them. You see when fighting against a horde of 50 enemies, Kratos can use a little help and what better than a one-eyed brute.
Titan Combat: In simple words, you can control humongous Titans and fight against other titans, enough said.
Smarter AI: The game will put you against 50 enemies at a time, which is kind of unfair. What's worse is that once a commander steps into the field, the usually dumb AI will act smarter and attack as per his command. This leads to a very exciting proposition, wherein your primary objective is to kill an enemy commander first, so as to dumb down the AI.
Weapon Switch: The game will boast of some really cool weapons and each will be as exciting and intense as the Blades of Chaos. The coolest aspect is the instant weapon switch, so you can start a blades combo and end it with Cestus (those shiny lion-head gloves).
New Moves: Kratos can now grab enemies and rush through a large horde, using the enemy unit as a battering ram. You can also hook onto enemies and pull yourself closer to deal damage.
The game looks really promising. It's still months away from release, but what I have seen till now is good enough to make me want it real bad. This is the epic finale and the last in the series, and its shaping up very good. Enjoy the video, savor the screens and keep watching this space for more info.
