Megaupload disappears from the Internet DNS error

One of the most famous of the world cyberlockers, MegaUpload, unresponsive for about 24 hours for much of the world. Mark the address is useless and just get through the IP (174.140.154.23) works. One might think that is another attack by corporations like the MPAA and RIAA, but it seems that everything is a problem domain registration and DNS.

No wonder that the first culprits are the corporations that fight against piracy or the U.S. government itself - as it was with Rojadirecta - as MegaUpload is one of their blacklists as well as other websites. But the problem seems to be that the service's DNS settings changed during the night of Monday and setting a bad happened there, which explains why some people can still view the site. However, this raises suspicion because a critical process as changing the DNS service is as big as it should never be taken lightly.

But so far no official statements or solid evidence about what happens, but stay tuned. That one of the largest cyberlockers and disappear from the Internet is not something that can be taken with breakfast and the newspaper of the day. Much less when it comes to a service that offers a payment plan that many use.

Nvidia quietly brings a new and curious launch its "new" GPU Geforce GTX 460 V2. The Geforce GTX 460 V2 GPU, although its name suggests, is based on the old Fermi GF104 core which are based the rest of the GPUs of the GeForce GTX 460, but in the current Fermi GF114, used in the Geforce GTX 560 Series (except Ti Geforce GTX 560 448 Cores, which is based on the core GF110).

Korean law prohibits children playing games at night

The new regulation aims to Korean students arrive on time to class. In recent weeks, the South Korean government implemented a system that prevents children under 16 years, playing video games at night, for a period of six hours. The recent determination was carried out in order to encourage punctuality in children, especially when getting up to go to school. While this law was aimed primarily at PC gamers, a publication of CNN, Sony Computer Entertainment Korea announced it will take action on their PSN, in support of the law. In turn, Microsoft has shown not to adhere to the rules and still expect some Nintendo laración dec. However, effective from November 18 this year, the rule has been limited to prohibit logging in and creating new accounts to younger gamers. However, the application system of the new determination is still in its testing phase and do not know when it might be over. This leads us to wonder what will happen to online games or those in the form of mobile application, just to name some of the platforms that are far away from the famous law.

Ubisoft explains that piracy is the only reason that I Am Alive is not released on PC

"We have heard many complaints from PC users that no version compatible what if we made it would buy?".

Stanislas Mettra, creative director of the project I Am Alive, has spoken to IncGamers portal to the fact that the highly anticipated video game from Ubisoft do not jump on the PC, but Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

"We heard loud and clear many complaints from PC users because there is no compatible version, but these people are making all that noise because there is no version or because they really want to play? If we made it would buy? "asked Mettra.

The creative view, the problem lies in the difficulty of financing a game that is released on the PC because of piracy. "It's difficult because there is so much piracy and so few people playing PC games, we have both the cost of doing it," the creative. "Maybe we only take 12 people for three months to make a PC port, not a massive cost but a cost ... If 50,000 people then just buy the game is not worth it."

How would the Angry Birds in real life?

He left with a picture, which was delayed an hour, but her friends asked her to do the rest. In each one it took an average of two hours.

Rauf said he tried to reflect the look and colors of birds.

Architecture and Landscaping: new allies of sustainability

The landscape has started to become the perfect partner to achieve sustainable architecture, acoustics and thermal insulation as well as being an innovative way to create green spaces that contribute to sustainable construction.

This was one of the main conclusions of the First fieldof "Congress of Architecture and Materials for Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Project," which drew more than 100 national architects analyzed and discussed the situation in Chile and future trends.

Some cases

At 20 years of its construction, the Building Consortium was the first to incorporate green spaces in large quantities. With approximately 27,000 m2 plant wall consisting of a vertical grapevine was the first to build a double facade: an inner and an outer THERMAL vegetation, which absorbs sunlight.

Henry Browne, project architect, said that "this type of design is sought to decrease the radiation produced by the horizontal rays of the summer, which generate much heat." Browne added that early in his career was designing vines, instance in which noted that the summer sun, coming from the west, are horizontal, so a horizontal grapevine did not contribute much to reduce exposure to the sun.

From this observation, the front vertical vegetable Consortium Building helped to reduce energy consumption by about 40%, making it the first building to incorporate green spaces decreased energy consumption.

Years later we find another example, the Intercontinental Hotel, the very epicenter of development of the Congress of Architecture. Yves Besançon, architect for the project and partner Alemparte office, Barreda, Wedel, Besançon Associates Architects, said that "the wall of vegetation installed on the west and south facades of the tower Tower Gard is equivalent to about 2,000 m2, which became a new green lung for the capital. "

"This wall is a fabric that uses acoustic and thermal mattress and at the same time reducing the costs of energy consumption, since it produces a protective insulating layer of vegetation, which acts as a cooling element that allows or heat inside the compound, "said Yves Besançon.

Installation of this vertical garden consisted of placing soil into small boxes of not more than eight inches deep arranged vertically, so that the plant grew. Each container has holes on the sides, allowing the roots intertwine and form a mesh that prevents dirt from collapsing.

Using this type of walls does not necessarily imply an increase in costs when considering factors such as customer orientation. Maria Loreto Valenzuela, architect and designer of cover crops, said that "the facades are true plant ecosystems that are designed to live more than 40 years and to ensure their proper development of things should be done right from the beginning."

These ecosystems are labor tailored and appropriate to the needs and requirements of each client, and to be involved from the beginning considering factors such as surveying, types of winds, rules and regulations, among others.

"Being involved from the genesis of the project allows us to have adequate vegetation, avoid allergenic plants, have adequate capacity on the surface will be installed this deck, you have an adequate waterproofing, with humidity and adequate ventilation, even define the type of irrigation to be used, as this can be drip or through the use of gray water, "said Maria Loreto Valenzuela.

Stir in the network trigger strange silhouettes detected in China with Google Earth

Strange shapes discovered in the Gobi Desert in China using Google Earth have sparked the imagination of Internet users who think they see from military facilities to any signs of alien culture.

The American media echoed the strange images that you can see clear targets grooves forming an irregular grid or a sharp discontinuity in the form of concentric circles in the middle of nowhere.

It all started, according to the Huffington Post newspaper, when earlier this week a surfer got a comment on Reddit technology page with a link to the first photo.

"There seems to be a military experiment / scientific monumental in a desert of China, visible through Google Earth. Can anyone explain what exactly is going on there?", Calling for the surfer who received more than a hundred responses.

But the photo did not stop there and in addition to the publicity has been given in the media, internet users have striven to find other structures "suspicious" in Chinese territory using the Google tool.

The conspiracy theories have begun to circulate, while the U.S. company has not acted.

Allen Thomson, a former CIA analyst, told Wired.com that since 2004, "someone" has been interested in the Google Earth satellite images taken hundreds of that part of the desert.

"Someone has ordered many, many satellite photos of that" something "could not have been cheap," he quipped.

The place where the marks have been detected, which were calculated as measure approximately 1 km wide by 1.85 miles long, is in Gansu Province, northwest China, a region that includes part of the Gobi Desert.

"Military experiments remains of a culture alien came to Earth? No one is really sure, 'says the media, while sites like Gizmodo and Wired technology invite their users to take a look at the pictures to contribute comments and clarification of all of what it is.

The scientist Jonathon Hill, a research technician at the Mars Space Flight Facility at the University of Arizona, which has operated with different chambers of the missions that NASA sent to Mars, has found a simpler explanation.

As indicated by the television channel MSNBC, is "almost certain" that China will use these grids giants to calibrate their spy satellites.

The spy cameras focus on the grid and serve them for orientation in space, also believes that another of the areas where technology seems to be material, in fact, may be a military zone or evidence "which would explain the great amount of equipment and technology in a remote area. "

To which he added: "Sometimes the truth can be as interesting, if not more, than the plots with people leaving."

Pearl Jam will perform on November 16 at the Monumental stadium

In early September, Eddie Vedder and his Pearl Jam bandmates in Canada will begin a tour that will have a special treat, as the band come out to celebrate, along with their loyal fans, his 20 years making music and playing a leading role in the history of rock.

Unlike the show that made the trio Jonas Brothers, the only one who has done so far in the stage of Colo Colo and was installed on the grandstand stage Cordillera, both this show and for those who give Red Hot Chili Peppers in the same room, the next-September 16, the stage will be placed on the north gallery, where it usually is installed the "Garra Blanca". Both concerts also will not have long criticized the court and court division between VIP.

This is the second visit of the group from Seattle to Chile, following its debut in 2005, when they did two shows at San Carlos de Apoquindo stadium, which were filed between the year's best and, moreover, were marked by the excitement of fans, who had spent more than a decade waiting to see the emblem of the grunge band. This did not care that it rained for the first recital on Santiago: 25 000 people came to the stage of Las Condes, who sang every song that the band sent in two-hour show, which was repeated the next day, also a packed house.

Although history marks 1990 as the year that left Pearl Jam, the band celebrates its two decades together considering his album Ten, 1991 as the starting point. Since the release of that album, which includes classics like Jeremy, Black, Even Flow and Alive, the band became one of the fundamental rock of the 90. Twenty years later, the group's formation remains almost intact, with Eddie Vedder on vocals, Mike McCready and Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament guitars on bass. The only member that has changed has been the drummer since the four musicians who have been training different from 1991. The current, Matt Cameron, is in the group since 1998.

Live album and documentary

This tour is just one of those celebrations that the group has prepared for this year, which also released the album Live on ten legs, which celebrates its living history: a collection of songs recorded between 2003 and 2010 shows.

Also, director Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous) filmed a documentary on her story, which is due for release in September and ended last April to register. Pearl Jam twenty is the name of this work, which are reviewed footage of the band and which also did special interviews with all members of the group.

It has also been talk of a special concert, with guest stars. "We're just trying to gather a lot of friends and bands that have played in the past to make a couple of concerts in the United States. Probably will assemble at the last minute, do not want to sound like some giant or too important. It should be something natural, "Vedder said in an interview with the Chicago Tribune.

And while it might seem that all these celebrations are enough to fill the list of projects for this year group, especially considering that Vedder also recently released a solo album that had mixed reviews, called Ukulele songs-there is also the possibility of see a new studio album from the band in the coming months: the bassist for the group said in March they had 25 new songs written and now had to decide what to record for the tenth studio album by the band in Seattle.

Museum retro consoles: XBOX

Microsoft had collaborated in 1999 with SEGA to bring the Windows CE operating system to the Dreamcast, from which grew the interest of the Silicon Valley giant to enter the console market with an independent project, which would mark the sixth generation .

Some team members DirectX at Microsoft, created a prototype based on this console technology, presented to the directors of the company by the name DirectX box (soon to change to Xbox only) and approved development. The system included major technological advances compared to previous eras consoles and even the same generation: all Xbox had a hard drive, thus eliminating the need for memory cards to save your game progress. As if that were not enough, for the first time included a console capable of playing titles with Dolby Digital in real time.

It is true that the Xbox had many advantages, but something that was criticized by users and media, was the control. Its dimensions were huge and so far it is recognized as one of the worst in the history of the industry, so a year later was redesigned for a more manageable size.

In 2002 Microsoft launched its Xbox Live service enabling online play with others, download extra content, demos and estabelcer voice communication. To ensure a more stable experience among users, the Xbox required a broadband connection, leaving aside the kind support dial up connections. LIVE was a success and soon attracted more than 250,000 users.

Although Sony made deals to ensure the exclusivity of some major titles when the contracts expired the games began coming to the Xbox. With the passage of time began to be simultaneous releases on both platforms, so that each company began investing in the purchase of school to support certain exemptions at home, as the case of Halo, one of the most successful Microsoft System and he demonstrated its ability to be installed in the rooms of a large number of players around the world.

Call of Duty Elite, a disaster

A week after the historic launch of Modern Warfare 3, the anticipated social and Statistical Service, Call of Duty Elite, continues to operate intermittently, which is why today we report on the extent of annual membership for 30 days. In the same news, Beachhead clarified that these problems were not affecting game performance.

Unfortunately, to make matters worse, since records began prejudice to paragraph billionaire multiplayer title, with users reporting connection and latency abnormalities in the menus, while the registration system and the site as such, remain stuck.

Beachhead says it is working tirelessly to eliminate the obstacles arising from what they described as a "tremendous traffic" and clarified that the collection of statistics is working correctly.

"The launch of MW3 has been tremendous and we knew he would, only resulted in a tremendous volume of traffic on Elite. We anticipate that would be great, but ended up being even bigger, "said Daniel Suarez, vice president of distribution, a few days.

We can not overlook the fact that, with or without extension, membership fee is $ 50 USD per year and is not receiving what was promised. Meanwhile, mobile applications will also be backward Elite and just last week reported that, due to inherent problems in the PC, who will play on computer experience diluted.

In light of these problems, it seems that irony did his. It is worth remembering that, at the time, Glen Schofield, director and co-founder of Sledgehammer Games, scoffed at the problems experienced by the Beta of Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty now which is struggling, not only in this trench, but in the skills of the users, forcing himself Schofield for help to the community.

The mythology of The Elder Scrolls

When the flame of freedom burns inside a video game, we on fire with desire for exploration, seducing us to discover their innermost secrets, is a virtue that few titles reach the satirical tragedy of those wonders is that in our desire to know , avid explorers lost their way and any notion of argument.
The Elder Scrolls have this curse and often give more credit to his refined nature setting or sandbox that holds, let alone one of the elements that have given more cohesive as a franchise: history. It's a shame, because if there is an element of the games lack, with its frequent rush to entertain and underdeveloped scripts, is credibility. May be made with an immersive experience, exemplary case and masterpieces BioWare Mass Effect and Dragon Age, but it's hard to believe you are wandering in the real world when all you interact with a flash of light emanates, or helpful hints emerge on the screen at every step, or say the relentless, inescapable cinematic sequence that tell the story. True, they are attributes that permeate accessibility to entertainment, and without them they would be frightened countless people closer to taking control, the price is the lack of subtlety, as there are rare times when we are torn from fantasy and transported to real life.
Modern video games are made about player comfort, to the extent of compromising his own fiction, creating circumstances that are guilty of obvious and extremely easy to digest, instead of enriching or rewarding situations. You may be skeptical about this, but just wonder how many times we felt like we were wandering in a real place and not in a series of scenarios carefully designed for your pleasure?
Bethesda has excelled in this aspect, creating successful proposals in areas that others do not penetrate or if they do go astray. Be Fallout or The Elder Scrolls, the world exists independently of you, the player. Evolution of concept and technological limitations have important role, is not the same Arena, the first installment of the series, Skyrim, but in terms of current and incumbent upon us now, the reality of the game continues regardless of your actions, but neither remains unchanged your exploits. In Oblivion, just follow up a merchant to realize that you have a routine to deliver supplies in the imperial city and returns home to refuel, regardless of your presence. It is not the first appeal to this nature, but they do so masterful and largely thanks to the support mythology is built on the franchise.

The Elder Scrolls are scrolls that predict future events in the history of Tamriel, can only be deciphered by people who devote their lives to studying the documents divine


Credibility in the improbable

Myths give meaning to society, are stories that address the fundamental questions and difficult that we do all the time: who and what I am, where I came from, why am I here, how I should live, what is right, what is the meaning of the universe, how it all began. In attempting to answer each question within the gaming experience, we are immersed in a cultural environment that overcomes the barriers of the pixel, a genuinely human elements nourished and just as in the mythologies emblematic of humanity, the exploits of great men, women or beasts charged realism, the evocation of forces of good and evil takes on new meaning and the presence of supernatural entities becomes more dramatic.
The myth is a language that seeks to illuminate the dark times of uncertainty, and in analogy to their usefulness to man, within the pixel based entertainment what we see on screen. In the genre of fantasy and more specific, which concerns the medieval setting, myths, legends, folk tales and prophecies serve as descriptions of past or accurate predictions of events to come, unfortunately is a resource that could be considered cliché , which would not be so sad if not for these qualities are used as mere means and not a basis for building a context.
It has lost much of the fascination with mythical stories, but we are still clamoring for the magic element in our seemingly-rational reality, we eagerly longing for the mystery to achieve balance in our understanding and mastery of the world, in an effort to avoid frivolous become automatons. The Elder Scrolls is an oasis in the desert which integrates mythology and a well-defined culture that fascinates us with its fabulous stories of individuals living with magic in a world untamed.

Battlefield 3

Is difficult to discuss without making the classic shooters comparisons between the other games in the genre and Call of Duty, who owns the crown of a huge popularity and strong sales reign that stretches with every new release, in particular becomes more complicated when we refer to Battlefield 3, the strongest contender in the battle of the modern FPS. Independent to continue to be a gold mine, the franchise Activision's war has weakened in recent months after the legal problems of Infinity Ward and the change of baton, large doses of losing quality, making way for others to try to bring something new to gender. Others, just like Battlefield.

Battlefield 3 is visually impressive, but not all beautiful graphics, the gameplay is so solid that the control of vehicles, as these aircraft will be like an aircraft simulator simplified



Before World War breaks out between supporters of each franchise, want to establish that, from our perspective, the shooters as a genre have a serious problem of quality and creative value. There should be no surprise that if the main series trying to corner the market with annual releases will eventually end the novel factor, as happened in the world of sports simulation for several years. It is rare that every new release is too far away from the winning formula of the previous year, only minor adjustments, adding new maps and some weapons, but in the end if you played some version of Call of Duty or Battlefield, you will have no problem adapt to the new version. Indeed, were it not for light visual changes, you might not realize you're in a different game.
With Battlefield 3, DICE tries to change this sad situation, not reinventing the rules by running a shooter and revolutionizing the genre features, but providing more realistic and true surround sound experience when we moved to the battlefield. True, the franchise has long been characterized by allowing a high level of destruction of the stage, but on this occasion that quality takes another dimension, buildings feel frail and with the festival of bullets or explosives break down quickly in saturated collapse of dust and debris. You can not destroy an entire city, only predetermined sections, but thanks to the kindness of Frostbite 2 graphics engine that will be enough to create a unique strain of combat. When you're entrenched in what remains of a wall, and there are shootings all around leaving a cloud of dust that obscures the enemy, you will feel more secure than any other tense confrontation, especially at the most crushing your fragile coverage coming down.
The inability to destroy everything in your path keeps the atmosphere is completely realistic, but eventually need to maintain a balance between the fragility of the world and the gameplay per se, especially in multiplayer-after all, no game should be designed to make holes from one end to another, breaks the pace of combat and strategic value. But that does not stop fun, on the contrary, although from a less Arcade as often happens in Call of Duty. It is clear from the start of a multiplayer game that you can not pounce into a dangerous situation like you're an action hero, not without consequence as a constant and frustrating deaths. The objective in Battlefield 3 is working as a team and you stay in constant communication with the rest of your team, but mostly you are always aware that you're not a superhero but a smart soldier knows how and when facing a battle.

In Bad Company 2 could select and point out enemies, without a clear distinction, you can now assign numbers to coordinate who shoots each enemy




There may be much hype about Battlefield 3, but the intimate moments we share with the game are evidence that the gameplay is solid and entertaining, plus the atmosphere promises to give the feel of a real picture of war and film of action. If you tick the level of realism, you can expect its release on October 25, and discover whether the promises were true.

covers for the old NES games

start at the beginning. this is our guide to create covers for the old NES games:

I'm sure I'm not the only one with the odd NES game without box gathering dust, me and everyone likes to have things neat and to do this here's a mini-tutorial on how to make our own covers for cartridges NES with a very low cost.
For this tutorial we need the following:
• A package carpesano separators (of multi-colored plastic, the thicker the better).
• plastic adhesive contact.
• One pair of clothespins.
• Three elastic bands.
• Two small rules.
Beginning with the task, we take a separator.

We mark the boundary separating the cover in pencil (I used one and here the measures).

We cut the outline of the case.

We bend the tabs that will be attached to each other.

Now put some glue on the corners small contact center and attached to two sides (both the same side), so that the union is firmly secured with clamps until dry.

Once dry, proceed to hit the other side tabs on the above, making use of the rubber bands and the rules to put pressure on the joints, as shown in the picture.

And we have our case finished with a game inside.

And now being compared with an original.

I hope you liked it.
