Halo 3 is one of the most awaited games and after its launch itself it has become an instant hit. It bought some $170mn on it first day itself in US. No doubt lots of credit goes to Halo 2 for this eagerness among XBOX gamers.

Halo 3 starts exactly where Halo 2’s ends abruptly. The Master Chief jumps into a jungle to end the fight and game ends. Personally I didn’t like such ending. After achieving and owning the climax of the game, you are still in sense of suspense and you can’t do anything from here and hoping next part to get release soon.

Halo 3 will give you a bit different experience from Halo 2 but still some of the things repeat here. You would still enjoy these repeated things as you can say that some amazing part of Halo 2 is retained here with its own extraordinary package.

Halo 3 weapons and vehicles are amazing and you have lots of variety here. The best part I felt about Halo 3 is its vehicles. You will definitely love the graphics of the game. They are very eye catchy and brilliant.

Halo 3 multiplayer mode is as amazing as that of Halo 2 or I felt it some what better than that of Halo 2. You can not miss this game. This game should make it to your collections if you are true game lover.

The place where Quake 2 ends, Quake 4 starts from there. The Strogg are regrouping and Earth warriors need to launch final attack on them and cause destruction of Strogg. You are Matthew Kane and you are provided with soldiers, arms, ammunition and vehicles to turn this war of two worlds in your favor.

Quake 4 will give you an amazing single player experience, thanks to its amazing graphics and game play. Quake 4 is developed on the same engine as of Id Software hit Doom 3. The game isn’t developed by Id Software itself but the company had outsourced its development to Raven Software, who did a great job.

Quake 4 will give you an amazing single player experience but if you are one of the multiplayer lover then this not the game for you. Its multiplayer mode is very poor when compared to it predecessor Quake 3. Quake 3 is one of the best multiplayer games of its time and still very exciting.

If you are a FPS gaming lover then you should give a try to it. It will give you a great feeling in single player mode.

Seems Carbon Trading is the latest fad amongst the C02 belching industrial honchos in developed world..
Ever since, India signed the Kyoto protocol,its been entitled to save up something called “carbon credits” by adopting environmentally friendly measures to be sold to a developed nation which wants to emit C02 beyond its prescribed limit at a hefty price..

London is supposed to be the Carbon trading capital of the world with several big houses like DSP Merill Lynch getting into it.

The window of opportunity here is small before India is declared as an “industrialized” nation and can no longer sell carbon credits Google for Carbon trading ,search results are quite interesting.
Can any of you guys conceive a biz model with respect to the same for some startup?

Do you think I would ask you to download or buy High tech Security software??
Neah, all you have to do is to download Banana Screen software and a correctly configured Webcam and small space on your hard drive will do the job.

Now the question is how does it work??

The Banana Screen captures your facial features to build a statistical representation of your face and it is stored in Binary form.

All you need to do after this is install the BananaScreen.

I have tried this cool security system with my webcam (some configuration parameters) and Windows XP.

To use it for your PC all you need to do is to Install BananaScreen software and set a face model. Once the system is locked, BananaScreen will be watching faces coming in front of the camera (webcam), and when it catches your, your computer is unlocked, great isn’t it? How about giving it a try.

You just need to keep your home PC IP address in mind to access web shared folders or you can give some web name to your server PC to access.
Not only this you can even upload files to your HFS from remote system.

HFS is a freeware and this 550KB setup can be downloaded from here:

Typer Shark, which is a Java product, is more popular than keybr.com. You can use online version, free version for your PC or a paid version too for $19.99. No let me talk about only online version as both the PC versions of Typer Shark (trail and paid) are windows application or I should say window versions are full fudged games with and no doubt way better than kebr.com. Online version of Typer Shark is available on various websites like yahoo games, shockwave.com, popcap.com etc. Now as an online version Typer Shark is an applet as it is a Java product. For me it stuck many times while using this as web app. Maybe some Microsoft IE and Java applet ego clashJ. This in between stopping of this web app may disappoint many of you or even frustrate you.

So if you are seriously looking for a web app to help you improve your typing parameters (speed and accuracy) I would recommend keybr.com as it has simple interface with decent options settings but Typer Shark will make it more fun to work on your typing.
