Date Has Been Set:

Sony just finished up the company’s E3 official announcement of Playstation 3. Sony has announced tat the PS3 will come in two different configurations, similar to the XBOX 360 approach and will be sporting a redesigned wireless Dual Shock pad with motion sensing functions…and it also has set the date for shipping & as expected, the company has confirmed that the console will ship early November 2006 in a simultaneous worldwide launch. Some information about the PS3 has already been announced — the device will feature a 60GB hard drive, Blu-ray and integrated networking capabilities. 

Two Versions:

Two versions of the PlayStation 3 will hit the market at launch, both in the black version of the console’s livery. The basic version & a more expensive version. But at present, however, it’s believed that this is the only substantial difference between the two versions.

Lower End Version:
HDD: 20GB hard drive
Cost: $499/499 Euro

High End Version:
HDD: 60GB hard drive
Cost: $599/599 Euro

Both models will ship November 17 in “Clear Black” in the US, six days after it has been launched in Japan. In Canada, the two models will ship for 549 CND and 649 CND on the same date, respectively. Sony anticipates shipping 2 million units at release.

All of the content demonstrated in the conference was in glorious 1080p, including games. Gran Tourismo, a prototype product, The Eye Of Judgement, was one of the first titles featured at 1080p. EA announced they will have 10 launch titles for PS3, though it isn’t clear which titles will feature 1080p. Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy 13 were two other memorable 1080p announcements.

Redesigned Controller:

Sony has ditched the “boomerang” controller originally seen with the PS3 at E3 last year in favour of sticking to the traditional lines of the Dual Shock 2 controller – but has made several key technical changes to the pad. The new controller for PS3 has been created by refining and improving the world’s most popular PlayStation controller which has shipped more than several hundred million units worldwide.

The new controller looks almost exactly like the existing PS2 controller with the addition of two trigger buttons under the L1 and R1 pads, but also features motion sensitivity. The internal motion sensitivity gives the controller “six degrees of freedom. The wireless controllers will allow for seven players at a time to use the same console also a mini-USB interface is also featured on the front of the controller, which is clearly visible in the official photo & it is suspected for recharging the batteries. But Sony has again stressed that this is not the final design and but analysts claim tat there will be very few changes before launch.

More Info:

The PS3 will come with several interoperability features. This also includes a function that will allow the “PSP” to link directly into the console. The conference call also alluded to some WiFi integration. Bluetooth will also be standard on the PS3. It will also have Giga-bit Ethernet and a pre-installed hard disk drive (HDD) as standard, this will able users to download a variety of contents as well as access on-line games and services over the network.

PS3 is also capable of playing back content from Blu-ray (BD) disc at a bit rate of multiplex 48Mbps with ease, the maximum bit rate defined in BD standards. PS3 supports a broad range of displays from conventional NTSC/PAL standard TVs to the latest full HD (1080i/1080p) flat panel displays, offering the joy of the most advanced computer entertainment contents to homes around the world.

If you start thinking that all of your data is secure in the system, it is not correct. A large number of risk factors are involved to make that data insecure, that’s why backup software has prime importance. If backup software fails to recover data then you can use data recovery software. These software are also used in call center industry, where majority of the business is being done over internet phone based on VOIP. The ipowerweb is providing solutions to the major VOIP companies. While virtual call centers are based on pbx, in which the customer calling to the toll free numbers reached the desired queue.

Yes, this is 98% true! These are 15 tips and tricks that are “hidden” in Windows XP and most if not all Windows XP users didn’t know about this (including me!) I really don’t know until I read this…

1. Disable Recycle Bin
You can delete files immediately, without having them move to the Recycle Bin first. Go to the Start menu, select Run… and type ‘ gpedit.msc’; then select User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Explorer and find the Do not move deleted files to the Recycle Bin setting. Set it. Poking around in gpedit will reveal a great many interface and system options, but take care — some may stop your computer behaving as you wish. (Professional Edition only).

2. Lock Workstation
You can lock your XP workstation with two clicks of the mouse. Create a new shortcut on your desktop using a right mouse click, and enter ‘rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation’ in the location field. Give the shortcut a name you like. That’s it — just double click on it and your computer will be locked. And if that’s not easy enough, Windows key + L will do the same.

3. Show Hidden Installed products in Add/Remove Programs
XP hides some system software you might want to remove, such as Windows Messenger, but you can tickle it and make it disgorge everything. Using Notepad or Edit, edit the text file /windows/inf/sysoc.inf, search for the word ‘hide’ and remove it. You can then go to the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel, select Add/Remove Windows Components and there will be your prey, exposed and vulnerable.

Starting all over again…

2nd of May 2006: A day I’ll remember for the rest of my life. BlogIsEverything.com was officially dead. My host then (Hive Hosting) had a hard disk failure, my files are gone-they didn’t managed to restore the backup. I really feel sorry for myself, I didn’t backup my database-that’s like the of BlogIsEverything.com. After this incident, I’ve learnt a priceless lesson, NEVER EVER get a cheap/unknown hosting! So, after a detailed review, I’ve now switch to An Hosting (A part of midPhase). They are far better that my previous host.

Now, I’m going to rebuild BlogIsEverything.com, will be followed by The Freeware Blog and Recipes House, my other two blogs.

So, keep your eyes open, the new BlogIsEverything.com will be a better one, I promise!
