During Sony’s press conference at the Tokyo Games Show, it was announced that it will finally release 3D Blu-ray support onto the PS3 from 21 September.
Record-breaking sales of $200 million has catapulted, once again, the Halo series as the biggest entertainment launch in 2010 for the US alone.
As mentioned before in a previous post “Halo: Reach, touchdown” Halo: Reach is the 4th instalment of the Halo series which is set prior to that of Halo: Combat Evolved, in the year 2552 where the player takes control of Noble 6, a member of an elite supersoldier squad during the battle for the world of Reach as the Covenant begin their assault on the planet.
Yesterday, Microsoft [MSFT] launched the Internet Explorer 9 beta download. The beta is compatible on machine running either Windows Vista or Windows 7.
The actual release date of IE9 is not for a few months, but for those who don’t mind a few bugs here and there you can grab a copy now to download. Just be aware that it is beta though, so don’t complain if it breaks.
Features included in the latest IE include HTML5 additions along with other new technology that aims to give the old browser a good speed boost. [Read more…]
The image you are looking at here is captured from the video below and shows an aggressive quadrocopter flying through a hoop that was thrown in the air.
We have seen the quadrocopter previously. Each time a new video is released, it seems far more advanced than the previous version.
The video can be found below and shows examples of how the device can move through hoops without any input from a human (other than throwing the hoop). [Read more…]
Yes thats right, the title is correct. Surely, come winter, you head down stairs to your computer or laptop when its nice and frosty outside. You don’t want to have to lug your bed covers with you and you don’t want to have to sit in front of a roaring fire with laptop in hand do you?
So what better way is there than to have with you a USB heated blanket? They come in 3 colours, pink, grey and navy blue.
With the blanket you get 2 USB cables. You can use one if its not sub-zero outside or both if the temperature decides to take a nosedive for that added heat and comfort. Its a novel and innovative idea to be able to sit on your couch with a laptop and be snug as a bug while being wrapped in this USB heated blanket.
Documents were recently leaked that reconfirm the existence of the HTC HD7. The HD7 was first spotted a few weeks back in another leaked document and is believed to be the new name for the HD3. The HD7 is believed to be called such because of Windows Phone 7.
The details seen below reveal several accessories for the HD7 along with a date of November 1. The date listed is expected to be the launch data of the accessories rather than the release date of the HD7 although both could in theory be the same. [Read more…]
Apple [AAPL] has released iOS 4.2 beta to developers. The first beta brings along with it the AirPrint wireless printing technology for developers to test out.
When the final iOS 4.2 is released in November, it will bring the AirPrint service to all iOS devices that can run iOS 4.2 which of course includes the iPad, the iPhone and iPod touch.
“AirPrint is Apple’s powerful new printing architecture that matches the simplicity of iOS—no set up, no configuration, no printer drivers and no software to download,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “iPad, iPhone and iPod touch users can simply tap to print their documents or photos wirelessly to an HP ePrint printer or to a printer shared on a Mac or PC.”
The standard everyday credit card may soon be a thing of the past. For starters, ‘smart’ cards look and feel like the credit cards you may already have in your wallet but with the addition of a micro processor embedded within the card itself. This allows information to be stored on the card in much the same way as a magnetic strip (which will usually run along the back of the card). The difference here is that more than one set of information can be stored on a card at the same time thus also giving the user the ability to switch between them depending on which account is to be used to pay for something whether it be a credit card account, debit or savings account.
Parallels recently released Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac. A new update to the Parallels Mobile for iPad and iPhone has now been released that lets users connect up to their Windows machines direct from the iPad or iPhone.
The video below shows a demonstration of how the new update works and exactly what can be done with it. Of course there’s a small bit of lag (large lag in some cases when on slow networks), but overall it looks to be quite impressive.
Unfortunately the previous versions of Parallels Mobile were more restricted and hence, only a two start rating is given for the app at the moment. Now that more control has been given to users, we expect to see the star rating rise. [Read more…]

There are various paid services also which we assume 1 in 20 subscribe to these pay services. [Read more…]
