Now Showing Fall Out: New Vegas - The Game 2

Fallout: New Vegas was a great game, but not without its faults or quirks, so a team of modders have decided to release a massive overhaul for the post apocalyptic role-playing game, called Project Nevada.

The great thing about playing the new Fallout games on the PC is that Bethesda offers a lot of tools to the community so that players can add new items, customize existing ones or create their own content for the role-playing games.

There are already a lot of mods for Fallout: New Vegas, but Project Nevada is looking to be the most robust.

While it is still a work in progress, the project aims at incorporating a lot of existing modifications already implemented in the game by the community of players, as well as add new types of mechanics that will make living in the Mojave Wasteland that much more interesting.

Project Nevada is set to add things like bullet-time, sprinting, tackling, cybernetic implants and even helmet mods to the regular Fallout: New Vegas experience.

The combat will be enhanced by the addition of things like bullet-time, which slows down time while shooting enemies, enhanced zoom functions on weapons like sniper rifles, as well as the ability to sprint and tackle enemies, in case you want your muscles to do the talking, and not your weapons.

More subtle changes were also added, like the heads up display, which changes if you're wearing a helmet, visor or other things that impair your visibility, or the dynamic crosshair system, which changes size in order to reflect weapon ammo spread.

The team of modders also implemented a Cybernetic Implant system, which will allow players to augment their abilities through a special interface that enables them to install upgrades.

The same team was also responsible for the Fallout 3 Wanderer's Edition, so you know that Project Nevada is going to turn out extremely impressive.

Until the work is done, check out the two videos below, the first showcasing all the new features, while the second focuses on the cybernetic implant system.

HP/Palm's webOS Tablet is Here

HP/Palm's webOS mobile operating system has been long rumored to be on its way to the market on a new series of devices, including tablet PCs, and some more info on these devices started to emerge into the wild.

The company is expected to bring to shelves at least two such devices in the near future, most probably being set to make an official announcement during a February 9th press event.

While other manufacturers chose to release either 7-inch tablet PCs, or 10-inch ones that would better compete with Apple's iPad, HP/Palm is said to planning on making steps on both roads at the same time.

Two tablet PCs from the company have just surfaced, one packing a 9-inch touchscreen display, supposedly called Topaz, while the other sporting a 7-inch screen, codenamed Opal.

When brought to the market, these devices might sport some features new to the tablet PC segment, and Engadget notes that they do not come with buttons, which means that there would be a gesture area that would change orientation along with the display.

The specifications list of these devices would also include 1.2GHz processors, front-facing cameras, micro USB ports, or a three speaker arrangement for stereo audio regardless the orientation.



Unveiled officially in February, these devices might not start shipping until later this year. They are expected to arrive at Palm HQ in June, it seems.

According to Engadget, there will be more than one flavor of the Opal, for example, including a WiFi-only flavor, one that supports AT&T's 3G network, and another one that would Verizon's LTE airwaves, all of which should be released in September this year.

An AT&T LTE version of the tablet PC is expected to be released in June next year. Opal is also said to come with an e-reading focus.

No specific info on the price tag these devices might sport emerged for the time being, nor on the rest of the specifications they would feature. Hopefully, more would be unveiled in early February, and we won't have to wait until September to see them put on shelves.

Nokia X7 Photos And Features

Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia was rumored a while ago to be on its way to bring to the United States market a new device that would be released on the airwaves of AT&T, namely the Nokia X7, and some more info on that device emerged.

The handset was spotted into the wild before, and rumors pointed at a possible availability of the Nokia X7 on AT&T's airwaves in the United States.

While no specific info on when exactly would the handset land on shelves in the United States emerged before, new details on the matter pinned the availability of Nokia X7 at AT&T for this month.

This mobile phone is supposedly running under the Symbian^3 operating system, and was seen previously into the wild both in a series of photos, as well as in a video that emerged with it sometime in November.

New photos with the Nokia X7 are available now for your viewing pleasure, showing the mobile phone from all angles.

The handset would join the Nokia Symbian^3 lineup next to high-end devices like Nokia N8 and Nokia E7, and the outer looks it sports resemble the already official smartphones.


As for the hardware specs it should hit the market with, details are scarce, even if one can clearly see am eight-megapixel photo snapper on its back (most probably with features like HD video recording and more attached to it as well), as well as the
four speakers that were place at each of its corners.

According to Pocketnow, we might also be looking at a ClearBlack display with nHD resolution on Nokia X7, the same as with other new mobile phones from the leading handset vendor.

Although the rest of the specifications on this handset are missing at the moment, it might not be too long before they all become official. In the meantime, take a look at the new photos available with the device.

Nokia 5250- Full Review

Since Nokia 5800 XpressMusic was launched on the market back in November 2008, Symbian S60 5th Edition was the main mobile platform the Finnish manufacturer has focused on. Recently, however, Nokia has shifted its priorities to the latest Symbian^3 and MeeGo operating system, in a desperate attempt to recover the ground lost to the Android and iOS platforms.

However, Nokia 5250 can hardly be considered a smartphone, even though its spec sheet mentions that it runs the Symbian S60 5th Edition operating system.

There's almost no feature that could point to the fact the Nokia 5250 is a smartphone, as the device has been thoroughly stripped of everything that could have increased its low price.

Still, there's a target for every phone out there and Nokia 5250 is no exception. People who get confused by too many features or simply do not use smartphone capabilities because they don't need them, might find this handset suitable.

Announced in August 2010, Nokia 5250 was launched on the market in September 2010 and can be bought for about 170 US dollars without a subscription. Potential customers can choose from five available color schemes: Dark Grey, Blue, Red, Purple or White.

Design


At first glance, Nokia 5250 strongly resembles a large chocolate bar or a small brick, especially when seen from afar. Even though Nokia's choice for cheap plastic might seem disappointing, the handset doesn't look that way at all.

Obviously, it is more prone to scratches and even the smallest drop can cause heavy damages to the plastic case. The only things I have to disagree with when it comes to the phone's design are the excessive thickness, as well as the large bezel surrounding the touch screen.

However, the phone fits perfectly in a common sized pocket. Nokia 5250 measures 105 x 50 x 14 mm and weighs 106g (battery included), which is almost exactly the same as its Nokia 5530 XpressMusic predecessor. The handset doesn't have anything that could make it stand out and features a minimalistic look.

Regardless of the color scheme chosen, the handset will always feature a black front case and only the back cover and the sides of the phone will have a different color. The left side of the phone has been left bare, with only a small gap at the middle that will help users pull out the battery cover. The right side of the phone features a dual volume key, the lock/unlock sliding key, as well as the dedicated camera button. On the top side there's a 3.5mm audio jack, a 2.5mm charging port, as well as the microUSB which is covered by a plastic stripe.

The 2.8-inch display is surrounded by a pretty large black colored bezel, which makes it look smaller than it really is. At the base of the touch screen there's a set of three physical keys: Accept calls, Menu key and Reject calls. Above the display, a little bit to the right there's the usual Media touch key, which opens a quick media menu. There's also the earpiece and a proximity sensor above the screen, but the phone lacks an ambient light sensor.


The 2-megapixel camera on the back of the phone lacks a LED flash and autofocus. Two loudspeakers have been embedded at the base of the battery cover, while a stylus can be found to the left corner of the phone.

Users will be able to insert a microSD card or the SIM card only removing the battery cover, as both slots have been placed on the right side of the phone. Fortunately, this doesn't require the removal of the battery itself.

Overall, Nokia 5250 features a standard bar look with a solid and compact build that makes it more appealing than other low-tier handsets.


Display and Camera



Nokia 5250 features a 2.8-inch TFT resistive touchscreen that supports 16 million colors and a 360 x 640 pixels resolution, which can also be controlled with the stylus included in the sales package. Even though we're talking about a resistive touchscreen here, I have nothing negative to say about it, as Nokia tried to get the best it could from this technology.


However, the bad thing is that this is a resistive touch screen after all and you'll have a hard time typing fast unless the stylus is used. Furthermore, the rather small size of the screen doesn't help either. Still, you will get a very nice and crisp image on the display with good contrast and brightness.

Unfortunately, things change radically when the screen is exposed to sunlight, which makes it almost unusable. The viewing angles could also be wider. Fortunately, you're blessed with the accelerometer function, which works smoothly.

The 2-megapixel camera lacks autofocus, LED flash or any other advanced capability. Still, I was a little surprised to find that the camera's interface includes a wide range of settings such as: White balance, ISO, Contrast, Color tone, Exposure, Sharpness and more. This could be confusing for the common user, especially since these additional settings don't increase the pictures’ quality at all.

The camera captures pictures with a maximum resolution of 1600x1200 pixels, while video clips can be recorded in VGA@30fps. Symbian touch screen smartphone owners will probably recognize the camera's interface immediately. After all, it hasn't changed much since 2008 when the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic was launched.

Menu and Software


Nokia 5250 runs the Symbian S60 5th Edition operating system, but since Nokia decided to change the name of its various versions of Symbian, let's say that the device runs Symbian^1.

The good news is that this might be the most straightforward user interface ever embedded onto a Symbian smartphone. The bad news is that Nokia didn’t remove just hardware features to keep the price of the device as low as possible. They have also stripped the phone from a ton of software features, which I'm not sure would have affected the price in any way.

Thankfully, the smartphone retains some of the Symbian^1 features that were introduced gradually through numerous updates.

The phone features a single homescreen that can be customized to display four Shortcuts. Widgets have been removed, so we won't be able to add any to the homescreen. Kinetic scrolling is also present and works just about anywhere inside the phone's menu: web browser, main menu, gallery, contacts.

“Clicking” on the clock near the signal icon, on the upper left corner of the homescreen, will give you quick access to the clock and alarms. Connectivity settings can be quickly accessed by clicking on the battery icon, while Profiles can be selected from the icon displayed right under the operator’s name.

To bring up the Main menu key, click the middle key under the screen; choose Options/Organise, to rearrange the menu as you see fit. Because of the low number of icons, the main menu has been organized on two rows, unlike more advanced Symbian smartphones which feature a 3-row main menu.

Under the Application menu, one can find a handful of apps, which are not categorized in any way: clock, notes, camera, Games, Office along with RealPlayer, Video center and Ovi Sync.

Other applications that come pre-loaded with Nokia 5250 include: calendar, calculator, converter, file manager, Amazon, Facebook, Friendster, Hi5, and MySpace. Under the Music sub-menu you'll find a few media-dedicated apps, such as: music player, Stereo FM Radio with RDS support, Podcasts, Ovi Music and Shazam.

A single game has been bundled with the smartphone, Guitar Hero 5, but more can be installed.

The device supports two input methods: stylus and finger touch support for text input and UI control, but the best, by far, is the stylus.

The interface is snappy when you're not running more than one application in the background, otherwise you'll experience sudden lags when opening other apps or browsing through the menus. I have also noticed that using a close to full memory card (regardless of its size) slows down the phone.

Communication

Nokia 5250 is a quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900) handset that features GPRS and EDGE class 32 as the only options for data transfer connections. Nothing else has been added, like Wi-Fi or a built-in GPS receiver.

Other connectivity tools include Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP and EDR support, and microUSB for PC synchronization (no charging).

In terms of messaging, the phone offers a complete solution, accepting all available message types. I strongly recommend using the stylus when typing, for a smoother experience. The messaging client works with the POP3, SMTP, and IMAP4 protocols, and supports more than one email account. Furthermore, it can download headers or full email, and supports attachments.

The quad-band smartphone has a good GSM signal reception. Sound during phone calls is also above average.


Processor and Memory



The bar smartphone is powered by the same ARM11 family processor running at speeds of up to 434 Mhz that has been embedded in Nokia 5530 XpressMusic model. The device works pretty smoothly, but I have noticed some lag when using other applications while the browser is open or when the memory card storage space is close to full.

The smartphone also features 76MB internal memory, with only 51MB available to users. Storage space can be expanded up to 16GB, thanks to the hot-swappable card slot.


Multimedia


The smartphone features the same standard-looking music player as Nokia 5530 and Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. There are five pre-installed equalizer modes: Bass booster, Classical, Jazz, Pop and Rock. Other settings are: Balance, Loudness and Stereo widening.

The device features Radio FM with RDS function as well, but lacks the FM transmitter for broadcasting your own music. Reception is very good, and sound quality is above average. Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support enables users to listen to the music wirelessly.

The 3.5mm jack port is a good addition, as it enables users to change the earphones that are coming with the phone (WH-102). The included video player lacks DivX and XviD codecs, so you'll need to find yourself a third-party application to play these movie files.

Battery

According to the manufacturer, The 1,000 mAh Li-Ion (BL-4U) battery has an impressive life expectancy of 450 hours for standby mode and 7 hours and 40 minutes for talk time mode. Nokia also claims a play back autonomy of almost 24 hours.

For what it's worth, Nokia 5250's long battery autonomy is something that won't fail. To no surprise though, as the device lacks any advanced features that might drain the battery faster than it should. Overall, I would say the phone has an excellent battery, which is exactly what the manufacturer wanted.

Impressions

Nokia 5250 is definitely the less featured Symbian smartphone ever built by the Finnish manufacturer. Even though Nokia stripped the phone from all the “expensive” features specific to Symbian smartphones so it can fit the device into the low-end category, it made the 5250 almost unusable for other than calls and a little bit of web browsing, if you're not annoyed by the slow data transfer speeds offered by the EDGE connectivity.


The Good

In addition to its low price, the smartphone features good audio quality and loudspeaker performance, as well as an excellent web browser, which is only dragged down by the slow EDGE connectivity. The high battery life is also something worth mentioning among the positive things, as well as the microSD card slot.


The Bad

Dubbed as a Symbian^1 smartphone, Nokia 5250 is inferior to many feature-phones in terms of performance and capabilities. There's no document viewer, no YouTube client, no Wi-Fi connectivity, no 3G or GPS. The 2-megapixel camera is also not something that should be included in a 2010 smartphone anymore. The sales package is also very poor for a smartphone, as you don't get an USB cable or a memory card bundled.

New Free App from AT&T For iPhone.

For as long as U.S. residents will continue to use their iPhones on AT&T’s buggy network, now that Verizon has entered the scene, the operator has prepared a Connect Audio Conference Monitor app which allows users to join and monitor an AT&T Connect Audio Conference using their iPhone.

According to the U.S. provider of telephony services originally chosen by Apple to carry its iPhone in 2007, AT&T Connect Audio Conference Monitor permits hosts and participants to attend an audio conference from virtually anywhere in the world.

“AT&T Connect Audio Conference Monitor makes mobile access to conferencing easy with the Call Me feature,” the operator explains.

The application provides updates on who else is on the conference and which participant is talking, as soon as the users hits “join”, AT&T informs.

The company elaborates: “When you receive an email or calendar invitation to a meeting that contains an Audio Conference Monitor URL, just click on the ‘Click here to join Conference Monitor’ link.”

At this point, the app will launch to join the Audio Conference while the user can select if he / she is a ‘Guest, or a ‘Host’ of the conference.

“You can join by dialing in or via ‘Call Me’ where the conference bridge can dial you (if your company has this option enabled),” AT&T’s how-to continues.

“With this single click, AT&T Connect automatically prompts you into an audio conference,” the iPhone carrier concludes.

The key features of AT&T Connect Audio Conference Monitor are listed as follows:

Features
• Call Me and Dial In features that simplify audio setup
• Automatic prompts guide you into an Event
• Invite others by email
• As a meeting host/presenter, you can invite others by phone, mute/un-mute other users, rename a user, expel a user, set entry/exit tones, record the audio conference, lock the conference or end the conference
• Interactive participants list: See/hear the other participants in the conference.
• Mute or unmute

AT&T Connect Audio Conference Monitor calls for any iPhone running iOS 3.0 and higher, and an active 3G cellular network or WiFi connection.

The AT&T Connect Audio Conference Monitor Mobile application does not function in airplane mode.

Enjoy Firefox 4 in the Final Stage with All New Amazing Features.

It's been a long road, but Firefox 4 is now very close to completion. Firefox 4 Beta 9 has been released, one of the last stages before the final build is launched. While most new betas come with plenty of improvements, many features are now coming together in Firefox 4 Beta 9.

With only one more beta and then the release candidate planned, Firefox 4 is fairly close to its final form. But after several months of betas and even more earlier development, it's easy to forget all of the new features and improvements coming in Firefox 4.

Mozilla's director of Firefox, Christopher Blizzard, has created a complete run-down of new features in Firefox 4, from a developer's perspective, and, as you can expect, it's quite a long list.

From the brand new JavaScript engine to hardware acceleration, speed was a huge focus in Firefox 4. It's the fastest Firefox release yet, by a big margin, and promises not only better JavaScript performance but also a snappier UI.

"[JaegerMonkey] is the world’s first third-generation JavaScript engine, using Baseline JIT technology similar to engines found in other browsers and kicked up a level with the Tracing engine found in Firefox 3.6," Blizzard explains.

The new JavaScript engine should make Firefox 4 competitive, though the competition hasn't exactly stood back and watched during Firefox 4's development.

Another very competitive area is hardware acceleration. Browser makers are racing to offset as much of the load to the GPU and be the first to offer a complete solution.

As it stands though, hardware acceleration is not what you might call complete in any stable browser available now.

"Firefox 4 supports full hardware acceleration on Windows 7 and Windows Vista via a combination of D2D, DX9 and DX10. This allows us to accelerate everything from Canvas drawing to video rendering," Mozilla explained.

"Windows XP users will also enjoy hardware acceleration for many operations because we’re using our new Layers infrastructure along with DX9. And, of course, OSX users have excellent OpenGL support, so we’ve got that covered as well," it added.

One interesting feature that has landed in Firefox 4 Beta 9 is support for Compartments, as Mozilla calls them, a method of separating the memory used by websites and various Firefox elements, for better performance and security.

Another major new technology in Firefox 4 is WebGL which is very close to being standardized. WebGL enables web developers to access the GPUs 3D rendering capabilities using standard technologies.

You can check out Blizzard's blog post for a comprehensive look at the technical aspects of Firefox 4, including support for HTML5, the newly introduced IndexedDB and many others.

First Patches For Windows 7

Early adopters running the latest release of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 will also need to deploy the first patches offered for Windows in 2011.

Specifically, testers will have to make sure that Microsoft Security Bulletin MS11-002 is installed as it is designed to patch a Critical vulnerability which also affects the Release Candidate (RC) of Windows 7 SP1.

Bulletin MS11-002 is set up to resolve two privately reported security holes in Microsoft Data Access Components. According to Microsoft, customers running the pre-release version of Windows 7 SP1 are also impacted by the patches.

Of course, it’s not uncommon for the software giant to release security updates for software that is still in development, especially if the patches are designed to resolve Critical issues.

“Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Beta and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 Beta are affected by the vulnerabilities described in this bulletin. Customers running these beta releases are encouraged to download and apply the update to their systems.

“Security updates are available from Microsoft Update and Windows Update. The security update is also available for download from the Microsoft Download Center,” the Redmond company.

ADO Record Memory Vulnerability - CVE-2011-0027 is the most severe out of the two security problems resolved by MS11-002.

The software giant confirmed that this is a remote code execution vulnerability, associated with Microsoft Data Access Components validation of memory allocation.

“This vulnerability could allow code execution if a user visited a specially crafted Web page. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.

“An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights,” Microsoft explained.

Windows 7 SP1 RC was released at the end of October 2010 and continues to be available for download to testers. The RTM version of the first upgrade to Windows 7 is expected by the end of March 2011.

Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Release Candidate (RC) Build 7601.17105.100929-1730 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Release Candidate (RC) Build 7601.17105.100929-1730 are available for download here.

IPv6 - A New Goal For Facebook and Google

The dwindling number of IPv4 addresses and the very slow adoption of the newer IPv6 has been a problem for years, but things are only now starting to move in the right direction, even as addresses are expected to run out sometime this year. Google, Facebook and Yahoo, which now account for a big percentage of internet traffic are working together to promote World IPv6 Day.

It's more than just a marketing thing, all of them will be enabling IPv6 infrastructure on that day, which may lead to problems for a small minority of users.

Google and YouTube offer IPv6 versions

Google has been working on getting ready for IPv6 for several years now. The main search engine is accessible through a IPv6 address from ipv6.google.com. When YouTube introduced IPv6 support, traffic over the new protocol surged.

Google is also offering its services by default over IPv6 for ISPs that have made the switch, by using a whitelist of providers with native IPv6 connectivity.

When it comes to major websites, Google has been leading the switch to the new protocol, but that's understandable since the co-creator of the TCP/IP stack, Vint Cerf one of the people that have made the biggest contributions to the internet as we know it, has been working for the company since 2005 and spearheading efforts to get the infrastructure ready for the switch.

"In the short history of the Internet, the transition to IPv6 is one of the most important steps we will take together to protect the Internet as we know it. It's as if the Internet was originally designed with a limited number of telephone numbers, and we're soon going to run out," he explained.

Google has been keeping track of the IPv6 traffic reaching its servers and, while it has seen an accelerated growth in the past year, it's still a tiny fraction, 0.2 percent, of the traffic Google gets in a regular day.



Facebook's IPv6 address is 2620:0:1cfe:face:b00c::3

But Google is not alone in this, Facebook, undeniably one of the most popular and visited websites on the planet, has been offering a IPv6 version since summer through www.v6.facebook.com.

Interestingly, the IPv6 address of Facebook is 2620:0:1cfe:face:b00c::3, the site is actually very proud of that.

"As a next generation protocol, IPv6 provides a vast number of addresses by today's standards — 4 billion times the number that are available under IPv4. Telecom carriers, ISPs, OS makers, hardware manufacturers, Web companies, and governments around the world are depending on IPv6 to continue growth of the Internet," Facebook's Donn Lee explained.

The All new Yahoo Mail is Here- With New Themes amd Advanced Attachment Function

One of the most used Mail service across the world is going under major upgradation.
The new Yahoo is now under beta stage and giving the whole new experiance with new vibrant colour themes.

"To those of you who have been using our Yahoo! Mail Beta product: thank you. Your feedback on the Suggestions Board and on this blog has kept us busy fixing, building, and improving the experience," Yahoo said in a blog post.

"Thanks to your participation, we are launching a new batch of features that will go live this week for Yahoo! Mail Beta users around the world," it announced.

One of the 'features' that many people missed is the possibility to customize the look of Yahoo Mail. If the standard issue Yahoo purple is not your thing, you can go for a more serious blue or green or go all out with the hot pink theme.

"We heard you loud and clear: you miss our colorful, fun themes! Our team buckled down in December to build and release a gallery of themes for you to choose from. Go to the Help drop-down menu at the top left of the page, select Themes and check out our gallery," Yahoo added.

Those that need more than just plain email will welcome the addition of Calendar and Notepad links in the Applications section, in the lower left corner. Yahoo says that both Calendar and Notepad will eventually be updated with the look and feel of the new Yahoo Mail.

Also new in Yahoo Mail Beta is the possibility to attach multiple files in one go. Select all of the files you want in the file browser and Yahoo Mail Beta will upload them all.

For those using Yahoo Mail to keep in touch with what their friends are up to, there is now a dedicated Updates tab which makes it easy to focus on Twitter and Facebook updates and all the friend activity tracked by Yahoo Updates.

First Mac App Store Cracks Emerge

As Apple launched its highly-anticipated Mac App Store yesterday, some found that replacing the receipt and signature files in some paid apps with the receipt from a free one allows the app to run in full mode.

This apparently works only for some apps, while the paid application actually needs to be downloaded from a third-party site.

However, once the app is cracked, Apple’s Mac App Store will foolishly serve any subsequent updates for free, provided that the developer had released the update as a free one.

John Gruber of Daring Fireball is vocal on the matter. In a recent blog post, he begins by quickly enumerating the steps needed to crack an application:

“Copy the App Store receipt from any legit Mac App Store download — including from any free app — and paste it into a bootleg download of Angry Birds, and it’ll run.”

He claims the vulnerability exists only in apps that don't follow Apple's app validation advice.

“This isn’t true for all paid Mac App Store apps. For apps that follow Apple’s advice on validating App Store receipts, this simple technique will not work.”

Some applications are known to check only for a valid receipt. Others check whether the receipt matches the app's bundle ID, this kind of system being more difficult to crack.

The Apple pundit firmly upholds that Cupertino “should test for this in the review process, and reject paid apps that are susceptible to this simple technique.”

Apple’s Mac App Store is available for all Mac users running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

The service requires the user to download Mac OS X 10.6.6, the latest incremental update to the Snow Leopard operating system.

The update contains the Mac App Store, as well as a few system improvements.

ViewFun 3D Camcorders From ViewSonic

Given its increasingly important presence on the CE segment, we were actually expecting ViewSonic to bring forth some new and exciting products at CES 2011, and sure enough, that's exactly what the company did, as they've unveiled the ViewFun 3D line of products, that also includes a couple of 3D camcorders.

While we won't tackle the entire ViewFun 3D lineup, that also includes a 3D glasses-free digital photo frame and a 3D digital camcorder, we will talk about the 3D camcorders included in this series, that might prove to be some serious competitors for the better-known brands out there.

So, first of all, we'll go to the ViewFun 3D Palm Full HD Camcorder, the flagship product in the ViewFun series that delivers Full HD 1080p 3D and 2D recording capabilities at 60 fps, as well as dual LED lights for video, a night shot auto off mode, a built-in stereo microphone and speaker.

The device comes equipped with a glasses-free 3.2-inch 3D LCD panel, accompanied by white balance correction settings (auto, sunny, cloudy, fluorescent and Tungsten) and HDMI port, rechargeable Li-ion battery and flexible SD/SDHC storage slot options.





Next in line come the ViewFun 3D Pocket and PocketHD camcorders, that allow users to record 3D or 2D HD videos in Full HD 1080p on the ViewFun 3D PocketHD and HD 720p on the ViewFun 3D Pocket.

Similar to the ViewFun 3D Palm Full HD Camcorder, the pocket versions enable live 3D playback on the 2.4" LCD panel without glasses, using parallax barrier technology, and also include mini HDMI port and an USB rechargeable Li-ion battery and flexible SD/MMC storage slot options.

Plus, the dual 5-megapixel fixed focus cameras can also be used for capturing 3D still images.

The ViewFun 3D Palm Full HD Camcorder should arrive in stores in Q2 2011 for an ESP of $249.99, while the ViewFun 3D PocketHD is expected to hit the shelves in roughly the same time frame, at a price of around 200 US dollars.

However, the ViewFun 3D Pocket camcorder is already available on the market, for an ESP of $179.99.

ASTEROID Car Receiver Powered By Android Unveiled

Without a doubt, CES 2011 is gearing up to be full of pleasant surprise, the latest we've managed to come across being the Parrot ASTEROID, a car multimedia receiver that works on the Android operating system.

First and foremost, we'll have to point out that this 1-DIN device comes equipped with a detachable faceplate (in order to deter theft) on the left side, while its right side is occupied by a 3.2-inch TFT color display, that provides quick and easy access to a host of information, including phonebook, menus, music, playlist, album covers, internet applications and services.

Moreover, the left part of the receiver also houses the control buttons for the phone functionality (we'll detail this a bit later), plus a large rotary button for menu navigation.

The car receiver lets users play music from a variety of sources, including here USB flash drives, SD cards, MP3 players, the iPhone or iPod, and even web radios, when becoming 3G-capable with the addition of an appropriate dongle (and since we're on this topic, it's also important to point out that the receiver can also become a navigation device, by inserting into it the GPS dongle included in the sales package).

Naturally, since this thing includes a Bluetooth module, music files can also be sent to the car receiver from a mobile phone and via Bluetooth stereo A2DP.

Parrot ASTEROID also doubles as an advanced Bluetooth speakerphone, supporting the simultaneous pairing with up to two mobile phones and also offering users access a multi-user voice recognition feature.

Unfortunately, Parrot has not yet provided any pricing details for their Android-running ASTEROID Car Audio receiver, but they did reveal the fact that it should hit the shelves in the 1st Quarter of 2011 in France, Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, Germany, Benelux, while US customers will have to wait until Q2 in order to get their hands on it.

PlayStation Phone Full Details Leaked With Photos

Seeing as how Sony didn't reveal any details about a possible PlayStation Phone at the CES conference this week, a Chinese website got its hands on a prototype of the device and shared all of the juicy details, from its phone hardware to its gaming attributes.

Chinese website IT168 managed to score a version of the PlayStation Phone, which may not be the final one, mind you, but it's still the best look we had at the new device that is going to be manufactured by Sony's joint phone venture with Ericsson.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, as it might be named, has some pretty impressive hardware for a phone, including a 1GHz Snapdragon QSD8255 processor, a Qualcomm Adreno 205 GPU, 512MB RAM and 512MB ROM, as well as slots for a SIM card, obviously, a microSD memory card and a micro USB cable.

The PlayStation Phone will use this hardware to display images on a 4-inch screen, with an 854x480 resolution, as well as take pictures with a 5 megapixel camera.



When powered on, the device looks just like any other Sony Ericsson phone from the Xperia lineup, and runs the Android 2.3 operating system.

There's one special feature, however, an application called PlayStation Pocket, which, when you boot it up, puts the phone into "PlayStation" mode.



The menu interface changes to Sony's familiar XMB setup, and you can browse some of the games installed on the device.

The device pictured above and below isn't confirmed to be the production-ready PlayStation Phone, so a few things might change, but it's currently the best look we have at Sony's new product.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play hasn't been officially confirmed by Sony, but according to previous reports, expect it to appear around Spring or Summer of this year.

Introducing World's Slimmest Windows 7 Tablet

As you might have found out earlier this week, Viliv brought two new Android Internet tablets at CES 2011, the X7 and X10, but that wasn't all the company had in store, as they've also taken the wraps off their X70 Windows 7 Slate, touted as being the world's slimmest-ever Windows 7-based tablet.

As Slashgear informs
us, the X70 Slate is, in fact, the second version of viliv’s existing model, the X70EX, but comes equipped with an upgraded hardware configuration, including a next-gen Intel mobile CPU (we're guessing that they're referring to the Oak Trail platform, since the current-gen tablet is also Atom-based).

As mentioned right from the start, this thing is truly super-slim, as it's only 14.3mm thick and weighs around 420 grams.

The portable system offers a choice of 1GB of 2GB of RAM memory, a 7-inch 1024 x 600 Clear Type LCD display with 16-million colors, while storage is provided by a 32 or 64GB SSD unit, reaching read/write speeds of up to 100/70 Mbps.

Other features worth mentioning include the two camera modules (rear 3MP/Front 1.3MP), the 5600 mA/h, 21W battery offering 6.5 hours of non-stop functioning, as well as the multiple networking and connectivity options, including 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth, 3G HSPA or WIMAX or EVDO, HDMI , Micro USB and Micro SD/SDHC supporting 32GB cards, plus the built-in stand-alone GPS module.



“We face new information technology everyday and viliv tablets can be a solution provider to make our life easy and simple. This fast-changing environment creates demand and we are able to meet customer’s expectation with our decades-old experience in mobile technology.” said Dr. Seung-Jin Yoo, COO/Executive Vice President, viliv by Yukyung Technologies.

“Thanks to our understanding of mobile environments, viliv is able to see the opportunities in the field and its tablets take a unique position in the market. IT environments have been changing so fast and people’s expectations are higher than ever. viliv’s brand-new tablets can satisfy all these high expectations,” added the company's rep.

Unfortunately, Viliv has provided absolutely no info on the pricing and/or availability of the Viliv X70 Windows 7 Slate, so your guess is as good as ours regarding the specific time frame when this thing will officially make its way onto the market.

Mariah Carey Shows Off Growing Baby Bump

She’s kept away from the media for most of the time since announcing her pregnancy, but when she does step out in public, Mariah Carey does it in style. The diva went to see her doctor the other day – offering a glimpse of her growing baby bump to the paparazzi.

As RapUp can confirm, the singer was out and about in LA the other day, paying a visit to her doctor to check on the twins that are expected to be born sometime this spring.

Dressed all in black, and in casual clothes no less, Mariah offered a good look at the bump she once tried so hard to hide from view, thanks to a top that went sheer because of the camera flashes.

For once, she didn’t seem to mind the intrusion: she was laughing coyly as she tried to shelter her face somewhat from the paparazzi cameras.

“Mariah Carey is a show-off. The mom-to-be paid a visit to her doctor yesterday in Los Angeles, dressed in a sheer top that revealed her growing baby bump,” RapUp says.

“Mimi kept it casual in a black zip-up jacket and flowing stretch pants, taking advice from her hubby Nick Cannon to wear flats instead of her standard heels. The couple is expecting twins early this year,” says the same e-zine.

Indeed, as RapUp also notes, perhaps the most surprising bit about the outing was not the fact that Mariah was working the casual style but rather that this was the first time in many years when she was seen without heels.

In fact, as her husband also told her a while back, she was actually wearing flip-flops.

Moreover, reports in the blogosphere say that paparazzi also asked her a couple of questions as they were taking her picture, among which was also the one of whether she and Nick had named the twins yet.

Word has it Mariah said “yes” but refused to go into details, saying she wanted it to be a surprise. As we also informed you a while back, the singer has also refused to say when she’s due.

HTC ThunderBolt RUU Available for Download

HTC ThunderBolt is one of the mobile phones that should bring the 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) goodness and Google's Android mobile operating system to Verizon Wireless' customers in the coming weeks.

Following a long series of rumors on this device, which was expected initially to arrive on the market as the DROID Incredible HD, the official announcement on its arrival has finally emerged earlier this week, and phone's ROM didn't take long to make an appearance either.

The info on the availability of the HTC ThunderBolt RUU (ROM Update Utility) emerged on the XDA-Developers forum here.

Those who are interested in learning more on what was packed inside the software should find it available for download on the said thread as RUU_Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_1.03.605.10_Radio_1.02.00.01 03_2r_NV_8k_1.37_9k_1.52_release_165253_signed.exe

For those who might not know, as we should note that the ROM is not available for installation on a mobile phone, but it does offer those familiar with this kind of software the possibility to learn a little more on what was packed with the handset that would feature it.

Pieces of info on settings, apps, and the like are available there, and some of these might also be posted to other devices, so as to make them more appealing than they are.

At the same time, we should note that the guys over at briefmobile posted on their website links to the HTC ThunderBolt (aka Mecha) system dump, and to the PG05IMG.zip file.

Little is known at the moment on what info these files would provide on the new smartphone that would soon feature 4G connectivity on Verizon Wireless' airwaves, but more should emerge in the near future.

Of course, the HTC ThunderBolt is not the only LTE-capable Android device announced officially for Verizon, but, since it leaked many months before the official announcement, it can be considered as the most popular of them all at the moment.

Xperia X10 Powered by Android 2.2

Sony Ericsson might not come up with an official Android 2.2 Froyo software update for the high-end Xperia X10 smartphones, but custom ROMs that enable users enjoy the benefits of this OS version already started to emerge into the wild.

The new ROM available for Sony Ericsson's Xperia X10 devices is currently available only in a beta flavor, and can be installed through xRecovery.

The software comes from the XDA-Developers forum, and is described in this thread: “FreeX10 is a clean, fast and stable rom for Xperia X10 based on AOSP and CM sources.”

For those users interested in installing this ROM on their Xperia X10 smartphones, we should note that it requires a rooted 2.1 ROM to be present on the device.

As usual, we warn users that the rooting of any mobile phone results in voiding the warranty for that device.

It should also be noted that installing unofficial software in the device is sometimes quite risky, and that users should refrain from doing so, especially if they are not familiar with what the rooting of a mobile phone is all about.

As for this particular ROM, we should note that, being only in a beta flavor for the time being, means that it still comes with a series of issues, and that users might experience random crashes with it, or that the camera does not work as of yet.

The USB Mass Storage, the hardware video enc/dec + Youtube and Wifi DNS/DHCP / ringtone loop issues initially present with the software already got hotfixes, and the existing known issues might be solved in the near future as well.

Additional info on this custom ROM for Xperia X10, as well as the necessary download links can be found in the said forum thread.

While no OS upgrade will be on its way to Sony Ericsson's Xperia X10 devices past the Android 2.1 platform version, users would still benefit from software updates from the handset vendor, it seems.

One of them is reportedly the 2.1.A.0.390 firmware update, unavailable for end-users at the moment, which should bring forth multi-touch capabilities.

Dual-Core Motorola DROID Bionic Now Here

A new Android-based mobile phone has found its way into Verizon's family of DROID handsets, namely the Motorola DROID Bionic, which packs a dual-core application processor and support for the wireless carrier's new 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) network.

The new mobile phone includes a CPU with each core clocked in at 1GHz, along with 512 MB of RAM, and support for data transfer speeds than are up to 10 times faster than 3G.

The new Motorola DROID Bionic also comes with support for enhanced web browsing features, offering users all the benefits of Adobe Flash Player and HTML5, while also being able to deliver improved graphic rendering when compared to the previous single-core solutions.

“Motorola’s DROID BIONIC gives new meaning to the word “socialize” by delivering multiple ways for customers to stay connected,” the wireless carrier announced.

The mobile phone comes with a front-facing VGA camera so that users can take advantage of video calls on Wi-Fi or 4G. Moreover, it packs an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with video recording capabilities.

The Android device sports a 4.3-inch qHD quality screen, HDMI connectivity for pairing it with HD televisions to enjoy favorite games, or HD content, in full 1080p, not to mention that the handset also includes support for simultaneous streaming of video to the TV and on the device.





“DROID BIONIC brings to life the speed and power of Verizon’s 4G LTE network, giving consumers an unrivaled mobile experience,” said Marni Walden, vice president and chief marketing officer for Verizon Wireless.
“Whether downloading movies in minutes, connecting with friends or co-workers through video conferencing, or blazing through the Internet, Motorola’s DROID BIONIC is what the 4G LTE experience is all about.”

The new mobile phone also comes with corporate email, remote wipe and data security and encryption capabilities that any business user would enjoy, not to mention Quickoffice for document review and editing, conference calling, access to calendar, and a wide range of Google services and applications.

“DROID BIONIC is the epitome of speed, providing consumers with instantaneous access to their personal and work content, anytime and anyplace,” said Alain Mutricy, senior vice president of portfolio and device product management, Motorola Mobility.

“By combining such a powerful mobile device with the performance and capabilities of Verizon’s 4G LTE network, we’re empowering consumers to define how they want to live their mobile lifestyles.”

Exclusive First Look At Apple i phone 5

It may be too early to speculate further than what these pictures purport to show, but readers are more than welcome to share their impressions with us in the comments.

The source of these images is reportedly GlobalDirectParts.com.

Comparison between the alleged iPhone 5 (assembled) and the current-generation iPhone (4)
“We have carefully examined and scrutinized these components and have confirmed 100% that these are born from an Apple iPhone not yet released,” the PDA and smartphone parts supplier said.

“Could it be parts for the CDMA Apple iPhone 5 for Verizon Wireless or simply a reworked Next Generation Apple iPhone 5 or Apple iPhone 4 for AT&T that will be released ahead of Apple’s Traditional June Launch?” GlobalDirectParts.com asks.




“Perhaps these parts belong to an Apple iPhone 4 CDMA Version that will be released on Verizon Wireless Only? One thing is for certain, these parts are new and internals for a yet unreleased Apple iPhone Handset,” the company concludes.

It is possible, some claim, that the new design pertains to an improved version of the iPhone 4, perhaps the one rumored to emerge on the Verizon CDMA network.

And while the clearly visible SIM card tray would indicate otherwise, it is also possible that Apple is going for a universal design with the upcoming iPhone model, be it an improved version of the current-generation handset, or the 5.0 iteration of its insanely popular smartphone.

Perhaps it is worth noting that Apple pundit John Gruber (of the Daring Fireball) calls the news “Crazy.”

He adds: “My guess is that these are parts from N92, the upcoming (but as yet still unnannounced) CDMA iPhone 4. But why a SIM card slot? World compatibility?”, he writes.

Features:

Thinner! With shiny glass back piece – 9.3 mm thick.

Face recognition

Face Time (Video Chat) access on 3G AND 4G

Custom SMS tones

Custom E-mail alerts with ability to assign different tones to each email address

A new, sleeker body design.

OLED screen.

Scratch proof and shatter proof screen

Wireless sync with iTunes

32G (basic) and 64G of memory. You’re sure to never run out.

Extended battery life = 14 hours talk time on 3G and 7 hours on 4G. Standby 600 hours.

More than Half of the Android Phones Run On Android 2.2 Froyo

Google's Android 2.2 Froyo platform iteration is accounting for the largest number of Android devices out there, being present on no less than 51.8 percent of the active Androids that accessed the Market in the two weeks prior to January 4th, 2011.

The latest data published on the Android Developers website shows that this OS version gained over 8 percent share of the Android distribution charts since December 1st, 2010, when it was loaded on 43.4 percent devices.

According to the said data, Android 2.1 was present on 35.2 percent of all active Android devices out there, down from the 39.6 percent it accounted for as of December 1st.

The charts show a newcomer too, namely Android 2.3 Gingerbread, which accounted for 0.4 percent of active handsets accessing the Market during the said time frame.

Older platforms, namely Android 1.5 and Android 1.6 decreased their share even more, being present on 4.7 percent and 7.9 percent of Android devices, respectively.

It's a common fact that Google is offering these details to developers, offering them a glimpse at most active Android devices out there, so that they could focus their applications on these OS releases.

Although Google calls it platform distribution, there are some who stress on the fact that this is actually the fragmentation of Android that is being showed here.

This state of fact might also be proved by the fact that Google has just unveiled a new flavor of the mobile OS, Android 3.0 Honeycomb, which was built from the ground up to fit the large screen of tablet PCs.

Android platform distribution as of January 4th, 2011
Enlarge picture
Designed specifically for tablet PCs, the new OS flavor widens even more the gap between various Android iterations.

However, it should start appearing in these charts as soon as the first devices running under it land on shelves sometime in the first quarter of the ongoing year.




“The [...] stacked line graph [to the left] provides a history of the relative number of active Android devices running different versions of the Android platform. It also provides a valuable perspective of how many devices your application is compatible with, based on the platform version,” Google notes.

Cheryl Cole in Elle: I Have Had Enough of Negativity

2010 was undoubtedly a difficult year for singer and television personality Cheryl Cole, what with her personal life coming apart and some of her decisions on X Factor generating severe criticism. The time has come to turn her back on that.

Cheryl will always strive to be the “nation’s sweetheart,” as she was once called, she tells the latest issue of Elle magazine. However, she’s not willing to put up with negativity for it.

In the Elle interview, Cheryl talks anything and everything, from fashion to music and, last but not least, what a rough year she had.

Not only did she see her marriage to Ashley Cole come apart because of a very public cheating scandal, but she also saw her every move and decision on X Factor harshly criticized.

She even received death threats for them, as we also noted at the time – and that’s not something she was accustomed to until that moment.

Luckily, she’s decided she no longer cares what people think of her: if they listen to her music and like, then it’s cool. If they don’t, it’s just as cool, she says in the interview with Elle.

“I have taken so much [expletive], I’ve stopped listening to other people. I have had enough. There's only so much you can cope with and then you either allow it to swallow you up or you say, ‘Sod this.’ I have had it with negativity,” Cheryl tells the magazine.

“I want people to like my music but I couldn’t give a [expletive] about what they think of me. Take it or leave it. I do not care,” the singer adds.

Luckily, the very difficult year (which was also marked by her coming down with malaria after a visit to Tanzania) also showed her that she can rely on her close friends and family when the going gets really tough.

“I’m lucky in that I’ve got family and friends to turn to. I realize now that it’s not a bad thing to lean on people and accept support. You get to find out who your real friends are when the [expletive] hits the fan,” she says.

Windows 8 New UI (Codenamed Mosh) and App Model (Codenamed Jupiter)

While the first taste of Windows 8 might be just around the corner as CES 2011 kicks off later today, some fresh tidbits related to Windows 7’s successor have made their way to the public.

Windows 8 will reportedly feature a new graphical user interface codenamed Mosh and a new application model codenamed Jupiter.

The information comes from WinSupersite, and has not been confirmed, which means that users should take it with a grain of salt.

Under the codename Mosh the Redmond company is said to be developing a new tile-based user interface for the slate version of Windows 8.

On various occasions when I talked with Microsoft employees that asked for feedback related to Windows 7 and touch, I always stressed the importance to delivering a fully-fledged NUI (natural user interface) for such devices as Tablet PCs, instead of just Windows Aero.

And I always have Metro, the Windows Phone 7 UI as an example. In fact, when I hear tile-based UI, I immediately think that Windows 8 will get a new Metro-like user interface adapted to slates.

An older report indicated that Microsoft was hard at work on yet another GUI for Windows vNext, this time codenamed Wind, and it appears that it’s not really related to codename Mosh.

Codename Jupiter seems to be a confirmation of past speculation indicating the fact that a Windows 8 app store is cooking in Redmond.

The software giant again, has offered no confirmation but it appears that Windows Phone won’t be the only Microsoft OS with its own app store for very long.

According to sources familiar with codenamed Jupiter, the company is said to be developing a Cloud store designed to offer Silverlight applications as AppX packages (.appx).

It also appears that the next iteration of Microsoft’s development platform, Visual Studio 2012 will have a great role to play in allowing devs to build content for the Windows 8 app store by leveraging C#, Visual Basic, or C++.

Free Kindle Apps for Tablets By Amozon

Amazon's Kindle e-reader may be its best selling product, but there is always room for improvement, and Amazon decided to extend the possibility of buying its e-books to even more users by offering free apps for tablet PCs.

As end-users probably know, many tablets, running Android or Windows, will be released at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show.

Since the expo will kick off just days from now, content availability is, naturally, on the minds of everyone thinking of buying one.

Seeing the excellent marketing opportunity inherent in so many slates, Amazon decided to offer a software platform for acquiring and reading its many e-books.

As such, the company has prepared, or is preparing, Kindle apps, free software meant to provide tablets with the functionality already present in the Kindle device.

Considering that such apps already exist for PCs, Macs, iOS devices and smartphones, this will even further boost the marketing prowess of Amazon's e-book store.

"Kindle is light weight, easy on the eyes with a paper-like Pearl e-ink display, and has a full month of battery life. It’s purpose-built for reading. Many people are buying both a Kindle and an LCD tablet computer," said Dorothy Nicholls, Director, Amazon Kindle.

"We’re very excited to support the upcoming Android and Windows LCD tablet computers with free Kindle apps that we’ll tailor for the particular devices," he added.

Amazon's e-book store contains 775,000 Kindle books and allows one to get free samples of any publication, meaning that the first chapter of a book can be read before deciding whether to buy it or not.

The apps will probably come to be known as “Buy Once, Read Everywhere” and will let one sync and read books, jump to the last page read and create bookmarks, notes and highlights.

" I'm Still Here " - Exclusive Behind The Scene Pics

Press:
"Hoax or no hoax, Phoenix gives an all-out performance, which begs the question he asked himself at the beginning of the documentary: IS THE ACTOR PLAYING A ROLE OR IS A ROLE PLAYING THE ACTOR?"
-Sherri Jennings, Washington Post

We all know how better the so called "JP" actor is which all his work has proved.

Here are Some Exclusive Pics of Mr.Phoenix which shows his anxiety during the making of the movie.









About The Film

Oscar®-nominated actor Casey Affleck in his directorial debut together with fellow Oscar®-nominee Joaquin Phoenix blow the roof off of conventional filmmaking in this unique and groundbreaking experimental project. Joaquin gives a powerful performance as “JP,” an out of control Hollywood celebrity who commits career suicide in announcing that he is “retiring” from acting, while at the top of his game, to become a hip-hop star. JP shuts himself off from the protection and better judgment of his agent, manager and publicist, and sets out on a jaw-dropping journey into a decadent frenzy of sex, drugs and outrageousness, as he tries desperately to break away from his old celebrity persona to develop his rap career. Mired in self-doubt and harsh criticism from the media, he struggles to find his identity.
