Today is release day for the latest instalment in the Gears of War story. This one instead though of focusing on the hero we have grown up with namely Marcus Fenix, it focuses instead on the rather ‘lippy’ Damon Baird.
The story basically picks up immediately after Emergence Day and follows the happenings to Baird’s ‘Kilo’ Squad.

Sony has released Playstation 3 firmware version 4.40.
The firmware doesn’t come with any specific details, although it does seem to fix the stability problems with connecting online which seem to have been occurring over the last few days.
You can download the firmware via your PS3 using the system update option.
Today is only the first day back to work for the majority of the world after the Christmas break.
Even so, having been doing a little bit of light browsing on the net the rumour mill is already going mental with predictions of what Apple will be throwing out to us this year.
To save you the trouble of checking out all these rumours at such an early stage here is the summary.
Lets see how many of them turn true over the next 12 months.
1. iPad Mini with retina display (99% likely).
2. iPhone 5s (40% likely).
3. iPhone 6 (59% likely).
4. Coloured next gen iPhones (65% likely).
5. iOS7 (99% likely).
6. iPad 5 (99% likely).
7. Some AppleTV upgrade. Most likely a huge upgrade.
8. A6 processor. (99% likely. Also 99% likely that Samsung won’t be making it).
9. Different iPhone screen sizes. (10% likely).
Hopefully this little list will quench your thirst for rumours. I’m interested in watching how they develop.
If Santa has just brought you a nice new shiny SSD or you are running out of space on your HDD / SSD and are disgusted by how much space is actually used on backups of your iDevices you need this guide, it could save you gigs of space and is pretty easy to sort out!
The simple fact is we all need backups, but why not put them someone you want it to be instead of cluttering up vital space.
Apparently the new iTunes is ground breaking, designed from the base up, intuitive, streamlined and ready to rock your musical library!
It is now here, and ready for download, and has been for a couple of days. I have been using at it now since its release and I quite like it. However I really liked iTunes 10, I know people said it was bloat, useless junk, however it did what I needed it to do, and for that reason I liked it.
So how then does iTunes 11 cope or compare. Well in my opinion at this early stage it copes, but only just. There is no doubt it is nice to look at but in my short time playing around with it I have the following questions!
I have just purchased myself a Nike+ Fuel Band, with the thoughts that it will inspire me to get out and get fit.
I will therefore be posting my thoughts on it soon, I have only been rocking with it for a day and half so I will give it a bit of time, for me to use it and see the best ways to work with it, and will get back to you when I have had a good play with it.
The internet rumour mill is now rife with chatter that the ‘iPhone 5s’ is getting ready for release! The iPhone 5 is still like gold dust in many stores, so is it likely that an 5s will be in development and ready for testing so soon?
After the ‘new iPad’, and then the ‘iPad with Retina Display’ I think it is more than possible in fact I’d go as far as saying likely!
This extract pulled from the web pretty much says it all…
Every November now, we are teased and eventually treated with the latest Call of Duty episode.
And as a result of this everyone has their own feelings about its release, some will see it as the pinnacle shooter of our generation, and some will see it as the biggest pile of n00b infected glitch ridden trash ever to be released.
Although the latter is no doubt exceptionally unfair and more than likely the comments of someone who has found their favourite glitch has since been ironed out, or at their first attempt of 0wning the battlefield became subsequently Pwned!
Today is the day Apple bring out their small tablet onto the market, and I want one!
But do I?
This is the problem you see, I have a ‘New iPad’ which is also getting binned today for an ‘iPad with Retina Display’ (which mine has anyway) but hoo ha, can I justify an iPad mini.
Yes it would be nice to have, but with the Nexus 7 on the market, currently at £199 for a 32Gb model, and a Blackberry Playbook 64Gb sitting at £129 it is a big decision for what will ultimately be a pocket browser, but then surely my iPhone 5 handles that?
The market is flooded and tech heads like me are funding it!
Time to go and do some research, in Apples favour all my apps will work and it will just slide on nicely with everything else, in Nexus favour I want to give android a go and in Blackberry’s favour I could buy 2 and have 8 (EIGHT!!) times the amount of storage!
Researching…
I thought this may be useful to some:
I recently decided to have a look at Windows 8, and as I am now a Mac User I had an old copy of Windows that I could upgrade on a spare parts machine. I needed to install Windows on the MAc to be able to upgrade it, but to be honest I am still learning at OSX. I needed to burn an ISO of the windows disk to a DVD and I had no idea what I needed or how to do it. I know that on the PC I needed separate software, thankfully with the Mac it was much easier, in fact it is this easy…
1. Insert a blank disc.
2. Start Disk Utility.
3. From the File menu, choose Open Disk Image and select the ISO to be burned.
4. In the list of volumes, you will now see an item representing the ISO file. Select it.
4. Click the Burn button and follow the instructions.
Easy eh?!
