Mixture of two or more geeky franchises always ends up in getting a cataclysmic result. If you’ve been around for some time, there’s very little chance of you finding movies and video games making way to a friendly blend. If we take into consideration the inclusion of Darth Vader and Yoda in Soul Calibur 4, who are undoubtedly the two most ill-reputed characters ever created, we are always left with a question that why they are a part of the game in the first place.

Now, another WTF connected with style has hit the scene, but this product is worthy of a purchase. Creators of Burnout series of racing games (not the creators of ultra special DVD quality), Criterion games, have already released a car image which is going to be given prominence in their forthcoming “Legendary cars pack”. This is nothing but a DLC for the game that will soon feature new cars, which also includes the “Jansen 88 Special.”

Jansen 88 has a very close resemblance to Marty and Doc’s ride from Back to the future. The car might not take you to the ultimate decade of the second quarter of the 20th century, but it definitely leaves flames in the rear of the tires and can easily get converted to the hover shape from the very regular shape at the push of a button.

The Jansen is a package of three other cars - “The Cavalry Bootlegger, GT Nighthawk and Manhattan Spirit.” If Jansen is a Deloreon in the background, then in order to know about the other three, we have to keep our finger crossed till the coming year when the game would finally hit the retail market. Till then, the only option left being is to imagine driving the machine, which has been described by the programmers of the game.

After a difficult year, Yahoo! now seems to be moving on its own. Today, Google formally announced that they have ended their advertising agreement with Yahoo! The agreement was announced in June at a time when Yahoo! was facing takeover attempts from Microsoft. At the same time, they also had a proxy battle with Carl Icahn, which was for the control of the company.

Yahoo! & Google had both voluntary agreed for delaying their partnership and it was undergoing a review by U.S. Department of Justice. Government reviewed the deal, as they had anti-trust fears over this partnership.

Amongst the many concerns made by the U.S. Department of Justice, one was that the partnership between Yahoo! & Google would have eventually led to the 2 companies enjoying a combined share in the internet market of around 90%, with Google contributing 70.4% and Yahoo! 19.4% (these figures are based on a statistics submitted by a web-based company in September 2008). Competitors, other then these two, which includes the likes of Ask, AOL and MSN Live don’t even have a double digit contribution in the market. This being said, it was highly unlikely for U.S. Department of Justice approving such a deal of higher proportions over anti-trust concern and without major restriction within their partnership.

In their statement, Google cleared that this move of end partnership with Yahoo! was primarily due to the fact that such agreements have very little chances of taking place without going through lengthy legal battles. It was also reported by current Search Engine Giant that there were some advertisers, who had concerned over their agreement with Yahoo! They felt that with the company moving forward for getting this deal executed properly, it would have only distracted them from carrying out their core mission.

Encryption of private data has become a need for every user. We often use File hiders or Folder locking softwares to perform this task by making them password protected. Many hackers have developed a trick to enter encrypted directories by breaking the security password. Here, I am writing a tutorial using which you can lock any folder without using any software program.

Step 1 : Select the Folder to be locked , for example I will select folder “movie” in D drive i.e. D:movie

Step 2 : In the same drive, create a text file and type - ren movie movie.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} and save it as loc.bat

Step 3 : Again you type in a notepad as- ren movie.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} movie and save it as key.bat Read the rest of this entry »
