DirectX 10 tweaked by CodeWeavers will bring Windows games and MS Office to Linux and Mac OS X

2009-03-20T09:44:00.000-07:00

Desktop gaming equals to having a PC with Windows Vista on it. Speaking of DirectX 10 games we always mention what operating system is in use because DirectX 10 was originally created for Vista. New Windows 7 from Microsoft will come out with DirectX 11 which will be available also for Vista but it never will for XP. Microsoft inner platform compatibility of DirectX 10 is one big theme to speak about, especially since Alky Project has presented a backported version that runs on XP. However even more boundaries are going to be overstepped soon, the cross-platform ones.

Jeremy White from CodeWeavers says they are working on a cross-platform project that will bring Windows games to Mac OS X and Linux. All this is done of course by pecking at DirectX 10's very insides. They have done this before with DirectX 9 rather successfully and that puts a short doubt at J. White's words. What he says is hard to believe, but we will see soon if his promise about the final version of CrossOver project appears by the end of the year. At the moment there already are stable builds. Trial version of CrossOver Games 7.2.0 can be found on the Web and in a few months there will be CrossOver Linux 8.0 and CrossOver Mac 8.0. They will add support for Microsoft Office, Photoshop CS3, Internet Explorer 7 and more. This is a huge leap forward for Jeremy White as for founder of CodeWavers, but how will Apple and Microsoft stack up with the fact that they are sort of no longer in different camps?

Review Nokia 5800 Xpress Music

2009-01-27T05:10:00.000-08:00

XPRESSMUSIC Nokia 5800 mobile phone is one of the waiting-awaited because it was digembar rant as Nokia will be the first rule of iPhone rival. Using the touch screen facility, Nokia 5800, Nokia also known as the Tube before released, is a mobile phone to the middle that is designed purely for pleasure and a media that offers a similar experience with the iPhone users.

Excess other, this phone comes with Nokia's Comes With Music, a service that lets you download a song with an unlimited number of online music store for a year since the purchase.
Nokia 5800 is a candybar-shaped mobile phone that operates through touch screen facilities. In fact, there is not any one physical button on the N5800, so the same as iPhone, you must do everything through the touch screen facility. Nokia clearly not too sure with the facilities operated touch screen with your fingers, therefore they provide a stylus, something that is not owned iPhone.

Is the most major, the Nokia 5800 is aimed to fan the media, with special emphasis on music. Nokia 5800 has 81 MB internal memory plus microSD memory card 16GB. Batereinya can survive 35 hours (if only set to music) and in standby condition can survive 17 days. Nokia 5800 also features fasitas internet browsing, 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, speaker phone that clear voice, bluetooth, a number of other facilities

Nokia has been trying to use the control panel with the animation in the mobile-phone before, but they had not merged with the animation, such as touch screen on the N5800 this. When the photos, you can move from one image to another only mengusapkan with your finger on the screen. Although this is the first time a Nokia mobile phone to do, easy to understand why people call this mobile phone competitor iPhone

In the phone to enter text, you must use the virtual keyboard. This indeed will cause little trouble, but fortunately the N5800 offers several options to enter the text: a virtual QWERTY keyboard, T9 mode, or through hand stylus, which seems to work quite well.
Initially, the Nokia 5800 phone is designed to be a music player, and this does not disappoint. Not only the ability of the music player is very good, but also the control panel is provided allows you to access all the songs so easy, plus the service Comes With Music.

Music player that can play their own music from a variety of formats (mp3, SpMidi, AAC, AAC +, eAAC +, and WMA) along with the playlist, equalizer, and others. N5800 is also equipped with FM radio and headphone jack.

However, very doubtful that the presence of FM radio features will be required for this service Comes With Music itself is very interesting. Ion is similar to iTunes, an online music store that contains millions of songs, Comes With Music service allows you to see, hear and download songs directly to your phone. However, unlike iTunes, after you download a song, you can store songs and can move from a mobile phone to your PC.

Even better, you do not need to pay per song; otherwise, you only pay an annual subscription, which gives you access to any song you want. Songs will remain on your phone even if your subscription period has ended - you can still save the songs are forever.
Nokia 5800 is designed specifically for use as a mobile phone that emphasizes the player's media berkamera on the phone, the features of the video camera and not the phone-Nokia mobile phone output before. Camera, for example, only 3.2 megapixels, although equipped with a variety of different settings to get the best images that you can get from Carl Zeiss optics.

In addition, with dual LED flash, the image will create better results in less light. Thus, even if the phone does not have a megapixel largest, it can still compete with many camera phones in the market.
The ability of the camera images, the N5800 is also equipped with a video camera that is not too bad. With the ability to produce images with the size of 640x480 pixels and 30 frames per second, it will produce results good enough.

You can also watch videos of different formats, including MPEG4-SP, MPEG4-AVC, WMV9, MPEG4-SP and nHD.
Nokia 5800 is the ideal device to browse the Web. Sentuhnya screen offers a 3.2 "640 x 360 screen with 16 million colors, which means that Web pages will be easier to read. Each Web page easily enlarged with a tap on the screen the desired point. Digeser screen can also be with the fingers, such as the iPhone.

Applications that use a browser that WebKit is also used in all Nokia mobile phone powerful output, and has been used more than one year in my Nokia E90 so I can tell you that this is one of the best mobile browser in the market. Pengkombinasian WebKit control panel with touch screen is a very good touch to make the perfect Web penelurusan the N5800 to be more simple.

For the display, exhibit NB100 size 8.9 "with a resolution of 1024x600. 8.9 Reasons for the selection ", not 10" as part of the netbook other players, said David Woon (Senior Specialist, Product Marketing, South & SEA Computer Systems Division, Toshiba Singapore Pte. Ltd.), due to consumers easily distinguish between netbook and Toshiba notebook. "It was a Toshiba notebook-sized 12", he explained. He emphasized, netbook NB100 it will not seize a portion of Toshiba notebook built Intel Centrino or smartphone. "That is for consumers who are very concerned about the budget," said David.

Size 8.9 ", David demolished, to pass netbook intended as a secondary PC. Light, not too big to-check, and better-ber of activities to the Internet, he said.

Netbook that its chassis-colored mengilat this - there are two piliha: Cosmic black and champagne gold - weighing 1.1 kg.

Gunawan Nugroho mentioned by (President Director, PT Indonesia Techking Enterprises), the main advantages are more on the big brand name Toshiba. Until now, the reputation of Toshiba notebook in the world, is very good.

Which is also interesting, especially in the dollar exchange rate is not stable now, is to be the selling price netbook in the Rupiah currency. "We always sell the rupiah so that the price will not fluctuate even though the dollar rose. Customers do not need to delay purchases to wait for a good exchange rate, "says Gunawan.

2008-11-16T04:01:00.000-08:00

Videogame makers predict jingle bells at registers

2008-11-16T03:53:00.000-08:00

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Videogame sales are expected to be strong this year and in 2009, despite the economic troubles that have hurt some retail stores that sell the games, industry executives said on Thursday.

Speaking at the BMO Capital Markets interactive entertainment conference in New York, they said their optimism is fueled by solid sales of advanced game consoles made by Nintendo Co Ltd, Sony Corp and Microsoft Corp.

"I think it's going to hold up a lot better than other industries," said Mindy Mount, chief financial officer of Microsoft's entertainment and devices division. "We remain cautiously optimistic."

Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America, said its Wii console continues to sell out, while sales of the pocket-sized DS game machine have risen almost 20 percent year on year. For that reason, Nintendo has no plans to cut the price of the $250 Wii, he said.

Microsoft in September cut the entry level price for its Xbox 360 to $200, and Sony last year lowered U.S. prices of the PlayStation 3, which comes with an 80-gigabyte hard drive and a Blu-ray video disc player, to about $400.

"If I look at this from an industry perspective I think cautiously optimistic is quite appropriate," Fils-Aime told Reuters in an interview. "If I look at it from a Nintendo perspective, I would say very optimistic.

The outlook for videogames is rosy in contrast to many other industries that are suffering from the global financial meltdown and rising unemployment, which has prompted shoppers to curb spending.

This week, Best Buy Co Inc, the No. 1 U.S. electronics chain, slashed its profit forecast and Circuit City Stores Inc filed for bankruptcy.

Yves Guillemot, CEO of France's Ubisoft Entertainment SA -- maker of the hit "Splinter Cell" franchise -- said video games are selling well at low-cost retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc and game-seller GameStop Corp.

"In general, there's a lot of competition (from other publishers), but we see that software is selling well, just due to the fact there are a lot of machine owners who need software," Guillemot said.

He said he still expects 2008 North American and European video game industry software sales to grow by more than 20 percent, and added that 2009 "will also be a great year."

Ubisoft's shares jumped 9.55 percent to 38.07 euros in Paris.

ATTRACTING NEW GAMERS

BMO analyst Edward Williams estimated that there are 50 percent more video game consoles installed now than a year ago, and that will spur robust sales as their owners shop for games during the holiday season.

But the challenge for future growth is to draw in consumers unfamiliar with video game systems, who may already be too concerned about their wallets to buy into games.

"The question is the person who is a little more marginal, the person who is new to gaming and is not as interested in video gaming," he said. "That's where I think there is greater potential for risk."

The slump in consumer spending will hurt some game makers, particularly those lacking major hits, analysts have said.

For example, THQ Inc posted a dismal third-quarter earnings report last week and cut jobs, canceled some games and said it plans to retool.

Strauss Zelnick, executive chairman of Take-Two Interactive Software Inc, maker of the blockbuster "Grand Theft Auto" series, said overall holiday shopping "doesn't look very promising" for those who do not have huge hits on the shelves.

"I'm concerned that it's going to be a pretty rough holiday season," he said. "Everyone's going to be shopping less. First you are going to see less foot traffic and then less inventory on the shelves."

Peter Moore, president of Electronic Arts Inc's EA Sports unit, which makes the popular title "Madden NFL," also voiced "cautious optimism."

"We are entering uncharted water from an economic standpoint," he said. "We are holding our breath and hoping the consumer comes out to play."

On Nasdaq, EA rose 7.08 percent to close at $22.22, while Take-Two fell 1.02 percent to $10.69.

Need cash? Pawnshop your iPod - online

2008-11-15T04:38:00.000-08:00

Gadgetell--Let’s say for whatever reason, you need some cash and have some iPods you are hoarding in case the economy crashes and they are used as currency. As an economist (in my free time) I can tell you that day isn’t coming - at least the part about using iPods as currency - and it is time to get rid of them. One easy way: NextWorth.

Who?

I hadn’t heard of NextWorth until today, but thanks to a trusty press release about a new program they have for our men and women in uniform, I know them now. The press release talked about how easy it was for our soldiers to go online, fill out the condition of the iPod. You are then given a value, agree to it and they send out packaging. Once you send it in, their techs go over it and if matches the description you gave, they cut you a check. For our military, NextWorth handles the shipping worldwide.
Psst. hey buddy, wanna sell an iPod?

It seems NextWorth offers this service to everyone as well. I took a look at how much they’d offer me for my iPod touch. $127.50. Not half bad. Then I started to wonder what they did with these iPods. Recycle? Sell to eBayers? The answer seems to be they sell them on their website. Yes, for the same iPod touch I sold for $127, they turn around and sell it for $209.99. Not a bad deal.
And compared to eBay?

Then I checked eBay to compare. The going rate for 16GB touch is $177 to $240 (with more sold over $200). Presumably, this would be safer than eBay as you know at least techs are going over the device. They have all kinds of iPods in various states of repair. Even broken ones are for sale if you feel like messing around. For me, it beats taking a chance on a shady eBay deal. NextWorth looks to be an option to consider if you are looking for 2nd hand electronics.

Google drops Yahoo advertising partnership

2008-11-06T04:22:00.000-08:00

WASHINGTON (Associated Press)- Google Inc. has scrapped its Internet advertising partnership with struggling rival Yahoo Inc., abandoning attempts to overcome the objections of antitrust regulators and customers who believed the alliance would give Google too much power over online commerce.

The retreat announced Wednesday represented another setback for Yahoo, which had been counting on the Google deal to boost its finances and placate shareholders still incensed by management’s decision to reject a $47.5 billion takeover bid from Microsoft Corp. six months ago.

To Yahoo’s dismay, Google backed off to avoid a challenge from the U.S. Justice Department, which said it would sue to block the Yahoo deal to preserve competition in Internet advertising.

“The arrangement likely would have denied consumers the benefits of competition — lower prices, better service and greater innovation,” said Thomas Barnett, an assistant attorney general who oversees the Justice Department’s antitrust division.

Without Google’s help, Yahoo now might feel more pressure to renew talks with Microsoft and ultimately sell itself for much less than the $33 per share that Microsoft offered in May. Yahoo shares were trading Wednesday afternoon at $14.20, gaining more than 6 percent in a move reflecting investor hopes that Microsoft might renew its pursuit.

(Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC Universal.)

Surrendering the chance to sell ads on Yahoo’s popular Web site won’t be a significant financial blow for Google, which already runs the Internet’s largest and most prosperous advertising network.

The Mountain View, Calif.-based company’s main incentive for entering the deal was to keep Yahoo out of Microsoft’s hands. Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin also wanted to help Yahoo founders Jerry Yang and David Filo, who had encouraged them to turn their search engine into a business more than a decade ago.

But the capitulation marks a rare comedown for Google, which had been insisting for more than four months that the Internet would be a better place to do business if it were allowed to work with Yahoo.

“We’re of course disappointed that this deal won’t be moving ahead,” David Drummond, Google’s chief legal officer, wrote on a company blog. “But we’re not going to let the prospect of a lengthy legal battle distract us from our core mission. That would be like trying to drive down the road of innovation with the parking brake on.”

Yahoo said it wanted to fight the Justice Department in court, though it played down the impact Google’s retreat would have on its turnaround efforts.

“This deal was incremental to Yahoo’s product roadmap and does not change Yahoo’s commitment to innovation and growth in search,” Yahoo President Sue Decker told Yahoo employees in a Wednesday memo. “The fundamental building blocks of a stronger Yahoo ... were put in place independent of the agreement.”

Google’s management took a risk by agreeing to the Yahoo partnership in June, knowing the move would increase the government’s scrutiny of Google’s market power. Even though it is now walking away empty-handed, Google figures to remain in regulators’ sights as it tries to expand.

“For the first time, Google has run into real opposition to its marketplace goals,” said Jeff Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy, a consumer advocacy group. “Google is aware that its aggressive moves in the online advertising business are potentially contributing to damaging its brand. The perception of Google has changed.”

The collapse of the Google-Yahoo alliance could become a coup for Microsoft.

Apple iPod Touch is T3's gadget of the year

2008-11-06T04:01:00.000-08:00

Reuters announces Apple has swept the board at Britain's T3 technology magazine's annual awards, winning four top prizes, including gadget of the year for its iPod Touch.

The touch-screen music and video player beat the Asus Eee Pc budget laptop, TomTom's GO 920 car navigation system, Sony's HDR-TG3 compact camcorder and six other devices.

T3 Editor Michael Brook said Apple had "nailed the mix of style and usability" with its latest crop of gadgets.

"The iPod wasn't the first MP3 player, but it was, and is, by far the best," he said. "The iPhone clearly wasn't the first smartphone, but it was the first one that every man, his dog and his dog's ticks would sell limbs to own."

Apple won three other awards: best commuter gadget (iPhone); best music gadget (iPod Touch 32GB) and a prize given by the magazine's blog, Gadget Candy (MacBook Air).

The magazine's second annual awards ceremony was held in Park Lane, central London, on Thursday evening and was hosted by "Cold Feet" actor James Nesbitt.

Readers cast more than 54,000 votes to pick 11 of the prizes, including the gadget of the year award. The others were chosen by T3. Details are on their website, http://www.t3.com/.
