Assassins Creed 2: The main character

Breaking News.

You may be thinking, why have I posted a picture of Altair. But if your thinking that then please slap yourself, because this is not Altair from the original Assassins Creed, this is the main character of Assassins Creed 2. The image was posted on the Ubisoft forum before it was later taken down.

and yes, this is the real deal.

Apple nears one-billion app sales

Apple are nearly there, nearly at their one billionth app sale... incredible figures for a service which hasn't been opened for too long. To celebrate this, Apple are running a promotion on their website, enter this contest and you could see yourself bagging:

• A MacBook Pro
• A $10,000 iTunes card... (This ain't a typo!)
• An iPod Touch
• and a Time Capsule

Although there is virtually a one in 5 trillion chance of winning, I entered anyway.. because, as much as I'd love one, I wouldn't spend that much money on a MacBook Pro.

Cheap laptop, great specs

Just thought I'd let you guys know about they've got going over at eBuyer.. The HP 6735s laptop, with some amazing specs, is going for just £399. 

Specifications:

• AMD Turion X2 Dual Core - 2.1Ghz
  
• 4GB RAM
• 15" screen
• 320GB hard drive
• ATI Radeon HD3200
  
• Bluetooth & Webcam

Certainly one of the better deals around just now. Still though, I have to say I don't think I can resist the portability of the Asus Eee PC 1000He.

Now you can become Master Chief

Looks as if the folks over at Cyberdyne are going to have their pride and joy mass-produced. 

Yes, this is real. I know. The cybernetic body-suit suit will supposedly cost a rather affordable $4,200. Great price for those of you who want to go bionic. You could even paint it and become a super-hero who knows? I'm sure Iron-man will have something to say about this.

"Among the potential applications, Cyberdyne is emphasizing helping people with movement disabilities,

 augmenting strength for difficult industrial tasks, disaster rescue, and entertainment." [hPlus]

Oh yeah, theres only going to be 400 of them. So, if you wanna become Iron-man then I'd try to pre-order one right now.

Your getting IE8 whether you like it or not

Okay, you can choose not to download it for now.

But from the third week in April, Microsoft will be rolling out Internet Explorer 8 via. an automatic update, to those who haven't yet installed it. Take a look at the IE Blog if you would like more information.

Me, I'll be sticking with Google Chrome.

Is this the Zune HD?

Breaking news.

Could this supposedly forthcoming Microsoft advertisement indicate the arrival of a Zune HD?

If the following images are to be believed, Microsoft could be treating us a new Zune PMP.

These images are slick, obviously done by a professional designer, more evidence that this is no fake... this, my friends, is the real deal... I'm sure of it.
