Starcraft IIStarCraft II is military science fiction real-time strategy video games currently under development by Blizzard Entertainment as a sequel to the award-winning 1998 video game StarCraft. The three-way intergalactic war between the humans and the Zerg (insects whose entire technology is organic, from their cities to their flying transports) and the Protoss (a race so highly-advanced and civilized they make the humans look like the Zerg). According to its creators, StarCraft II is designed to be the "ultimate competitive real-time strategy game,” building on the successes enjoyed by its predecessor, StarCraft. It features the return of the three races from the original game—Protoss, Terran, and Zerg; Blizzard states these are the only playable races in the game. StarCraft II is also designed to focus more heavily on the multiplayer aspect, when compared to the original StarCraft. The changes include overall improvement in Battle.net, a new competitive "ladder" system for ranked games and new matchmaking mechanics designed to “match-up” players of equal skill levels. In addition, the replay function, which allows players to record and review past games, is being improved. Blizzard has also stated they have made some changes to the games that were suggested by fans. The single-player aspect of StarCraft II has also been altered substantially from the original game. StarCraft II features approximately the same number of units as the original game. Some units from the original game are returning, some featuring new upgrades and abilities. Units in Starcraft II have new abilities, compared to the original, that encourage more complex interaction with the game environment. Among these are the inclusions of units that can traverse varying levels of terrain, or have the ability to teleport short distances. Some Protoss units can be warped in to pylon-powered areas using a new building, the Warp Gate. StarCraft II is being developed for concurrent release on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Mac OS X. According to Blizzard Entertainment, predicts the game will be released at the end of 2009, although a specific release date has not yet been given. The release date is subject to change based upon the game meeting the company’s quality standards.

Exercise, JoggingDragging yourself to exercise is more difficult if you know you look stupid trudging the treadmill with your tongue hanging out. But hey, do you know that the benefits of exercise are far-reaching? Clinical and epidemiological studies have demonstrated that regular aerobic exercise reduces the risk of death due to heart disease and stroke, aids in reducing weight, helps prevent diabetes mellitus, strengthens bones, and enhances immune function. The psychological benefits are also broad, and most studies suggest a positive relationship between physical fitness and mental achievement. If overall fitness or prevention of heart disease is a primary goal, 20 to 30 minutes of moderate-intensity, daily aerobic exercise—such as walking, jogging, swimming, or dance aerobics should be considered. In general, begin with shorter exercise sessions and gradually work up to 20 to 30 minutes. In addition to reducing risk of heart disease, such an aerobic-exercise program will also help in weight reduction and altering body composition, and in enhancing flexibility. If improving muscle strength is the primary consideration, regular, high-intensity workouts with weights are more appropriate. Studies have shown that even older people can benefit greatly from a weight-lifting workout. In particular, bone density, often a concern in the elderly, is increased, muscle atrophy (decrease) is prevented, and general strength and coordination are improved by this type of exercise. A structured, supervised weight program after consultation with a physician is recommended. Stretching exercises, including yoga, will enhance flexibility. In planning an exercise program, be sure to include stretching exercises and warm-up and cool down periods to prevent muscle pulls and other injuries.

District 9 MovieAnother upcoming science-fiction movie this year, called District 9. District 9 movie is directed by Neill Blomkamp and produced by Peter Jackson. The film is starring Jason Cope, Robert Hobbs and Sharlto Copley. The story of District 9 is set in a world in which aliens have landed on earth 28 years ago. Those aliens are like refugees, contained in a huge camp called District 9. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa’s District 9 as the world’s nations argued over what to do with them. Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens' welfare - they will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens' awesome weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA. The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable - he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9. It is scheduled for a release on August 14, 2009.

Introducing Google Chrome OS

Introducing Google Chrome OSThe new operating system, named Google Chrome OS, will be an open-source operating system initially geared toward netbooks. Google claims the new operating system, which should ship on netbooks starting in the second half of next year, will be "lightweight" and heavily Web-centric. With Google Chrome OS, Google plans to follow the same formula it used with its browser: Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. In designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds. The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web. Google Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips and we are working with multiple OEMs to bring a number of netbooks to market next year. The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel. For application developers, the web is the platform. All web-based applications will automatically work and new applications can be written using your favorite web technologies. And of course, these apps will run not only on Google Chrome OS, but on any standards-based browser on Windows, Mac and Linux thereby giving developers the largest user base of any platform. While Chrome OS goes beyond being a mere Web browser, Google's vision of the future is as clear with Chrome OS as it was with the introduction of the Chrome browser. The Web is the OS of the future, and a modern OS needs to be built around the Web first. By 2010, we will be using a Linux kernel based OS that we can utilize on our netbooks for free. And any time the users have a better computing experience, which are more likely who spend more time on the Internet.
