Summary of Call Of Duty : Modern Warfare 3

Description:Modern Warfare 3 is a first-person shooter video game. And will run at 60 frames per second, minimum. Activision confirmed that Modern Warfare 3 on the PC will have dedicated servers support. The game will immediately follow the events of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, where the Russian Federation continues its invasion of the United States of America, and has also expanded its offensive to Europe, including England, France and Germany. Campaign stages are also planned for Somalia, Sierra Leone, Moscow and Dubai. The trailer also showed Delta Force soldiers helping Navy Seal Teams force a Russian submarine to surface in the East River and boarding it to destroy the other boats in the harbor. Later on, Delta Force soldiers are on a mission to destroy a radar jamming installation on top of the New York Stock Exchange
Campaign:
The player assumes the role of various characters during the single-player campaign, changing perspectives throughout the progression of the story. Each level is a mission that features a series of objectives that are displayed on the heads up display, which marks the direction and distance towards and from such objectives. Damage to the player is shown by blood shown on the screen. The player's health regenerates as time passes. Tasks vary in their requirements, having the player arrive at a particular checkpoint, eliminate enemies in a specified location, stand their ground to defend an objective, or plant explosive charges on an enemy installation. The player will be accompanied by troops who cannot be issued orders.
Co-op
Modern Warfare 3 will feature a new Survival Mode. Survival Mode features one to two players fighting endless waves of enemies with each wave getting more difficult. Despite being much compared to the World at War Nazi Zombies mode, enemies do not spawn at fixed locations like the zombies do, but instead, at tactical positions based on the current location of the player. The mode will be available on all multiplayer maps in the game and in the mode, players can earn "cash" for items such as weapons, upgrades and ammo
Multiplayer Features:
Strike Packages:
Streaks now come in the form of classes. Depending on if you choose Assault, Support or Specialist, you'll gain access to different kill streaks and perks to unlock during your time in battle. You'll still find many of your favorites, but the Specialist Strike Package simply receives perks as its reward.Weapon Leveling:
Love your favorite gun? Prove it by leveling it up alongside your character and unlocking different proficiencies such as lowering the kick, steadying the aim, and gaining additional attachment slots.
Objectives are Kills Too:
Well, not exactly, but assists and hitting objectives will add to your streak count if you choose the Support Strike Package. You'll nab quick streaks for helping the team as opposed to killing everyone in sight.
Kill Confirmed:
Kill Confirmed is a new mode that required players to collect dog tags from players they've killed. If the enemy gets the dog tags first, the kill doesn't count (and vice versa). This kill and collect mode forces you to consider where you're laying bodies down and if it's safe to run an grab your trophy. Kill and death stats are significantly lower in this mode.
New Streaks:
Now you can jump into a Juggernaut suit and tackle your favorite multiplayer map. For a streak of 17 you can hop into the gunner seat of an Osprey as the helicopter drops supply crates around the map. Trick your enemies with booby-trapped supply crates. These are just a few of the options available to players via different Strike Packages.
No More Nukes or Shotguns as Secondaries:
The developer's goal is to bring Modern Warfare 3 back to the guns. This means no nukes ending a match and no over-the-top powers that sway the balance. As a side note, diving to ground from Black Ops has disappeared.
Hybrid Scopes:
If you level up your weapon far enough, you'll nab the option to slap a second scope on it. Shoot the way you want to shoot by flipping between two styles of scopes.
New Equipment:
Pick yourself up a Bouncing Betty and witness some surprise explosions when this little mine pops into the air and explodes.
Characters:
Captain John "Soap" MacTavish
Former SAS Captain John Price
Russian informant Nikolai
Russian Ultranationalist Vladimir Makarov
Playable characters:
Derek "Frost" Westbrook
Sandman
A pair of Delta Force operatives

Toshiba Excite A200.

2011-12-29T08:21:00.000-08:00

Toshiba has announced that it has planned to launch its latest tablet PC called the Excite A200. The company claims that Excite AT200 will be the world’s thinnest tablet ever.

Toshiba earlier had unveiled in late September that its Excite A200 tablet will be made available in the European markets to the consumers in Q4 of 2011.

But Toshiba doesn't seems to keep its promise. Excite AT200 tablet can already be seen at the company’s authorized Canadian website. Additionally, the said page says that the tablet pc will be made available in the North by January 2012.

So now it seems that people need to wait for Excite AT200 till January-February 2012, to experience the thinnest tablet, claimed by Toshiba

However, Toshiba has yet not unveiled any precise availability and pricing details of the tablet but some websites have been reporting that the Wi-Fi only edition can now be pre-ordered in Germany. The 16GB edition will be available for 479 Euro and the 32GB edition for 584 Euro.

Toshiba Excite AT200 Review. The tablet is quite a handful with a 10.1 inches touchscreen and is lightweight too. The tablet runs on the new Android 3.2 Honeycomb. There are very few tablets in the market that have Android Honeycomb. Most of the tablets still have Gingerbread version of android as the OS. Toshiba AT200 Excite has a 10.1 inches wide capacitive touchscreen and it has a resolution of 1200×800 pixels. The images and pictures are all displayed with supreme clarity and this tablet gives them all a cleverly manipulated and clearer look and feel.

The touchscreen also has light sensors to make the screen visible in bright as well as dim light. This new Toshiba AT200 Excite is fitted with 1 GB of RAM and an internal memory of 64 GB. Well, this much of on board memory is quite enough to hold lots of data and personal stuff for entertainment and business. You can expand the memory by using microSD card slots. The tablet gives you many connectivity options like Bluetooth v3.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, 3G, microUSB, microSD, microHDMI port. The HDMI port is a really good addition to this tablet.

Toshiba AT200 Excite tablet is powered by a TI OMAP 1.2 GHz processor and is combined with a 3D graphics accelerator for enhanced 3D viewing experience. The tablet has the capability to play all kinds of formats of video and audio files and this tablet is in fact a very good entertainment hub and will appeal to both the groups of people who like to have tablet for pleasure or for business. Toshiba AT200 Excite has a 5 MP rear camera and is equipped with a secondary front 2 MP camera as well. The front camera can be used for video calling and the rear camera for taking superb images with great clarity.

How to factory reset a BlackBerry smartphone

2011-12-28T20:22:00.000-08:00

A factory reset of a BlackBerry® smartphone is a troubleshooting method that completely turns off and restarts the BlackBerry smartphone's operating system software and applications. It is a useful first step if a BlackBerry smartphone is experiencing hardware, software, or wireless network problems.

Note: A reset of a BlackBerry smartphone does not delete any settings or data.

There are two options for performing a reset: a hard reset and a soft reset.

A hard reset involves physically removing the battery from the BlackBerry smartphone and then reinserting it. To perform a hard reset, complete the following steps:

Remove the battery cover from the back of the BlackBerry smartphone.
Remove the battery, and then reinsert it after a few seconds.
Replace the battery cover.

A soft reset is a three-key combination that resets the BlackBerry smartphone without removing the battery. It is only available on BlackBerry smartphone models with a QWERTY keyboard. Do not attempt to perform a soft reset on BlackBerry smartphones that are equipped with SureType® technology or the SurePress™ touch screen, such as the BlackBerry® Pearl™ Series, BlackBerry® Pearl™ Flip Series, and BlackBerry® Storm™ smartphone.

To perform a soft reset, complete the following steps:

Press and hold the Alt key on the BlackBerry smartphone.
While holding down the Alt key, press and hold the Right Shift key.
With both of those buttons still pressed, press the Backspace/Delete key. The display on the BlackBerry smartphone turns off to indicate that the reset has started, and the keys can now be released.

Canon IXUS 310 HS
MRP: Rs 19,999
Street price: Rs 19,395 (Flipkart.com; Letsbuy.com)

For those who want style and fashion even in cameras, Canon has the IXUS series with sculpted bodies and decent specs. One such compact camera is the IXUS 310 HS, which is a 12.1 MP camera with 4.4x optical zoom along with Optical Image Stabilisation. This successor to the IXUS 300 HS, has a full touch screen interface with a large 3.2" screen. Powered by the DIGIC 4 processor, this baby can shoot 1080p videos at 24 fps without breaking a sweat, as against the 720p offered by its predecessor. A back-illuminated CMOS sensor promises better photography in darker conditions, while it also boasts of Super Slow Motion movies at 240 fps and high-speed burst stills. While these are the specs on paper, we found out what the camera really delivers.

Design And Features
The Canon IXUS has a curvaceous sculpted stainless steel body with a metallic lustre. The construction is very rugged and the camera appears to be chunky when held in the hands. With a slim profile with only a slight bulge near the lens, it is small and light enough to be carried in a pocket. The retractable lens is protected by a cover, which automatically opens or shuts when the camera is switched on and off, respectively. A pair of stereo microphones is present on either sides of the lens to capture stereophonic audio. The horizontal flash is placed on the side away from the shutter button to minimise the chances of it accidentally getting blocked by fingers.Almost the entire rear of the camera is occupied by the 3.2" large touch screen LCD. The only button available over here is the Play button to initiate the playback mode. The screen has double the number of pixels (461,000) as its predecessor (230,000), making the image a lot crisper. With good viewing angles and colour definition, the display is easily visible even under direct sunlight, making it possible to use the camera in broad daylight. This is essential for this camera because it does not come with an optical viewfinder. All the familiar Canon UI is present in this camera as well, albeit with touch control. A vertical list of icons is placed on the left of the screen, which can be scrolled by vertically swiping at the screen. Because the controls are placed so close to each other, you will be in a fix if you have fat fingers, thus unintentionally touching another control instead of the one you actually intended to touch. Although Canon states that the screen is capacitive, it exhibits the lack of responsiveness of a resistive screen. Canon also states that this screen is resistant to scratches.The battery compartment is present below the camera, protected by a sliding door. This compartment also houses the SD memory card slot. The battery is a 1000 mAh Li-ion proprietary battery. There is a threaded metal socket to attach a tripod, which is placed off the centre of gravity, although it does not matter much in a camera as light as this one. A mini-HDMI port along with a mini-USB slot is present on one side of the camera protected by a flap, while the other side has a sieve behind which the speaker is placed.

The camera has integrated iSAPS technology, which analyses the scene being photographed and automatically chooses the best scene mode. The shutter priority mode lets you set a shutter speed from as high as 1/1600 of a second to as high as 15 seconds, while the aperture priority range covers F2.0 to F8.0. The large touch screen has been used to provide touch-to-focus functionality. However, there is no way to choose the focal distance. This makes it difficult to focus on subjects in situations such as when they are behind glass or grills, where the camera refuses to focus on the subject, preferring to focus on the glass or grills instead. The lack of a physical mode dial is evident, especially when you have to go inside the touch menu every time you want to change the mode, something which would have been easily achieved, had there been a physical mode dial.

Performance
The camera becomes operational within a second of pressing the power button. The average gap between two shots was found to be around 2.5 seconds.

Let us now take a look at the image quality.

The 310 HS features 4.4x optical zoom, which is usually the case with cameras sporting a slim and small form factor, although a slightly bulging camera such as this one could have easily accommodated more.

Verdict
The Canon IXUS 310 HS is a splendid example of an amalgamation of style, performance, and quality. It doesn't fail to amaze with its good still image quality and 1080p video capture, although we must add the otherwise flawless performance is marred with noise in the image at all ISO levels. The design is good, the size pocketable, while the UI with a huge 3.2" full touch screen easy to use. Manual controls or even shooting modes are not available by direct control buttons, but only after you go inside the touch UI, which may be daunting and confusing to many. The 4 GB \ 10 minutes limit of video capture is also another limitation enforced by Canon, probably to force people not to use this as a camcorder and buy its expensive models.

One of the major negatives about this camera is that the IXUS 310 HS, which is available in brown, pink, and silver, is priced very expensive at an MRP of Rs 19,995 with a 1-year warranty. At this price point, the Sony TX9 would have been a worthy competitor. However, it is no longer available, thus leaving this camera with no competitor to compete against.

Street Price: Rs 3,42,990 (Panasonic Brand shop retail stores only), Rs 3,48,000 (eBay India)

When it comes to televisions, the latest rage in town is those equipped with some form of 3D technology, and almost every major manufacturer having its own 3D TV category. Panasonic had introduced its VIERA 3D plasma 3D television range last year and we have reviewed the largest in this range available in India at present, the 65" TH-P65VT30D, which is an upgraded version of the TH-P65VT20D. This TV can display 1080p content in 3D using RealD 3D technology and can also convert 2D content into 3D. It is THX certified with Dolby Digital, featuring a memory card reader, and two USB ports with support for AVCHD and DivX HD. It supports a proprietary 600 Hz sub-field drive engine, which claims to give a smoother, flicker-free display. This huge television makes for an awesome display of opulence.

3D Eyewear And RemotePanasonic provides only two pairs of 3D eyewear with this TV. If you want to watch 3D movies with the entire family, you will have to buy extra. The eyewear looks sleek and is considerably light-weight at just 39 g, despite the fact that it is battery powered, making it easy to use for long durations. The battery is rechargeable via a microUSB port, and lasts for 30 hours on a 2-hour charge. A small switch lets you switch it on and off to conserve battery power when not in use. It automatically switches off when it detects that 3D viewing is not being done for around 10 minutes. Bespectacled users need not worry because you can easily wear these over your glasses.

The 3D Eyewear is very comfortable to wear.

The remote control powered by two AA batteries, as is the case with almost every television today, is quite long, which is understandable because it has to accommodate all the function buttons necessary to completely control the television. Additionally, it has the VIERA Tools and VIERA Link function buttons. Extra buttons are present to control media devices connected to the TV and supporting VIERA Link. All the buttons are neatly labelled and it is easy to find what you are looking for on this remote.

The full function remote control can completely control the TV and connected devices.

Design And Features
The Panasonic VIERA TH-P65VT30D is a huge television with a size that makes it suitable to be installed only if you have a large living room. Describing its presence in words cannot do it justice because its sheer size is overwhelming.

Before you decide to purchase it, you should know its dimensions to decide how and where to install it. Its height without the stand is 96 cm, width is 157 cm, while the thickness is 6 cm, which is surprisingly thin for a plasma TV and is definitely a lot thinner than its predecessor. We think that it is best to install it on a wall, but if you wish to use the pedestal stand, then you must keep in mind that this stand has a thickness of 40 cm, while the total height of the TV with the stand comes to around 100 cm. Also, if you decide to place it on a platform, you have to keep in mind that it is considerably heavy, weighing 63 kg with the pedestal stand, and 56 kg without.

The Panasonic VIERA TH-P65VT30D.

The first thing we noticed about the VIERA is its single glass sheet design, which gives it a stylish monolithic type of look. A single strip of aluminium strip turned all around the length and breadth of the bezel makes it look elegant. However, the bezel behind the glass sheet is still too thick with the thickness being 6 cm for the top and bottom, and 6.5 cm for the left and right bezels. While it doesn't make the TV look bad, the general aesthetic trend is towards thinner bezels, which seem to allow the TV to merge into the wall once it is wall-mounted. The glass sheet has a glossy finish, which makes it difficult to view when placed opposite to a bright source of light such as a window during day. Also, it easily catches fingerprint smudges, so hands off the panel. The various certifications of the TV are printed at the bottom of the bezel besides indicator LEDs. Four fans are present inside the body of the TV at the back near the top to vent out hot air produced inside.

Control buttons are almost completely absent at the front with the exception of a power button almost hidden just below the centre of the bezel at the front. The rest of the controls are placed on the right side, just behind the bezel. Function, Volume, TV, and AV buttons are present here.

Controls are present on the right side.

There are many connectors at the rear, which are very difficult to access once the TV is wall-mounted. These include the co-axial connector for cable TV signal, three AV connectors, a composite connector, PC connector, and an audio out connector to connect to an HTS. An RJ-45 port is also present in this group to connect and make use of DLNA \ VIERA CAST \ Internet features of the TV. Due to size constraints introduced because of reduction in the thickness of the TV, most of these connectors are not standard connectors, but Panasonic has provided all the necessary adaptor cables to be used with these connectors.

Connectors at the back.

Connectors are present on the left side of the TV at the back to provide easy access even after it is wall-mounted. These include four HDMI connectors to let you connect a HD set-top box, a gaming console, a PC, and a HD media player all at once. There is even a headphones jack. Of course, if you really plan to use this headphone jack, then you will need a really long cable due to the huge size of the TV screen making it impractical to watch from too close. It would have been a good idea to provide at least one AV connector in this region for easy accessibility, because most SD set-top boxes or media players support only such connectivity options.

Connectors on the left side.

Panasonic has also provided two USB ports and an SD card slot to view movies, pictures, or listen to music placed on these media types. Unlike the previous version, this TV supports NTFS file system as well as a host of media formats. It supports playback of up to 1080p video in DivX, AVCHD (MTS), MKV, MPEG-1 \ 2, MP4, WMV, MOV, and many other formats. USB hard drives are also supported.

Performance
We connected the TV to the Amkette FlashTV HD media player using a HDMI cable to view HD movies, and to a PC with a GeForce GTX 460 using an HDMI v1.4 cable to view 3D content using NVIDIA 3DTV Play software. A Tata Sky+ HD connection was used to find out the quality of standard television programming and a few HD channels being offered.

HD HQV Benchmark
The VIERA scored high marks as far as the colour range is concerned with smooth gradations like we have never seen before. The black levels for which plasmas are so famed, are evident in the test, especially in the Cinema, Game, and THX mode. However, there were a few minor issues while running the Video Resolution Loss test with some flicker. Noise reduction was also found not to be the most efficient.

2D Picture Quality
As expected, watching HD movies was a treat on the TV, thanks to the rich colours, wide contrasts, amazing brightness, and the larger than life images. The colour reproduction is natural with no noticeable saturation. HD channels from the set top box look amazing on this TV. Switching to SD channels was found to be surprisingly good, although you can't help but notice some blurriness due to the SD content being blown up to such a large size screen. Also, you end up with vertical bars on the left and right when watching at the correct aspect ratio, because the display is 16:9 widescreen, while the current SD channels offer only 4:3. Since the quality of normal Cable TV is generally worse, we recommend against using it with this TV. Audio is surprisingly good for a TV, thanks to a 2.1 audio system with the two satellites on either side just behind the bezel with openings at the bottom, while a sub-woofer hidden inside the body at the centre.

3D PerformanceAs mentioned earlier, this TV plays 3D content in Full HD using Real D 3D technology, which uses circular polarisation to eliminate problems experienced with other 3D techniques, where turning your head results in loss of 3D effect. In order to be able to view 3D content, you must connect this TV to either a PC capable of producing 3D video output, or a 3D Blu-ray player, which will limit the possibility to just using 3D Blu-rays. Using a PC will let you view a variety of 3D content including computer games. In our case, the TV was connected to a PC equipped with NVIDIA 3DTV Play and a 3D Blu-ray player.

Space Station Blu-ray 3D was used to gauge the 3D performance in movies. We also tried 3D gaming by connecting it to a PC with NVIDIA 3D Vision. Additionally, we used the TV's 2D to 3D conversion facility to convert some 2D movies into 3D. This TV really immerses you into the 3D world it recreates around you delivering an overall experience rivalling that of a movie theatre. The 3D experience is good enough to even convert sceptics into fans. Watching for long hours does not cause any headaches, and there were absolutely no flickering or crosstalk \ ghosting issues, which are the common complaints about 3D. You can turn your head or even move around the TV and get the same 3D experience. The only problem we noticed was that the brightness reduces when a switch is made to 3D. However, increasing the TV's brightness solves this issue. The 2D to 3D conversion works well with some content, while it may not work as well with others, which is understandable because it is just an algorithm, trying to approximate the 3D video from a 2D source with no 3D information.

This TV also supports playback of 3D content through its own media player. However, the content has to conform to certain standards such as Frame Sequential, Side by Side, and Top and Bottom. While it might work well, that might not always be the case. Some people may find it uncomfortable to watch in this way because there is no facility to adjust the inter-ocular distance (distance between the eyes) in the TV. While this distance is generally assumed to be 6.5 cm, a little more or less can cause discomfort. Also, there is no option to switch left and right eye visuals if the source has them in an wrong sequence.

Other Features
The built-in media player works well, but the interface could have been a little better. The listing of files can lead to confusion and navigation can be a problem because the directory structure is not clearly visible. Playback is not a problem as long as the content is supported. Panasonic could have assigned the playback controls for externally connected devices, already present on the remote control, to control this internal media player.

Some of the other notable features of this TV include DLNA, which makes it easy to use on a home network to display content from supporting devices on the network. In addition to the RJ-45 port, you can also use the Wi-Fi dongle provided with the TV with one of the USB ports to wirelessly connect the TV with a Wi-Fi router for internet connection. VIERA CAST is yet another feature, which allows you to enjoy internet content such as YouTube, Skype (along with the TY-10W web camera with inbuilt mic), Facebook, Twitter, photos, movies, weather, etc on the TV screen.

VIERA Connect gives you access to the online features of the TV.

Power Consumption
There is always a hue and cry about plasma TVs consuming a huge amount of power, especially big ones such as this. While it does consume more power, it does not consume a constant amount as is the case with LCDs or LED backlit LCD TVs. This particular TV features the Neo Plasma, which claims to consume half of the earlier plasma panels. While that figure is an exaggeration, it did consume around 65 percent of the predecessor. The power consumption peaked at 375 W when the entire display is white with the brightness set to high. The power consumption drops to 60 W when the entire screen is black at the lowest brightness.

There is no way to find average power consumption because it depends on the brightness of the scene being displayed. When set to Normal mode at default brightness, the TV consumed 1 unit of electricity in 4 hours of normal viewing. The power consumption drops to a unit every 6 hours when you switch the Eco mode, which seems to reduce the brightness a bit and possibly optimises other settings we are not aware of. The most power is consumed when using Dynamic Contrast setting when it consumes a unit every 2.5 hours on an average. The TV also generates measurable amount of heat, thus ruling out the possibility of watching the endless soap opera programming or probably even a cricket match, unless the room is air conditioned.

Verdict
The Panasonic VIERA TH-P65VT30D leaves you overwhelmed with everything - size, performance, and of course, the price. The huge 65" panel really turns your living room into a mini theatre of sorts. There is no question that plasmas beat LCDs hands down as far as the colour, contrast, and brightness are concerned, and this TV is a glittering example of just that. The 3D experience is surprisingly pleasant, because we usually expect headache or discomfort after a few minutes of wearing due to flickering, none of which was evident in this case even after hours of viewing. The TV comes with two pairs of 3D eyewear, but you can buy more for the family.

Being an upgraded version of the TH-P65VT20D, the TH-P65VT30D has done everything right, what was wrong with its predecessor. It supports USB drives with NTFS file system and almost every format an HD media player supports. In addition to memory cards and USB flash drives, it also supports USB hard drives without any problem. It does consume a lot of electricity, but even that has been reduced by leaps and bounds when compared to the earlier version. In general, it consumes around 65% of what its predecessor consumes. The cost of power consumption might not bother someone who has the money to buy such an expensive TV. While it is still an energy hog and going for an LED backlit LCD TV with a similar screen size appears to make better sense in the long run, it is going to take a long time to recover the extra Rs 1,00,000 you pay for the latter. At an MRP of Rs 3,79,000, this may seem an expensive proposition, but you can get it for around Rs 37,000 less as mentioned at the start of the review.
