Metal Gear is one of my favorite game franchises of all time, and it's arguably the biggest making its way to the iPhone. I'm excited, but I don't know about this trailer.
From the smidgin' of gameplay footage we see there at the end, it kind of just looks like Time Crisis with Solid Snake—I see some strong signs of duck-and-cover shooting, which as we've already found out with Time Crisis Strike, feels like cheating at Duck Hunt by putting the gun barrel against the TV.
Konami's rolling out a version with the first 12 stages by this spring, following up with the rest of the game (8 more stages) as a free update later.

Dell Explodes at Conference 2The story of Exploding laptops is not a new one. The Lithium battery in your laptop expands to the point where it breaks the encasement. Dell, Sony and IBM ended up recalling a series of batteries to prevent computer loss.
There is a video on YouTube simulating an exploding laptop (basically put together with help so it could explode). The initial explosion might not hurt, but if you don’t take immediate action, major damage will ensue. Here is why: A laptop battery is comprised of “Cells”. Usually there are 3-4 cells in a battery. Once one cell causes a breech, The other cells will eventually follow.
Now imagine you using your laptop: Is it sitting on your lap right now? Are your hands resting right above the battery? The initial cell explosion would most likely burn, but you would have enough time to react and get away from the machine.
Will that change my mind on using a laptop? Not really. However, it will make me more aware of how I use the machine. I still find it funny how some people leave their laptops on 24/7. Some have it constantly plugged into the wall, which can cause undo strain on the battery and ultimately cause it to fail.
I also see people close the lid, unplug it, then put it in their bag so they can go home. All because they don’t want to turn it back on, so it spends twenty minutes or more in a bag during a commute. Not to mention the sidetracking you can do, like go to the store on the way home to pick up a gallon of milk and bread.
The reality is the average laptop will not explode. The battery would need to have a defect in it to begin with. But you never know.
BTW - if you want to feel conscious about the environment, then the laptop you want is a MacBook Air. It’s made with an all-aluminum case, BFR and PVC free circuit boards, arsenic free glass and a Mercury free monitor.

Sony Ericsson technically announced the Idou, they’re not saying all that much about it. We know that it’s rocking a 12.1 megapixel camera, a 3.5″ 16:9 touchscreen, and - get this - a yet-to-be-finished version of Symbian. To top it all off, “Idou” isn’t actually the final name. It’s an odd announcement - but seeing as the camera is probably going to be the selling point here regardless, I suppose they’ve said all they need to.
p/s: hmm...I hated SE before coz of the software that using Java...but...SE with Symbian??...damnnn....my message to Nokia......you have to work real hard after this...SE can be perfect with Symbian..

Little family ... Alfie, Chantelle and baby Maisie
Caring ... Alfie bottle feeds his little daughter
Devoted ... Alfie holds and cuddles Maisie
The baby father ... Alfie Patten with little MaisieBOY dad Alfie Patten yesterday admitted he does not know how much nappies cost — but said: “I think it’s a lot.”Baby-faced Alfie, who is 13 but looks more like eight, became a father four days ago when his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman gave birth to 7lb 3oz Maisie Roxanne.He told how he and Chantelle, 15, decided against an abortion after discovering she was pregnant. The shy lad, whose voice has not yet broken, said: “I thought it would be good to have a baby.“I didn’t think about how we would afford it. I don’t really get pocket money. My dad sometimes gives me £10.”Alfie, who is just 4ft tall, added: “When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble. We wanted to have the baby but were worried how people would react.“I didn’t know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good, though, and care for it.”Alfie's story, broken exclusively by The Sun today has sparked a huge political storm with Tory leader David Cameron saying: "When I saw these pictures this morning, I just thought how worrying that in Britain today children are having children."I hope that somehow these children grow up into responsible parents but the truth is parenthood is just not something they should be thinking about right now."

Earlier this year Lego and Digital Blue announced combined efforts that would yield a variety of Lego-centric electronics aimed at kids. Slated to be released by this Summer, the announcement included details on a digital camera, a walkie talkie and an MP3 player - nothing too crazy. These functional toys would appear as though they had been built from lego bricks and would all fall into an affordable $20 - $60 price range. Cool. An anonymous tipster may have just shined some light on a yet-to-be-announced element of this partnership however, that might bump the endeavor’s interest-factor from a 1.1 to an even 2.Source:

Ouch, there's never anything more embarrassing for an IT security vendor than finding vulnerabilities in its own software, or having its own databases hacked. Well, the PR team at Russian anti-malware firm Kaspersky Lab must have had plenty to think about over the weekend, after it emerged that the firm's US portal was hacked.The hacker, a chap named Unu, posted details of his SQL injection attack on the HackersBlog site."Kaspersky is one of the leading companies in the security and antivirus market. It seems as though they are not able to secure their own data bases," Unu wrote in a posting on the site.Source:

Internet phone company Jajah can turn the iPod Touch into an iPhone. (Download from CNET Download.com.) The company, which competes with other low-cost Internet calling applications such as Skype, announced Thursday a new application that will allow Touch users to call and text messages using a voice over IP network instead of a carrier's cellular network.All that is needed to start making calls is the Jajah application, the latest version of the iPod Touch, a microphone headset, and a Wi-Fi connection. While the Jajah service can reduce calling costs up to 98 percent, the fact that it must be connected via a Wi-Fi network limits where it can be used. For this reason, it's unlikely that the Jajah-enabled Touch would really steal business away from the iPhone, which is a full-fledged mobile phone that operates over a traditional cellular network. Jajah plans to sell the application as a "white label" service. This means that it will license the application to wireless operators and non-wireless operators who offer it under their own brand instead of a standalone Jajah application. It's unlikely the service will be offered for free. Instead, service providers might offer the application for $10 a month.

Dezeen posted on this crazy looking house built in Suffolk, England, which is actually three separate structures, and a garage that are unified by a sliding wall which can envelop them together. Designed by Architecture firm dRMM, the outer wall of the house moves along a 28 meter track and can sit over any part of main house's 16-meters linear frame, or move to cover any part of the 7-meter annex, or the open space in front of the 5 meter garage. A greenhouse looking structure is part of the main house, but is built in such a way that it almost looks like its own entity

Apple is, at long last, acceding to the wishes of a great many iPhone users and will allow Adobe to release a version of Flash for this device.A Flash player is on virtually all desktop PCs, but has only been slowly creeping onto smartphones. Devices without it aren't be able to easily view many web sites, as these depend on Flash for navigation. In addition, popular sites like Hulu, Fox on Demand, and NBC.com require a high-performance Flash player to view their videos. Adobe has been trying to get Flash support on the iPhone since before the device was released, but Apple has resisted. Last year, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said that this Web-based multimedia system wouldn't perform well on its smartphone or the iPod touch. But Apple has relented, and asked Adobe to create a version of the Flash player for the iPhone. "It's a hard technical challenge, and that's part of the reason Apple and Adobe are collaborating," Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen told Bloomberg. "The ball is in our court. The onus is on us to deliver."When this software will be released is not known.Source:
