Philips Presents: X800 TouchScreen Cellphone
In these past few weeks there was a "rumor" or a "buzz" about Philips and her new xenium cellphone that is about to give a serious fight against apple's iPhone.
Philips announced that they're new X800 cellphonw will have a "e2e" (edge-to-edge)touchscreen, 256K colors, just like apple's.
Some of the features; the X800 have are a enabled Wi-Fi, browser, orientation sensor (familiar someone?)
Works on a GSM Network, has a size of: 240 x 400 pixels, Polyphonic (64 channels) audio speaker, has vibration, bluetooth, USB and a camera of: 2 MP, 1600x1200 pixels.
But, this iPhone wannabe has something really missing - he'll not be a 3G cellphone.
And besides the Dutch company is pushing all its efforts on the asian/far east market — don't rush to buy or even to see this X800 on the U.S anytime soon.
Philips still has no release date on the X800 neither a price.

Hello World in any given programming language
What is the first program u will write in any given
programming language ?
Hello World of course .
the first "hello world" program was written in the first edition of "The C Programming Language" in 1978.
since than it appeared in many programming languages 366 to be exact and now its all in one place here .
it a well organized site in plain text ,but doing the job .
the "hello word" code is written in every language u can imagin .
the shortest way i found is in 1C-Enterprise goes like this
Message("Hello, World!");
and in the language of Assembler-DG-Nova
it takes 46 code lines to do it .
I personally likes the C# Way .
MacGyver is Back ?!?!?
Yesterday in Maker Faire 2008 announcement by MacGyver creator Lee David Zlotoff suggested that he has a big
budget MacGyver movie in the planning stages.
Zlotoff (the real life inspiration of MacGyver character) in extreamly uncommon way somehow ended up with the movie rights to MacGyver and now he have full control over all things regards the movie .
no real promise was given there . the question everyone is asking is will the movie maker would cast the old actor Richard Dean Anderson or bring a younger actor to act as the gadget god ?

GTA IV Bloody Mania
This is got to be one of the greats, even if your not a GTA fan (which I doubt there's many of you out there) - this is it, Rockstar Games Do it again, giving us a reason to buy the XBOX360 or the PS3 for (maybe this and God of War 3).
This review is been written shortly after purchasing a brand new GTA IV for the XBOX360. Buckle up, grab your favorite gun and let's head up for liberty city.
American Dream
Before we begin with the story line, I must say this game was highly expected all around the world, these are the numbers:
The Latest GTA IV title sold a record 609,000 copies on its first day of release, generating an estimated $48.5m !!
In the UK; Eurogamer.net called it "game of the year" and handed it a 10 out of 10 review score.
Niko Bellic, a Serbian veteran of the Bosnian War comes down to the U.S and trying to achieve the "American Dream". After his cousin Roman, who had promised in multiple e-mails to Niko that he was living a great life, with a big house, beautiful women, and sports cars. Roman's promises turn out to be lies to hide his own failures. In reality, he only owns a small taxi business and is in serious debt with local gang bosses, which he manages to resolve by getting Niko's help in....well...killing them, daaaa.
The biggest thing GTA IV accomplishes is a sense of realism not before seen in video games. All the game’s elements come together perfectly to form a world that feels authentic, realistic, and like a living city. The amazing realism and attention to detail makes simple things like watching a pedestrian walk or watching them sail through the air after you have slammed your van into them awe-inspiring.
Graphically it looks great, but is not without it’s hiccups. There is the occasional pop-in during cut scenes and even more occasional frame rate issues. Those few issues aside the graphical detail is astounding and while it may not be the prettiest game on the 360, that is to be expected considering how much is constantly happening all at the same time.
It is not perfect, but its definately the closest to perfection the games industry is going to achieve for a long time. It is one hell of an experience.
9.8/10 Until Something 9.9 comes...check this video out:
