Samsung Google Nexus S in India

By Dwayne -
Looks like Samsung & Google have finally decided to officially launch the much awaited Nexus S. It has been avialable for a while now from various sellers on ebay for about 30-35k INR, without a bill or samsung support and warranty. However now with an official launch on the cards we should see the brand new Nexus S in India by early April, 

Flipkart states the phone comes with a 1 year Samsung India warranty and will be priced at Rs. 27,999, you can pre-order it here.
 
A notable change is the swap of a Super AMOLED display with a Super Clear LCD, much like the Nexus S being launched last month in places like Russia, what would also be interesting is to see is if Samsung swaps out the Hummingbird processor with the OMAP one thus using an inferior GPU (i.e. a PowerVR SGX530 GPU instead of the more powerfull PowerVR SGX540) which could make this handset over priced.

A few specs: -
  • 4-inch Super Clear LCD screen at 480x800
  • 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash
  • HSDPA support
  • WiFI b/g/n, DLNA
  • Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP
  • Android 2.3 Gingerbread
  • ARM Cortex A8 1GHz CPU
  • 512MB RAM
  • 16GB inbuilt storage

L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition - PC (Review)

Another one of Rockstar Games console ports to the PC - L.A.Noire the Complete Edition is a great game barring a few niggles that probably come from porting the game from a console to the PC. Rockstar seem to have made this a habit of releasing games for consoles and then porting them. Read on for my detailed review of the game. Plot (Rating 5/5) This has to be the games biggest strength and selling point. This game seems to have pioneered a concept that I hope many follow. The story is centered around the crime scene in the post war 40's Los Angeles, you play detective Cole Phelps a war veteran who has joined the LAPD, as he investigates crimes from car theft to gruesome murders. I'll keep it at that for now since i don't want to leave spoilers for those looking to play the game, but rest assured this is one plot that will leave you thinking about its events for a while after you turn in your badge. Gameplay (Rating 4.5/5) The game throws you right into the action fro...

Gaming Lag Fix..

For a few months my once ‘high end’ gaming laptop the Asus G50-x5 has been annoying me with serious lag spikes while gaming, this would occur 8-10mis after starting a game and last for about 4-5mins with frame rates dropping as low as 4-5fps, this made most games unplayable. For a while I thought it’s probably time for it to hang in the gloves and look for an upgrade, until I realized that the games that worked earlier without a hiccup were now unplayable. After some googling and upgrading my display drivers (with no luck) I realized I needed to open it up and clean its innards. Turns out the heat-sink was clogged with dust (practically mud!!), living in Mumbai can have that effect, no matter how clean you keep it and besides this laptop is almost 3 years old now, so a good flush of its guts was much needed. I have opened it up in the past for the occasional cleaning, but never specifically looked for the heat-sink vents, which as I learnt is what matters most. With the vents to the h...
