It may not be what many gamers are clamoring for, but Sony has got a slew of media-management tweaks in store for the PlayStation 3. By way of its PlayStation Blog, Sony today detailed what gamers can expect out of firmware update v2.60, which it expects to roll out in the near future. Foremost among the features included with v2.60 is the new Photo Gallery tool. With it, PS3 gamers will be afforded a streamlined process for sorting and displaying their digital photos. Planned features thus far announced include the ability to organize pictures within a variety of different parameters, to create slideshows accompanied by music, and to create photo playlists.
Firmware update v2.60 will also allow PS3 owners who have not signed up for the PlayStation Network to browse the online store. It will also add support for the DivX 3.11 video compression format. Sony did not reveal when the PS3’s firmware update v2.60 would be available. Along with detailing tweaks in store for the PS3, Sony mentioned today that the PSP is due for a minor firmware update. Specifics of the tweak, dubbed v5.03, were not revealed. Sony did say that the update is designed to improve system software stability during the use of certain PSP features. No date was issued for when gamers can expect to pick up the update, though Sony did say that it is expected to arrive “soon.”

On 18th November 2008, “Electronic Arts” (E.A) launched Need for Speed Undercover, The 12th episode of their one of the most anticipated gaming series in all over the world called Need for Speed. The game is all about Fantastic Street racing action with lots of more attractive styles. This magnificent version of Need of Speed has got realistic 3D graphics and contains the large highway system including 160 km of road (100miles). Racing is placed in TRI CITY (A Fictional City) which is divided into 4 major territories named Palm Harbor, Port Crescent, Gold Coast Mountains & Sunset Hills.
Official website: http://www.needforspeed.com
The game contains a very realistic kind of story and its very 1st time that in the game player (you) is a Cop who goes undercover showing himself as a street racer to report the criminal activities to F.B.I and to take down an international smuggling chain which are smuggling the stolen cars and their spare parts in Tri City’ different territories. After going undercover the Chase Linh (Maqqie Q) is your only contact she guides you throughout the mission as your FBI Liaison. Although player is a cop but he has to destroy the police vehicles and break the rules of law and order.
The game contains the single race quick race and knockout system but the main part of the game is carrier mode Player can start His carrier by purchasing a new car and after winning the more races he earns more cash and can get more vehicles. player can increase his Wheel man Level by wining more and more races, Players gets different bonuses after winning the races in shape of up gradation of their car’s spare parts such as Engine, transmission, brakes, wheels, NOS and ETC.
Like the previous episodes this version also contains the Sprint races, Circuit races, dodging the cops. but allots of new racing styles has been introduced in this game such as Highway Battle on a free way from starting point to ending point in which you have to race against your opponent (having a highly tuned car) on a straight highway without any curves and beat him by keeping distance of 300 meters from his car
The other new thing in the game is driving jobs just like G.T.A (Grand Theft Auto). You (player) have to steal a car and pursuing with the cops you have to drive the car without major damages towards a designated location (told in map).
The Game contains very rare BOSS RACES but they are quite different from the previous episodes. Basically boss race is a chase down race where player has to chase the boss car and destroy the car before the boss’ thugs comes near to you and destroy your car.
Game allows its players to play anywhere in “TRICITY” and this experiment was not highly appreciated by the players because there are no hidden events and unlock able missions. Police is not so efficient in this version and can be easily handled by the player. Although they put some pressure on during the game play but cops are not so efficient like they were in Need for Speed Most Wanted, so it’s very easy to doge the cops in Undercover
The Game contains very few modes of multiplayer game play but some of them are new and launched 1st time. Players can play against each other in “COPS n ROBBERS MODE”. One player will play being a cop and the other one will play as a robber. Cop is liable to catch the robber and the robber should deliver the package towards the safe or designated location. Players can entertain themselves by playing the remaining modes.
Need for Speed undercover is really a very interesting and entertaining game especially for a single player graphics and sound are really very realistic and awesome and other factors are also but it’s almost same as Need for Speed Pro street so it could be disappointment for many players but overall it’s an entertaining version launched by Electronic Arts n BlackBox Studious

How to Install Oracle client in ubuntu?
First you have to get the Debian file. You will get it from the link: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/htdocs/102xelinsoft.html
Here you have to download the Oracle database 10g express client. If ou are using ubuntu then you have to get the *.deb file.You may have to make an account and get a username and password in that site For installing double click on the file you have downloaded.And follow the procedure. Then it will get installed and you can access the SQL CLI from the Applications --> Oracle client 10g Express edition.
If it is showing some error when you try to connect to the server, as shown in the figure.
Then you have to open the file nls_lang.sh. And in that file there will be some bugs. In that file make sure that in the lines 106 & 108 there is only single brackets. This will clear the bug and you can get it running.
HappY SurfinG!!! (:
How do you test if a download accelerator is really working? One way would be to download the same files twice. Once with the download accelerator enabled and once without. While this is surely not the most scientific method of testing it should provide enough data to come to a conclusion. The uTorrent Download Accelerator was mentioned on Madhur Kapoor’s Blog. It promises accelerated downloads thanks to a powerful traffic optimization algorithm that is working in the background.
The developer’s website does not really go into much detail about the optimization but it is safe to say that the uTorrent preferences are not changed by it. There is also information about a paid version upon which is said to improve the performance even more. Again without additional information on what is being optimized.
The test was conducted with two downloads of 201 and 34 Megabytes. The unaccelerated download reached an average download speed of 756.5 and 203.2 Megabytes while the accelerated download capped in at 654.2 and 142.8 Megabytes. The acceleration of the downloads had the opposite effect. It could be that the test system was already optimized way better than the software could do it or it could be attributed to different download sources. The last possibility would be that the software is not working as advertised.
It the uTorrent download accelerator working? Apparently not on the test system. It could be worth a try if you have abysmal download rates in the bittorrent client. What’s your take after trying the software?
