EA to Push Red Alert 3 to PS3

I have been hearing about this thing since previous June. Sometimes they stay it is on hold and sometimes that they have stopped their plans on it. Finally, they announced that the Command & Conquer™ Red Alert™ 3: Ultimate Edition will be available for the Play Station 3 owners by March.

The Electronic Arts Inc. had announced in previous year that it had plans to bring the Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 to the Play Station 3 plat form. But the tough and exotic environment of the Play Station 3 has kept them away from continuing their plans. But with the great environment out there for the video game market, the EA has been compelled to revive its plans on Play Station 3.

And the Play Station 3 gamers are also likely to get a boon of five new exciting new multiplayer games, the official Red Alert 3 sound track and video trailers and focused tips, tricks and strategies on other great games of EA.

IBM Wins the Patents’ Competition In 2009

I never thought of existence of some record similar to this.

“The biggest number of patents in a single year!”

When you think about it from one side it appears to be something silly. But this is the record of the mighty IBM, I cannot say it out.

The products of IBM, which were patented last year, were like: a wireless system to detect a child's presence in the baby car seat, a method for blind to find their way about using radio frequency, a cheaper way to build nanotechnology which is used to make chips, etc. And when they all are piled up together, it accounted to 4,186 US patents.

The second place is secured by Samsung Electronics which has patented for 3,515 products in 2008.

Microsoft is next in the race with 2,030 patents, followed by Intel corp with 1,776 patents.

Hewlett-Packard is also doing with 1,424 patents, but not as much as IBM.

Olympics Doesn’t Help China Tourism For 2008

Olympics was a great international event for China which pushed many to visit the country from all over the world.

The people who visited China in 2008 are 130 million, according to the numbers released by China’s National Tourism Administration. But still it was lower by around 2 million from the number of people who visited China on 2007.

This accounts to total of 2 percent fall in tourists’ rate of China. According to the official data, this is the first fall in five years.

The major thing that could have put people away from visiting the country could be the over security measures that were took up by the country for Olympics. Also the complicated visa requirements could somehow have impacted the demand. And then there was this earthquake which killed or kept missing almost 90,000 people from China.

And the economy downturn going on in all over the world plays the major role in dropping visitors’ number.

The Strategy of Health Clubs during Recession Times

Michelle is concerned about her health these days. She wants to be fit but hindering to join one. The reason behind this is that she may not get her salary hike this month or may even get a layoff notice. Can she afford joining a gym this time?

Well this is the situation with many of the Americans who want to enhance their health levels, but are holding back because of the present economic crisis.

Health clubs and Gyms have understood the situation and are now into offering rebates and special discounts on their customers, so that they don’t have to concern much about the costs.

Actually, this is the right time to join a fitness centre. Because it is some physical exercise that can help you cope up with the mental stress you are facing everyday.

So delay no more! Find some good fitness centre near your house and join down. Don’t forget seeking for deals before joining one.

When Do They Stop It?

The number of people being killed mercilessly for unexplained reasons is still seen in many places. There are certain regions people never try to get rid of their strange beliefs though they don’t make any sense.

Imagine your neighbor coming to fight with you because his cat didn’t meow since two days. You don’t understand anything and he keeps shouting at you though you say that you don’t know home and his silly cat.

The situation is more serious than this example. In real position, the person just grabs you out of your house; tie your hands and legs, drag you around the streets tied to some vehicle, and then tie you to a tree. He then throws some old clothes at your face and set you ablaze, all alive. And worst part of it is that you don’t get any help or support amid of strong support to your abuser.

This condition is not just restricted to some poor nations. We hear sorcery and witchcraft (not videogames) even in developed countries. When do people stop this?

The Power of Confidence

Confidence is the feeling of one’s strength or ability to perform things and to succeed. Confidence makes a person perform to his full extent, no matter how critical the work is.

If you are one of those many people who wonder at the confidence of your fellow human, then you are sure losing the ecstasy of satisfaction of your life. It comes within you when you are sure that you have performed to your full skill, talent and ability.

Many say that you become confident only when you have handled any such situation and were successful. It may be true; but when you are compelled to face a strong guy in some hand to hand fight, which you never did before, you will be beaten badly if you fail to bring up confidence in you.

Every human being has his own challenges in life. Challenges keep on coming one after the other, no matter how efficient you are. There is no other choice except to face and fight.
