Heres a small video I did using ‘Mezame’ by Yuki Kajiura but as my router is bein such a **** I cant actually upload the HQ vers of it so this one will have to do for now enjoy!!

I made a video using video clips of Final Fantasy X and a remixed version of Scarborough Fair by using garageband on the iMac. I hope you like it

Gamespot reported earlier this morning that Sega has a new Sonic the Hedgehog game in the works. While the news isn’t entirely exciting due to recent titles released over the last few years, the fact that Sega plans to return the franchise to its 2D roots may actually bring the sparkle back into the hedgehog’s fancy footsteps.

Super-fast and ultra-small computers have been brought one step closer to reality with the successful test of a new penny-sized chip.

The optical quantum chip does away with traditional circuitry and instead uses particles of “whizzing” light.

Scientists asked the “photonic” chip to find the prime factors of 15 and, although it took longer to work it out than a schoolchild could have, it produced the answer – 3 x 5.

The test is a massive breakthrough because it is the first time the chip’s processing power has been condensed into such a small size.

Normally to store the same amount of processing power it would need a pack the size of a work bench sitting beside it.

The chip could eventually pave the way for “super-powerful quantum computers”.

Cherry Lewis, spokeswoman for the team at Bristol University, explained why we need this technology.

“We are almost getting to the point now where conventional computers cannot go any smaller so we need to go down a completely new route.

“We are talking nano-scale. Particles of light.”

Quantum technology aims to exploit the unique properties of quantum mechanics – the physics theory that explains how the world works at microscopic levels.

The main advantage is that unlike transistors in a traditional computer quantum particles can be in two states at the same time.

Also, photons are relatively noise-free and can transmit information at the speed of light.

In the near future the technology could eventually be applied to making internet connections secure, and to developing new materials and medicines.

PhD student Alberto Politi, who performed the experiment with colleague Jonathan Matthews, said: “Finding prime factors may seem like a mathematical abstraction, but the task lies at the heart of modern encryption schemes, including those used for secure internet communication.”

The results have been published in the magazine Science.

Bioshock

BioShock is a revolution in the shooter genre that will forever change the expectations for the FPS. Going beyond “run and gun corridors,” “monster-closet AIs” and static worlds, BioShock creates a living, unique and unpredictable FPS experience. BioShock is the Shooter 2.0.

After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn.

The new console will come standard with the recently announced firmware 3.0. A vertical stand will be made available for purchase to make the system vertical, and it will also house a Bravia Sync feature, allowing users to control the PS3 with their Bravia TV remote.

The final change is the removal of the Install Other OS feature, meaning no LINUX installs on the smaller unit. The release states that “The new PS3 system will focus on delivering games and other entertainment content, and users will not be able to install other Operating Systems to the new PS3 system.”
