Windows 7 Is Here!!!

January 31, 2008 — 3dwallpaperart

Windows 7 Is Here And You Can Get It Now.

Just Kidding

There have been lots or rumors going around about Microsoft’s new operating system. Speculation is running wild on the net – as always. Its pretty obvious that Version 7 is designed to fix most of the problems of Vista – Microsoft does this all of the time – remember Windows Millennium? Well, then again, you probably might not want to remember that

New rumors are running around saying that Microsoft will be releasing an early version of Windows 7 before their scheduled 2009 release. I don’t think that’s going to happen, lets not forget, they have allot riding on this, and customers are expecting better results (and stability) than Vista.

Apparently, I’m not the only one with this opinion. Here’s an article from ZDNet’s Ed Bott about the rumors that are floating around Microsoft’s “new pet project”

This is really cool – Bionic Vision Contact Lenses

January 29, 2008 — 3dwallpaperart

Imagine if you could have bionic eyes that gave you a display overlaid over your vision. You could see information about things that you were looking at, just like the Terminator. It sure would make life more interesting, wouldn’t it? Too bad it’s all a fantasy.

Or is it? Researchers have developed bionic contact lenses that contain tiny electric circuits and LEDs that would allow for just such a display to be possible. You could have a personal heads-up display giving you info at all times, or video game makers could create totally immersive worlds that you view right through your own eyes. The lenses are currently still being worked on, so don’t expect to see them anytime soon, but the technology is there. It’s only a matter of time.

How Cool Is That?!

Grand Theft Auto 4 – I can’t wait !!!

January 29, 2008 — 3dwallpaperart

Rockstar Games has said the latest in its Grand Theft Auto franchise will be released worldwide on April 29th, following last year’s high profile delay of the franchise to concentrate on its multi-platform release.

Overarching publisher Take-Two announced the delay in August of last year, two months before its originally planned release date, with chairman Strauss Zelnick pegging the delay on its multi-platform release, saying, “Certain elements of development proved to be more time-intensive than expected, especially given the commitment for a simultaneous release on two very different platforms.”

At the time, Take-Two said the game would be released in its second fiscal quarter of 2008, placing the game’s release sometime between February and April – with the new release date coming in directly at the tail end. The title will be released simultaneously for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Said Rockstar founder and executive producer Sam Houser, “We are so excited to be releasing Grand Theft Auto IV. We’ve pushed ourselves very hard to make something incredible and hope the game sets a new benchmark for interactive entertainment.”

How World of Warcraft Works???

January 29, 2008 — 3dwallpaperart

I can’t believe that someone actually wrote an article about how World of Warcraft works. It just sounds crazy – but then again, anything is possible these days.

If games like World of Warcraft and Everquest can actually breakup relationships, then someone writing an article about how World of Warcraft works should be nothing by comparison.

YAHOO! Laying Off Workers???

January 24, 2008 — 3dwallpaperart

Apparently yahoo is not making money. They are reportedly suffering from slow income growth – and it seems that they are being beaten down by social networking websites. I personally believe that Google is kicking their butt and they are “felling the pain”.

Google reminds me of Pac-Man – just gobble everything up.

The Race is On. Nintendo Still in the Lead.

January 24, 2008 — 3dwallpaperart

The year 2007 belonged to Nintendo.

With a wide assortment of games at the cheapest price, what more could you ask for – and don’t forget, the WiiFit is still on the way.

So the console race now has Nintendo as the leader for 2007 – but the console race is not over.

Will they still be in the lead by the end of 2008 – or will there be a major upset?

Confused about SmartPhones?

January 24, 2008 — 3dwallpaperart

Are you as confused about smart phone operating systems as I am?

So, what do we have to choose from?

1. BlackBerry OS 4.3
2. Palm OS 5.4
3. Symbian Series 60 3rd Edition
4. Windows Mobile 6.0

Each one comes with its pros and cons and for me, an operating system is the deciding factor with regards to my favorite smartphone of choice. I am personally a Windows Mobile person – but that’s just my choice…oh, and I’m literally surrounded by Windows based PCs.

Well, I’ve found an article that may help clarify things for you.

“Swift 3D – version 5″ is here!

January 23, 2008 — 3dwallpaperart

Quote – “Swift 3D continues to be the premier 3D tool for rich media designers. It’s the only 3D software to directly integrate with Adobe Flash® through the Swift 3D File Importer and SmartLayer Technology, and produces unrivaled vector rendering quality and output style options. Swift 3D’s toolset and interface allow anyone to quickly create 3D content, while providing a full set of advanced tools to grow into. And with new Papervision3D export, Swift 3D introduces a whole new realm of true 3D possibilities in Flash. Swift 3D is a powerful, easy-to-use 3D solution that delivers high-quality results for an unbeatable price.”

O.K. Enough P.R. Time for an honest opinion. I’ve been using Swift 3D for a while and I find it to be an interesting program – and it does indeed work well with Flash.

If you’re new to Swift 3D or you just want to find out about its new features, click here.

One Laptop Per Child?

January 23, 2008 — 3dwallpaperart

Remember the “One Laptop Per Child Project”. The theory was simple. Make sure that every child in the world had access to a computer. In a Utopian society, something like this would be no problem, but in our so-called real world, politics and pride take precedent.

The “One Laptop Per Child Project” is quickly going down the proverbial toilet – and it may not survive the current upheavals that are plaguing it.

Why Bother With Windows Vista?

January 23, 2008 — 3dwallpaperart

Quote – “If Windows 7 really is scheduled to make an appearance during the second half of 2009, does this mean that making the move to Vista is now a pointless effort?”

Well … Duh!

I’ve been saying that Windows Vista was crap since the first day that I got my hands on it. My laptop came with Vista. I took it off and replaced it with XP.

I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only person that did that.

I found out – since last year – that another version of Windows was on the way – and now its confirmed. This pattern should seem familiar – remember Windows Millennium?

Words that Inspire

January 23, 2008 — 3dwallpaperart

True brilliance, is not a function of understanding one’s view of the world and finding order, logic, and spirituality in it. True brilliance is understanding that your view of order, logic, and spirituality is what created your world – and therefore being forever capable of changing everything.
