This is the same God of War formula you’re used to, spiced up with tons of variety and a new setting that centers around — but does not take place entirely on the side of — Mount Olympus. I’ll spare the exact location details to avoid spoilers, but once again the series blends combat, platforming, and puzzles to make a grand, story-focused adventure, wrapped in high quality production values, giant set pieces, and over-the-top cut-scenes. Chances are, if you were bothered by things like the button-pressing minigames, the puzzles, the linearity, etc. in previous God of War games, God of War 3 isn’t going to change your mind. And if you loved them before, get ready for an incredibly well made follow-up in that same template.

The variety comes in different forms: items that let you run up walls and dash in midair, shine a flashlight, and light things on fire; weapons that are each fun to use and have different strengths against different enemies; creatures you can ride on and attack with for a limited amount of time; special animations that mix up boss fights and let you play out certain story sequences; moves like the combat grapple where you can use your blades to pull yourself towards enemies; and all the standard stuff like weapon/combo upgrades, bosses, puzzles, button pressing minigames, etc. — there’s even a semi-awkward music minigame. And each weapon has unique dodge, magic, and combat grapple abilities associated with it, which adds a lot of depth to the combat system.

This game is expected to release by April 2010 and price of this game is expected to be $13.75 - 37.00 USDs depending on the features and specifications respectively.

The LG KU990 Viewty comes with an original stylus dongle, that doesn’t plug anywhere into the handset. It is attached to the handstrap eyelet instead. It’s quite innovative and looks great, but we’re not convinced that it’s that convenient after all, to have your stylus dangle alongside the handset in everyday use. Price of this mobile is 17740 Indian Rupees.

This will be good news for both gamers and businessmen who work on internet more.

With fiber optics, latency and lag are all but eliminated; meaning no more lucky escapes for your online adversaries, super low ping rates and frag counts that will soar into the stratosphere.

The user interface is 240 x 320. At first, I was disappointed with the small screen. There’s ample space to make the screen bigger and longer but as you can see, LG designed an unnecessary border around the screen which makes the screen look even smaller! You can check the time without opening the phone. All you have to do is click the side button (which is the volume button) and the time will re-appear. The time will not be displayed at all times by the way. I think it’s better that way. It will help you reserve battery.

The camera is equipped with basic functions such as the following:

• Color effect
• White Balance
• Night Mode
• Timer
• Frame effect
• Mirror
• … and more!

Tools for editing (Rotate, resize, insert text and element, clipping, image defect [mosaic blur, distort...], special effect [black & white, sepia, color negative, black & white negative, enhance RGB, contrast, sharpen, emboss, sketch..etc].

HP Compaq Airlife 100 smartbook is not just an imaginary Concept. After spotted at FCC, finally HP officially announced the Compaq Airlife 100 specs. This Smartbook use an Android OS platform womplete with a 10.1-inch touchscreen display, 3G and WiFi connectivity, 12-hour battery life with 10 days standby. HP Compaq Airlife 100 android smartbook is powered by Qualcomm’s 1GHz Snapdragon with a 16GB SSD. This HP’s debut smartbook will be supported by Europe and Latin America’s mobile broadband service and will soon available in US as next HP Mini series. Sadly, HP didn’t explain about the price.

This new netbook also reinforces the strategic agreement signed on November 2009 between HP and the European telecommunications company Telefonica to define a partnership that provides mobile broadband services to markets located in Europe and Latin America. According to the companies, HP and Telefonica have created this association in order to offer an unsurpassable online experience for customers.

As told before the price of this new netbook is still a suspense and it will be coming into market by April 2010.

Aside from e-mail, and depending on access and availability, 21st century military men and women have a host of technological options to help them stay in touch with friends and family back home: cell phones, Skype voice calls using the Internet- e-cards, instant messaging, message CDs, and even social media sites like Facebook.  Penn, who spent eight months in the Al Anbar province of Iraq in 2007, didn’t have access to a cell phone or Skype, but he did have e-mail capability. 

“My wife still has my e-mails,” he says. “I sent 1,845 from the day I left to the day I got back. That’s not counting the Google chats.”

Although he was fighting halfway around the world, Penn says Internet access and e-mail helped him feel much less isolated. “Whenever we lost somebody, whenever somebody died, we’d go into communications blackout — it’s part of the military procedure to protect the family until notification is made,” he says. “We’d basically cut off all access to the outside world — no phones, no Internet. And you’d feel that absence. When you’d come out of it, it would be a giant relief. You realized the world was still out there.”

Technology also helped him keep track of important developments back home. “Our daughter was born two months before I left,” he says. “But my wife was awesome about taking pictures and uploading them to Google’s Picasa” photo-sharing site. “She would take about a week’s worth of pictures and then upload them in one big batch. It definitely closed up the distance.”

Techs have made soldiers to contact their family thru emails and chatting anytime. This makes them happy and even the family members will be happy too.
