the XP CD to c:\easyboot\disk1.copy the i386 folder to
c:\easyboot\disk1\XPPR.copy wxp.bat from
c:\easyboot\resource to c:\easyboot\disk1\XPPR and run
it.Copy w2ksect.bin from c:\easyboot\disk1\ ezboot to a
new named xppr.bin.

Start Easyboot,select Tools >Replace Text, browse
to c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot\xppr.bin, and specify i386
as Text to Replace,XPPR as Replace to,and click
Replace;one occurrence should be replaced.Repeat this

Google Adsense--So Can I Keep Making Money?

2008-04-30T22:14:00.000-07:00

Simply put, yes! You can keep making money as long as people
are clicking the ads on your page. The site Freeweblayouts.net
that gives people MySpace templates makes more than
$100,000 a month via AdSense clicks (from a Washington Post
report)! So does that mean you can click on your own ads and
it’ll count?

Really now, is that even a question to ask? The obvious answer
is no. There are tons of people who are caught by the law for
click fraud. Essentially, these people, either themselves, or via
automated programs, simulate browser clicks on ads. Obviously,
for an advertiser, these clicks are useless as they don’t result in
conversions, and Google cracks down on the fraudulent parties.
Google themselves give a disclaimer that you can’t click on your
own ads. There’s a bunch of stuff that you can’t do, that if done
will lead to blacklisting. For example, you can’t mention any
incentives on your site for clicking on the ads. You can’t put
ads on sites with pornographic content either.
There have been a lot of controversies about Google and its
banning policies, with lots of sites being blacklisted from
AdSense for seemingly no reason whatsoever, and others
getting away scot-free.

Be careful or be banned

2008-03-28T10:04:00.000-07:00

Believed to be the mother of all Sims,Spore is going to allow
players to play god and make their own planet,with their own
creatures,and make them do whatever they want.The game is
considered the most ambitious project of Will Wright,the
designerof the hugely popular Sims series.

Spore will have a world made by the players,who has to also make
the creatures that live in it.The game itself will have five different
phases,similar to the evolution of life on earth.The game will start
with a 2D adventure with microbes floating in a pool of organic ooze
that will develop into a land-walking creature. The player has to
decide their path of evolution from a single cell to Organisms,tribes,
and civilizations and then lead them to travel through space,to other
worlds and spread their species throughout the universe.Spore will
be a single player game but will utilize the player's Internet conn-
ection to further populate the universe with worlds made by other
players around the world. Thus calling itself a Massively Single
player game.

GTA IV review with some.....

2008-02-09T09:26:00.000-08:00

Probably the mother and dad of all popular free roam genre,
Grand Theft auto has been one of the most controversial,But
ionic and genre-defining games of gaming history.There have
been games and then there have been outstanding games,but
Rockstar has always given special treatment to GTA.
The latest version promises a lot of changes with the first trailer
just saying "Things will be different".The story follows the life of
one,Niko,in Liberty City,Rockstar's version of New York.But this
time arond the story is not one of 'Rags to Riches' but 'from Rags
to slightly better Rags'

Grand Theft Auto 4's engine has received a whole lot of updates.
The graphics have been upped by a huge factor and the unique
gameplay elements have furthered the non-linear free roam mode
of the title in a much bigger way.
GTA4 is one title we'll be keeping a tight eye on.Its release was
due last year in october,however we haven't even seen any preview
builds already,in India.

Farcry 2 Review

2008-01-24T09:10:00.001-08:00

Ubisoft is handling the sequel to the hit Far Cry games,now that Crytek
sold the rights to the French studio.This time,the game will not feature
any supernatural or sci-fi elements,and will further veer from the first
part by offering not one, but 12 different mercenaries to play as.Set in
Africa,the game will be entirely open-ended and non-linear.After you
choose from one of the 12 mercenaries,the remaining will be encount-
ered in the game as friends.The game will feature terrain ranging from
savanna to jungle and the weather will depend upon how well you do
in the game:sunny skies when everything is going well for you will give
way to thunder and lightning when you are in trouble.Various factions
and vehicles will be featured,and the gameplay area will be around 50
square km.
Will it be a far cry from its sequel?Ha ha,punny...

Seitz 6x17 Digital camera

2008-01-14T09:24:00.000-08:00

IF your are a real photography enthusiast then its really a
big and excellent deal.But my point of view on this I say just some
great word (oh god can i really buy this type of gadget)

seitz has outdone everything in its class with its mind-
numbing 160-megapixel 6x17 digital camera. (Sorry, we got that
wrong: there’s nothing else in its class!) You got that right—one
hundred and sixty MP. Couple that with 48-bit colour depth, and
you get images of definitions we can’t speak about. At the
maximum resolution, an image is 900 MB, and you can’t use
Flash to store several such—so the 6x17 uses a Mac Mini as
its storage device. You can control the camera remotely using a PDA.
Go ahead, prove you’re a real photography enthusiast: sell your
house and buy the 6x17 for

mobile version "compact": 46'300 CHF (29'270 €)
mobile version "premium": 47'100 CHF (29'770 €)
mobile version "magnum": 48'900 CHF (31'150 €)
studio version: 42'300 CHF (26'940 €)

LinuX-Gamers EDITION

2008-01-04T09:17:00.000-08:00

The Linux Live Game Project is a compilation of games for Linux,
and requires no previousknowledge on how to set up Linux and
all its applications. It’s a Live DVD that’s based on Arch Linux, so
there is no need to create space and partition drives, either Depe-
nding on your hardware, you’d be well warned that some of your
drivers may not be open source. We ran our tests on an NVIDIA-
based motherboard. This can be a little irritating to see every
time you boot up: you need to agree to continue, and once you
do, the drivers are loaded and the GUI boots up. There’s not
much to see here other than a thick bar with a list of games there.
Now the games on this distribution aren’t your typical low-end-
card games you find on your Windows and Linux Desktops. These
are full-fledged 3D games, including FPSes like Warsow, Tremulous,
and World of Padman. Sauerbraten is another pretty good-looking
game that makes use of some fancy-looking shaders.

It’s not all FPS mayhem either—games like Foobilliards (a pool
game) and Blobby 2 (a 2D ball game) will appeal to casual gamers.
Real-time Strategy (RTS) and Role-playing Game (RPG) fans can
always try out Warzone 2100 and The Battle for Wesnoth. For
those with a need for speed there’s TORCS (The Open Racing Car
Simulator)—a fairly decent-looking car racing game, and gl-117—a
rather bad-looking flight simulator.

The performance of the games on our old test machine—an AMD
64 3800+ with 1 GB of RAM and the onboard NVIDIA 6150
graphics—was more or less satisfactory. What is irritating is
the amount of time games take to load off the DVD. You can save
your settings on a USB drive if you wish.
Unfortunately, other than playing games,there’s nothing much you
can do with this distribution. If that’s all you want, then Linux Live
Game Project has a decent collection of games where you can spend
a lot of free time.

Machines have taken over the planet,computers became self aware
and are trying to destroy humanity.Just as you suspected,your
PC was the evil one,and the brain of the Al revolt is just sitting
there on your table...mocking you.Its good thing you are a
USGADGET subscriber and had read this article.You now hold
the key to mankind's survival,the self-destruct button,and

(forgetting that it lifts up easily),slam down on that big red button
and all the hell breaks loose. There are alarms going off every-
where (if you don't hear these,you forgot to switch your
speakers on),there's whirring and creaking as the AI in your PC
dies a slow painful death. The entire office is filled with the
cacophony of human victory over machines,everyone looks
at you incredulously,eyes filled with admiration and envy-our
hero!Then out from behind a wooden portal comes the
terminator,seething with anger he hands you a pink slip and
kicks your behind all the way out of the front door...there's
just no justicein the world,is there?
For those who didn't get it,the Self-Destruct Button does
absolutely nothing to your PC,but willmake it sound like
you just averted Armageddon (or caused it,depending on
what gets your goat).Using it when your boss is around will
get your goat).Using it when your boss is around will get
you fired,period.

uration and opt for AMD instead. A special HP Blackbird Dedicated
Edition will be released soon, which will add on a Voodoo keyboard
and mouse and the Half Life 2 Orange Box. What’s subtracted is
the overclocking on the QX6850 and a mere 2 GB of RAM instead
of 4. The price for the Dedicated Edition is $5,500.

Browsing through social news sites can be so boring when you do it
every day. Fret not—the grand-daddy of all social news site
aggregators is here: PopURLs, the place to go to if you want your
news content aggregated in one place. The site shows you content
from the most popularly subscribed RSS feeds on the Web—from
Digg to Del.icio.us to Google News. You can play around with the
customisation options, like changing the background colour and
layout of the displayed feeds. You can choose to turn off video
and image feeds from sites like Youtube and Flickr. The Story
Preview feature can be a irritating; thankfully, it can be switched
off. Another smart little feature, aptly named “buzzmania,”
increases the content on the page by showing you double the
number of feeds on the front page. You can visit the WAP ver-
sion of the site at http://popurls.mobi. Hooked to your RSS
reader and want a place where you can get everything at a
glance? This is where you should head to.

TagTag.com(web 2.0 site)

Ever tried building a WAP site for yourself? The best place to make
those swanky little sites that load off mobile phones, of the type
you’ve always wanted to make, is at TagTag.com. A name synony-
mous with WAP sites, TagTag.com is the one-stop shop for all your
WAP-site-building needs.An online, Java-based WAP site builder
can be accessed from the site. Once you’ve created an account, you
can browse through the 20,000-odd members’ WAP sites hosted at
TagTag.com. You can visit your new WAP site at http://tagtag.com/
[username]. It is then tagged under a specific section such as
“games” or“personal pages”—you get to choose from 21 other cate-
gories. The WAP site maker has a simple graphical interface, like
the type you see when composing ane-mail: it lets you change the
background image and colours on the site. You can add hyperlinks
and images, and make an unlimited number of pages, too. There’s no
need to learn to code in WAP,WML, or XHTML. Each WAP site is
allotted 1 MB of Webspace, which should allow you to host approxi-
mately 30 full ringtones, for instance. TagTag.com offers a free WAP
emulation browser called TTemulator, which can be used from a PC
to access WAP sites. This application can be added to pages of other
Web sites too.

SimpleSpark.com
A web 2.0 site
If you are clued into the Web 2.0 phenomenon, you’ve noticed the
sudden explosion of online applications that can be accessed any-
where and everywhere Into this chaos enters SimpleSpark.com,
a site that catalogues all the fast-emerging Web 2.0 applications.
The categories on the site range from “calendar” apps to the
quirky “loans” applications that you can use to keep track of your
financial commitments. Searching for “write”, for instance, on
SimpleSpark.com, brings up a list of all online word processing
applications—from the popular Zoho Writer (http://writer.zoho.com)
to Writeboard(www.writeboard.com). We even found Just Anger
(www.jus-tanger.com), a site that lets you vent when you’re angry
and in distress! Every Web application listed in the search results
has a little description below it. This lets you quickly find the app
that best suits your need, without your needing to bother to visit
the Website and use its services.
Once you make an account, you can add applications you come
across to the existing catalogue, and these will show up in the
listings once they’ve been approved by the site administrators.
The site allows users to add more details to reviews of apps, too,
so you can add screenshots and give more detailed descriptions
of the apps listed there. Having said that, the short descriptions
are illustrative enough to tell you enough about the site you’ve
found.

Alienware Hangar 18

Alienware never disappoints, as a general rule. The Hangar 18
departs from the super-gaming-machine scene.It is, in short, a
home theatre system running some pretty mighty hardware. It
runs on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor and can have up to 4 GB
of RAM. Vista is the primary operating system. There are two
digital TV-Tuners and two analogue ones, using which you can
record videos of up to 1080p resolutions. The 2 TB of storage
space should arguably be more than enough for your HD video,
photos, and music, and the 1000 W amplifier will inarguably
satisfy those with a taste for really loud music. Starting
price: $1,999
