NINTENDO NES ONLINE AND KICKING

http://www.nintendo8.com/toplist/


Nintendo, the console that brought back fun childhood memories! In my opinion, it is the success of the NES that has contributed to the modern consoles, such as PS3 and XBOX 360, that we have today.


A buddy of mine found this website, which features some of the cool Nintendo games of yesteryears. The best part is you don’t have to download or install to play these games.


WARNING:

It has been almost a decade or two since you played these games so be sure to do adequate stretching exercise before trying it out. Attempt at your own risk


Now you can challenge today's game junkies to see who is the best! Have fun!

LG PRADA II - Another competitor comes into play




If you are excited as I am about the Xperia then you are probably fade up with the waiting as I am too, so much so you would even consider other phones with similar functions, right?
Ok in my recent comparison with HTC I concluded that X1 is worth waiting for simply because it has a 3.5 mm headphone jack (OEM USB or proprietary jack headphone simply wont cut it anymore for me).

So enter PRADA 2, the second Prada phone from LG. Info on the specification of the phone is that it is slightly smaller and slimmer than SE X1 (Sexi? What an interesting abbreviation). What is interesting about PRADA II is that it features a full QWERTY keyboard, an accelerometer and it is expected to be on the market. That’s it! If this phone has a 3.5mm jack I am to get it period.

Besides, I think being a fashionable nerd is better than being a SEXI nerd (ugly betty sexy? Please spare me)

Stupid Windows Vista Update

Yesterday my Dell Laptop automatically updated its Windows Vista by downloading and installing a patch file KBXXXX dated 17 October 2008. Things however did not work out like it supposed to be and the computer froze over. This is the first time my laptop actually failed to boot and I was really concerned. I don’t think there is a Dell representative here in Serbia and there is no other choice but to self diagnose the problem.

Ok if you come across the problem the way to overcome it is by unistalling the most recent update from windows.

First restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key repeatedly until you reached a dark screen with a bunch of of instructions on it. Select Safe Mode and let the computer load for a few minutes, you should have an odd looking windows desktop in front of you. Click the Start windows logo and select control panel. Go to Programs and on the left panel select View Installed Updates. Now look at the bottom of the left panel you should see See Also Windows Update and click it. Now from the list choose the latest updates installed from Windows and select uninstall . Once completed select Restart Now. Your computer should restart properly.

Good luck and hopes it works

Best Movie of the Century


After the Lord of the Rings Trilogy were completed and hailed as the best movie ever, I could not imagine the day would come and change it all. Based on a survey on IMDB, Dark Knight is now officially the best movie of the century, after only being released for a week, knocking all time favourites The Godfather from the top spot.

I watched the Dark Knight today and it awed and rendered me speechless. Only after the lights came on had I realized that there will never again be a Joker so terrifying as this one, acted and personified by the late Heath Ledger.

My hat's off to you, Heath, you will be surely missed.

Video Wallpaper For Windows Desktop


Either you hate it or love it; Windows Vista is here to stay. Chances are you might have already have Vista Basic already preinstalled onto your new PC, too bad! You can read more about the features of Vista Basic, Premium and Ultimate here.

One features of Vista Ultimate that would be of interest to all windows users is “Dreamscene”. The feature allows users to replace static wallpaper with videos. As this feature is only available for Basic and Premium, users of the two versions would have to upgrade to Vista Ultimate in order to use “Dreamscene” on their machine.

However, there are two ways around this problem and you can read all about it at these links listed below:

1. Create Video Wallpaper with VLC Player

2. Create Video Wallpaper with Microsoft Front Page

Pulau Batu Putih is our's no more

Since the ICJ delivered its verdict last Friday, everyone I know is talking about it.

Thanks to Qirzah, you can read the verdict and the reactions from the two countries involved in his blog here. By far the best picture of the rock islands could be found on this link.
