Warner Bros. Interactive and NetherRealm Studios have released “Shadows”, the new trailer for upcoming ultra-gore fest Mortal Kombat to be released in 2011 for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Opening with classic characters shadows fighting each other to Disturbed’s new single “Another Way to Die”, it will get you as pumped for the game as we are at Techgeek.
iTunes 10 is now available for download off Apple Website. However, it appears the download page is having some identity crisis as it switches between iTunes 9 and iTunes 10. So jump on the website and download iTunes 10 right now. If it shows iTunes 9, then refresh the page and it will show iTunes 10. Weird right? This only appears to be an issue when downloading it for Mac OS X. The Windows page still only shows iTunes 9.2.1
If that doesn’t work.. I’ve included the link below. It downloaded and installed fine for me!
Download iTunes 10 for Mac OS X
Note the item to the right is a screenshot.
UPDATE: iTunes 10 is now available for Mac and PC via Software Update or the Apple Website.

In Halo Reach, players can customise Spartans as well as Elites, although, the customisation for Elites is limited as the player can only change the Elite’s appearance by ‘sets’. In other words, you cannot change the Elite’s shoulders, helmet, and armour like in Halo 3. This is because Reach focuses more on Spartans, rather than Elites.
Plasma Pistol: The plasma pistol has the ability to overcharge and shoot a very strong ball of energy that can lock onto an enemy. If the charged up ‘blob’ hits your enemy, it will completely drain their shields. This weapon is not recommended as it’s main purpose is to take out someone’s shields. Although in the Halo Reach Multiplayer Beta, The Plasma seemed much more stronger, but it is unknown whether the power of this weapon will be changed. This is almost exclusively used for short range combat
Plasma Repeater: The plasma repeater is a strong plasma weapon, which is like the Plasma Rifle (Only in Campaign), but a more larger, stronger version. The new plasma rifle has a longer shooting range and can do as much damage as the UNSC’s Assault Rifle. It has a high rate of fire and can kill opponents fairly quickly. This weapon can overheat if fired non-stop and will need to be cool down before you can use it again. The plasma rifle is a short to medium range weapon.
Focus Rifle: The focus rifle is literally a beam rifle, that fires a lot like the sentinel beam in Halo 3. The main difference is that it has a scoping feature. The beam rifle is very effective at long range but it can also be used at short range. The major disadvantage for the weapon is that the beam can be seen from almost any were from any map. This is one of the weaker power weapons but if used efficiently can be used to grab a few kills and support teammates.
The Android OS has come quite a way from its launch on the HTC Dream. Lately, we have seen plans for Android tablets, Android gaming phones and now Android PMP’s. Archos, a French consumer electronics maker, are producing an Android powered PMP called the Archos 28 Minidroid which they have submitted it to the FCC.
According to the pictures they included in the FCC application, it’s around 10x8cm’s with touch screen that is around 3 inches big. It also has WiFi capabilities, 3.5mm headphone jack and a mini USB port for USB connectivity. That is about all we know at the moment. We hope to see more of these devices popping up to compete with the iPod’s market dominance.
RUMOUR MILL: We have been hearing rumors that there might be some sort of a smaller iPad on the way but now these rumours are starting to seem more true. A DigiTimes article says that this smaller iPad is due to be realised around the end of the year and is set to feature a 1024×768 pixel 7″ IPS display, be powered by a Cortex A9 processor paired with 512 MB of RAM.
I am wondering, if this is actually true, whether this turn into the iPad 2nd Gen because of the original iPad’s complaints about usability or whether this will turn into some sort of iPad Nano.
When the National Broadband Network was announced, we were told that it would reach speeds of 100 Mbps but now NBN Co. has come out saying that the NBN will reach speeds of 1 Gbps meaning that the NBN will be 100 times faster than originally planned and just under 170 times faster than the average ADSL connection.
Even though the NBN is getting a huge speed increase, the costing for the network remains the same, $43 billion. This is because the feature to provide faster speeds is already built into the equipment that NBN Co. are using. The speed of the NBN can be upgraded to get even faster internet in the future.
The NBN would be sold to retailers at 1 Gbps with no limit on downloads though this is unlikely to be passed through to consumers as some ISP’s like Internode say it is unreasonable for consumers to have unlimited downloads.

Thanks to the Government’s Classification Review System, Halo: Reach has been modified for Australia audiences.
Currently there are no reports on what has been modified but something drastic must have been done if Halo: Reach now has an MA15+ rating here, where the other Halo titles only received an M15+. Has Bungie added in anything too mature for Australian gamers?
“Strong Violence, Gaming experience may change online” – The only given reason why it has been modified.
Microsoft today revealed that their new Kinect motion gaming system will go on sale for $199 and it will be released in Australia before Christmas. Microsoft also announced today that they will bundle a four gigabyte XBOX 360 with the Kinect system and will sell for $449.
As we have previously mentioned Kinect Adventures, Kinectimals, Kinect Sports, Joyride and Dance Central will come out as launch titles. Your Shape: Fitness Evolved, Ubisoft’s own fitness game to take on the Wii Fit, will also be launched along with around ten other games for the Kinect system.
There have been reports that there are more problems with the iPhone, but this time its with the iPhone 3G. iPhone 3G users have been saying that after a software update, their iPhone is sluggish and in some cases, barely usable.
The update that is causing this is Apple’s new iOS4 which they say “makes the iPhone more powerful, easier to use, and more indispensable than ever”. However, i’m sure there are many iPhone 3G users willing to debate that. Users say that the phone lags behind when using apps and sometimes the phone just freezes.
This iOS4 update wasn’t even optional, the phone just updates when it is plugged in to the computer. It gets worse when you find out that you can’t reverse the changes and are stuck with a barely usable iPhone.
This begs the question, how could this sort of problem get through Apple’s testing or maybe there just isn’t any. Maybe Apple are trying to sabotage the 3G in order to get customers to upgrade to their new iPhone when it comes out. Certainly good timing for a dodgy update to come out, just as the iPhone 4 is about to be released in multiple countries world wide.
If you have fallen victim to this update, click here to find out how you can get rid of iOS4 and restore iPhone 3.1.3
World Cup fever. It’s everywhere. No seriously. Go down the street, a stroll in the park, the shopping mall, ANYWHERE, and you will find some form of World Wup support. Now Google has boarded the train by adding a little soccer ball on every YouTube video (well not every, only the ones that use Google’s new YouTube scrubber) that audio-overlays the vuvuzela sound heard during World Cup broadcasts. While annoying to some, it is quite amusing to observe such videos with the South-African-World-Cup-unique-sound harping over the top of video.
