acer ASPIRE 5745G (My New Laptop) - Review

2010-08-02T10:14:00.000-07:00

Hello dear readers,
I'm not getting you your responses. I know its a bit time taking thing to add a comment. But on the other side it will boost me to write more. So friends keep posting your responses.
So good news is that, I've got a new Laptop. Its acer ASPIRE 5745G. It took me a while to review the laptops available in the market. My budget was 45K Rs, so I had to look for the best deal. The configuration in my mind was :

Core i5 Processor,

4GB DDR3 Ram,

500 GB Hard Disk,

nVidia 1 GB Graphics Card,

15" LED screen.

I started with DELL. With all the desired configuration except nvidia, it was costing me 53K Rs. It had graphics card but of ATI. Which i didn't want. I looked in Sony Vaio, Compaq, HP. But all of them were costly & except Dell, all of them were poor in the case of Configuration. I had also looked in ACER. Got to know about this model, & then i started reading the reviews of the people about this laptop. Everywhere the review was so nice. Even i called up my last college room mate & asked him about his laptop. He had also bought some ACER laptop 1+ years before. He said his lappy is working very fine. So one fine day I decided & went to the Dotcom Shop in Spencer Plaza in chennai. Got this Babe. The time it got unpacked, i was like WooooOWOooo. It was shining like anything. Still it shines the same way. It has got nice Mettalic Body. The top has nice gloss.

The Configuration is:

Core i5 Cpu M430 @ 2.27Ghz

4GB DDR3 Ram

nVidia GT 330M Cuda GPU

1GB V Ram

500 GB Hard disc

15.6" HD LED

Windows 7 Home Premium

3.5+ Hours of battery Backup.

The most stunning feature in this laptop is that it has both "nVidia GT 330M" & "intel HD onboard graphics". That means, when you are working on battery, you can switch to intel graphics to save power. Isn't it cool ??
I think its awesome. I'm very happy that i did choose a right product. The Gaming graphics rating is 6.4/7.9 & the whole system rating is 5.8/7.9.
The games run like a charm, and yes I'm talking about the games like Modern Warfare 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Dirt2, Alien vs Predator etc.
So all I can say that, it is after all a nice deal in its price range,In fact the best. I'll upload the pics of my laptop tomorrow.

We move on

2010-07-23T21:19:00.000-07:00

The time came and those golden 4 years time slipped out of my hands. First it made me happy a lot since i was waiting for this day from a long time. The first thing to i always wanted to say Good Bye is those irritating people who always keep watching you what you doing and sometime even you'll get to hear that they are even planning to put a stone in way.Although there were so many friends also, whom i never wanted to say Good Bye. Later i realized that I'm not just missing my friends but several other things. May be I'm not ready for this sudden change. I feel mind take little more time to adapt in a new situation than our body.
No more night outs, No more night gaming, No more partying late nights, waking up late in the afternoon & after looking at the watch thinking "Shitt!!! Man, its 11:30, missed my college again". Thinking of all those moments make me feel so lively. I feel like it was just yesterday when i missed my college. Even if i go to college, most of the time i used to sleep on the last or second last bench with my other back bencher mates. Whenever we are awake in the class, we keep on cracking jokes or laughing or tease some one. Ohh man, wish i can roll back the time & go there & live it for one more day.
Now the college life is over and I'm not gonna get back to it. All i can do is, i can remember some of the great moments by looking onto those snaps. Its the time i should look forward, turn from a semi immature guy to a responsible one. Learn the way of living and start over everything again fresh with new people. I should see the beauty of this newly changed life and enjoy it. These things can not be achieved so quick.
We've to KEEP on MOVING..

Bluetooth 4.0!!

2010-04-22T02:18:00.000-07:00

With Bluetooth 3.0 barely out the door, the Bluetooth SIG finalized the next version - Bluetooth 4.0. It builds on the previous version, but adds a new low power mode, which can be used by watches, training equipment and so on.
Bluetooth 3.0 brought high-speed transfers by piggy-backing on 802.11 technology and achieved maximum speeds of 24Mbps (vs. 3Mbps for 2.0 + EDR). Version 4.0 on the other hand is low-bandwidth, but low power enough to work on cell-button powered devices.
Use cases include sending Caller ID info to watches, data from pedometers, glucose monitors and so on without drying out the battery.
However, Bluetooth 4.0 incorporates classic Bluetooth, high-speed Bluetooth and low-power Bluetooth. According to the Bluetooth SIG, devices are now not limited to 10 meter range - ranges can go up to 60 meters.
Bluetooth 3.0 is not very popular among mobile phones right now, except for support in the odd Samsung, most new phones stick to 2.0 or 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate (EDR).
The first Bluetooth 4.0 devices are expected to appear in late 2010 or early 2011. This could mean that mobile phones manufacturers will probably make the jump straight to Bluetooth 4.0 skipping ver. 3.0 altogether.

What is Love ?

2010-04-11T10:07:00.000-07:00

Today i met a very old friend of mine. Very much deeply in love with someone. I asked him to share some thing with me about his love life..

He started as
" She is so special to me.. She has changed my life to such an extent that she even cant imagine. She is beautiful like angel, i love her so much.. If i get a chance i'd hug her & hold her to eternity..

Like everybody she has got friends to. One of them flirts heavily with her that i don't like. According to her its not a problem.. Some days before i read the chats between them & my heart started paining. After many days i was in a situation, when i wanted to shout, but not a single word came out of my mind. I don't know whom i'm angry upon, Her, friend, or both or me. It left me in a totally confused situation that is it the same girl for whom i've left everything. Or may be she's just new in friendship. Maybe other guys taking advantage of her. Still by listening to me u must have understood how much confused i am. That day even i cried after years. I felt so helpless & had fear of loosing her. I just pushed my head into my pillow & cried. I felt somewhat okay after that. After all somebody has told 'Tears wash your pain away', not totally but to some extent. 1 Thing is true i'm very much possessive, but i've given her freedom to have friends not matter boys or girls. But where & what's going wrong ?? may be tonight i'll talk to her & short out the things. "

After listen to all this, all i could say was "Just talk to her.. Everything will be fine. :) "

Merry Christmas

May all the sweet magic
Of Christmas conspire
To gladden your hearts
And fill every desire.

Merry Christmas to All the Readers :)

fRoD says "we are going to continue to improve"

2009-12-11T06:15:00.000-08:00

performance in recent matches & seems he's pretty much dissapointed by his performance in WCG.
He seem to be just sure of 1 thing ".

The IEM IV American finals are due to start today in Edmonton, Canada, the world famous AWPer has been interviewed by ESL & he addresses on several of the topics.

Asked if they are the favourites to win the IEM IV American Finals fRoD says:

"I would think so, I mean we are definitely in my opinion going to get top 3, but winning this is definitely our goal. We had a few good showings in the past international events and have made a lot of ground with Ediz despite him only being in the team for less than a month. We are practicing a lot and working on things and should definitely be improving a lot the more we play."

Answering what his team needs to do to reach their peak fRoD explained:

"I think we just need to keep practicing more and continue to keep positive. This December would begin our 11 months back into the official scene after being out for quite some time. People may not know how hard it is to make all the switches, but we have practiced really hard and simply wont give up until we can compete at a high level consistently. Something that no one can deny us is our dedication and passion, and thats something that we have and wanna prove to everyone. We just need to stay calm and focused and know that we are improving and things will come our way, and there is no need to force things. As long as we all stay motivated and dedicated we are going to continue to improve either individually or as a team, but we are certainly going to try to get better some way to help each other and the team out."

mTw lose whimp

2009-09-25T05:32:00.000-07:00

Svendsen became a part of mTw back in February 2008, when mTw brought him in to replace Brian 'hpx' Christensen. Just like Christensen, Svendsen does not have the time and will to practise hours and hours anymore. He thus decided to leave the professional gaming scene behind and focus on other things in his life.

Martin 'Trace' Heldt has been announced as the replacement for the now 21-year-old Svendsen. Heldt was a member of several Danish teams in the past, including Mirror, Spirit of Amiga and ATS.dk. Nevertheless, he has never played in a really strong team like mTw is and is to be seen if he can handle the pressure.

This leaves mTw with the following lineup:

Danny 'zonic' Sørensen

Christoffer 'Sunde' Sunde

Eid 'mJe' Muhamed

Alexander 'ave' Holdt

Martin 'Trace' Bang

Jonas 'whimp' Svendsen (Backup)

Complexity takes home CEVO title

2009-09-25T05:29:00.000-07:00

Variable results keep coming back from the United States, leaving the American Counter-Strike scene without a constant and clear number one team. After being destroyed by Evil Geniuses in ESEA, on de_nuke, with 16-3, just last week, coL was sent in the lower bracket of the CEVO Play-offs, by the same rivals. All that happened only to see Jason Lake's team make a spectacular comeback and claim the number one spot of CEVO's eleventh season.

The third round of the CEVO Play-offs saw complexity and EG clash in the upper bracket. EG assured a place in the grand final with a comfortable 16-10 on de_dust2. Complexity went on in the lower bracket against Loaded, pulling off a strong 16-3, only to face EG again in the finals bracket. The match against Loaded was just the tip of the iceberg as, when nobody expected, complexity pulled off a two maps win against lurppis's crew. The final numbers read 16-9 on de_train and 16-8 on de_inferno.

'Tonight, coL had a defining night of CS, taking out Loaded in the Lower Bracket Finals of the CEVO Season 11 playoffs. However, their shining moment was in the Grand Finals as they took on EG in a best of three series.', stated the official post on coL's webpage."

EG, coL, excello in CEVO-P

2009-09-18T23:01:00.000-07:00

The play-offs just kicked off yesterday, with the first round taking place on de_nuke. Team Loaded just broke even against Excello, with a score of 16:14, while Turmoil crushed right through Frag Dominant with 16:7.

The Playoffs kick-started on the 17th of September, with final results available on the 23rd of September. The format of the event is single-map, double-elimination, with a best-of-three Grand Championship Final. The map rotation consists of de_nuke, de_inferno, de_dust2, de_tuscan, and de_train. In the final, each team will select one map, and if needed a third different map will be selected by CEVO. As mentioned previously the total prize purse is $7,500, with first place taking home the big slice, $3750.00, second place $2625.00 and third $1125.00.

The list of participating teams is as follows:

complexity (dboorN, evolution, hero, Irukandji, Ninespot)
EG (fRoD, n0thing, warden, storm, lurppis)
Turmoil (gfn, thoMz, impulsive, benz0, perez)
Loaded (zid, nAZ_Lg, Lim, chE, iNERTiA)
Excello (savi0r, cJ_B, wrd, hazard, projeckt)
Frag Dominant (PaTyoJon, happa, sgares, willson, adrenaline)

Round two will continue on the 20th of September with complexity facing Turmoil and EG facing a much more approachable Loaded.

SteelSeries introduces Siberia v2

2009-09-18T22:47:00.000-07:00

The full press release:

CHICAGO, Sept. 18, 2009 - SteelSeries, the leading manufacturer of gaming peripherals and accessories, today introduced the new SteelSeries Siberia v2 Full-size Headset. As the successor to SteelSeries' signature Siberia Headset which launched in 2004, the new Siberia v2 offers gamers and music enthusiast's superior speaker and microphone technology that delivers impeccable sound quality, integrated control capabilities, and enhanced design for greater comfort and improved passive noise reduction.

The original SteelSeries Siberia Full-size Headset became a huge success in the professional gaming community and also extended its reach into the music world being used by professional musicians in several high-profile international music videos.

As an upgrade to the original Siberia, the v2 sports an “invisible" retractable microphone system that pulls out from the left ear-cup, allowing for a more convenient and travel-friendly headset especially for tournament players.

The Siberia v2's increased 50mm speakers will amplify the bass and overall volume as well as improve the frequency response to 10-28,000 Hz. Optimized for professional gaming, where crisp detailed sound can mean the difference between winning or losing, the soundscape features crystal clear high, low, and mid-tones. Tournament players and gamers that battle with loud households will appreciate its new closed ear-cup design which features thick leather padded cushions built from sound dampening foam to increase outside noise isolation, especially important for first-person shooter (FPS) games when footsteps and grenade pin-drops are so important to hear.

“Every element of the Siberia v2 has been optimized for pro-gaming, making this headset a preferred piece of equipment for the world's best competitive PC gamers," said Bruce Hawver, CEO of SteelSeries. “What's even more impressive is that the headset is multifunctional with its ability to deliver an unparalleled audio experience for music lovers and VOIP users."

Key product specifications of the SteelSeries Siberia v2 Full-size Headset include:

50mm speakers

Impedance: 32 Ohm

Frequency: 10-28,000 Hz

SPL@1kHz: 112dB

Cable: 1m + 2m extension

Jacks: 2* 3.5mm

Retractable microphone: 50-16,000 Hz, unidirectional

Along with the new thicker leather ear-cups for sound isolation, the Siberia v2 remains lightweight while its trademark headband suspension construction makes it extremely comfortable for use over long periods of time. The volume regulator, the cord and its base have also been upgraded. The primary cord is shorter in length for optimized use with portable gear and comes with an additional extra cord for use with stationary computers.

The Siberia v2 will be offered in two versions, with and without a USB soundcard. The virtual surround 7.1 soundcard offers a consistent sound experience, ensuring gamers the exact same sound and settings no matter where they are in the world or at what computer they are playing. With the easy to use software provided with the headset, the user can easily customize equalizer settings, profiles and other output settings.

SteelSeries Siberia v2 Full-size Headset will be available all over the world in November 2009. Pricing will be announced at that time as well..

EG.usa 2009 Announced!

2008-12-20T12:29:00.000-08:00

Team EG today is excited to announce a major change in the organization's US Counter-Strike 1.6 division, with a complete overhaul of the team's starting lineup. With the recent changes in the North American eSports landscape, many new free agents were on the market and Team EG took the opportunity to sign some of the community's most celebrated talent. We're very excited to announce that for 2009, Danny "fRoD" Montaner, Tyler "Storm" Wood, Matt "Warden" Dickens, and Corey "hanes" Hanes will be joining Team EG.

Staying onboard from 2008, Jordan "n0thing" Gilbert will step in to complete the five-man roster for the new year. While many will recognize the new players as former members of compLexity, Team EG views this as a new team, and the new lineup plans to quickly make a name for themselves as part of the Evil Geniuses brand. The team's core history in North American gaming has yet to be matched, but the players shared that they are eager to yet again raise the standards and represent the region to its fullest potential.

Sharing his feelings on the lineup changes, Gilbert explained, "Even though I was a member of the past team for about a year, the change is definitely something I'm looking forward to. I have a lot of respect for all four of my new teammates and I'm looking forward to the months ahead."

The team's first tournament appearance is yet to be announced, but the team has plans to play in a wide variety of leagues ranging from CEVO to the recent ESL Extreme Masters series.

Commenting further on the organization's big announcement, Team EG Executive Director Alex Garfield shared, "This is obviously a very exciting day for the EG organization, as we're welcoming in a group of players who really do qualify as bonafide legends. We feel that combing them with Jordan, our impact player this year and one of the most exciting new talents in eSports, will truly help energize North American Counter-Strike." Garfield also added, "We hope that the team's rich history with Jason Lake and compLexity is always preserved in the minds of eSports fans around the world, as Jason is one of the true eSports pioneers and deserves only the highest level of respect. But we're equally excited for these players to begin writing a new chapter as members of Team EG."

Star player Danny "fRoD" Montaner also shared his goals for the team: "My only real expectations for this team are to focus and become a strong unit, which will let us place well in every event we attend. We all share the same goal of trying to be a great team, and we are going to try and acheive that goal as a unit."

For now the new division will continue a heavy practice regimen in order to prepare for their debut, while Team EG has shared that this announcement is just the beginning of many changes to come in 2009. Next on their list of releases will be a new Canadian Counter-Strike division lineup and version two of the team's website, scheduled for release in January.

KIKOOOO replaces bit in mibr

2008-12-20T12:19:00.000-08:00

Brazil - Carlos 'KIKOOOO' Segal, former coach and player, returns to the starting five of Made in Brazil not only replacing Bruno 'bit' Lima but also taking the captaincy of the team.

Originally it was planed to form a reserve squad in order "to make a team that wants to win, wants to practice, wants to study its opponents and likes what it does." Now the organisation has chosen to only undergo a lineup change in the main team, replacing Bruno 'bit' Lima with Carlos 'KIKOOOO' Segal.

Segal has been member of mibr before, retiring in early 2007 to focus on his studies. Later that year he was announced as new coach. Segal will not only return to the starting lineup as player but also as the new team captain, displacing Renato 'nak' Nakano.

"The reason for this change for 2009 is that the players realized that the problem within the team was not in the quality of the members but in the in-game leadership" read a statement onmibr.com.

Made in Brazil was last seen performing bad at World Cyber Games and Dreamhack and a lineup change was anything but surprisingly. However, the Brazilians managed to qualify for the Extreme Masters III Global Finals which take place in Hannover, Germany from March 6th - 8th in 2009.

Made in Brazil Lineup 2009:

Thiago 'btt' Monteiro

Raphael 'cogu' Camargo

Lincoln 'fnx' Lau

Carlos 'KIKOOOO' Segal

Renato 'nak' Nakano

Big changes at Virtus.Pro

2008-12-20T11:44:00.000-08:00

Russia - Russian powerhouse Virtus.Pro has decided to release their Ukrainian players Ioan 'Edward' Sukhariev, Danylo 'Zeus' Teslenko and Mykhailo 'Kane' Blagin in order to return to an all Russian lineup, adding Dmitry 'hooch' Bogdanov, Ivan 'Xenitron' Totsky and Denis 'diNGo' Kolomn to the starting five for 2009.

This move comes a bit unexpected, as the team showed decent performances and solid results in the past months. Virtus.Pro was last seen at Rekrut.ru Championship 2008, finishing the tournament 2nd behind mTw and the ICC, where they won against Team Alternate.

Manager Konstantin 'groove' Pikiner underlined that this move was not caused by the team's recent results. "I want to stress that this decision is not related with the team's results," Pikiner told GotFrag. "Recently, the team demonstrated an outstanding and stable game."

Still the management came to the decision to return to an all Russian lineup, removing all Ukrainian players from the lineup while adding former Amazing Gaming member Dmitry 'hooch' Bogdanov and Ivan 'Xenitron' Totsky and Denis 'diNGo' Kolomn, who had been playing for EYEsports before, to the starting lineup.

It can be expected that one or even all of the Ukrainian free agents sign with the leading Ukrainian organisation Amazing Gaming soon. The next scheduled match for the new Virtus.Pro is the Extreme Masters match against Spanish team x6tence on Sunday, 21th December.

Gmail and Gtalk (Finally) Get Decent Emoticons

2008-10-25T07:06:00.000-07:00

Gmail’s emoticons have so far been somewhat lacking; some might call them spartan, even; there weren’t that many of them and they weren’t really that nicely drawn. Now, Gmail has fixed this with an expanded choice of cute animated and static smileys available from the emoticon menu which appears on the toolbar when you start writing a new e-mail.

Gtalk also has some new smilies, but not nearly as many as Gmail; personally, I wish it were the other way round, because I feel smilies are much more

appropriate in chat than in e-mails. Let’s hope Google will stop treating Gtalk like an unwanted child when it comes to emoticons..
