One of the newest and coolest hardware that making noise right now is Sifteo’s Sifteo cubes.

Here is my old post about the preview of Mortal Kombat: Legacy (It was called Rebirth before but changed to Legacy), please read it before watching this video to get an Idea. (Click this paragraph)

Here is the Video of the first Web Episode:

Like the first leg, this game was thrilling from end to end. Chelsea was looking for the win as they gambled with Fernando Torres starting over the lethal Didier Drogba. The game turned exciting late when Chelsea scored an equalizer and just needed one more goal to advance to the semi final, but they were caught with their pants down as Manchester United was back in the lead aminute after.

I decided not to do a analysis on the first leg of this matchup because it was completely a one sided affair, and it seems hard to write an analysis that is full of praises at one team.

The second game was much closer compared to the first leg as Shakhtar pressured Barcelona’s defense. It was a gutsy performance by the Ukrainian side but alas, in the end, it was still a Barcelona victory

One of the top stories for the last 24 hours in the world of technology is the settlement of Sony and George Hotz.

I was looking for a new gaming keyboard for a while now, I was really disappointed with my past keyboard, the OCZ Alchemy Elixir, it had faulty software with Windows 7 and just plain bad hardware design especially its polling algorithm.

So I was researching for keyboard, there are few simple rules I follow when buying a keyboard, 1) Never buy a Razer Product (I Simply hate Razer products, their product is over expensive, the so called feature(s) can easily be found on a cheaper hardware *and works much better than Razer's, Software and Hardware are faulty and does not work well) *Don’t believe me, ask the forums, not those Razer fan boy forums, of course they will defend Razer because they are the few who bought it and had to live with their poor choice. 2) It should have tons of Macro buttons, If you haven't use macros,  you are truly missing out. 3) It should have a backlight, I rarely turn the lights up on my room. 4) It should have Media Control Buttons, I don't like having to exert myself to use a mouse then point the pointer to those small media buttons just to pause or stop a movie I’m watching.

* If you don’t know what is the Cucchiaio, Totti’s signature move, it is basically a dipping lob shot.

Match Analysis:

This game was done after the 15th minute, as Tottenham were only able to produce 1 good chance after Peter Crouch was sent  off. As expected, Real Madrid was too much for Harry Redknapp’s boys as they were toy around by the Los Blancos. The 2nd half was like seeing an amateur team against a professional team as Tottenham did nothing offensively but defend to no avail as they conceded 4 goals.

I was in awe when I was watching this match, Schalke dominated the second half by pushing the ball on the flanks with no support from Inter’s attacking midfielders, it was left to Julio Cesar and his Defense to stop Schalke’s attack, which by the way, resulted to one of the worst defensive performance this season. Inter’s defense was unorganized, slow and was simply overpowered by the small Schalke’s offense. Raul turned back time and channeled his prime form, and Edu, the former Suwon Bluewing, was the best player in the game with 2 nice goals to his credit.

A group of hackers is threating Sony that they will hack their website and the PlayStation store.

It seems that Anonymous is demanding that Sony would allow free distribution of information, in other words, allow piracy and jailbreaks.

This is a response by Anonymous to Sony’s action against George Hotz (legal actions), the one who first cracked the internal gates of the PS3.
