World’s first laptop, 25 years old and still running!

I was born in 1985 and I wouldn’t lay my hands on a PC until 10 years later. In that same 1985 though, the first mass market consumer laptop was released by Toshiba and it was called the T1100. Now you may think that it was a piece of crap and to today’s standards it most certainly is but it can still have a sense of humor:

Ah, you can’t read German? It asks to “be patient, because it isn’t that young anymore”. The specs on this beauty?

256KB of RAM and a 4.77 MHz Intel Processor made your computing dreams come to life and just like the Macbook Air of today it didn’t have a regular Hard Drive. Instead it supported floppy disks and weighed in at a whopping 4.1 Kilograms. Pricing was set at $1899,- not bad if you ask me, it could have made me the coolest newborn around the block.

Serious Sam 3 Releases this Summer WOW !!

It was a First Person Shooter wrapped around the game engine to showcase the eye candy, but Serious Sam turned out to be a damn fine back-to-the-basics old school shooter. Since then it has spawned four sequels (including the HD versions) and old school shooter fans have clamored for a Serious Sam 3. Croteam is indeed releasing Serious Sam 3: BFE sometime in the summer this year.

Serious Sam 3: BFE will be a prequel to the original game and is set in 22nd century Egypt as you make a final stand against Mental's minions. As an icing on the cake, it features a staggering 16 player co-op mode. So you and fifteen other friends can spam the trigger finger and pump the scenery and the contents therein with lead by the metric tonnes.

The game will also incorporate a range of melee attacks. Most importantly, the Sirian Werebull and the infernal Headless kamikaze return in the new installment. So expect the summer to be punctuated with those damned kamikaze screams long after you have stopped playing the game. Just like old times.

No one really knows what BFE in the title means, but speculations are rife with many theories; some of which makes sense like Before First Encounter to hilariously candid ones like Budget FPS Entry. Croteam also bundled some great screencaps along with the press release, and with characters models this decent the game seems to be destined for awesomeness. Let's hope the high polygon models aren't at the cost of smooth framrates and hordes of enemies.

At any rate, the Serious Sam 3 has already made a very good first impression with what has to be the most kickass press release ever. That's why we're going to break tradition and let you sample the whole press release right here.


TIME AND PLACE ARE SUBJECTIVE - BOOM! That was the sound of Serious Sam 3: BFE news dropping. Croteam s Serious Sam 3: BFE is a glorious throwback to the golden age of first-person shooters where men were men, cover was for amateurs and pulling the trigger made things go boom. Serving as a prequel to the original indie sensation, Serious Sam: The First Encounter, Serious Sam 3: BFE takes place during the Earth s final struggle against Mental's invading legions of beasts and mercenaries. Set against the collapsing temples of an ancient civilization and the crumbling cities of 22nd century Egypt, Serious Sam 3: BFE is an exhilarating fusion of classic twitch shooters and modern gameplay features.

"Serious Sam 3 is about pure fun and unfiltered action," said Davor Hunski, chief creative officer of developer Croteam."We wanted to expand on everything gamers love about the series while adding some genuinely unique new features to really enhance the mayhem Serious Sam is known for."

Trademark features such as relentless hordes of spectacular enemies and expansive outdoor battlefields return in Serious Sam 3: BFE at full force. Other features include:

Frantic Arcade-Style Action - The calling card of the Serious Sam series, hold down the trigger and lay waste to a never-ending onslaught of attackers or face being overrun by Mental s savage beasts. No cover systems, no camping - it s just you and them. All of them.

Mental's Fearsome Legions - A new battalion of unforgettable minions including the rumbling Scrapjack and towering Khnum join the legendary Headless Kamikaze, Gnaar and Sirian Werebull. Your days of mowing down zombie Nazi space pirates are over.

Serious Melee Attacks - When an enemy slips by your wall of lead and pain, use one of the all-new innovative melee moves to drop an enemy right where they stand in the most violent way possible.

Pure Multiplayer Mayhem - Play through the full campaign mode with up to 16 players or drop the gauntlet and let the heavy ordinance fly in versus modes like Deathmatch and Beast Hunt. This is the next level of Serious Sam multiplayer and all hell is about to break loose.

"Holy crap, I am going to make a boatload of cash of this game," said Fork Parker, chief financial officer at Devolver Digital, the Serious Sam 3: BFE publisher. I mean that's what this is all about, right? If this thing comes out in the summer my wife is totally getting the tit job she s been asking for.

Serious Sam 3 will bring the boom to PC and game consoles this summer.

When asked for further comment, Fork replied, "Bam. Tit job".

How to Remove and Hide Blogger NavBar (Top Navigation Bar)

When browsing Blogger powered weblogs hosted on blogspot.com domain or custom domain, there is always a NavBar (Navigation Bar or Banner) that appears on top of the blog. The Blogger NavBar contains Search Blog textbox, Flag Blog to notify Blogger about objectionable contents on the blog, Next Blog link to visit another blog randomly, plus links to create a blog or sign in to Blogger.

No many visitors nor bloggers themselves may find it useful though. It’s possible to hide and remove the NavBar with a little CSS hack. The trick will not interfere or mess up with the custom layouts that webmaster has designed, and pretty safe and easy to implement. In fact, if you’re publishing the Blogger blog to own custom domain with FTP or SFTP, it’s possible to turn off NavBar.

Facebook Expands @ Mention Tagging to Comments

Facebook users can now tag their friends, Pages, Groups, and Events in comments to news feed stories and wall posts to create linked mentions. This will help users carry on conversations with other commenters and allow them to easily reference different entities on Facebook.

In September 2009, users gained the ability to mention friends and other Facebook pages in their status updates and wall posts by typing an “@” symbol followed by the first letters of a name and then selecting from a drop-down menu.
Later Facebook began showing tag suggestions whenever a user capitalized a letter in an update or post, but later removed the feature since it interrupted users who weren’t actually trying to tag anything.
Now users can type an “@” symbol to initiate the tag drop-down menu in comments. Until this release, some users had taken to manually typing @[first name] without it properly linking in order to create unofficial mentions in comments.
When a user is tagged, they’ll receive an notification stating that a friend “mentioned you in a comment.”

The new comment mentions also create new opportunity for Pages. Admins can “Use Facebook as Page”

Downpour Is a BitTorrent Client Made for Media Centers

Mac/Linux: Most BitTorrent clients work just fine at grabbing and managing your downloads. Downpour is a highly customizable installation that works hand-in-hand with your chosen media center, automatically importing media and supporting your filing and renaming preferences.
It's not a click-and-go app, as the easiest installation requires having a Python implementation set up. But tinker with Downpour enough, and its specialist features will reward your investment. RSS monitoring, automatic unpacking and renaming schemes, a built-in media browser, and a clean, remote-access friendly interface, to start with. The planned features look pretty nice, too.
Downpour is a free download for any system that has Python and a command line up and running; that can include Windows through Cygwin, if you want the hassle. Hit the link to get installation instructions.
