Crysis Sharks walk on Land, climb mountains

Posted by Sunit in Thursday, April 3rd 2008   under: General, Internet, Softwares, Technology    Tags: crysis, game, shark   

I have often seen, games are prepared as much as possible to give a real look. In many games, the animations are seen as if they aren’t animations but real videos.

Now, there is a famous game called Crysis. Everyone has surely heard this name. Now see this video by a player. A great ‘bug’ in the image. He has to fight with the sharks on land and even on climbing the mountains. They keep on chasing him everywhere. Check this out.

The video maker says, he hasn’t edited anything from the game. But still this is happening. Either this is a bug or a funny easter egg :-P. Whatever it is, some clarifications should be given or the bug corrected.

We would love to hear from our readers, who have also faced the same problem.

Windows XP SP3 RTM date is a typo - Microsoft

Posted by Hemanth in Thursday, April 3rd 2008   under: Microsoft    Tags: Microsoft, RTM, SP3, Windows XP   

Most of you are aware of the rumors on further delays in the Windows XP SP3 public release date. But all in a sudden a news post in the Neowin forums stir a debate on the fact the SP3 is already RTMed! It all started with someone who noticed the Windows XP SP3 RTM ( Release-To-Manufacturing) date as 31st March 2008 in the Windows XP Support Live Cycle Page at Microsoft.com.

The page states General Availability Date of XP SP3 is 31/03/2008 meaning it may well have RTM’d already but the software giant has not made an official public announcement.

Upgrade to Wordpress 2.5 - A Big Change!

Posted by Hemanth in Thursday, April 3rd 2008   under: General    Tags: blog, script, upgrade, wordpress, Wordpress 2.5   

At last I’ve decided to upgrade Wordpress to the latest version 2.5 which is released a few days back. We were using an aged 2.1 version for the sake of a few nice plugins, more than that the time to upload the files and all. :) But the upgrade was really fast, completed in 1 minute, yeah you read it right. I’ll write the details in another post.

This version of wordpress is a lot more faster when compared to what we already have. Another thing that changed is the database, which is now here in TechTalkz.com dedicated server itself. Well, that’s another story! In short i forgot to move the blog database from the old shared host and all these days poor wordpress was accessing data from a geographically distant sever. So I assume you’ll notice the improvement in the page loading time.

Wordpress 2.5 - Changes

I can’t stop without saying a bit about the new features in Wordpress 2.5. Well the first thing I noticed is the improved admin dashboard. The color theme is changed and the options are totally re-arranged. A pic posted in Wordpress.org is below.

The mass-moderating options of comments is a plugin I would pay for if implemented by someone else. It’s the the best feature I have in the vBulletin script of our forums. Deleting those cleaver spam comments are now really easy.

Comments manage

A few of other awesome improvements are listed below:

  • Cleaner, faster, less cluttered dashboard
  • Dashboard Widgets
  • Multi-file upload with progress bar
  • EXIF extraction
  • Search posts and page
  • Tag management
  • Password strength meter
  • Concurrent editing protection
  • Few-click plugin upgrades
  • Friendlier visual post editor
  • Built-in galleries
  • Media buttons

Read more about these features in matt’s WP 2.5 announcement post. I can’t wait any longer to tryout the new features of WP 2.5.

Signing off……..
