Looks like Iron Man has a portable suit as well! Awesome!

Signing for Manchester United wasn’t the best option, many thought.

But this probably happened after that.

It’s called the iBroke!

Now everyone can get iBroke by buying all Apple’s previous products.

Here’s how. All you need is just to install or implement an external commenting system. After installing, commenters will be required to enter their name, email and optional website when commenting, just like default WordPress commenting style.

Reason to change? It’s more interactive and you can well manage all your comments on a particular website. External commenting system provides more feature – with custom top commenters widget, popular posts widget and recent comments widget.

Furthermore, you are able to reply on a particular comment and your reply will appear right under the replied comment – one feature that Blogger has yet to implement – which is very important to blogs these days.

Here are some recommended external commenting system – preferably try it out on a test blog before implementing on your intended blog.

1) Disqus

• “Cut and paste” deployment – no coding or other technical expertise required;
• Integrated RSS feeds for search engine visibility and data backup;
• Spam protection, moderation capability and other administrative controls;

3) Intense Debate

They offer:

• Comment Threading – Improve the conversation within the comment section and reply directly to an individual comment. Indented replies make following various conversations manageable.
• Reply-By-Email – Respond to and moderate comments with ease via email, even if you’re on the go. Just because you’re away from your computer doesn’t mean the conversation stops.
• Commenter Profiles – Commenter profiles let you and your readers learn more about each other. Watch the conversation go to new levels once you and your readers are able to get to know each other. Don’t forget, their universal profiles can be used on any site with IntenseDebate.
• Moderation/Blacklistin – IntenseDebate offers some truly hardcore moderation options. Customize your settings to moderate by keywords, number of links, commenter email, and/or IP addresses.
• OpenID – Your readers can post comments easily using their OpenID. They can tie their OpenID to their IntenseDebate profile so they won’t have to worry about remembering another set of login credentials.
• And many more…

Every commenting system are quite different from each other. You have to try all 3 to determine your best choice. Enjoy!

Your job? As a saboteur (as hinted by the game’s title) you take on the role of Sean Devlin, an Irish racer turned resistance fighter, as he pinpoints Nazi weak spots and disrupts them in any way possible (most end up in blowing the place up with dynamite or shooting at some big shot Nazi) and restore morale and faith in the citizens of Paris.

Well that sums up the basic gist of the game. Saboteur is a third-person stealth action game with its game play slightly resembling Grand Theft Auto and Assassin’s Creed. The player is able to explore Paris in its entirety, thanks to its open world, and complete missions in order to weaken the Nazi occupation. Saboteur is a unique and thrilling game to play thanks mostly to its visuals. For example, parts of Paris that are under heavy occupation by Nazi forces will be in black and white when Sean visits them. When Sean manages to weaken the Nazi influence in that area, then colour would return to the area, signifying the citizens’ hope has returned and is now inspired to oppose the occupation whenever they can.

Unlike many World War II inspired video games that have floated in the market, you do not have to worry about the repetitive shooting and killing of Nazi soldiers that the other games may suffer from. In Saboteur, using guns and shooting down Nazis is considered a generally bad idea. This is one game in which you cannot wield two heavy machine guns to do a Rambo and mow down waves of infantry units. In Saboteur you have to use wits and skill to evade the Nazi in order to infiltrate and sabotage many of their vital buildings or areas. Climbing buildings, donning Nazi uniforms as disguises and sneaking around is the best way to go around in this game.

But sneaking around doesn’t necessarily mean that Sean cannot get caught. Nazis will notice if Sean is doing anything even remotely suspicious such as climbing buildings and will raise the alarm that will bring every Nazi soldier to hunt him down unless he can evade them (which is difficult to do).

Saboteur is a good game but has been released to the PC version with bugs that will affect ATI card users, but a beta patch is out that fixes most of the glitches although some still remain. But be sure that Saboteur will provide you with hours of good fun sneaking around and blowing stuff up.

Watch the trailer!

Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant, father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

Looks like another interesting movie. Moreover, it’s in 3D!

There are many exciting new features and improvements but I would like to highlight a few from Microsoft Word.

First Glance

Default look of Word 2007 and Word 2010

At first glance there isn’t much difference. Office 2007 looks blue and Office 2010 looks gray by default. Hence the comparison of Vista to 7.

File Option

File Option of Word 2007 and Word 2010

As you can see, there is a huge difference. Comparatively, Word 2010 has a neater and efficient way of organizing the file option especially the print option. We no longer have unnecessary pop-ups which in my opinion breaks the design. The print preview is presented together with print  which saves time and effort.The design of the interface looks more coherent and appealing and gives more depth to the ribbon.

The New WordArt

The in-line word art

Creating Word Art is now is easier and better. In comparison the old word art, the word art here looks more classy and elegant. Word Art is no longer treated as a special object, as it was previously. This makes editing easier and more accessible.

The New Screenshot

Screenshot

With this option, we can do a custom screen capture. As shown above, when we choose screenshot from insert, we can drag the cursor to the area we wish to choose. In this case, I have cut out the title of our blog from the website using Word 2010. No more painful printscreen-ing and photoshop-ing or paint-ing. This function was available for Onenote 2007.

Artistic

Artistic

Feeling artistic? Word 2010 allows you to use filters similar to of Photoshop. Of course, Photoshop can do insane graphics and gives you insane controls. However, they are complex and requires a lot patience and practice. This new feature is convenient for those who are rushing in to finish their assignment or projects. Furthermore, most of the time, all we need is simple touch ups and does not require a sophisticated software like Photoshop.

Remove Background

Remove Background

Ever wondered how to quickly remove the annoying background that just ruins your paper. With Word 2010, it is as easy as a button click. Again, Microsoft is pushing the user experience to a whole new level.

Conclusion

There are many other exciting new features but I believe these are the “wow”-s. I have also noted that Office 2010 responds better to my keystroke and has a better zoom-in-and-out graphics. I have so far experience no crashed like I had with 2007. All in all, Office 2010 is yet another benchmark for Office Product Suites.

The villain’s alter ego, Ivan Vanko, is a Russian who has constructed his own version of a suit. Among the creative innovations are a pair of whips, powered by the suit’s glowing chest piece, that are expected to keep Iron Man cracking.

This hack will enhance the label and archive pages on a Blogspot blog.

Showing only the titles and not the content.

Dashboard > Layout > Edit HTML > check Expand Widget Templates box

Then find this code line:

<b:include data=’post’ name=’post’/>

Replace that line with this coding.

<b:if cond=’data:blog.homepageUrl != data:blog.url’>
<b:if cond=’data:blog.pageType != “item”‘>
<h3 class=’post-title’><a expr:href=’data:post.url’><data:post.title/></a></h3>
<b:else/>
<b:include data=’post’ name=’post’/>
</b:if>
<b:else/>
<b:include data=’post’ name=’post’/>
</b:if>

Save.

Now you have summarized label and archive pages.
