Un nouveau James Bond pour le 28 octobre

Cela fait déjà plusieurs mois que la rumeur gronde autour de la possible existence d'un prochain titre James Bond signé Activision. Après le remake de GoldenEye 007 et l'inédit Blood Stone 007, sortis en fin d'année dernière, on s'attend donc à l'annonce d'un James Bond Reloaded, du moins si l'on en croit les noms de domaine déposés au mois de juin. Activision s'est en tout cas bien gardé de confirmer ou d'infirmer l'information, mais l'apparition du jeu sur le site de ventes en ligne Amazon semble bien confirmer la chose. Et ce James Bond : GoldenEye Reloaded y écope même d'une date de sortie sur PS3 et Xbox 360, fixée au 28 octobre prochain !

Un Mortal Kombat au complet

Rien n'est perdu pour vous si vous êtes passé à côté de l'excellent Mortal Kombat sorti en avril dernier sur PS3 et Xbox 360. En effet, l'organisme britannique chargé des classifications, le BBFC, nous apprend qu'un certain Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition serait en préparation. Cette nouvelle version débarquerait même le 17 février prochain chez nos collègues british. Sans être devin, on peut supposer que cette fameuse édition comprendrait le jeu de base et les différents DLC déjà sortis. Plusieurs personnages ont ainsi fait leur apparition après coup en tant que contenus téléchargeables, c'est le cas de Skarlet, Rain, Kenshi et du cauchemardesque Freddy Krueger. Il ne nous reste donc plus qu'à croiser les doigts en espérant qu'ils soient bel et bien présents dans cette Komplete Edition.

Sprint extends its 4G device innovation with the upcoming availability of the 20th 4G device and fourth 4G phone, Nexus S 4G from Google. Coming to Sprint this spring, it will also be able to take advantage of the controls and services enabled by Google Voice integration built into the Sprint Network.

Manufactured by Samsung, Nexus S 4G comes packed with a pure Google experience using Android 2.3, Gingerbread, the fastest version of Android available for smartphones. It is powered by a 1GHz Samsung application processor that produces rich 3D-like graphics, faster upload and download times and supports HD-like multimedia content along with a dedicated Google Voice makes it easy for people to manage and access most of their voice-based communication. It lets users manage up to six different phones through one number with intelligent call routing and advanced features like call screening, blocking and recording.

National Provides Security for Notebooks With Its SafeKeeper Trusted I O Device

IBM Is First Manufacturer to Equip Notebooks With National’s Trusted Platform Module

National Semiconductor announced today that IBM selected National’s SafeKeeper Notebook Trusted Input/Output security device for IBM’s latest notebook computer, the IBM ThinkPad T43.
Announced January 19, IBM’s thin and light ThinkPad T43 features a multi-layered security approach for managing ever-increasing security threats. National’s SafeKeeper Notebook Trusted Input/Output (I/O) device, based on the industry-standard Trusted Platform Module, provides the foundation for this layered secure computing infrastructure and helps IBM’s customers protect their notebooks from hackers and Trojan horse viruses. The Trusted I/O device stores vital elements of the computer’s identity in silicon, making it virtually impossible for outsiders to read or modify that information.

“National and IBM recognize that intellectual property must be protected on notebooks no matter where a company’s employees are located,” said Jonathan Levy, general manager of National’s Advanced PC Division. “With IBM’s desktop PCs already relying on National’s SafeKeeper technology, their customers can be assured that they have secure industry-standard products whether they are in the office or on-the-go.”

Unlike other security hardware, National’s Trusted I/O devices integrate a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), Super I/O and embedded firmware to implement industry-standard Trusted Computing Group security functions. TPMs are microcontrollers that securely store passwords, digital certificates and encryption keys for PCs and other systems. These devices, which comply with Trusted Computing Group (TCG) specifications, can be used to protect computer software, such as BIOS, operating systems and applications, from unauthorized snoopers or malicious attacks. IBM has used TPMs since 1999.

National’s Notebook Trusted I/O security device is based on its embedded 16-bit CompactRISC core technology. It resides on the low-pin-count (LPC) bus, an ideal place for integration because it sits at the intersection of input devices to the PC. Pin- and software-compatibility with the company’s current Super I/O products allows system engineers to easily create dual-system designs that can accept either part. This gives manufacturers the flexibility to design “TPM-ready” systems without designing in an additional empty socket.
