One of the best action games that you can lay your hand on this summer is Lost Planet : Extreme Condition. Fortunately for PC gamers CAPCOM decided to bring this XBOX 360 shooter to the PC also packed with a DX10 version . I havent got my hands on the full version which was released on 26th June , but even playing the demo version was a great experiance . The game demo is also available in DX9 & DX 10 mode . Thanks to my Geforce 8600GT i was able to try the DX 10 version . (more…)

Both Yahoo and Google have updated the photo products “Yahoo Image Search” & “Picasa Web Albums” . Lets take a look at both of them .

Yahoo Image Search results will now contain images incorporated from flickr also . This means that in addition to regular indexed images from the web , the web user will also get results from the 300million images uploaded in flickr . The flickr images would be credited to the photographer along with a link to the other photos taken by the person . I feel it is a good move by Yahoo as this will increase the quality of image searching as well as the results that are generated .

Google has also made some changes to Picasa Web Albums . Picasa users can now place images contained in there Web album on an online map , the users with whom these images has been shared can now see where the photo was taken using Google Maps and Google Earth . I dont see it as too much useful as users can place there photos anywhere irrespective of where it was taken .

Computer Storage is one thing which i cant seem to get enough of . I have 3 hard disks of 80GB capacity (total 240GB) in my computer but still i am running short of space every time . Most of the space are taken by Computer games , Music , Videos and some softwares . I guess the scene should be similar to majority of view .

Seagate has announced the availablity of its 1 TB hard disk for a wide range of consumer desktop PC applications .The new disk will use 4 discs to store 1 TB of data , claiming that it will provide cool temperatures and less power consumption which in turn will help extend the drive’s life . The new range will also feature RVFF (Rotation Vinration Feed Forward ) technology that has been designed to sustain performance in densly packed multi drive environment . The hard disk will be shipped in the third quartre and will be available for around $400 .

How much Hard Disk are you using , do you find it sufficient . Share your views through comments .

Remembering Passwords is a tough job these days as there are many services in which we create an account . A good option you might consider would be to have a same password for all account but this can be highly risky . If someone gets hold of this password , you will be in big big trouble . Even remembering diffrent user names can be a tough call these days . So a need arises to store this confidential information in a secure and safe place . Thats where “KeePass Password Safe” comes handy . (more…)

Finally i am the owner of a brand new XFX Geforce 8600GT . Clocked at 520 Mhz , this baby has got 256 MB DDR3 memory . The best thing is that it is a DX 10 card so the power of Shader Model 4.0 . Now you can expect some good game reviews from me . The first one is going to be Lost Planet , an awesome game .. Halo 2 is next on the list though i have heard its graphics arent that great .

Its going to be Game On for me .

Around 2 weeks ago i started using Safari , though it was faster for me than Internet Explorer and Firefox , there were a few bugs in it that needed attention . Luckily Apple has released an update for the beta version which addresses some if these issues .

The text display has been improved along with launch times . A security hole which enabled a hacker to change the address bar to make a fraud site look like a legitimate one has also been rectified . An update for the mac version was also released which addresses issues related to Google Reader , parental controls , iChat etc .
