Posted by c0d3r in Gamers Den, Games.add a comment
Yes, as odd as this may seem, it seems that will be the case afterall! It seems that according to producer Ben Cousins, the community of players plays few maps nore often then others….. so instead of blowing away their heads off making many maps, the ppl over at EA have decided to make TWO Best Maps.

SIMS 3 - More Details unveiled! March 7, 2008

Here are some changes that are incorporated in the new Sims-3. Enjoy!
1) The biggest change to The Sims 3 is that it takes place in a wide-open, constantly changing neighborhood — a much bigger sandbox, if you will, and a much more complex simulation. The town and park you see on the cover image to the right (click to enlarge) exist in the same seamless space as your Sims’ household, and what you do outside your home now matters as much as what you do within. Previous expansion packs added out-and-about activities, but they were always separate sub-games. Here, everything’s completely integrated
2) The Sims’ now report of their moods - the maddening individual meters are gone, replaced by “discrete moods”, which is supposed to stop the more narcissistic players from constantly worrying about pissing and eating and instead let them focus on the more enjoyable stuff.
3) The game also sees a major shift in how Sims’ motives are handled: Individual meters indicating bladder and sleep-deprivation levels are replaced by a new system of discrete moods, the aim being to get players off the treadmill of fulfilling primal eat-sleep-pee-repeat requirements so they can focus more on, well, going out on the brand new town.
And a lot more is expected …………

Microsoft Releases Singularity: The Research Targeted operating System March 5, 2008

No, its not a replacement of Vista, or Xp, its not even meant for the normal user Desktop computer. Singularity Operating System, released by Microsoft, is “a research operating system prototype (called Singularity), extending programming languages, and developing new techniques and tools for specifying and verifying program behavior” says the homepage of the Singularity project.
A detailed explanation from Microsoft is given below:
“Advances in languages, compilers, and tools open the possibility of significantly improving software. For example, Singularity uses type-safe languages and an abstract instruction set to enable what we call Software Isolated Processes (SIPs). SIPs provide the strong isolation guarantees of OS processes (isolated object space, separate GCs, separate runtimes) without the overhead of hardware-enforced protection domains. In the current Singularity prototype SIPs are extremely cheap; they run in ring 0 in the kernel’s address space.
