GamingRe: Is The Current Generation Of Consoles Staying For Too Long? by 4llerbuntu(m): 1:13pm On Jul 12, 2012
The Ouya and WII U are not really the "next gen" consoles. they are not aimed at that market segment.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/12/triple-screen-gaming-rigs-analyzed-deemed-attainable/

Can't help salivating over gaming setups with three screens? The Tech Report knows your hunger, and aims to satiate your cravings with a detailed look at the triple-display efforts of Gigabyte's GeForce GTX 680 OC and ASUS' Radeon HD 7970 DirectCU II Top.

The high-end GPUs ran Battlefield 3, Arkham City, Rage and a few other games through the wringer -- competing on temperature, game performance, noise level and more -- outputting each title in a glorious extra-wide resolution, with a few quirks on the side.

The Tech Report emerged from the gauntlet reluctant to relinquish its additional displays, extolling the trial as the first "next-generation gaming experience" they've had in a while.

What's this mean for you? The author sums it up nicely: "In a few short years, surround gaming has gone from being somewhat of an exotic luxury to something far more attainable." If snagging a multi-panel gaming setup is your goal, venture on to the source below where an unabridged, 11-page breakdown awaits.

PhonesRe: How Does Airtel BIS Promo For 2,800 Really Work? by 4llerbuntu(m): 1:07pm On Jul 12, 2012
brianromel: working fine on my end, check the settings on ur phone. check your balance with *141*1*1# then enter 1.

Airtel is worth it by far. Not unlimited though but worth it.

Was able to download ice cream sandwitch roms for my android a10 tablets total size 547mb for the two files from megaupload.

Total time of download 23mins, impressive by my standards considering that the download was done around 2:26pm in the afternoon and it was in my area around ishaga not island. Impressive, though i did have like it if it was unlimited.

PhonesRe: Android, Anyone? Part II by 4llerbuntu(m): 12:58pm On Jul 12, 2012
SAFO: OUYA, has bust written all over it. The changing landscape of hardware upgrades is just too quick with Android. By the time this thing releases the specs would have been on the verge of extinction. Furthermore, games are not designed for TV displays and there's really no incentive for developers to make stand alone games for OUYA.

It sounds good in theory but I just don't see people rushing out to buy a cheap gaming console that might be obsolete in 6 mths. If I want to game on my tv, that's what I have an xbox for.
Well that was my thought too at the onset. but upon considering it for a while i realised

the device is NOT designed to rival the consoles. matter of fact, by next year the consoles will get new releases which will even nearly double the present capacity and abilities. so obviously no one can begin to think this will rival them.

This device is open source. consider the possibilities endless

There is no rule that states that this device will not have updated specs in the future, even at launch.

Kickstarter is a way to raise funds, not the final determinant of what the product will be.

the Apps though may be simple, but never underestimate the value of any software by its size, cost or simplicity. angry birds has more players than MW3 and very likely makes more money. Minecraft does not hold a candle to COD, but its more popular
Brick game got nothing on gameboy really, but need i say more? grin grin

we do not know to what extent this device will be taken by independent developers. never underestimate what they can achieve.

it is cheap.

apps will mostly be free. (NOTHING BEATS FREE) grin grin grin


This is kinda like when android was going to be launched by google. it didnt seem like such a hot idea.........

it is gonna be a much better and easier choice instead of splurging thousands on big consoles

Windows V Linux........ discuss.


bottom line is, this thing is not going anywhere soon. the worlds first opensource video game console? hell no
PhonesRe: Android, Anyone? Part II by 4llerbuntu(m): 12:48pm On Jul 12, 2012
Just thought id share this information.


as i know most of us are always whining about the battery life, every little counts.

one of the reasons why the battery dies so quick is the radio, especially on 3G mode like most phones anyway (3G consumes more juice), but often overlooked is the issue of signal strength!!

the lower the network signal you are connected to is, the more effort your phone tries to stay connected. its particularly worse when there is no signal and the phone keeps on trying to search and connect to a network.

therefore, pls take into consideration also before whining about your phone battery, the signal level of your environment.
when in buildings or areas with low or bad reception, note that your battery is dying.


what you can do in this situations is to change to GSM mode only, or better still switch off data completely, leaving just the gsm network on.

if there is no service at all, it is better you put your phone in airplane mode. . . . . . . there is no point letting it continually search for networks.

this also applies to wifi too btw.

and if you permanently reside in a place of bad reception, pls understand that it also contributes to your bad battery life. STOP WHINING

PoliticsRe: Patience Jonathan Appointed Perm. Sec By Bayelsa Governor by 4llerbuntu(m): 11:58am On Jul 12, 2012
http://dailypost.com.ng/2012/07/12/why-appointed-mrs-jonathan-permanent-secretary-bayelsa-state-government/


The Bayelsa State Government yesterday explained why the wife of Nigeria incumbent President, Mrs. Dame Patience Jonathan was appointed as permanent secretary in the state.

The first lady, who is an indigene of Okirika in River state, got her appointment letter signed by the Head of Civil Service of Bayelsa State, Mrs Gloria Izonfo.

A Senior Special Assistant to Governor Dickson on Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Mackson Iworiso said the First Lady got the new promotion [size=18pt]due to her long service transferred from the Rivers State Civil Service to the Bayelsa Civil Service.[/size]

Iworiso described the appointment as routine action in the Civil Service.

Also, according to a letter signed by the Head of Civil service said: “By the Constitutional power conferred on the state Governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson, in section 203 sub section 2c, Dame Patience Jonathan and Seventeen others were elevated to the position of Permanent Secretary in the State Civil Service”.

Dame Jonathan obtained the National Certificate of Education (NCE) in Mathematics/ Biology in 1989 from the Rivers State College of Education and a Bachelor of Education in Biology and Psychology from the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

She worked in Teaching, Banking and as a Sports Administrator in the State Civil-Service. She was First Lady of Bayelsa State.

[size=18pt]
Mrs. Jonathan is now the first Nigerian first Lady to be appointed into a position reserved mainly for senior civil servants.
[/size]

However, 17 other civil servants were also appointed by the State Governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson as permanent secretaries.

The other appointees are Mr.J.E. Oye, Samson Ayibeboa, Mrs. Antonia Koroye, Ziwari Billie, Buruboyefa John, Mrs Dikuro Ayebameh, Serge Williams, Olu Kuruom, G.I.Izein, Mrs.Philomena Alodie, Dr. Omietimi Kojo, Ese Izonebi, Ohougha Maythias, James Clinton, Mrs. Linnet Tebepah, Moses Teibowei, Dr. A. Sanayi and Vivian Odiwei.

@ Op dude go and buy the samsung solar powered mini. retails for around 60k tho.

the battery life is around 7-9 hrs, plus you then get the added benefit of the solar panel to charge on the fly without PHCN power.

The asterisked stations are language challenged.

so quite obviously, unless you are a big africa magic fan and thats ALL you watch on tv, there is no way in the world GOTV is a better deal to startimes.

people need to stop peddling lies and halftruths about. its pretty annoying. both platforms dont really offer anything outstanding, but it is definitely a lie to argue that GOTV is better at present

and need i say, startimes actually uses NTA infrastructure. their main investment is in the multimedia center installtion in abuja, and sourcing for stations(paying if at all, as most of those stations are free to air)

so tell me, how is Multichoice going to price them out of the market?

ur head dey correct jare

dem go just dey yarn as if them get exclusive to the things in question.

by the way i challenge anyone to list the GOTV channels and use them to critique star tv!

we have had this discussion before. other than personal preference, there is no practical difference and star tv actually trumps them sef.

DSTV is not going to put any sensible station on gotv na, y would they? u want them to spoil the dish market?

No you can actually brick a phone in many ways depending on the phone model.
its just that there are two types of bricks, soft and hard

softbrick is caused by software issues, easy undone by flashing.

hard brick is usually caused by hardware manipulation. usually difficult or impossible to undo.



dont use HTC tho, but will try help you research.

what is the model number of the phone?

Is the phone powering up at all?

Does it display anything.

Does it have any indication that if it powers up, its working but not displaying?

Have you tried using another battery or charging the battery outside the phone?

Does the phone charge if plugged it (display charging light)?

texazzpete: Quick answer? Na you English teacher no good.

Dead Trigger is a fantastic looking game with boring, repetitive mediocre gameplay. That's totally unrelated to the fact that my 320dpi Galaxy S3 (and also my previous HTC One X) is not compatible with many apps I truly want. From GTA 3 to NBA Jam to Need for Speed and a few others, updates are required to the apps to support my device. Some XDA guys have been able to increase compatibility by using a tweak to change DPI to 240 or so, but i'm not keen on such an inelegant workaround.

I recall early adopters of the Galaxy Note had that issue too.
YIMU!!

then complain about the people who make the games.
they should update their games, google does not make the games.

if you are paying for those games then you should call or email them to get off the arses and update the game! if pple can be hacking it to work, i see no reason why it will be hard for the makers to do so!!
