Next Gen Hitman Game :D

Hitman Absolution

The badass with a barcode is back... A possible trademark for the name, Hitman: Profession, was filed in Europe in December 2011. On January 6, 2014 it was reported through IGN that Square Enix Montreal will be working to develop tablet and smartphone Hitman games.
On the 16 January 2014 an open letter was filed by IO Interactive for the fans, sharing details on the next game.


Here is the letter:

"Dear Hitman fans,
We wanted to share this open letter with all of you out there eagerly awaiting more news about what’s happening next in the franchise.
At Io-Interactive right now, we are building the next AAA Hitman game for PC and next-gen consoles. It has our total focus and we wanted to take a moment to tell you a few things about it.
In the next game you will experience a globetrotting Agent 47 at the prime of his career – the apex predator stalking his prey across the world, with the support of his long-term handler Diana Burnwood and the whole of the ICA.
The game concentrates on the core Hitman fantasy of using a wide range of tools to take out a diverse group of targets across expansive, exotic locations around the world. We are building this game on the backbone of the Glacier 2 engine, using the best parts and what we have learnt through Hitman: Absolution and drawing inspiration from past titles like Contracts and Blood Money to fulfil the core Hitman fantasy. That means we’re packing in an extreme level of detail on the largest levels we have ever built for a Hitman game. We’ve adopted an open, non-linear level design approach to the game, ensuring the game will play out across huge, checkpoint-free, sandbox levels. Our aim is to create living, breathing and believable levels which will allow gamers to play around with the AI to create those unique moments every fan of the Hitman franchise loves.
Contracts Mode is back – you will be able to create and build challenges by experimenting with the large levels and possibilities within them. And of course, you can share them with the world and challenge your friends or foes to complete your hits. Your rules, your Contracts.
You will also be glad to hear that we have removed 47’s magic pockets. We believe that’s all we need to say about that subject.
As we get further into 2014, we will reveal more and get into much closer contact with all of you. There are so many things we have planned and we are extremely excited for the future of Hitman.
Thank you all for your dedication. We will share much, much more in the coming months.
The Io-Interactive Team"

Learning Phishing

Hello Readers,
Today im going to give you a brief idea about Phishing. This will also include a tutorial on how to acquire sensitive information by using phishing*

Razer:Project Christine

Razer, the famous gaming accessories maker unveiled its  Project Christine which consists of central tower spine chassis into which users can slot in a combination of modules of their choosing to provide the CPU, GPU, Storage options and more....

Mobile Computing Redifined

                                Nvidia Showdown 

192 cores this is certainly a beast and a beauty . Yes imagine playing pc like games on your PDA very much reality in 2014.

Quoting NVIDIA -"The innovative new Tegra K1 processor features the same high-performance, power-efficient NVIDIA Kepler™-based GPU that drives the world's most powerful supercomputers and PC gaming systems. This means you can now count on even more unbelievable graphics performance, powerful computing, and truly unique features in every Tegra K1-powered mobile device. -"

Specifications at a glance-

TEGRA K1 PROCESSOR SPECIFICATIONS

	Tegra K1
GPU
NVIDIA® Kepler™ Architecture	192 NVIDIA CUDA® Cores
CPU
CPU Cores and Architecture	NVIDIA 4-Plus-1™ Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A15 "r3"
Max Clock Speed	2.3 GHz
Memory
Memory Type	DDR3L and LPDDR3
Max Memory Size	8 GB (with 40-bit address extension)
Display

HDMI	4K (UltraHD, 4096x2160)
Package
Package Size/Type	23x23 FCBGA 16x16 S-FCCSP 15x15 FC PoP
Process	28 nm

This the first in line innovative mobile gpu we will be looking forward in 2014. Certainly worth getting hands on.

In order for the Tegra K1 to gain full acceptance in the developer community, device makers might need to come together and see if they can come up with some sort of controller standard that will make it easier on developers to produce games that run seamlessly on multiple controllers. Touch-screen interfaces are one thing. But if companies want to build hardware controllers that control titles on-screen, and Nvidia gets its way with dozens of companies building set-top boxes, an industry standard would be necessary.

But Nothing Is Going to Change Soon

As great as the Tegra K1 sounds, it won't be an immediate game-changer. Nvidia will deliver a 32-bit version of the K1 in the first half of 2014. The 64-bit option will be available by year's end, assuming all goes well with chip yields. From there, device makers need to integrate the chip into their products, bundle their software and start the marketing process. The new-generation console competitors might not hit the market for a year or more. Some industry veterans suspect that it will be at least three to five years before mobile devices could ever take on the dedicated consoles—partly because of power-consumption problems with these new high-end chips. For now, not much will change. But at some point, everything could change.

 Still fingers crossed :)

@Changing for the good.

CES 2014

Intel confirms Dual OS computers that run both Windows and Android

It barely got a mention at Intel's CES 2014 press conference this evening, but Dual OS is real. The company confirmed that Intel processors will power computers that can switch between Windows and Android with the press of a button, just like the Asus Transformer Book Duet we tried earlier today. Intel demonstrated the technology on a laptop during the company's press conference, right after introducing "Intel Device Protection Technology," an idea that should help Intel-based Android devices meet corporate standards for enterprise security.

Intel isn't the only company pursuing Windows and Android in the same device here at CES, however. Earlier today, AMD announced a partnership with BlueStacks to run fullscreen and windowed Android apps within Windows itself, with the help of an ARM processor core inside new AMD chips that can run some Android code natively. That sounds more like the experience we had with the Samsung Ativ Q's combination of Windows and Android back in June — though that technology was branded "Dual OS" rather than identifying itself as a BlueStacks solution.
