Firefox 3 will surely be one software that will be downloaded very fast but the question is: will it make history? We are talking about Mozilla trying to set a world record for the largest number of downloads done in 24 hours with the new browser. Now if they are successful it will be great although the record will be brought done eventually. Now the scoop is that they want to do this on the official launch day of Firefox 3. The problem is that the exact day is not posted, although it will surely be next month. We do hope that their servers can handle the load. Until that time, Mozilla has set up a special page where you are invited to pledge that you will download Firefox 3 on the launch day. You will probably be announced when that is and so far there are around 450 thousand people that have vowed to download the browser. In order to see how things are going you should visit the official World Record Setting Details page.

This is one game that is known around the world under two names, based on where you live: Project Zero or Fatal Frame. Regardless the name, this is definitely one of the creepiest video games you have ever played and based on the screenshots we saw at GameSpot (be sure to click next and previous to see all the screenshots), the newest game in the series is sure to keep us entertained the same way, if not more.

What is interesting is that the new game will only be released for the Nintendo Wii, something that is a good marketing approach since there are not many adult games for the Wii. We do expect the actual launch to have a lot of press coverage, it being dated on the 31st of July in Japan. The release dates for the other countries have not been published but they should be close.

If you looked (or will look) at the screenshots (linked above) you will notice that the game looks really good and I dare to say that it should be the one with the most polished look ever on the Nintendo Wii. Using the Wiimore in order to control the character should fit the game since the camera is actually your “weapon” (so to speak). We recommend that you try other Fatal Frame (or Project Zero) games in the series if you do not have a Nintendo Wii and if you have one you should definitely purchase this title, unless you are faint of heart. The ghosts are tremendous and you might have the feeling you are located in a horror movie.

A lot of gamers are eagerly waiting for the upcoming Resident Evil 5 game and so far not much was known except some screenshots that were released by Capcom. If you saw them you surely noticed that the franchise is going towards a new direction that actually started in Resident Evil 4, with the introduction of various gameplay elements. The bad news is that everybody is keeping the release date a secret although news concerning it have appeared. A business presentation by Capcom was held last week and we did find out a little about Resident Evil 5. It seems that the company plans to launch the game and others from their franchises before the end of March 2009. Capcom seemed to be very happy with RE5 and they think that the game will sell around 2.3 million copies around the world, something that can be achieved if we think about a game that should be better than its predecessor.

Unified SCC is a great plugin that is basically a source control integration for Visual Studio and other IDEs. It can add integration with CVS and Subversion/SVN to a multitude of tools including the already mentioned Microsoft Visual Studio, Visio, Delphi, MatLab, 3D Studio Max and many other MSSCCI compatible programs. Unified SCC aids in automating routine work through easy access to the most used operations while also showing file status in the IDE. A number of advantages can be mentioned upon your consideration of the plugin. First off the need to hold file structure in sync manually is removed. Adding, renaming, removing and moving folders and files is done inside the IDE and all required source control commands are done automatically by this plugin. We can say that source control operations are easily accessible and the integration of the file status icons and the pending modifications window are two very good add-ons, together with the file history viewer. We can also notice the possibility to set source control repository for every single project. If you get stuck, you will also be happy to know that good user support is a reality and this is one of the trademarks of the Unified SCC Plugin.

You can download a 14 day trial easily and try it out from the web site and you can also view the manual, something that you might need, especially at the beginning of operating with the plugin. Full licenses can be ordered online and if you are involved with an open source project actively, one can be requested for free. The same goes if you can help the development of the plugin, find bugs and whatever might benefit the developers.

The Canon EOS 450D is the fourth entry-level model from the company and was launched immediately after Canon had a huge success with the EOS 300D, a model responsible for price breakthrough. This is a long time back but the fact is a lot of people are currently using the D-SLR model, one that is highly popular with photographers from around the world. Canon did have a huge success with the EOS 300D, changing the amateur photographer market forever.

The newest Canon D-SLR is labeled with the name Canon EOS 450D and will appear alongside the 400D model. These two digital cameras look alike and we need to know that the 450D is basically a 400D model but with some extra twists. The Canon EOS 450D works with EF-S lenses and they were especially developed for the APS-C format noticed in the image sensor. Thus the result is a more Read more »

There is no surprise in the fact that Green House came up with this as they are well known for creating various devices that are both funny and useful. They actually have many themes for mouse+pad combinations and this is just the latest one. We are talking about a Golf Inspired Mouse+pad combo, one that is probably inspired by Apple’s old round mouse. It is quite similar although the texture is similar to that of a golf ball, without the presence of a scroll wheel (this might be a problem combined with the fact that is probably not that comfortable). There are also some plastic flags there that make the mouse pad look quite cheap and although golf fans might be thrilled and might purchase this combo, I highly doubt that it will have any real success.

The Sony Ericsson W890i is basically a Walkman branded new version of the phone that appeared after the W880i. It comes equipped with Walkman Player 3.0 and also features a 3.2 megapixel camera and Sony’s IO. Everything comes in a candybar like form that is not that big. The SOny Ericsson W890i is an European only cell phone although the company does want it to appear in US as well soon.

On the whole the phone is a great media player although it is not a smartphone. It is similar to the W880i as it has full media playback and even a front side camera that is useful for video conferencing. We can also notice various music linked applications including TrackID and the SensMe music mapper. Compared with the W880i the Sony Ericsson W890i has a higher resolution camera, a 3.2 megapixels model as compared with the 2.0 megapixel model in the earlier version mobile phone. Read more »

Did you ever want to upgrade your computer and did not know how to do it so that the costs would not be high? Well, in most cases the best upgrade you can do is linked with RAM memory and a double the amount you already have can have a huge impact on how your computer works. You will notice faster load speeds, faster processing speed and you might even see that you can play the game you love faster, without lag or delay. To make it simple, if you just have 512 MB RAM memory you will immediately see a huge difference in how your PC operates if you go for a 2gb memory Upgrade. Now the real problem stands in looking for the best deals possible because you might end up having to pay quite an amount for memory upgrades. That is why there are special offers available at various shops and even on the Internet. Contrary to popular belief, finding the best offer for a 4GB Memory Upgrade does not necessarily need to be at a regular retail shop near your home or in your city. You will see that a lot of great offers are available at online RAM memory shops like memorydeal.net. I must confess that I found the web site out of luck because I was looking for 8 gb memory Upgrades for a friend of mine. You will notice that you will be surprised at the many offers available and the fact is a lot of money can be saved if you need some RAM Memory packages that come with a special offer. In fact, you might notice that you will get a lot more than you bargained for at the local retail shop because memorydeal.net does come with offers that are rarely lower in quality than the competition.

The Playstation Portable is certainly doing great and we see it dominating the Japanese charts and there are even other countries that see the PSP selling quite well. Now we get to see that Sony has decided to launch a new color variation for the handheld gaming device. It will be metal blue, a color that does not look that great but does not look bad either. The trick is that you will only be able to purchase the new Metal Blue PSP if you purchase the “Madden Bundle”. It comes with Madden 09, “NFL: In Just One Play” UMD video, 1 GB memory stick and a coupon that allows you to download Beats from the Sony online store. The entire bundle will cost $200. It is definitely not a bad deal although I doubt that many individuals will end up playing Madden on a PSP.
