Evil Dead: hail to the King!


I'm looking for old Playstation games but I'm a bit unlucky...
I'm trying to find the PS1 game called "Evil  Dead: hail to the King" inspired to the movie, but no way, it's impossible to find.

More info:

Should I retrieve this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_Dead:_Regeneration ?

OS trends


I found this interesting website for analyze the trend and the share of the most important operating systems:

http://marketshare.hitslink.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=11&qpcustomb=0

in which Windows Vista and Xp  give way to Windows Seven.


There is the mobile OS chart too:

Motorola Milestone (Droid) Froyo, some little works to do

It's time to put something new on this old Motorola Milestone (Droid in the Usa).



So, what do?

First point, a new launcher, the Froyo's launcher is *blearhg*.
For me the best is Go Launcher Ex for some reasons:
- better app drawer
- creation of directories in the app drawer and in the desktops
- gestures (if you want)
- possibility to hide dock bar and status bar (notify bar)
- multiple desktops (like original android home launcher)
- multiple docks
- widgets scaling
- choosing the grid dimension on the desktops
- choosing how icons appear on the desktop (black label, alpha label, no label etc...)
- tons of other stuff

This launcher works great in this phone (that has low ram)

A post about this (free) launcher>
 http://www.lollercoasterlab.com/2011/11/new-launcher-for-your-android.html

Second point, rooting phone.
With the "root" you can use your phone as a super user, with this utility you can choose to grant SU permission to an App (Titanium Backup, etc...).

This link is very clearly:

Third point (I'm in this point), trying the overclocking.
Poor battery! But, it's only for testing purpose.
This link is very helpful:
http://code.google.com/p/milestone-overclock/
(There are many overclock utilities in the market)

PS: Use at your own risk, I do not take responsibility for your actions!

Next steps? A custom rom I suppose...

...and a list of the MUST HAVE apps...

Minecraft update: 1.1 version

There is the 1.1 upgrade for Minecraft


Oooook.

Broken Sword, play it on your mobile phone


These great adventure-games finally on your smartphones!
I played them on my Playstation (the first) in the 1999/2002 (I have skipped the school for some days to play them).
Ops! I discovered that they were free few days ago... :_(

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/broken-sword-directors-cut/id350353259?mt=8

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/broken-sword-the-smoking-mirror/id395483212?mt=8

Ok, these are for iOS, but for Android?
Take a look there: http://myhtcdesire.com/tag/broken-sword

The iOS versions are remastered and optimized for a better mobile experience (big dialog baloons, etc), the ScummVm version is not (but you can survive to this).

PS:
if you have a Win Pc you can play the Broken Sword 2.5 game, search it in this blog, no, I link it:

Are you Rorscharch?

Are you a fan of Rorschach?
No, not this guy:
Hermann Rorschach looks like Brad Pitt
and no, not his test.
I'm talking about this Rorschach


Ok, you are a fan and the Halloween is coming (yeah, just 10 months), so... there is a website that sells his mask in 5 different versions with the motion blur of ink.

Do you want your personal Steve Jobs?

Buy this action-figure for only 100€ dollars from the In Icons website

http://inicons.com/order.html

Obviously Apple’s lawyers are attempting to stop the sale of this product, they say:

"...is too similar to Steve Jobs: he is dressed in black, has smooth shoulders.
If you want to sell your product you need to put his mouth anywhere else, making it more cumbersome and change color..."
I'm just kidding (only in the quote :P)

Top & Flop of 2011


About tech, games and other things.


Top:
- Android mobile OS: downloads from the market and impressive number of activations, ICS (Android 4) is released
- Apple Iphone 4S: despite a few news and the same design, has sold a lot
- Tablets, tablets everywhere, Kindle gold year too


Flop:
- Samsung and Apple patents war: Apple is ruining its name with its patents troll war
- Apple MacOsx Lion: good sales, but a lot of bugs, many users complained
- Nintendo 3DS: nobody gives a sh** about this (no games)
- Sony was hacked a lot of times, stolen user data
- Duke Nukem 3D: after years proves a disappointment
- 3D Tv: who bought them?
- Google with Google Plus (can't beat Facebook) and Google Wave (it's closing)
- Chromebooks: google laptops that cost as a normal laptop but only work online

In the middle (can't say if is a top or a flop, next year maybe):
- Metro interface on Windows 8: we see only the Developer Preview so we can't say anything (waiting for Beta)


I forgot something?

I'm waiting for news about the new Tomb Raider

I want MORE

Facebook: I don't wanna see IE7


Facebook doesn't support IE7 anymore. Do you wanna see FB in the right way?
Update!

(if you want to use IE)

IE8 for Xp:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/it-it/details.aspx?familyid=341c2ad5-8c3d-4347-8c03-08cdecd8852b&displaylang=it

 or IE9 for Vista/Seven:
http://windows.microsoft.com/it-IT/internet-explorer/products/ie/home

A good strategy to convince users to upgrade their browsers.

PS: I switched on the timeline in my profile on Facebook... I like it.

Happy New Year!
