The Ballad of Gay Tony, as it is called, will be released via Xbox Live, as was previous DLC The Lost & Damned, but will also be published on a disc.Take Two, which is handling publishing duties on the title, is saying that this move is a direct result of the response to the Xbox Live only release of The Lost & Damned, which presumably refers to the sales numbers posted by the release.Strauss Zelnick, the chairman of the board at Take Two, said that “one of the lessons†of the past is that “it's clear that retail is the channel for the foreseeable future,†hence the decision to put the DLC on a disk.Ben Feder, the Chief Executive Officer of Take Two, has also said that “We're a pioneer on downloadable content with the two episodes for GTA4. At the same time, retail remains our primary channel, so we're making those titles available on a disc.â€At the same time, Tak!

--------
Last year, Hollywood star and budding filmmaker Natalie Portman sold her Manhattan condo for an estimated $7 million. She is now ready to move to one of the most beautiful and secluded enclaves in Los Angeles, having just purchased a 1930s-era house that suits her personality and stylish tastes exquisitely, as Just Jared informs, citing InTouch magazine. The historic property, which is described as a “castle-like†construction, is not as impressively big as the mansions celebrities usually buy. Then again, one might as well say, it’s not like Portman is the kind of star that would willingly draw attention to herself, as all her fans must know by now. In this sense, the new, four-bedroom residence is ideal for a life away from the maddening crowd, as they say. The estate also includes a private courtyard and two guest houses, which are perfect for when friends or the family come to visit. “Natalie wanted a property that had character and integrity, something that w!

Samsung looks to be taking the opportunity at this year's IFA show in Berlin, Germany to announce a series of new products, including the trio of the new, N-series netbooks we covered earlier today. On that note, the company has just announced the introduction of its new, X-series laptops, a new line of ultraportable computer systems designed on the increasingly popular Intel CULV platform for ultra-thin laptops. With the launch of the new series, the company has informed about three new laptops, boasting an 11.6-inch (X120), a 14-inch (X420) and a 14.6-inch (X520) form factor. Although details on the internal specifications are somewhat scarce, we do know that the new laptops will be featured with an unannounced, dual-core Intel CULV processor, coupled with some of the traditional specs on a laptop in its category. The three are designed to provide users with standard Wi-Fi and a Bluetooth connectivity, a built-in card reader and an HDMI port. The X420 and the X520 have !
been featured with a six-cell battery pack that is said to deliver up to nine hours of battery life, as the company claims. The smaller, X120 model is said to arrive with a standard four-cell battery. Designed to compete with some of the other CULV-based laptops on the market, the trio boast a thickness of around 0.95 inch and are featured w...

It was made for the GameCube, the PlayStation 2 from Sony, the PC, and the Xbox from Microsoft, and classed as an action adventure title played from a third person perspective, incorporating elements of a shooter, a role playing experience and some problem solving. The game is not too involved in any of the genres, instead trying to create an adventure where each element is easy to access and complete.It is positioned as a three-dimensional version of the game initially released in 1983.

Just yesterday, we were telling you time and time again how Jon Gosselin, half of the “Jon & Kate Plus 8†show, did not like to do media interviews, save for the occasional, impromptu statements he gave to the paparazzi camped outside his home. His appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America is clearly the exception that makes the rule, since it was prompted by his desire to expose Kate Gosselin for the manipulative, abusive wife she was. The media has long said that Kate seemed, if not downright aggressive, the kind of person who liked to rule with an iron fist and no gloves. What Jon is now telling the media is that she is actually more than that, as he can personally testify after having endured years of verbal abuse and being put down. What was the worst, though, is that not even once did she acknowledge that he too played an important part in the marriage, making it sound like she was doing everything. “I took a lot of abuse from her. I was put down. Sheâ€!

The app can calculate a route for the desired distance, is freely available for download and can export directions onto the users' iPods. Currently at version 2.1 Beta 9, TrailRunner includes minor updates targeting the Snow Leopard compatibility, as well as the addition of a message dialog when a track editor operation is not valid for the current selection. Two bug fixes have made their way into this release, one of which addresses activity entries added from a merge (used to miss the routes' name). Another fixes a kml importer issue. TrailRunner can display maps and elevation data from web-based mapping services like USGS topo maps, import GPS Recordings from Trails for iPhone, as well as import tracks and workouts from GPS fitness devices like the Garmin ForeRunner or Garmin Edge.

Because of the earlier burglary, an unarmed security guard was on-duty inside the store. However, the guard didn’t intervene when one of the men motioned that he had a gun. The men took 23 laptops, 14 iPhones and iPod touches, then fled i!

Oscar-winning Cate Blanchett suffered what seems to be a serious head injury during a confrontation scene for the play “A Streetcar Named Desire†on stage at a Sydney theater, the Daily Mail writes. The actress plays Blanche DuBois and was injured when co-star Joel Edgerton, who plays Stanley Kowalski, accidentally hit her in the head with a radio, which he was supposed to throw out a window. Producers had to cancel the representation. The incident occurred during a scripted confrontation scene that had Stanley (a part made legendary by Marlon Brando) raise his voice at Blance and then hurl a radio out the window. However, actor Edgerton’s aim was not good, so he hit Blanchett in the head with the prop. Cate fell to the floor, reports say, covering her head, but the audience could see there was blood streaming from where she had been hit. Surprisingly enough, Blanchett attempted to continue with the performance, but realized she needed help, as she tried to walk up!

HTTP:: Revanded OCZ Z Drive Looks Better Packs Same Performance Specs
--------
Back in March, this year, at the CeBIT 2009 computer show in Hanover, Germany, OCZ Technology showcased an interesting product, dubbed OCZ Z-Drive, an MLC-based Solid State Drive that had been designed on a PCI-Express interface. Since then, the Flash memory vendor has continued to work on the development of the product, making it more suitable for use in high-end computer systems.

Back in March, this year, at the CeBIT 2009 computer show in Hanover, Germany, OCZ Technology showcased an interesting product, dubbed OCZ Z-Drive, an MLC-based Solid State Drive that had been designed on a PCI-Express interface. Since then, the Flash memory vendor has continued to work on the development of the product, making it more suitable for use in high-end computer systems.

HTTP:: Antimatter Galaxy Detection Tool to Fly to the ISS

In various new-age astronomy theories, dark matter and dark energy play central roles. In spite of the fact that even newer models have demonstrated that some yet-unexplained phenomena do not require the introduction of these elements in the equation, some scientists continue to push on for the creation of instruments capable of detecting them. One such device is the recently completed Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), the crowning work of engineers at NASA and the US Department of Energy (DOE). It is currently scheduled to fly to the ISS aboard a shuttle mission in 2010. Space-based spectrometers are not something new, but this instrument is particularly important because it represents the first one of its type to take a superconducting magnet to low-Earth orbit. The international physics community hopes that, through measurements collected with the AMS, they will be able to answer at least a small portion of yet-unanswered, Universe-related questions that deal with the!
