Virgin Media To Boost Their Internet Speeds Again!

January 11th, 2012 EripmaV

Blimey, I can remember downloading ISOs of Linux releases on a 56k modem; only for them to take three or more days of constantly redialing, disconnecting, redialing and so on.  Friends, family and everyone else simply couldn’t get through to the housephone because it was constantly tied up!  Well, gone are those days and we’re on the horizon of another speed increase, if you’re with Virgin Media at least!

 

“Today’s news that Virgin Media is to double most of its customers speeds, and increase its fastest product from 100 Meg (Mega bits per second) to 120 Meg reflects a history of the company progressively increasing speeds.

September 8th, 2011 Lord Lethris

In a possible attempt to spur Windows 7 adoption Microsoft confirmed today that Windows 8 will carry similar or even lower hardware requirements to those of Windows 7. Meaning unlike the leap from XP to say Vista any computer currently running Windows 7 will be upgradable to Windows 8 when the next version of Windows is released.

Speaking at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, Steve Ballmer revealed that Windows 7 has officially sold 400 million licenses to-date. Despite those numbers Windows XP still holds nearly twice the market share worldwide.

September 7th, 2011 Lord Lethris

Its not often that I share spam with everyone.  But today I got another one of them e-mails that contained a very interesting little bit of spam advertizing.

Like all the “G” titles, Monster Hunter 3G is an expanded version of its predecessor, in this case Wii‘s Monster Hunter 3. The 3G version will include a few changes to the world of the Wii version, but will live up to the G name of being packed with content.

ToyToyota’s Backseat Driver App Lets Kids Drive With Their Dad

September 7th, 2011 Lord Lethris

There’s nothing more difficult than trying to keep your kids entertained in the car, especially when you’re driving with them on your own. So Toyota has developed an iPhone app under a new “ToyToyota” brand called Backseat Driver ( iTunes) that allows kids to join in the driving experience in real-time using some clever GPS technology.

As you can see in this video, the app allows the user to drive along in real-time and collect points by picking up objects along the way. These objects can relate to real world landmarks that the car drives past, and points are collected to allow the player to upgrade their virtual car.

Is This Nintendo’s 3DS Joystick Add-on?

September 7th, 2011 Lord Lethris

Reports from the Japanese end of the internet are claiming that Famitsu magazine has the scoop on that Nintendo 3DS analog add-on we heard about last month. A page from the magazine (above) shows a rather meaty cradle hugging the sides of the stereoscopic clamshell, reportedly adding an R2 button in addition to a starboard circle pad. The plump peripheral may have been designed specifically for Monster Hunter Tri G, an unannounced (and unconfirmed) game that was leaked in the same issue. Famitsu made no mention of the reported hardware refresh that accompanied the last analog add-on rumor — and price, release date, and official confirmation from Nintendo area still AWOL, of course.
