HTTP:: Iwata Predicts Extraordinary Sales for Nintendo Videogames
--------
There's no denying that 2009 is, at the moment, a dark year for videogaming. Most companies are reporting reduced revenue and losses, and the North American market, the largest in the world, is in free fall, with sales set to decline by 22% in July. Still, there's one company showing a lot of optimism in the face of adversity, even as its fiscal year began with a 60% drop in profit. That company is Nintendo and its president is saying that three videogames in its portfolio, New Super Mario Bros, Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit Plus, might end up selling more than 10 million units world wide this year.Satoru Iwata talked to analysts as part of a question and answer session following the release of the financial results and told them that “These three titles have already been available for hands-on demonstrations at E3 this year. They were highly evaluated by most of those who actually tried them. Distributors also gave feedback like 'The key player of this holiday season wil!
l be Nintendo as expected.'”The Nintendo president also said that Wii Music and Animal Crossing: City Folk were projected to sell more than they did in the end, with the company seeing their sales of 2.65 and 3.38 million units rather disappointing. They were intended to pick up sales once Mario Kart Wi...

HTTP:: Karl Lagerfeld Coco Chanel Was Not Ugly Enough to Be a Feminist
--------
Coco Chanel, the pioneering French designer that was so influential that was the only haute couture designer to be included on TIME’s list of 100 most influential people of the 20th century, is the latest celebrity to be interviewed by Harper’s Bazaar. There’s a catch, of course, as the magazine did not actually talk to the late Coco, but to iconic designer Karl Lagerfeld, who channeled her for the entire duration of the interview, as Fashion Week Daily can confirm. Usually, Karl’s statements are not even remotely close to funny because he happens to be a very opinionated man who believes only his way is the right way, it has been said. Because of this, he often ends up offending people he has or continues to work with, or even strangers that never crossed his path. However, the Harper’s Bazaar interview with him as Coco Chanel promises to be quite an interesting read, to say the least, judging by the few excerpts that have been made public as a preview. Coco C!
hanel was never ugly enough to be a feminist, Karl as Coco says. “Your clothing liberated women in the 1920s. Are you still a feminist?” Harper’s Bazaar asks. Coco (Karl) is blunt: “I was never a feminist because I was never ugly enough for that.” Of course, the joke is ...

Blizzard is one of the biggest video game developers and publishers in the world, owning a lot of highly popular franchises, like StarCraft or Diablo, but also the biggest MMORPG in the world, World of Warcraft. That is why the company doesn't really do gaming conventions alongside other corporations, as it has its own BlizzCon event every August where fans from all around the world flock to California and get up to date with all of the latest projects from the large company, and also get to actually talk with the teams involved in bringing new content or titles to them. We've already seen just how much hype has built around this year's BlizzCon, as the tickets sold out in minutes or even seconds, and already some of them are fetching some obscene prices on Ebay. Another reason for which fans will be more than excited about this year's event is that Blizzard has announced that none other than the Price of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, will be performing a concert during the la!
st day of the conference. Taking place on the second day of the event, on August 22, his performance will be witnessed by everyone who bought a ticket or who booked it on pay-per-view by using DirecTV and Internet streaming.

While it may seem obvious what technologies or trends are the most hyped at the moment, a nice color chart can't hurt either. Research firm Gartner provides such a chart, called “Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies,” every year, showing which technologies are the most talked about and how far they are from mainstream adoption. This year's high fliers are cloud computing and e-books, while online video is close to the bottom of the hype machine, and microblogging, aka Twitter, heading south as well.In its 14th year of existence, the hype chart plots the progression of a technology or trend from when it first becomes available to mainstream adoption going through the “peak inflated expectations” all the way down to the dramatically named “trough of disillusionment” and finally reaching the “plateau of productivity.” There are quite a few “emerging” technologies on the 2009 chart, some more than 10 years off from going mainstream, others set to get there i!

Hours ago, Summit Entertainment released what the media calls the shortest footage that can pass for a teaser and, in doing so, caused hysteria on the Internet and in the online fan communities. A 16-second teaser trailer for the second installment of “The Twilight Saga,” “New Moon,” has been released, promising fans an even better ride than they had the first time around, if such a thing is even possible. What’s even better than the release of the teaser is that a full trailer will also follow it shortly: in a little less than three days, when “Bandslam” starts its theatrical run, as we also reported a while ago. The teaser, as you can see below, also includes a bit of one of the two scenes that were premiered at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego, namely the motorcycle accident Bella has and Jacob lending her his shirt, much to the delight of female fans some of whom have been dying to see him after packing on muscle. “Summit Entertainment is debuting !

There are three channels that offer licenses for the latest iterations of the Windows client and server operating systems, namely retail, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and Volume Licensing. While OEM and retail licenses are available to all customers, the same is not valid for volume licenses. Only business customers with large IT environments can access Volume Licenses of Windows, for example. At the same time, Microsoft has adapted the inherent activation process and associated mechanism of Windows to the specific needs of customers with certain licenses. While retail copies of the OS can be activated individually, with OEM pre-installed variants coming activated by default, the needs of Volume License customers are more complex. Microsoft has published extensive documentation of TechNet covering this, and IT professionals can access the Volume Activation Planning Guide for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. “Microsoft Volume Licensing offers customized pro!

HTTP:: Bing Crawler MSNBot Crawl Delay Parameters
--------
Crawl delay is one of the options that webmasters have at their disposal in order to control the search engine bots that are indexing their websites. In order to prevent web server load issues, website owners can delay crawling frequency. This move is necessary in scenarios in which the indexing process of large websites delivers a palpable impact on the server resources available. The Bing crawler, which the search engine inherited from its precursor, Live Search, namely MSNBot, can be served crawl delay parameters via the robots.txt file, explained Rick DeJarnette, Bing Webmaster Center. “Bing supports the directives of the Robots Exclusion Protocol (REP) as listed in a site’s robots.txt file, which is stored at the root folder of a website. The robots.txt file is the only valid place to set a crawl-delay directive for MSNBot,” DeJarnette added. “The robots.txt file can be configured to employ directives set for specific bots and/or a generic directive for all R!
EP-compliant bots. Bing recommends that any crawl-delay directive be made in the generic directive section for all bots to minimize the chance of code mistakes that can affect how a site is indexed by a particular search engine.” Here is an example of how a webmaster can set the crawl delay parameter.

If you were worried that your kids spend more time on social networks than studying, fret no more, as a new study by online academic network StudyBlue found that the overwhelming majority of high school or college students said they planned to spend most of their time online doing the latter. This might seem a little surprising but the data does come from an online studying site, not exactly the most unbiased of parties, so the emphasis should probably fall on “said” and “planned.”The study, conducted by StudyU, surveyed about 1,500 high school and college students aged 13 to 24 about their online activities. It found that 60 percent of them planned to spend at least three hours per day studying or doing homework online, more than twice as many as those who would spend more than three hours every day on social networks (26 percent).Other online activities were also less popular like communicating, either through email, IM or other means, which only 28 percent of the!

With the release of Safari 4.0.3 yesterday, Apple not only improved stability and compatibility with the software, but also included a number of security fixes, detailed in a Support document on the company’s official web site. Affecting Safari 4 for Windows and Mac (Tiger and Leopard), a total of 6 vulnerabilities have recently been discovered in the browser and patched with the Safari 4.0.3 update. For example, with the help of SecureThoughts.com, Apple has discovered that a maliciously crafted website may be promoted into Safari's Top Sites view.

Music games are extremely profitable for the companies that make and publish them, as most of you might already have figured out, given the fact that we are bombarded with newer and newer iterations for titles like Guitar Hero or Rock Band. Another way for companies to get off with charging full game prices for titles that don't necessarily bring new improvements is by branding a game with a specific band. We've seen Guitar Hero: Metallica and we’ll get to play The Beatles: Rock Band, but there hasn't always been a lot of success associated with them. That is why Activision, owner of the Guitar Hero franchise, will employ an extremely interesting strategy when it will launch Guitar Hero 5, its latest full installment, and Guitar Hero: Van Halen, which will be a tribute to the famous rock band. It seems that anyone who will pre-order GH5 before its September 1 release date, will get a copy of Guitar Hero: Van Halen, which isn't set to arrive in stores until December 22.!
That's right, Activision is giving away a free GH game for anyone willing to purchase one, the classic buy one get one for free strategy. Although the fine print on the promotion's webpage does say that you have to either redeem your code online, or send a normal mail envelope to Activision with...

HTTP:: TF2 Classless Update Day One New Hats and a Map
--------
Team Fortress 2 is one of the biggest online games out there, managing to win over fans with its distinct art style, tongue-in-cheek approach to weaponry and gameplay and for the top-notch online connectivity. Also, the effort of creating new content on the part of the team at Valve made plenty of players realize just what an investment TF2 was when it appeared in The Orange Box. Almost every class received an update, including new weaponry, achievements and scenarios in order to keep the game interesting. Now, for the first time in its history, the new content update won't be focused on any class, and, as such, it is dubbed the Classless update. As usual, Valve is slowly revealing each day new items and maps that will appear in the game when the update will be released. For the first day, characters in the game will be sporting 18 brand-new hats, in order to further differentiate their own characters and to show off their elitism in front of their enemies. The announcem!
ent is coupled with an extremely funny remark on how hats impacted battles since the dawn of time. This first day also brought news regarding a community-created map, called Arena Offblast, which promises to be “a fast-paced, high-altitude community map set in a top secret missile silo wedged into the top...

Pingie: HTTP:: Tracking Down the Planet 039 s Missing Carbon

HTTP:: Tracking Down the Planet 039 s Missing Carbon
--------
According to statistical estimates, Earth's rocks should have a much higher concentration of carbon dioxide inside them than proven scientifically, and the discrepancy has experts asking where the rest of the chemical went. The estimates were drawn from the amount of carbon that can be found in the planet-forming regions of our galaxy, the Milky Way, which should in theory be translated into approximate concentrations in the rocks as well. Another mystery to geologists is why meteorites found on Earth also have low carbon concentrations, when comets seem to show no deviation from the general rule. In the vastness of space, the interstellar medium is filled with dust containing carbon-rich and silicate-rich grains. These elements can be found on a large scale in this environment, but for some reason, only silicon made its way plentifully in our planet's crust. In fact, geologists believe, it's silicon that is the bulk material making up Earth, for example, and most likely ot!
her planets and moons in the solar system and beyond as well. But, until now, there was no reasonable explanation astronomers could think of that would have explained why carbon falls short of its expected proportion in rocks and meteorites.

--------
Microsoft has yet to complete the next iteration of the Office System, but the company has been ordered by a Texas judge to no longer sell future versions of the Word components of the productivity suite. Judge Leonard Davis, of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, managed to handicap Office 2010 even as the product is in Technical Preview stage, with the release to manufacturing planned for the first half of 2010. The permanent injunction was issued as Microsoft lost a patent infringement lawsuit filed by i4i Inc. At the same time, the software giant can no longer sell Office Word 2007 and Office Word 2003. The IP infringement case is related to Word's capabilities of opening .XML, .DOCX or DOCM files (XML files) containing custom XML. “In accordance with the Court’s contemporaneously issued memorandum opinion and order in this case, Microsoft Corporation is hereby permanently enjoined from performing the following actions with Microsoft Word 200!

Nintendo is one of the biggest companies in gaming today, thanks to its permanent innovation and the fact that it manages to market its products extremely well, no matter how strange they may look or feel. But with the recently announced Wii Vitality Sensor, which was introduced to gamers at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) conference, the PR department will have a lot of hard work ahead in order to make it attractive for gamers. However, this doesn't mean that it doesn't have a high sales potential, at least according to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, who revealed during a recent financial briefing that, even though there were many doubts in regard to the new peripheral, it would attract the market. “Before Wii Fit launched, everyone doubted how well it could sell. As for Wii Vitality Sensor, I think it will face similar doubts as to whether such a product will sell well in the video game market,” he said. “Of course no one can tell how people resp!

HTTP:: Facebook Launches New Notifications and Inbox APIs
--------
Facebook is in the process of becoming more open both towards users, who are encouraged to post more public content, but also towards develops by providing them with increasingly powerful APIs that allow them to make better use of the site's capabilities and data. After launching a new Open Stream API last week, the site is now announcing two new APIs, spurring developers to create applications and features around Facebook's messaging and notification systems. “Today we are releasing the Inbox API so you can provide users with even more opportunities to interact with rich Facebook features within your applications. For example, a desktop application geared toward small business owners could enable users to check their company's Page stream, as well as read messages and receive notifications, all from their desktop,” Facebook's Ben Hiller wrote on the Developers Blog. “The notifications API lets your applications retrieve your users’ notifications to use within you!

Facebook is proposing an updated Statement of Rights and Responsibilities (SRR), basically the site's Terms of Service, and has made the upcoming version of it available for public scrutiny. The social network claims it's just a minor update but there are some changes that are bound to cause a stir, especially the explicit banning of sponsored status updates, which are becoming increasingly popular, for those publishing them anyway, especially on Twitter but also on Facebook. “The proposed SRR we're announcing today mostly includes clarifying changes and minor updates. We encourage you to read the revised SRR in its entirety on the Facebook Site Governance Page, where you can review the changes and give us your comments,“ the announcement reads. However, the revised SRR now clearly states: “You will not use your personal profile for your own commercial gain (such as selling your status update to an advertiser).“ This effectively bans services like Izea or Magpie,!
which pay users to create “sponsored” posts on blogs, Twitter and even Facebook, and is sure to make quite a few users happy.

HTTP:: Michael Jackson Film Released on October 30

Sony Pictures Entertainment and the Michael Jackson estate have been given a judge’s approval to release the footage shot during rehearsals for “This Is It” in theaters on October 30. According to the official press release, most of the footage has been shot in the weeks before the sudden death of the singer on June 25, and proceeds from the release will go mostly to Michael’s children and mother Katherine, Rolling Stone informs. As per the music publication, Sony had to agree to several conditions before being given permission to turn the almost 100 hours’ worth of footage into film. For starters, it had to offer guarantees to the Michael Jackson estate that the resulting film would not be longer than 150 minutes and that it would get a PG rating from the MPAA, and it delivered on both counts. Then, it had to assure the Jackson estate that it would not present the late singer in a negative light, with Sony agreeing to present it with a final cut before the Octob!

HTTP:: Perpetual Reboot for Failed Windows 7 RTM Upgrades from Vista RTM SP1 SP2
--------
In certain scenarios, a failed Windows Vista upgrade to Windows 7 can throw the computer into a perpetual cycle of restarts, Microsoft informed. The Redmond company did not offer specific details on the causes of a Vista to Windows 7 upgrade failure, but it did offer a workaround for end users affected by this specific issue to put a stop to the continual reboots. The KB article Microsoft supplied for this issue was published after the RTM of Windows 7, and it indicates that the problem impacts all editions of Vista RTM, SP1 and SP2. “When attempting to upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 the upgrade attempt may fail with the message “This version of Windows could not be installed, Your previous version of Windows has been restored, and you can continue to use it." However, the next reboot of the machine will launch the upgrade process again only to fail with the same message,” the software giant informed. The perpetual reboots are caused by the way the compute!

The well-known online pay service PayPal has recently announced the launch of a new account type called Student Account, a safer method for teenagers to make online payments when shopping online or in stores (using the Student Card), while also offering parents a wide range of supervising possibilities. The new account type is meant to reduce the hassle that both parents and teens go through every day when exchanging money and, additionally, will allow the youngsters to acquire healthy spending habits by having the chance to be responsible for their own budgets. Also, parents will be able to set up up to four PayPal sub-accounts for each of their teenagers, and can transfer money to these accounts whenever it is necessary, whether it is on a one-time or a repetitive basis. The accounts of the youngsters and of their parents will obviously be linked, so the latter can constantly monitor the former's financial balance, budgeting skills and spending habits. Moreover, the a!
dults will no longer need to be concerned about credit impact since the newly launched Student Account will permit their offspring to spend only the amount available in their accounts. “As a parent I understand the challenge and stress of raising kids that are financially responsible,” says Don Fotsch, PayPal vice p...

In its trek on the surface of Mars, the rover Opportunity has recently come across an ancient meteor, made almost entirely out of metal, according to investigators at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), in Pasadena, California. The peculiar formation is currently helping planetary scientists gain a deeper insight into the ancient environmental history of the planet, and Opportunity has taken a break from its long journey so that it can analyze it further. Opportunity's new object of interest, called Block Island, is among the largest meteorites thus far discovered on the Red Planet. Analyzing it poses some questions about the atmosphere, researchers say. They argue that a meteorite this size couldn't have entered it intact, and that it most likely broke off in several pieces. Unless, of course, the atmosphere was a lot thicker when it landed than it is estimated to be today. Additionally, experts hope to probe the rock for more details on how the climate has affected the r!
ock over the years. By the time pictures of the rock reached the Earth, some two weeks ago, the rover had already driven more than 600 feet passed it. Mission controllers were so puzzled by the appearance that they had the robot backtrack, and commanded it to start investigations. The probe even touched the meteorite with its robot...

HTTP:: White Blood Cells Made from Stem Cells
--------
In a groundbreaking new work, scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison managed to create several types of white blood cells from cultures of embryonic and adult stem cells. The experts first had to convert them into progenitors of white and immune cells, but the astounding success they had with their work could soon allow for embryonic stem cells to be used in hospitals as a very powerful, multipurpose medical tool. The cells that were obtained in the new research could potentially be used as models for analyzing the effects that certain diseases and pathogens have on them. The HIV virus, for example, acts by crippling the immune system, so studying it may be a lot easier if white blood cells become readily available. According to the team, they managed to obtain the immune system cells from both embryonic stem cells, and from reprogrammed adult stem cells, which were beforehand converted to their original, undifferentiated state. Igor Slukvin, the leader of the !
new study, and an assistant professor at the UWM Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, believes that, though the technology is still years away from mass practical applications, it could still be used right away for conducting assessments of new drugs. “Toxicity to the blood-forming system is a key limit on drug development, so...

Hearts of Iron 3 arrived at the end of last week and since then much of my day has been taken up by extended playtime and by anxiously checking the official forums of the game looking for opinions, improvement ideas, reactions and, of course, the inevitable bug reports. And they all came fast and furious, with some people loving the new grand strategy title while others hated the new mechanics and the fact that the game eats up a lot of system resource.Two of the new in-game mechanics that have quite a lot of impact in Hearts of Iron 3 are diplomacy and intelligence. They were both present in Heart of Iron 2 but their impact was pretty much limited. One could actually play the entire release while not bothering with spies at all and diplomacy was mostly relegated to making sure that you got the allies historically joining the Axis, the Allies and the Comintern.But Hearts of Iron 3 is a much less deterministic videogame. And diplomacy and intelligence are not built on using !
leadership to train spies and send out diplomats, a resource which is also used to power the research efforts of your nation.

World of Warcraft is the biggest online game out there, boasting over 11,5 million paying subscribers monthly, who can't wait to find out new information about their beloved title and what Blizzard, the company behind it, has planned for its future. As you all know, a few months ago, the company trademarked the world 'cataclysm', which it tied to various things such as digital distribution or merchandising, but it seems that a lot of people are starting to confirm that it will be most likely the title of the new expansion brought to World of Warcraft, which will follow up the hugely successful Wrath of the Lich King. Also, according to some very reliable sources for WoW.com, this new expansion will most definitely bring two new playable races, one for each of the factions featured in the game, the Alliance and the Horde. These new races have already been highly speculated, as a dedicated player found four Halloween masks in the texture files for the recent 3.2 patch that !

A new form of fitness is currently being considered for inclusion among the sports at the Olympic Games. While the routine itself dates from many years ago and comes with connotations that would make some blush to the roots of the hairs, the founder of the Pole Fitness Association, Collette Kakuk, is telling Marie Claire it’s time to cast prejudices aside and welcome the new form of fitness at the Games. Speaking with the women’s magazine in a new interview, Kakuk stresses that the time when the routine was limited to a certain type of joints and clubs has long gone, since more and more women â€" and even men â€" acknowledge the health benefits the sport entails. In all fairness, experts and trainers do admit that pole dancing is one of the most efficient and fun ways of staying in shape since it engages all muscle groups while also defining them better than other routines. “If you look at rhythmic gymnastics and figure skating, so many of the movements are simila!
