A Nice Little Phone that will Surely Give the Chinese iPhone Some Rough Time.

 

 

 

 

 

Tired of Getting Shafted, Lefties ? Never Gets Old, does it ? At any Rate, Razer is Momentarily Stepping Away from its Ambidextrous Ways in Order to Craft a Mouse that Fits especially Well in the Hands of Righties. The New "Imperator" Gaming Mouse, Houses the Same 3.5G Laser Sensor that Has Become Common on the Outfit's Critters of Late but, this One includes a Smattering of "Adjustable Side Buttons" that Can actually Slide and Lock into Place Wherever you Find them Most Comfortable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unlike the Original SciPhone Handsets, the "N21" Isn't an iPhone Clone. It's Even Swapped the Old iPhone OS X Imitation UI with a Genuine Android OS. The "SciPhone N21" is a Chunky Cellphone. It Boasts a Complete Set of Advanced Phone Features, though, like Wi-Fi and a 5MP Camera and of Course, the 3-Inch Touchscreen (Stylus Input).

 

 

The 2 Demo Videos of the "SciPhone N21" below, Show just about Everything you Need to Know about the User Interface (e.g. Virtual Keypad, Automatic Screen Orientation), Features (Check Out the Maps) and Even the Battery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Besides its Green Credentials, just Look at it ! It's More Conventional-Looking than that Crazy BMW we Showed you Last Month ("BMW Lovos") but, it's Still a Concept Car, Meaning that, a Body Style this Radical probably Won't be Showing Up on Real-World Production Lines, Anytime Soon. It's Way Beyond the Illustration Stage, though — you're Looking at a Prototype that'll be Rolled Out Next Week at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you Look at the White One in the Gallery Photos Posted below, it actually Doesn't Look Half Bad. This is a Heck of a Sight Better than those Horrendous On-Screen Keyboards that you Navigate with a Remote Control. Think about it — How Many Button Presses Does it Take to Spell your Name ? About 50 ? It's Absurd.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beautiful. And it Hurts my Heart a Little, because, I too Have the Ubiquitous Beige Carpet in my Home, as Well as a Similar Monitor and a Desk Chair Not Unlike the One in this Picture. Unfortunately, my Desk is a Gigantic, Hulking Creation, that is Most Assuredly Not Fitted with a Custom Machine.

 

 

I Take Some Small Solace in the Fact that, the Glass Window Down into the Workings of the Beast, Might at Least Serve as a Distraction, as Petty as it May be. I Can't Help it; I'm Burning with Jealousy over here. It's All Built from the Ground Up: Desk and Computer, Custom Designed to Fit the Maker's Needs. Even the Reservoir was Designed Specifically to Fit this Desk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We've certainly Seen Plenty of Hackintoshes in our Life Time but, Will Urbina's, "OS XBox Pro", is also One of the Cleanest Case Mods we've Ever Seen. Built so that Will Can Run "Final Cut Pro" for his Job as a Video Editor, the Machine is Based on an EFI-X Hackintosh Dongle and Inside, it Sports an 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550s Paired with an nVIDIA GeForce 9800GT Card, 8GB of RAM, an 16GB SSD and 4 Traditional Hard Drives: One Each to Boot Windows 7 and OS X and 2 500GB 7,200 RPM Drives in a RAID0 Array for Video Editing.

 

 

 

Will Says his Total Parts Cost was Under $1,500 for a System that Matches a $4,500 Mac Pro but, that Obviously Doesn't Include the Value of his Time -- which, Judging by the Totally Captivating Build Video, Should be Plenty Expensive.

"The people in Tokyo are just so glad to work on it" , said D'Astous. "This is the first project for them that's a non-Final Fantasy title -- they even want to work on Thief 4 too."

 

 

The Japanese Publisher and Developer Purchased Eidos Earlier this Year, After the Tomb Raider Developer and Deus Ex Publisher, Struggled and Courted Buyout Bids. The Cyberpunk Prequel was Originally Scheduled for Release in Late 2009 -- a Date Clearly No Longer Happening -- with PC the Only Confirmed Platform. It's Unknown When Eidos' 1st Entry in the Hallowed Ion Storm-Created Shooter RPG Series, is Now Due to Arrive. Lead Designer, Jean-Francois Dugas, Simultaneously Raised Fan Hopes and Crushed their Dreams in 2008 by Saying, Deus Ex 3 May Not Hit Consoles Due to its Complexity -- Sequel Invisible War was Often Criticised as 'Consolised' -- while Commenting that, Ion Storm's Original was "kind of slow" and Had too Few "exciting, memorable moments".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All 3 Versions of the Game -- PC, PlayStation 3 and XBox 360 -- will be Released Simultaneously, with the European Release following on March 26, 2010. The Action Game Sequel, Packs an All New Island, along with the Ability to Grapple Things Together. Along with the Release Date, Square Enix, which Acquired the Game's Original Publisher Eidos Earlier this Year.

Capcom Has "no plans for PC at this point" for the Recently-Announced Resident Evil 5 Downloadable Content or DLC-Bundling, "Gold Edition", a Representative Has Told G4TV:

 

 

 

Scheduled for Release on March 9, the "Gold Edition" of Capcom's Action Horror, Includes a Prequel Mission, a New Episode and 2 Costume Packs -- All of which will Receive Seperate Releases as Downloadable Content. The XBox 360's "Gold Edition", Contains a Download Code for the New Content, while the PS3 Version Packs it, onto a Disc.

 

 

However, it Would Not be Uncharacteristic for Capcom to Release a PC Edition Later. Street Fighter 4 Arrived on PC 5 Months After its Console Release, as did Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 5 Wasn't Announced for PC until 2 Months After it Hit Consoles.

 

 

 

 

 

A New Patch is Now Available for Call of Duty: World at War, Updating TreyArch's World War 2 FPS to v1.7. The New Version Fixes a Multiplayer Server Crash Exploit, a Voice Chat Crash on Systems with No Default Recording Device and an Issue Causing Erroneous Duplicate QPort Errors, while Adding an Option for Server Admins to Disable Team Switching.

With the "Big Three" All Hyping New Online Services for their Home Consoles, No Longer is it All about the Games. But, Microsoft Believes Last Week's, XBox LIVE Update, Coinciding with 360 Hitting 10 Million Sales in Europe, Shows "no one can touch" the Company's Online Offering. Speaking Exclusively to GI in London Last Week, Microsoft EMEA Vice-President, Chris Lewis, Claimed his Firm's Autumn Update - Bringing Last.fm, Twitter, Facebook and Zune Marketplace to XBox 360 - Showed the Company's Ability to "reinvigorate the system... in a way that nobody else can".

 

 

"No one can touch us in terms of developing that service, completely reinventing that service in the way that we did last year with the New XBox Experience update last November", he Said. And Lewis Believes this Validates Microsoft's Often-Stated Strategic Focus on Software and Services in the current Hardware Generation, Adding: "That was not predicated upon a new piece of hardware. We're able to deliver that kind of innovation via our XBox 360 service without troubling the consumer in any way."

 

 

The Launch of the New XBox LIVE Services, which Followed the Addition of Sky TV Content on XB360, Comes as Sony Last Week Launched its PLAYSTATION Network, "Video Store" and Wii followed PS3 in Hosting a Bespoke Version of the BBC's Popular, iPlayer.

 

 

Lewis Said, Hitting 10 Million Sales on the Continent, Had Given XBox "critical mass" and "a large and broad footprint right across the region" :

 

 

"Our games undoubtedly look better and play better on XBox 360", he Insisted. "We're the only console growing year-over-year in 2009 and we offer now fabulous value in terms of what we're bringing to consumers. We think we're in a fantastic position in the seven to eight weeks through Christmas and beyond."
