HTTP:: One Month ETA for Operation Flashpoint DLC and Patch
--------
Codemasters has announced that it plans to release new content for Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising before one full month passes from the official release of the game. The developers are also planning to release a patch alongside it, mostly to make the game work a little smoother on most configurations. The statement has been made by Executive Producer Sion Lenton in an interview with Eurogamer. He has said that, “Our intention is to align with the first DLC pack that's coming out as well, which is due around the end of October. Hopefully we'll do the whole thing in one,†before adding that, “One of the things we're hoping is we can address the balance of vehicles in the game, as there are people who expected to be able to use them more than they can in the final game. We're really ramping up the vehicle-specific missions in there. It's all really great tech, it all works, you can get in these things, so again, we'll be trying to exploit that as well.†This fir!
st piece of downloadable content arriving so early means that Codemasters is interested in offering as much support for its military simulation as possible. The people behind Operation Flashpoint say that they would really like to add more story missions, but that plans are under wraps at the moment. Presumably, th...

HTTP:: Lose Weight While Doing Housework

Women who favor cocktails over regular sessions at the gym may have found their answer to the ever-present problem of dropping a few pounds. Sky Sports presenter Georgie Thompson has set up a website that is admittedly the contrary of what women going on women’s websites would expect. IAmSuperChick boasts of offering, among others, useful tips for women who wish to work on their figure without having to leave the house. Of course, now they can, while also cleaning up their apartment or house. It’s a known fact that certain activities around the house can actually burn more calories than a simple workout, while studies in this direction have also established a certain connection between women who do more housework and a decreased occurrence of certain types of cancer, as we also reported earlier. Therefore, there are countless reasons to pick up the broom and vacuum, stay in shape and do some cleaning, one might say. However, any type of chaotic exercise won’t do. !
The idea is simple: we’re to use items around the house, items that we’d use as we clean up and mix in some twists and gym-specific moves, Thompson recommends. For instance, a can of beans can be a makeshift weight that we use to tone our arms and prevent the appearance of the much-dreaded “bingo wings.†So, after...

After all, Epic has delivered some interesting mechanics and expositions in its other series, Gears of War, but that is so Xbox 360-centric that it can never allow the company to truly experiment and try out new concepts.

HTTP:: Microsoft Reports 12 92 Billion Revenue for First Quarter
--------
Microsoft has made public the financial results for the first quarter of the 2010 fiscal year, managing to beat forecasts. However, the Redmond company did report a drop in revenue compared to the same quarter of FY 2009. Essentially, Microsoft revealed that for the quarter ended on September 30, 2009, it accounted for revenue of just $12.92 billion. When compared to the revenue figures of Q1 2009, the software giant has suffered a 14% decline. In this regard, operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share have all been affected, going down to $4.48 billion, $3.57 billion and respectively $0.40 per share (illustrative of declines of 25%, 18% and 17%).Still, Microsoft executives noted that the results were positive and that string customer demand had made the Windows and Xbox businesses exceed expectations. In all fairness, Microsoft’s financial results for the first quarter of FY 2010 have been superior to the figures mentioned above. Specifically, the result!

HTTP:: The Monster Ball Tour Will Be the Most Delicious Ever Says Lady Gaga
--------
If Lady Gaga’s performance at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards is any indication of the kind of things she’ll do on stage to deliver her message, fans who have bought tickets for the upcoming The Monster Ball tour are certainly in for a wonderful ride. However, if more confirmation that the tour will be massive is required, Lady Gaga more than offers it in a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine. The “Poker Face†star says that, just like her latest album, the re-packaged “The Fame: Monster,†the tour will also be meant to shock and amaze, a delight for the senses for all fans. It’s an ambitious project, especially if one takes into consideration the fact that it’s been put up in somewhat of a rush, after Kanye West dropped out of the joint tour Fame Kills. Another aspect worthy of being mentioned here is that this show was also moved from early 2010 to November 27, just days after the aforementioned album drops. However, Gaga and the creative!
minds behind her Haus of Gaga joined forces to make it happen. Rehearsals begin next week and, with most details already taken care of, Gaga is ready to offer the first particulars on the much-hyped tour. It won’t disappoint, she says, because she’s thought of it as the u...

Microsoft has just barely released its latest Windows client to the general public and leaks of the operating system have already started to emerge in the wild. Pirated copies of Windows 7 have hit the download tubes since the platform was still in development, from various illegal third-party sources, including torrent trackers and warez websites. Only one day after the worldwide general availability deadline, a different type of leak has emerged. The direct download link for the 32-bit (x86) flavor of the Windows 7 Professional edition has reportedly been leaked. Sources (I will not provide a link because of obvious reasons) reveal that the Windows 7 direct download links available make it possible for users to bypass all mitigations set in place by the Redmond company and one of its online distribution partners, and download the genuine copy of the operating system just as a normal consumer that purchases the product online would be able to.

HTTP:: Aperture X Launching in May 2010 Rumor

A report claims Amazon.com is featuring a new book as available for pre-order with a rather interesting description containing the term "Aperture X." The description does seem to imply that a forthcoming 3.0 version of Aperture, dubbed Aperture X, could be hitting the market by May 2010. Apple is known to be fond of the letters 'i' (as a prefix â€" iPod, iMac) and 'X' (as a suffix â€" Mac OS X, QuickTime X) when naming its products. AppleInsider has found that the book talks of a guide that is "fully updated for Aperture X," while offering no other details on the alleged upcoming version of Aperture. Listed as "Apple Aperture X (3) â€" UNDER NDA: A Workflow Guide for Digital Photographers," the title has a release date of May 26, 2010. The book's ISBN (if the item even exists or is planned for release), is 978-0240521787, which only leads to Amazon.com. Since the alleged book is under a non-disclosure agreement, the site believes its posting was a mistake. "Aperture is a !
dedicated end-to-end workflow tool for photographers, and this book guides the reader through the complete process from capture to input," the listing reads. "The beauty of Aperture is that â€" unlike Adobe's rival workflow software, Lightroom â€" it doesn't force a particular structure or workflow on the user. This more ope...

BlackBerry Storm2, the second touchscreen device from the Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion, was officially unveiled a few days ago, and a series of carriers around the world already started to announce the upcoming availability of the device on their airwaves, with Verizon Wireless being the only operator late to the party. However, there are great chances that the Storm2 will actually make it to the carrier's offering, at least this is what is shown on some newly leaked internal documents from Big Red, which made it into the wild via CrackBerry. It seems that in the end Verizon might be able to launch the new touchscreen-enabled handset from RIM on October 28. In case some of you might have missed the latest posts on Storm2, we should mention that Verizon was rumored at one point to have delayed the launch due to some technicalities, yet the handset popped up recently on the carrier's website, suggesting that things might have been fixed in the meantime. Ho!

HTTP:: Xbox LIVE Update Preview Program Wave 1 Ships Killing Unauthorized Memory Units
--------
Microsoft has started rolling out an update to Xbox LIVE that, among others, is designed to kill unauthorized memory units that customers are using with their consoles. On October 22nd, 2009, concomitantly with the worldwide general availability of Windows 7, the Redmond company gave the green light to Wave 1 of the Xbox LIVE Update Preview Program. The testing program is limited as far as the number of participants are concerned and Wave 1 will only be made available to selected testers. Microsoft warned participants in the Xbox LIVE Update Preview Program to use only authorized Xbox 360 Storage Devices since mid-October. “When Preview Program members start receiving the Xbox 360 system update (…), one of the changes is that unauthorized Memory Units will no longer work with the Xbox 360. If you’ve moved your profile or saved games onto one to “back it up,†you’d better move it back onto an authorized Xbox 360 storage device prior to taking the update. If you!
continue to use an unauthorized Memory Unit after the update, you will not be able to access your stored profile or saved games,†revealed Larry Hryb (aka Major Nelson), the director of programming for the Microsoft gaming network Xbox Live, on October 16th. With the fal...

The consoles will get their hands on it next year, but whether or not the game will make it to the arcades is still under debate.

Capcom's Seth Killian said that upgrading the cabinets was as simple as installing new software and changing the artwork. If we think back to the days of Street Fighter II Turbo, the upgrade meant that the entire dedicated board had to be replaced, so, if they could do a more complex task in the past, it's a bit of a conundrum as to why they're not jumping at the opportunity now.

HTTP:: How to Turn Methane Gas into Liquid Fuel
--------
A group of American researchers, based at the University of Washington (UW), and at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill (UNC) has recently managed to take an important step forward in its quest of finding a method of converting methane gas into a liquid fuel. The innovation could see a lot more uses for methane, as well as facilities brought to the production processes related to obtaining other chemicals as well. The find is detailed in the October 23 issue of the top journal Science.The reason why methane is so valued is because it can double as a very potent fuel, while at the same time generating a lot less pollution than oil, coal or natural gas. Some experts believe that the intermediary development step in our society, as we move from dirty fossil fuels to green energy, will be heavily reliant on this chemical, one of the main components of natural gas. UW Chemistry Professor Karen Goldberg explains that, when methane is burnt, energy, water and carbon di!
oxide are produced. “The idea is to turn methane into a liquid in which you preserve most of the carbon-hydrogen bonds so that you can still have all that energy. This gives us a clue as to what the first interaction between methane and metal must look like,†Goldberg adds. Methane is essentially com...

Shadow of Destiny first saw the light of day in March 2001 on the PlayStation 2, but, after almost nine years of peaceful slumber, it seems like Konami plans to unearth the game and once again tell its tale. It has just announced that it is currently working on porting the adventure title to the PlayStation Portable. The game received a port for the PC in 2002, but this version didn't do nearly as well as the original one. Reviews for the PlayStation 2 applauded it and gave it high marks all around. The PSP-port idea wasn't really well received, but Konami plans to go ahead and do it anyway. Shadow of Destiny for the PSP will follow the same story as the original game, Eike Kusch's attempt to solve his own murder, in what would sound like the ultimate act of revenge. Players will pick up Kusch's adventure as he travels through time in order to discover the identity of his assailant, the man that literally stabbed him in the back as he was leaving a dinner. The 22-year-o!

Besides the present time-line in which the game takes place, 2001, Kusch will travel to 1980, 1902 and 1580 and meet several people that are somehow connected to his life. The game's story proved to be very well written and drew players into its universe with ...

At this point, a number of scientific instruments orbits the planet, collecting data about its temperatures and their trends. Designed and built by an international team of experts, led by scientists at the University of Leicester, in the United Kingdom, the Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) instruments are managed by the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. The lab called a symposium today, in order to present its findings to the world, AlphaGalileo reports. The goal of the scientific payload is to keep an eye on the planet's temperature, and to track its variations over extended periods of time. Its preliminary observation results show, without any shadow of a doubt, a significant and constant warming trend on the surface of the Earth, from the 1990s to the present day. This is the first data set from such an instrument to reveal the long-term changes in the average global sea-surface temperatures. “We have managed to bring about a very challenging transition, from s!

It's been a while since the venerable Civilization series made headlines. The most recent release has been that of Civilization Revolution, which brought the unique mechanics of 4X turn-based world domination to handhelds to some success. Civilization IV, helped by its two expansions, Warlords and Beyond the Sword, is still superbly replayable, while the Colonization remake, based on the same engine and thought to be somewhat flawed, remains a must for nostalgics. But Sid Meier seems to be more interested in creating something entirely new than iterating on old franchises and he has announced that he aims to bring the strategy franchise to the new medium of social networks, more specifically Facebook. In a post on the official forums, his first one, Sid Meier says that, “I wanted to let you know we’ll soon be looking for beta testers to help us develop a unique new way to play Civilization.

It's a widely known fact that the brain, while indeed collecting all the stimuli it sees around us, only presents us with a minor fraction of those stimuli that spring into our conscious mind. When taking this into account, we are, in a sense, partially blind even before a doctor gives the verdict. A new scientific study brings hope to those who want to change this neural limitation. The investigation shows that people can actively train themselves to see stimuli that would have otherwise remained invisible and hidden from sight, e! Science News reports. Caspar Schwiedrzik, of the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research, in Germany, has been the lead researcher for the new study, which appears in the latest issue of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology's Journal of Vision.

Health experts are becoming increasingly worried about how things stand right now: despite repeated warnings, it seems that the number of the overweight and obese is growing at an alarming rate. In this context, coming up with new prescription diet pills that work without putting the patient’s health at risk is vital, USA Today says. At least three new such drugs are currently undergoing tests, pending approval for the US. We must bear in mind, though, experts stress, that these drugs would be prescription-only and exclusively for the use of those people whose issues cannot possibly be solved in another way. Combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, these three new drugs might actually help many obese get back to a healthy weight, thus blocking the risk of further complications down the road. On the downside, it will be at least another year until they become available on the market in the US, the same piece says. “Obese patients who took one of the medicat!

Of all beautification procedures, dermabrasion might be one of the most frowned upon, not so much because it doesn’t return the promised results, but rather because many misconceptions about it still stand, regardless of recent discoveries. On this note, a recent study comes to show that, where the reduction of wrinkles and improving the appearance of the skin are concerned, microdermabrasion, with grains of diamond in particular, can be very efficient, as WebMD informs. Dermabrasion is the medical procedure in which a specialized instrument is used to sand down the outer layer of the skin, thus reducing wrinkles, blemishes and scars, and encouraging the production of collagen. For microdermabrasion, grains of diamonds or other rough materials are used, which means the procedure does not go very deep, which, in turn, might mean the results won’t be as obvious, but neither will the recovery time be as long. Be that as it may, microdermabrasion works, a new study has le!

HTTP:: AT T Enhances Network in Texarkana
--------
Wireless carrier AT&T announced recently a series of network enhancements it has performed in the Texarkana area. According to the company, the improvements include the addition of wireless spectrum in the 850 MHz band, and are expected to result in better 3G wireless connectivity, performance and enhanced in-building wireless coverage. Moreover, the improvements also include the addition of more network capacity, so as to meet the demand for 3G mobile broadband service. The high-quality 850 MHz spectrum, AT&T states, is usually meant to deliver better indoor coverage, and improved service quality and coverage throughout Texarkana is expected to be experienced through the new enhancements. At the same time, the carrier also notes that an increase in traffic has been seen in all areas where the new spectrum has been deployed, although the actual connectivity experience will vary by location. “Continued investment in technology like this is a sign that the Texark!

HTTP:: No User Created Content for Mario Video Games

One of the biggest trends in video-gaming at the moment is to allow players to create new content for the title that they pick up. Media Molecule built LittleBigPlanet, one of the most interesting platformers of last year, around the idea of easily creating new levels and sharing them with other players. Sony is planning to release a racing game based on the same concept. Even the most basic of shooters has a level editor and ArmA II allows for the creation of complex campaigns. Dragon Age: Origins, from BioWare, is set to pack a toolset that allows for the creation of adventures in the same universe. But it seems that Mario-centered video-games could be getting something similar at some point. Speaking in New York at a round table, Shigeru Miyamoto, who is the man behind the most successful Nintendo-based video-games, has told reporters that, “It is an area that I have a lot of interest in.
