Mobile Device Friendly Poker Site PokerRoom.com Could Be Returning

James Guill — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 03:44:40 +0000

In the online poker world there was hardly anything to be happy about since the Black Friday. But if rumors are to be believed then this is going to change as a website which was the main victim of the UIGEA will be active again shortly. PokerRoom.com had to pullout of USA was having really bad revenues from the business which resulted in the discontinuation of poker online to its players. However, it looks they may be back soon.

This story was first reported by Pokerfuse a couple of weeks ago when the tweet by one of Bwin Poker’s SEO manager came out stating that soon the website will start working. But when there were frequent queries both from online poker media and the players, the person pulled back his claim and clarified that they might have overreacted to a minor website update.

PokerNewsBoy’s James Guill after getting in touch with his sources at Bwin reported that they are planning on the reopening of the website as hinted by their tweet but nothing more was confirmed. Mr Guill who has been following up the story when it was first reported by Pokerfuse informed on the information received from the sources about the updating of the website. They thought the updating of the website was overdue, but this doesn’t seems to be a strong reason.

While Bwin confirmed nothing about PokerRoom news officially but all the rumors which are going on are giving hint that they are up to something. The previous banner of the Partypoker has been changed and this adds to all the speculations which are going on. In addition to the different changes which they have done in their website Bwin also recently setup their accounts on the social media websites: Facebook and Twitter.

According to PokerScout.com Ongame Network is currently ranked number 5 in the world and if PokerRoom reopens then it would be joining Ongame Network. During 1999-2009 they were a known name in the online poker world and during that time they were the first one to offer cash poker games. In addition, PokerRoom was one of the first online poker sites to offer online poker via a downloadable Mac client. In addition, since the site will be owned by Ongame, expect them to develop a mobile phone and iPhone client.

Next Xbox May Arrive In 2013

kurosaki — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 03:03:06 +0000

Microsoft is getting ready with its third-generation Xbox for the holiday 2013 season. The Manufacturers involved in this project expect the next generation game console to be unveiled at E3 2013, according to a report from the gaming-focused news site Develop.

It’s been a long wait — as many as eight years since the launch of Xbox 360, which caused a frenzy among gamers hoping to buy the one or two units available daily at retailers such as Walmart and the now-defunct Circuit City. After six years of strong sales, Xbox 360 unit sales slowed in the quarter ending Sept. 30. Microsoft has shipped more than 2.3 million units compared with 2.8 million during the same period as last year.

The gap between consoles has been punctuated by Microsoft’s introduction of Kincect , an add-on for Xbox players that uses the body as a controller. Most recently, Microsoft has added TV streaming to its Xbox Liveservice as it continues to position the console as the center for family entertainment.

Microsoft has yet to issue a formal statement regarding Xbox Next. “ The collection of data points to a 2013 launch for the system across all main regions, though early 2014 remains a possibility, ” Develop concluded on its web site.

AMD’s Fusion A-Series chips

kurosaki — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 03:25:13 +0000

AMD has come clean with its latest class of hybrid CPU / GPU chips, officially dubbed the Fusion A-Series. Unlike the low-power flavor of Fusion accelerated processing units already on the market, these 32-nanometer APUs were designed with desktops and mainstream laptops in mind, taking direct aim at Intel’s Core 2011 processors with the promise of superior processing and discrete-level graphics, and 10-plus hours of battery life.

Besides performance and battery life claims the company is making (much more on that in a moment), what this means is that as far as laptops go, AMD is completely stepping away from the standalone-CPU-plus-GPU paradigm. But, the company will still make dedicated Radeon cards, which can be coupled with an APU for a 75 percent boost in graphics performance — a setup AMD is calling “Dual Graphics.” All told, these chips measure just 228 square millimeters. To put this in context, check out the gallery of hands-on shots below, featuring the A-series next to a standalone CPU, discrete graphics card, and, for the sake of scale, the kind of low-power Fusion chip introduced back at CES.

PCs are ready to be shipped, and AMD says we can expect to see at least 150 of them this year. That sounds promising indeed, but we’ve still got lots of technical details to rehash. Head on past the break for the full spill on what these APUs pledge to do, along with a video of AMD senior product marketing manager Raymond Dumbeck showing off some A-series laptops in action.

A-Series includes seven laptop APUs across three families, and offers up to 4MB of cache, and clock speeds as high as 1.9GHz in the dual-core A4 chips — up to 2.5 GHz if you take into account AMD’s Turbo Core technology. These chips are also stereoscopic 3D-capable, and support USB 3.0, DirectX 11, OpenCL / OpenGL, AMD Wireless Display, and both 1600MHz DDR3 and low-power 1333MHz DDR3L memory.

AMD isn’t shying away from direct comparisons with Intel’s Sandy Bridge CPUs. The APUs promise more than ten and a half hours of resting battery life with the help of power gating, and AMD makes the pointed claim that its quad-core A8-3510MX APU can last more than three and a half hours longer than a dual-core Core i5-2410M processor. And the explicit one-upmanship doesn’t end there. AMD also says that its dual-core A4 chips will compete with Core i3 CPUs, with the quad-core A6 going after i3 and i5, and the quad-core A8 taking on i5 and i7. Systems with the A4, A6, and A8 chips are expected to start around $499, $599, and $699, respectively.

Graphics-wise, the A-Series has up to 400 shader cores, depending on the model, and ushers in two additions to AMD’s Vision Engine: AMD Perfect Picture HD, which cleans up 1080p video post-processing, and AMD Steady Video, which compensates for camera shake in movies. As you can imagine, we’re impatiently waiting to get our first A-Series laptop in to review so that we can test all these claims, but until then, get your fill of details with the chart, PR.

The 3D Innovation, Gimmick or Game?

mohseen lala — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 20:31:54 +0000

Forget HD (high definition) TV, the future is 3D. So we are led to believe by major entertainment and electronic companies. If a practical and budget concise view is taken towards the whole 3D trend, it honestly seems like a complete gimmick.
First of all it should be noted that 3D technology itself is an amazing piece of innovation, the problem is with its implementation. Also a major problem with 3D is that it has almost no compatibility with any modern existing technological standard, as a result users have to fork out extra cash to enjoy their 3D TV’s or game consoles. Speaking of extra peripherals, the following is a list of major reasons certain 3D outlets should be avoided, and also a list of 3D outlets that you should consider using if you do truly enjoy 3D.
3D CINEMA: the biggest craze for 3D content right now is in the form of movies, and this is a double edged sword. Some movies are certainly excellent when viewed in 3D, their storyline, shooting format and genre lend themselves very well to 3D technology (Transformers 1,2,3, Avatar). Unfortunately Hollywood disagrees, a majority of movies are coming out whether or not they would fit into the 3D realm of movie watching, a crying shame really. What’s worse is the cost, you have to fork out extra cash for those gigantic and awful looking 3D glasses to watch a movie that would have been perfectly suited to either IMAX or plain 2D.
3D TV: 3D TV is another piece of gadgetry made to suck your wallet or purse dry, most users are dismayed when they realize the only piece of 3D media they will be able to watch on their TV’s are 3D DVD movies and games, which require the purchase of 3D compatible games. Watching 3D DVD’s usually requires the extra purchase of a compatible DVD player, glasses and of course the actual screen. So just save your money and purchase a nice big HDTV, you will much better off as a result.
3D Games: 3D Games are generally worth the cost, especially if you are buying the Nintendo 3DS, whether or not to buy 3D compatible games for a Playstation 3 Depends on how big a fan you are of the game in question, but over all 3D gaming is a good way to spend your money as a 3DS fan.
3D Phones: There are only two 3D phones in the market right now, the LG Optimus 3D and HTC EVO 3D, both phones are definitely worth buying, particularly the LG Optimus 3D as it comes with 3D TV OUT, which means you transfer your 3D content to a 3D TV. It also shoots 3D video.
So there you have it, 3D cinema is only worth it if the movie compliments a 3D avenue, otherwise it a gimmick.
3D TV is a complete gimmick, requires a dozen or so peripheral and extras to work. Please avoid. 3D gaming is worth it on the handheld Nintendo 3DS, otherwise it depends on the game being played. 3D phones are definitely the future of 3D, as they do not require glasses or any other peripheral. So in short 3D games are good to go, so are 3D mobile phones. Otherwise 3D is still just a gimmick.

iPad, Was it Worth The Hype?

mohseen lala — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 20:26:13 +0000

The iPad2 is out, and its selling at $499. But let us take a look at the original the first true Pad, the original iPad.

The iPad was truly minimal in terms of features and outstandingly expensive. It was simply a large iPhone, actually the iPhone was better… You could make calls with it.
The iPad lacks external memory upgrades, true multi-tasking, powerful battery life, Flash support (how did they ever miss that!). As a matter of fact, the iPad was simply hype. For cash strapped iPad fans, here is a cartoon to illustrate a point you should keep in mind when buying the iPad 2.
It seems like Samsung and other companies took what was missing form the original iPad and capitalized on it, my personal favorite being the Galaxy Tab. As a result the iPad 2 seems to be their equivalent, no their leader. Hmmm, that must be a first time experience for Apple. Suffice it to say that Apple have lost the Pad contest, even with the iPad 2 in tow. Whether it be in terms of features, the Ipad has lost tot he Galaxy Tab, in terms of power it loses to the Motorola Xoom. In terms of OS its a tie between Android and IOS4.

So here is our lesson, the iPad and iPad 2 are not very good Tablets to buy now, unless your rich and wish to make a fashion statement, there are much better alternatives. Keep searching and good luck.

How to take care of your refrigerator

Pinaki Goswami — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 14:32:41 +0000

Typically, the placement of the refrigerator is such that insufficient space and poor air circulation along the rear side of the refrigerator make them exposed to dust. Hence, proper cleaning is must.
You should ensure cleaning of the compressor coils every month or so. Do check the placement of these coils in the refrigerator as they should be conveniently cleaned. After removing the electric connection, a vacuum cleaner can be used to remove the dust settled on them. Use mild detergent and water to clean your refrigerator gasket and freezer doors clean.
It is sometimes common to place warm or luke warm food items into your refrigerator, because you have not got time to wait for it to cool completely. Instead wait until food is completely cool before placing it into the refrigerator. This will ensure that your refrgerator is not having to work overtime to compensate for the sudden heat differential and will ensure that you maximise your refrigerator energy savings.
It is often tempting to pack your refrigerator and freezer with as many food items as possible especially if you have limited time and depend on ready meals or quick meal options, or alternatively just love picking up bargains at the supermarket. However, over-filling your refrigerator or freezer means that your appliance has to work harder to stay at a constant temperature because there is more food to keep cool.

The Samsung Shark

hubbort — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 15:15:40 +0000

I recently got a hold of one of the new Shark series of Samsung mobile, the GT-S5550. This is my first time to own a Samsung mobile phone, not to mention a slider type and honestly, I’m very impressed with its performance so far. The ergonomic slim housing fits snugly in my palm, the shiny metallic design makes it cool and sophisticated. The slide keypad is a virtual texting delight because of its easy to press large keys. This 3g quadband phone has 127mb internal memory and up to 8gig external memory capacity.

The selling points of this particular unit is its ultra brilliance Amoled display screen. The big 2.2 screen size, 262k resolution Amoled technology delivers stunningly vivid, true-to-life colors like you never seen before even if you are viewing in an odd angle from the screen. And what better way to appreciate it even more is with its powerful 5.0 megapixel camera with built-in LED flash which is perfect even for video recording.

The only thing that puzzles me is that it has no wifi capabilities yet according to the specification found in the internet, the GT-s5550 is wifi ready. A simple misinformation?

Overall, the Samsung GT-S5550 is a great phone especially to those who enjoys the art of multimedia. I, on the other hand would consider it as a fresh new way to see and experience the world in a more colorful ways only Samsung can deliver.

The world of computer animation

Samanatha Jones — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:12:40 +0000

It is computer animation that is responsible for the adorable, cute and funny cartoon characters that one can see in the movies or on the TV. There was a time when these complicated characters were drawn manually, but these days, according to the latest trend professionals make use of a computer in doing so. Computer animation involves the use of both 2D (two-dimensional) as well as 3D (three-dimensional) graphics. This digital technology has reinstated all the customary techniques such as stop motion animation. This could be made possible because of 3D models and frame wise animation of 2D images.

A number of animated movies have been completed, covering animal characters such as “Finding Nemo”, certain fantasy characters such as “Monsters Inc.” and “Shrek” and even the human beings, which are basically still cartoons such as “Final Fantasy: The spirits within”. Next to the United States, another country that has an enormous enthrallment for animation is the highly-developed Japan. They refer to their animation as “Anime” that are usually under the influence of Japanese manga.

With the alteration in trends, the animation is now also being used in supporting explanations for making the process of learning easier. There are countless animation schools, which train the students for an outstanding career in crafting special effects, cartoons, games and much more.
