AR Cards Page Now Live with More Info and Special Downloads
Every Nintendo 3DS system comes packed with six AR Cards. Launch the built-in AR Games™ application and place an AR Card on a flat surface, and, looking through your Nintendo 3DS Camera, you'll see characters and game content appearing right on your kitchen table, your backyard patio, or anywhere else that you can think of. Pull out the Mario™ card to see everyone's favorite Nintendo® hero, or use the Question Block card to pose and take 3D photos with your Mii™ character, or play a number of exciting built-in games. The possibilities are endless, so experiment and have fun!
Also look out for current and upcoming games that feature new and exciting uses for AR Cards, including Pokédex™ 3D, Kid Icarus™: Uprising, and more.
Discover even more fun uses for AR Cards with these downloadable versions of the Question Block AR Card in larger sizes. Your Nintendo 3DS system displays content via the AR Card at a size relative to that of the image on the card—so the bigger your printed card, the bigger your game content. Imagine posing for a photo with a life-sized Mii™, sitting on the couch right next to you!

OK so most of us know that Apple OSX and Linux have had Multiple Virtual Desktops for years now. I thought about it and just couldn’t work out why this feature was not available in Microsoft Windows as standard.
After a little hunting around I did find a lightweight program that does the job. It’s actually a free download on the Microsoft TechNet site called Desktops.
Desktops allows you to organize your applications on up to four virtual desktops. Read email on one, browse the web on the second, and do work in your productivity software on the third, without the clutter of the windows you’re not using. After you configure hotkeys for switching desktops, you can create and switch desktops either by clicking on the tray icon to open a desktop preview and switching window, or by using the hotkeys.
Using Desktops
Unlike other virtual desktop utilities that implement their desktops by showing the windows that are active on a desktop and hiding the rest, Sysinternals Desktops uses a Windows desktop object for each desktop. Application windows are bound to a desktop object when they are created, so Windows maintains the connection between windows and desktops and knows which ones to show when you switch a desktop. That making Sysinternals Desktops very lightweight and free from bugs that the other approach is prone to where their view of active windows becomes inconsistent with the visible windows.
Desktops reliance on Windows desktop objects means that it cannot provide some of the functionality of other virtual desktop utilities, however. For example, Windows doesn’t provide a way to move a window from one desktop object to another, and because a separate Explorer process must run on each desktop to provide a taskbar and start menu, most tray applications are only visible on the first desktop. Further, there is no way to delete a desktop object, so Desktops does not provide a way to close a desktop, because that would result in orphaned windows and processes. The recommended way to exit Desktops is therefore to logoff.

Nintendo's celebration of the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda™ series continues in full force with the announcement that The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword will launch in North America on Nov. 20. The epic adventure, created from the ground up for the Wii™ console, sends this storied series to new heights and marks a turning point for the franchise.
The game uses the precision motion controls of the Wii Remote™ Plus (or a Wii Remote controller with a Wii MotionPlus™ accessory) and Nunchuk™ controllers to map on-screen action to the player's movements. When a player swings the Wii Remote Plus controller, Link™ appears to swing his sword in exactly the same way.
Different enemies have different battle tactics, so players must analyze their approach and develop counterattacks that play on the enemies' weaknesses. The game's wide array of items also use full motion controls, letting players roll bombs, shoot arrows and guide flying objects like never before.
The game includes a massive, multilayered world that takes players from dark dungeons to a diverse overworld to cloud cities in the sky, requiring a combination of puzzle-solving and swordplay to unlock all of its secrets. Link soars through the air on the wings of a majestic bird while exploring the game's sky area, providing players with unprecedented freedom of movement as they progress on their adventure. The quest lays the foundation for the events in The Legend of Zelda™: Ocarina of Time™, which is frequently cited as one of the greatest video games of all time.
"The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is the biggest game in the series yet," said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "We've just scratched the surface of this massive experience, and we look forward to sharing additional details with fans as we approach the Nov. 20 launch."
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is now available for pre-order at major retailers throughout North America. A deposit may be required for pre-orders. See individual retailers for details. For more information about the game, visit http://www.zelda.com/skywardsword/.
Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other features, visit http://www.nintendo.com/wii.

One of the great new features of the iPhone 4 is the ability to video call using FaceTime. The down side to FaceTime is the fact you can only use it if you are connected to a WiFi network.
This is the way Apple wants it to work, but there is now a way to override this to allow you to use FaceTime over 3G, it’s easy enough to setup too but it does involve you Jailbreaking your iPhone.
Just a quick reminder that if you Jailbreak your iPhone you will void your warranty, but if you still want to use FaceTime over 3G continue reading.
Using FaceTime over 3G Setup Instructions:
Firstly you need to Jailbreak your iPhone 4.You then need to download the Cydia app called My3G, it will cost you $3.99 but worth every penny. The My3G app will make your iPhone believe it is on Wi-Fi even when it’s using 3G.Use FaceTime as normal from any location, even if WiFi is not available.It really is as simple as that, but the one thing you have to remember is your monthly download limit over 3G which most phone operators have in place.
So just to give you rough idea of how much of your data allowance you will use remember the following……..a 5 minute FaceTime call with lots of movement” uses about 14.7 megabytes of data, or about three megabytes per minute.
I hope this has helped iPhone 4 users get a little more out of FaceTime, if you have any questions or comments please post them below.

Nintendo adds more games to value-minded 'Nintendo Selects' collection for Wii
Consumers and their families soon will be able to experience even more must-play games for the Wii system at an excellent value. Nintendo has announced the addition of four games to the Nintendo Selects collection, a hot-selling series of fun, family-friendly Wii games offered at a suggested retail price of $19.99 each. Starting Aug. 28, the Nintendo Selects lineup grows to include Super Paper Mario, Mario Strikers Charged, Punch-Out!! and Super Mario Galaxy, which is recognized as one of the most acclaimed Wii games of all time.
Already enjoyed by millions of players around the globe, games in the Nintendo Selects collection offer boundless fun at an enticing price for Wii users of any experience level, whether they want to expand their own game libraries or find affordable, fun-packed gifts for loved ones. The Wii console, which comes bundled with the Mario Kart Wii game and the Wii Wheel accessory, delivers extraordinary entertainment value for families and is available for a suggested retail price of $149.99.
Three of the four new additions to the Nintendo Selects collection invite players to interact with Nintendo's iconic Mario character in imaginative and entertaining ways: Super Mario Galaxy is an out-of-this-world adventure in which Mario must travel through outer space to rescue Princess Peach from the devious Bowser; Super Paper Mario offers classic Mario RPG action that can be switched from flat 2D worlds to a full open-world perspective; and Mario Strikers Charged finds the Mushroom Kingdom crew storming the soccer field for fast-paced athletic kicks. Also, the fan-favorite Punch-Out!! game delivers motion-controlled boxing thrills with a host of memorable characters. All four games feature multiplayer modes that let friends and family members have fun together.
Previously announced games in the Nintendo Selects collection include The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Mario Super Sluggers and Wii Sports.

Android Theme – Black Magic for Huawei U8800 / Ideos X5
Well I have had an Android Powered phone since October last year and since then it has been a very steep learning curve when it comes to Rooting, Flashing, Unlocking and all the other modifications you can do with Android Devices.
I thought I would have a go at creating my own Android Theme for the ROM I am currently using which is FLB Custom ROM, which seems to be the most stable for my device.
To try this theme you will need to have a Huawei U8800 / Ideos X5 with ClockworkMod installed. I used the files from the B137 Firmware (Android 2.2.2) to create the theme, but the theme should work with all 2.2 ROMs for the Huawei U8800 / Ideos X5. Just make sure you backup in ClockworkMod before installing this theme.
Theme’s Features:
- HTC Sense Style Notification Area
- Circle Battery Mod
- Sense Style Notification Bar Icons
- Carrier Logo Changed to White
- Clock Changed to White
- Gingerbread Style Launcher
- Bottom Popup Menu Text Colour Changed
Installing Theme:
- Copy Downloaded .zip file to Root of SD Card
- Boot into ClockworkMod (Tested with v4.0.0.5)
- Before you do anything else perform a Backup
- Choose Install Zip from SD Card
- Locate the Themes zip File and Install
- (optional) Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
- Reboot and Enjoy
Download Theme:
You can download the Theme Here: Download
MD5: 67866DAA59DF57C47450B899399A0BFB
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions relating to the theme please let me know below.

How to get an Apple OSX Style Dock in Windows
One thing I like about the Apple OSX Operating System is the Dock which is on the bottom of the OSX Desktop. I find it easy to navigate and customise.
As much as I like the Apple OSX Dock I just can’t justify spending huge sums of money on a Mac. This is when I started looking for a Windows Alternative, this led me to RocketDock.
RocketDock is a great FREE Application that has all if not more functions of the Apple OSX Dock, but is designed to run in Windows. It provides a nice clean interface to drop shortcuts on for easy access and organisation. With each item completely customisable there is no end to what you can add and launch from the dock.
Features:
Minimize windows to the dockReal-time window previews in VistaRunning application indicatorsSimple drag-n-drop interfaceMulti-monitor supportSupports alpha-blended PNG and ICO iconsIcons zoom and transition smoothlyAuto-hide and Popup on mouse overPositioning and layering optionsFully customizableCompletely PortableObjectDock Docklet supportCompatible with MobyDock, ObjectDock, RK Launcher, and Y’z Dock skinsRuns great on slower computersUnicode compliantSupports many languages and can easily be translatedOn the RocketDock website it states that it is not compatible with 64bit Operating Systems, but I am running it fine on Windows 7 x64, so see how you get on.
Download Link: Download RocketDock Here
Let me know how you get on with RocketDock. If you have any problems or questions post them below.

It's been four years since the release of the Nintendo Wii and a lot has been said about the revolutionary and controversial gaming console. Join us as we take a look at all the hype, the hate, and the realities of the Nintendo Wii gaming console.
Not so long ago, the Wii spurred heated debate among fans and detractors alike. Some saw the family friendly games and motion control technology of the Wii as groundbreaking. It was to be the family television of the gaming industry. A Wii for every living room with a joyful family gathered around it. Meanwhile the Sony PS3 and Xbox 360 were seen as outdated and overpriced, appealing only to hardcore gamers.?
On the other hand, many saw the Wii as a step backwards, as the console could hardly compete with the XBOX 360 or the PS3 in terms of hardware. The system was dismissed outright as catering solely to casual gamers. Sony CEO Jack Tretton famously said the Wii was a "lollipop," referring to the system's motion controllers, and that he was "too old for lollipops."?
Four years later, and things have settled down. Gamers on either end of the console-wars spectrum have had to give some ground. Jack Tretton specifically had to eat his words, as Sony announced its own "lollipop" motion controllers for the PS3.?
Hardcore gamers have recognised the appeal of Wii games like Zelda Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime, and the New Super Mario Bros. As for becoming the family gaming giant, Wii activity games like Wii Fit and Wii Music have indeed enjoyed moderate success. However, while Nintendo has been able to compete thus far, time has revealed flaws in the Wii's design.
Recently, the Wii console has seen steady stagnation in terms of game development. Due partially to its hardware limitations, the Wii has isolated many major game studios from producing games for it. The console has also seen much of its limelight stolen by music games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, which offer even greater interactivity than the Wii.?
In fact, far from being the innovator it set out to be, the Wii has launched a multitude of low-budget and clunky games. Meanwhile, the PS3 has rocketed in popularity with decreased console prices and big game releases from big name console and PC developers like Squaresoft and Bioware.?
In the end, the Wii proved to be neither the moon landing of the game industry or the crash-and-burn catastrophe that was predicted. The console introduced many great ideas and broadened the scope of gaming considerably, but it never came close to toppling the goliaths of the gaming industry.

Using the Wii - How to Get the Most From Your Wii Gaming System
When Nintendo first released the Wii, no one really expected it to be much more than just another gaming console. How wrong we all were! The Wii has become a gaming console that appeals to all - young and old. So, how can you get the most from your Wii?
Using the Wii would let you experience the epitome of video games. No one expected it to be used by both the young and older generations alike. Most of the kids that have waited in line for their own Wii have never expected that their parents would also be playing and would compete with their time on the console. What is even more unbelievable is that adults are actually instructed to do it as part of physical therapy. Hence the reconditioning and strengthening of the muscles is one of the ways to get the most of the gaming console. Retraining and retaining balance is aided by balance games. Because of the various accessories that can be utilized for the Wii, games have become more realistic, making it more exciting than a traditional workout.
It may sound hard to believe, but it all makes sense when you take a closer look at the benefits of using the Wii. You can play games from the privacy of your own home and you do not have to drive yourself to a gym. You can fit your playing within a busy schedule and there are a lot of exercises that can fulfill a variety of common goals for therapy. The Wii then is like a huge exercise arena that has been made to fit in a small box.
Using the Wii would also allow you to introduce activities that are both current and have a high usage level for both men and women. The Wii is actually a great form of entertainment which is very versatile. If you are trying to build teamwork of your associates, you can have a corporate dinner night that is Olympic themed. The guests could play the Wii on a rotational basis or do it at their own leisure during the event or after it. Try to improve on the theme by incorporating special effects such as backdrops and lighting.
What is great about using the Wii for this kind of activity is that it can be played by men, women and children of all ages. They can have better interaction with each other since the event would have more fun and energy. Not a lot of gadgets can provide the kind of indoor team exercises that the Wii can provide and if you are not sure on whether or not you are going to provide indoor or outdoor facilities to an event because of the weather, making use of the Wii would be a safe choice.
As you can see, the Wii gaming system can be enjoyed by everyone, no matter your age or coordination. Have you tried the Nintendo Wii yet?

Want to Buy a Wii Without Breaking the Bank?
There's no time like the present to buy a Nintendo Wii. Why, you might ask? Nintendo has recently dropped the price from it's original $250 tag to a much more reasonable $199 price. Not bad for a console that comes with an entire game package!
But take caution before you just go out and buy a Wii. There's a few things you should know. First, it is just plain addicting. I can play for hours without getting bored. Even better, I can have fun with my entire family because the Wii accommodates more than just one or two players like other game consoles.
1. Wii Sports is included: That's right; unlike its competitors that make you buy each game separately, the Wii comes with five sports games to enjoy before you ever need to make another purchase. These include tennis, bowling, golfing, baseball, and boxing.
2. Exercise habit: Forget about buying that treadmill. I sweat way more on my Wii than I do on any exercise equipment I've ever owned. When I first played the Wii, I actually got sore playing it because it took so much muscle to play! So it's a great way to get up and off the couch without buying a membership to your local gym.
3. Multiple people can play: Unlike PS3 and XBOX, more than two people can play at a time on the Nintendo Wii. So if you buy a Wii console for the purpose of getting the family together to have fun, you won't be disappointed.
The Nintendo Wii console is definitely worth the money. And since it's less than even buying a regular game console like a Sony PlayStation, you'll get a lot more for your buck.

At Home or On the Go, Space is the Place for Downloadable Adventure
Whether you're roaming the city or camped out in the comfort of your living room, this week's new downloadable games invite you to virtually venture toward outer space for some wild intergalactic action. Mighty Milky Way for the Nintendo DSiWare service sends players on a planet-hopping mission filled with intrigue and adventure. Meanwhile, on the WiiWare service, MDK2 features a trio of unlikely heroes who must join forces to protect Earth from a sinister alien threat. For fresh hand-held fun without the interstellar obstacles, a new retro-styled platformer and an irreverent picture-based game also make their Nintendo DSiWare debut this week.
Nintendo DSiWare
Mighty Milky Way
Publisher: WayForward
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Mild Cartoon Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes
Price: 800 Nintendo DSi Points
Description: Are you ready to pulse some planets and soar through space? With a pocket full of planet candy and a heart full of ennui, green-skinned cutie-pie Luna needs your help to accomplish her secret mission. Prepare for fever-pitched puzzles in another mighty game from WayForward. Luna uses her magical staff to create and destroy planets on a whim. Explode vicious space monsters, avoid sizzling electric barriers and grab all the delicious planet candy you can. But watch out for the T-Rex, Luna's arch-nemesis. His laser eyes are matched only by the awkwardness of his sketchy past.
GO Series Tower of Deus
Publisher: Gamebridge
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points
Description: Overcome a deadly curse as you race to the top of the tower in this dark, atmospheric 2D platformer. The only way to release the curse is to reach the top before the clock runs out. Tower of Deus is modeled after an old-fashioned 2D platform game from the 1980s. Take control of a cursed man and race upwards. Go higher and higher inside a tower in a desperate race to break the curse. You'll need to overcome hordes of ghastly creatures and demons that lay in wait. Run, jump and fly your way to the top as time ticks away. There are 40 eerie levels with 10 types of gothic-style graphics - not for the faint-hearted.
Whack-A-Friend

Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Crude Humor
Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points
Description: Players are able to use their Nintendo DSi systems to capture a picture of a friend or anything else they desire. The picture will be then used in targets that pop up from various holes. Players must use the stylus to tap them back into their holes. The faster this can be done - without making mistakes - the more combos are achieved. As players continue to earn combos, the picture on the top screen will begin to display graphical changes such as bruises, bugs, black eyes, bandages and scars. The simple game design and easy, intuitive controls make it a game that the whole family can enjoy.
