Windows 7 Service Pack 1



Windows 7 (all versions starter-ultimate, 32bit and 64bit) Service Pack 1 is out on windows update. If you have Windows 7 run windows update and download and install it. I have already installed it on all my computers and it works fine. If it says "failed" just reboot and run windows update again.
Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is a cumulative update that contains a long list of updates, new features and security/stability patches all in one update.

ASUS Eee PC 1015PN-PU17


I just recently put an order in for a new netbook, not that anything is wrong with the one I have (its fast and has windows 7 pro) but the ASUS Eee 1015PN series has a dual core atom processor(unlike my current single core atom) so it can run windows 7 or Vista 64bit editions. The netbook comes with 1GB of DDR3 RAM so I went ahead and bought a 2GB stick of DDR3 SODIMM from crucial.com which was only $25 dollars and both the crucial.com ram and the laptop had free shipping.

But the main reason I bought the netbook is because it has an nvidia ION 2 graphics chip although not top-end by any means but for a netbook it is. It also has nvidia optimus technology. They claim you can play WoW even though I do not play that game. It does have decent but not top end graphics. For a netbook however this is break through.

Product Highlights

  • 1.5GHz Intel Atom N550
  • 1GB RAM
  • 250GB 5400rpm Hard Drive
  • nVIDIA ION 2 Graphics
  • 10.1" LED Backlit Widescreen Display
  • Integrated Camera and Microphone
  • Bluetooth 3.0+HS, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi
  • Windows 7 Starter (32-bit)
  • 6-Cell Battery (9.5 Hours)
  • 2.8 lb
I bought the netbook here for $359.95 after discount($20 dollar offer ends Feb. 28-2011): http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/736941-REG/ASUS_1015PN_PU17_RD_Eee_PC_1015PN_PU17_Seashell.html

Mirror's Edge 2 Canned !?!?!


This is a shame. I hope someone picks it up. Dare I say Mirror's Edge was one of my favorite games. Very unique platform first person melee and some weapon combat (mostly puzzle jumper) and you played as a hot asian chick and the graphics where stylized and very good.

Duke Nukem Forever PSP in limbo?


I recently came across an article that was about the PSP version of Duke Nukem 3D. Which will be a first person shooter with third person elements to it. I hope it comes out. PS: this is different than the PC version that is due out may 3rd 2011.
