Join the open beta for Company of Heroes Online over at http://www.companyofheroes.com/. It also includes the first campaign from Company of Heroes and did I mention Company of Heroes is Free-to-Play.  The game is action packed an no different from the feel of all the prior Company of Heroes titles.  The only difference between this game all the titles prior is the amazing network game play counterpart, leveling, and perk system available to the player to further your war strategies. The game is amazing especially so in 4 vs. 4 matches were players are going head-to-head for territory and resources in a desperate attempt to simply survive.

Cardapio

The menu replacement Cardapio, found here, is a excellent alternative to the bland original menu of the GNOME desktop. The applications and categories listed in the resizable Cardapio is managed by the default main menu editor in Ubuntu. It supports being launched either by a customizable taskbar applet button, by a shortcut key, or by customizing it to be launched by Docky’s Anchor icon on the dock itself. The user interface consists of a extensible search bar, a categories jumplist, a detailed pinnable application list, a control/support area, and an optional session manager. The search bar is capable of using additional search functions with plug-ins and the results support being kept or cleared upon the menu being hidden.

To Install From Terminal:

• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cardapio-team/unstable
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install cardapio

The iPhone dev-team member Planetbeing has recently reviled some breaking news pertaining to his side project iPhonelinux. In his recent announcement he reviled he’s created a working port of the Android OS to the iPhone platform. The modification is currently only compatible with 2G iPhones (Original iPhone) ,but 3G and 3GS compatibility is being something to pursue. The modifications run using a required modified boot loader called openiboot. The bootloader allows a graphical selection at boot for either the iPhoneos or android. Its been reported with some openiboot installations and have resulted in needing to install in a tethered form.

Working Android Drivers:

-WiFi connectivity (Some Android specific driver extensions are yet to be implemented causing scanning issues)

-Touchscreen interaction (No multitouch yet)

-Audio

-Call and home buttons repurposed to the volume rocker

-Phone Calls (EDGE or GSM Unknown which)

Microsoft’s Winodows 7 is the first operating system to include cheat codes that esentially put you ahead of the game. The “God Mode” Cheat is the end all be all of cheats as is the same with this one. The cheat allows for a single administration panel perfectly structured and organized in a single folder. Theres no hacking required to enable this just as simple as creating a new folder and renaming it.

Step 1:

Create New Folder

Step 2:

Rename to

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

The “GodMode” text is just a placeholder and can be replaced by any text string. Excluding the following period which is necesscary.  After all that your ready to cheat away an save some time with some easy administration. This cheat works in Windows 7 32/64-Bit and Windows Vista 32-bit ,but is said to crash in some 64-bit systems.

Some other strings that can be enter as folder names for shortcuts (same rules apply from above):

The other Control Panel links can be found here.

Also please not that all these shortcuts can be accessed from the explorer bar by entering “shell:::” then a text string from above. For example to open God Mode in an explorer windows with out a shortcut enter the following in the address bar.

shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

In the end its all simple administration customization to save time and agonizing pain of searching through pointless windows and applets.
