New Burning Building gameplay trailer for the upcoming Far Cry 3 game has been released and it looks absolutely terrifying. This trailer actually reminds me of a horror movie. Jason and Lisa are trapped inside a burning building and Jason has to find his way to save Lisa, while going through the fire and traps and stuff. Kind of like a scene from Max Payne.

When talking about graphics, it looks better than before and also the gameplay looks pretty intense too. Check out the trailer to see all the fire and action. As a bonus,  I’ve shared a previously released gameplay trailer to keep you guys company. Have fun.

In the very last second before the Falcon 9 rocket take off, the SpaceX has aborted the long-awaited historical launch after finding nine main engines of the rocket on fire.  SpaceX has been the first commercial company ever to make this project to send a spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS). All their making history plans were doomed today after this technical issue.

“We had a nominal ignition for all nine (engines),” said Gwynne Shotwell, president of SpaceX “Engine 5 started fine and (its chamber pressure) started trending high.” 

But, these guys aren’t ready to give up yet. The SpaceX Team is now planning for the next attempt on May 22nd, which is only few days away. So, stay tuned for the latest info’s.

The revolutionary Korean-based mobile innovator , Samsung has now found a new way to make a new Graphene device structure to develop better and faster transistors that can overcome the limits of conventional silicon.

Many researchers have only been trying to improve the performance of semiconductors for many years by reducing the size of individual transistors. But it only made it slightly better. Now Samsung believes they are nearing to invent a new method to scale down, which would make a bigger difference in the technology.

Since graphene possesses electron mobility about 200 times greater than that of silicon, it has been considered a potential substitute. Although one issue with graphene is that, unlike conventional semiconducting materials, current cannot be switched off because it is semi-metallic. This has become the key issue in realizing graphene transistors. Both on and off flow of current is required in a transistor to represent “1” and “0” of digital signals. Previous solutions and research have tried to convert graphene into a semi-conductor. However, this radically decreased the mobility of graphene, leading to skepticism over the feasibility of graphene transistors.

Researchers at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology  are now making their way to improve this new technology to invent a new and advanced way to a faster technology in the future.

Sony’s Tablet P was one of the unsuccessful devices that actually didn’t make any fuss for the past few months. Even the company itself admitted that the device didn’t fulfill their aspects. Well, that doesn’t mean that everyone who got the device already will be left out because the company is now planning to roll out the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Sony Tablet P starting May 24th, which would definitely help to spice things up a little bit. New update will come with few new improved features and few other capabilities including the ”Small Apps” feature, and many more.

I know you must be thinking about that giant turtle Facebook hoax after seeing this title but, I’m not talking about that fake story. This one is actually real. Recently a group of scientists have discovered the remains of a 60-million-year-old turtle in a Colombian coal mine. They call it the Carbonemys cofrinii aka “coal turtle.”

“We had recovered smaller turtle specimens from the site, but after spending about four days working on uncovering the shell, I realized that this particular turtle was the biggest anyone had found in this area for this time period — and it gave us the first evidence of giant-ism in freshwater turtles.” Edwin Cadena, a North Carolina State doctoral student who discovered the turtle, said in a press release.

According to the scientists, this turtle’s shell was large enough to be the size of a small swimming pool and even believes it must have ate animals like crocodiles to survive. They say that this one is only just a smaller turtle of the species and believes that even bigger turtles have lived millions of years ago alongside with dinosaurs.

Samsung’s latest flagship, Galaxy S III is still on pre-orders while everyone’s waiting for May 29th release to get their hands on this device. Well, apparently some people couldn’t wait messing with the device and it  has already been rooted ahead of the launch. According to the  XDA member Chainfire who posted the information, it works really fine and he says that rooting Galaxy S III was  ‘relatively easy’  compared to other smartphones.

Still, it hasn’t been revealed how the rooting process has been done but it will be available to all of us pretty soon.

Something weird happened at the Moscow premiere of Men in Black 3. A male reporter gave a little too much of a warm welcome to Will Smith and tried to kiss him on the mouth, which apparently pissed Will off. So what he did? He just slap the guy. Check it out, it’s all on video.

Personally I think its bit of an over reacting to a simple thing, I mean he didn’t have to slap the guy off.  But do you wanna know what I really think? I think this is just a set up. Yeah, Just a cheap shot to promote the movie.

Just when Microsoft tried to revive Bing search with more new techniques, Google has rolled out a new features that beats down Bing even before they release the new update. This new feature is called Knowledge Graph. It’s actually a new system that makes searching more easier, giving out a brief explanation about your search related subject, without having to click on any links or go though any web pages

Lets say you search for a movie. For instance, up there, I searched for Prometheus and came up with all the information about the upcoming Prometheus movie in the side bar on the right. Description from Wikipedia, along with release date, information about the cast, links to other related search and many more. It actually makes searching more easy and also saves up time. I don’t know how Google came up with this idea, but its brilliant.

 ”Google’s Knowledge Graph isn’t just rooted in public sources such as Freebase, Wikipedia and the CIA World Factbook. It’s also augmented at a much larger scale—because we’re focused on comprehensive breadth and depth. It currently contains more than 500 million objects, as well as more than 3.5 billion facts about and relationships between these different objects. And it’s tuned based on what people search for, and what we find out on the web.”

I’m really starting to feel sorry for Bing. By the time they reach the level of Google today, Google will be way past inventing time traveling. Check out the video to see the intro.
