The Playstation was also the first gaming console to use CD-ROM based games and had many add-on features for their consoles which included movie format an independant memory card and many other peripherals for use with the playstation. The first game released for the Playstation was “Crash Bandicoot”. In 2000 playstation lanched their console Playstation 2 which is the second most selling gaming console after the PS.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Sony and Samsung – </em>Two technological giants work together with one goal in mind; introduce 3D televisions in the upcoming months, forecasting that they will be the next in demand products in an already packed electronics business.<span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.twominutenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Samsung-and-Sony-Initiates-3D-TV-Breakthrough-03-09-3D-TV_full_600.jpg" rel="lightbox[5074]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5075" title="Samsung-and-Sony-Initiates-3D-TV-Breakthrough-03-09-3D-TV_full_600" src="http://www.twominutenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Samsung-and-Sony-Initiates-3D-TV-Breakthrough-03-09-3D-TV_full_600-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>PlayStation 3 gaming console Sony Corporations is positive that the #D models will comprise the 10 percent of over 25 million LCD TV’s that the company aims to vend for the next year.  They are also planning to release a 3D game software for the gaming platform sooner or later for its #D TV launch in June.</p>
<p>Industry leader for flat-screen TVs Samsung Electronics Co Ltd will then begin US sales of their 46 and 55-inch #D TVs this March, with new models coming on the following months.</p>
<p>Analyst Alex Oh of the Hanwha Securities in Seoul said that game enthusiasts would most probably be the first buyers of the 3D TV “as an early adopter”. Quoted from him, he said that &#8220;in that sense, Sony, which is envisioning a comprehensive entertainment company, will take advantage of its game business, contents and movies, compared with Samsung and LG, which remain focused on hardware.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>On the second spot</strong></p>
<p>It is Sony versus LG Electronics Inc for the position of the world’s 2<sup>nd</sup> flat TV maker. <strong> </strong></p>
<p>Many producers are expecting that technology will be an improvement for the industry as the evolution of colored TV’s from the old school black and white ones.</p>
<p>The consumers, however are just getting the feel of their newly bought high-definition TV’s and according to forecasters they might be unwilling to change their TVs soon, considering the amount and the fact that they have to wear the special glasses to view images on 3D.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>What’s on 3D?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>With the lack of this 3D programming, Samsung announced that anyone who avails of the 2010 #D TVs and 3D Blu-ray Player or home entertainment system will receive a special kit that has the viewing glasses together with a 3D version of the movie “Monsters vs. Aliens”. This is under a contract with DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. DreamWorks furthered that come the second half of the year, the “Shrek” movie series would be available to Samsung 3D consumers.</p>
<p>Just last February, Samsung initiated in offering 3D TVs in South Korea and affirmed that they would lauch the product globally this March, aiming on selling at least 2 million units this year.</p>
<p>The world’s fourth largest flat-screen TV manufacturer Panasonic Corp. is aiming to introduce the 3D TVs in the US today, March 10, 2010. The company said that they will be cooperating with the top US electronics dealer Best Buy Co in promoting the units.</p>
<p><strong>Exclusively not just in cinemas</strong></p>
<p>Worldwide hit 3D movie Avatar and other recent flicks have ignited enormous attention in 3D movies and the electronic producers are not rushing to make the hardware available.</p>
<p>Quoting from Sony Senior Vice President Yoshihisa Ishida’s words on a news conference held yesterday, “we at Sony will liberate 3D from the confines of movie theaters and make it something that people can enjoy at home,&#8221;</p>
<p>Howard Stringer, Sony’s Chief Executive Officer is affirmative that a change to 3D would most likely improve many of the company’s operations, including TVs, digital cameras, Blu-ray DVD players and videogames.</p>
<p>The PlayStation Portable’s manufacturer will start vending the #d TVs in Japan on the 10<sup>th</sup> of June and abroad at most probably the same time. Sony expects a TV with a 46-inch screen, which includes two pairs of the required 3D glasses, which comes with a value of 350,000 yen ($3,875) , 52 percent greater than the most recent regular LCD TV with an equal screen size.</p>
<p>A 46-inch 3D LCD unit from Samsung US said that it would cost around $1, 700, whereas their 63-inch plasma TV would go at around $6,800. Both of the units would be available in May.</p>

<p>The fresh working party will convene industry leaders and consumer urges to build a set of guidelines for specified offers. Intelius has committed $250,000 to the working party.</p>
<p>J. Adler, Chief Privacy Officer of Intelius told that: Intelius is committed to offering the good shopping experience for our clients. Presently, there are no consistent, domestic guidelines on how retail merchant should introduce extra offers to consumers during their internet check out process. This group will arrange clear-cut guidelines that balance consumer security and industry obligation, filling up the void that now survives so consumers can be better attended.</p>
<p>Net commerce is comparatively young and standards are still coming forth. Through this working party, industry and consumer advocacy groups will close to produce reasonable guidelines for internet marketing to consumers.</p>
<p>A. Schwartz, V.P. and CEO of CDT told that: Consumer advocates, retail merchants, consumers and governors can all take benefit from consistent criteria for marketing on the net. One of the challenges that must be speaking is how to distinctly specify standards for purchases made by third-party advertisers that the consumer has no former relationship and may ne’er even have detected before. This working party will be an aim to address consumer interests and offer clear-cut guidelines to the industry. We’re happy that Intelius has acquired a leading role in building up this significant initiative.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em><strong>Cisco Announcement: CRS</strong>-<strong>3 P</strong>latform</em></strong><strong> &#8211; Many were disappointed about the recent release of a new gadget from Cisco Systems Inc, the <strong>CRS</strong>-<strong>3 </strong>platform. The big announcement from Cisco did not unveil a new smartphone or e-reader, though the hype says much of what many expected.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.twominutenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cisco-announcement.jpg" rel="lightbox[4987]"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4988" title="cisco announcement" src="http://www.twominutenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cisco-announcement.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="160" /></a>On Monday, investors sent Cisco a large amount of share after releasing a statement about their newest equipment, the CRS-3 platform.</p>
<p>According to Marketwatch, John Chambers, Chief Executive Officer of Cisco, revealed that they will unveil  &#8221;a significant announcement that will forever change the Internet.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>But what exactly did most people expect the company, whose core business is routers and switches, to announce? The new routers promise 12 times the traffic capacity of rival routing systems. Ultimately, as they are deployed by carriers such as AT&amp;T Inc. and others, this much-needed capacity will help move the additional traffic burden from all the smartphones out there, plus fat video files.</p></blockquote>
<p>Cisco&#8217;s announcement of their new high-capacity router wasn&#8217;t worth the hype, they overplayed instead. That&#8217;s according to various news websites and product reviews.</p>
<p>Clearly, investors don&#8217;t have the same tolerance for hyperbole from Cisco chief executive John Chambers as they do from Apple Inc.&#8217;s Steve Jobs.</p>

There was a report of a leaked list primarily on iBookstore titles and prices in late February however, this is Apple&#8217;s first official indication of pricing for the record, the file that was been reported corresponds with all of the prices above. It appears that the list of price above was noteworthy to be included in New York Times bestsellers as a split category, which brings into line with the vigilant scrutiny of Alejandro, a reader;  he noticed the idiosyncratic Times logo in an iBooks app at the bottom line of the screen at the last part of the ad.</p>
<p>For other titles, we may expect to distinguish at launch are &#8220;The Last Song&#8221; by Nicholas Sparks for 9.99USD, followed by &#8220;U is for Undertow&#8221; by Sue Grafton for 12.99USD and lastly &#8220;The Wrecker&#8221; by Clive Cussler for 12.99USD by just looking on the leaked list.</p>
<p>Kindle and Nook currently dominates into the ebook market from the iBooks application represents Apple&#8217;s first foray. The competition is blazingbefore the iPad even hits stores, as HarperCollins and Macmillan have forced Amazon to re-visit their pricing policies. This January of this year, before the introduction of iPad , Adoption of 70/30 revenue split the App Store uses by Amazon. A grand battle will erupt which only means one thing: Better choices and products for us, the customers!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Facebook –</em> The world’s most popular social networking site doesn’t only have the interface that Netizens all over the world learned to accept. But what else does it offer?</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://www.twominutenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Facebook’s-10-Most-Popular-Games-in-2009b-facebook-logo.jpg" rel="lightbox[4933]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4934" title="Facebook’s-10-Most-Popular-Games-in-2009b-facebook-logo" src="http://www.twominutenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Facebook’s-10-Most-Popular-Games-in-2009b-facebook-logo-300x112.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="112" /></a>What really made the social networking platform more inviting are the applications and games wherein users can choose over an array of thousand of applications and flash games.  These free games provide users endless hours of fun and interaction, which could probably be the best way to waste your time on the Net. All you need to have is a Facebook account of course and a reliable Internet connection.</span></strong></p>
<p>Here is a rundown of the previous year’s 10 most popular games on Facebook.</p>
<p>1. Mafia Wars, Zynga</p>
<p>One of the most popular games who dominated Facebook last 2009, Mafia Wars has over 26 million active players. Basically the goal is to be the most powerful family. You can create one with your friends, start a criminal kingdom and dominate other families. The strongest family remains, can you survive?</p>
<p>2. Farmville, Zynga</p>
<p>Anyone who doesn’t have a farm in Farmville most probably must be living under a rock. According to Facebook, the game has over 70 million active players in a month. Basically what you need to do is to tend your farm; add animals, decorate your farm and add a much of other items like tractors and fences. Visit your friend’s farms to earn points and cash.</p>
<p>3. YoVille, Zynga</p>
<p>YoVille is a virtual world which allows its users to create their own virtual selves; personal avatars and personal homes.

<p>5. Barn Buddy,  theBroth</p>
<p>With almost 6 million players, Barn Buddy works just like Farmville, you basically need to tend your farm by planting crops and decorating your area. Be sure to have a guard dog though because there are tendencies for neighbors to steal some of your crops.</p>
<p>6. Texas HoldEm Poker, Zynga</p>
<p>With almost 20 million active users per month, this might be one of the most addicting games on  Facebook . I believe I don’t need to say more.</p>

<p>Many of the individuals, as well as other people, that are the key suspects within sending up the wrong messages or doing the wrong full acts through and through their very own computers are actually not the ones doing it but they just have the applications pretty commonly known as the keyloggers installed up on to their very Computing machines.</p>
<p>As their actually is bad in the world their is good as well, &amp; their are many an apps designed to detect and remove the keyloggers from the users systems. One such application is the freeware called up as the KL detector. The application named KL detector, was in reality programmed up for the operating system of Windows XP. Nonetheless, it actually works on the Windows 7 computing machines as well.</p>
<p>The only side kick of the programmed application named as the KL detector, is the very thing that it detects the keylogger only, it does not remove it.</p>
