| Beg for Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D and You Just Might Get It Posted: 01 Aug 2012 05:51 AM PDT Nintendo gave The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time the full remake treatment for its 3DS release last month. The company has yet to commit to remaking fellow N64 title Majora's Mask, a game that some prefer to OoT. While it's no guarantee, clamoring for a 3DS remake might convince Nintendo to make it happen.
 "It's been 13 years since Ocarina of Time was originally released, and one of the big things that we made this remake possible was that there was an outpour of emotions from people who said they would like to see this game done," explained longtime Zelda director and producer Eiji Aonuma in an interview with Nintendo Power (via Zelda Informer, CVG). "We said we could do it in 3D, so we did. I think certainly if there was a similar output of emotion and clamor from fans for a remake of Majora's Mask, it wouldn't be an utter impossibility."  |
| What is the Battlefield 3 Alpha Test All About? Posted: 01 Aug 2012 05:48 AM PDT You may have heard that some people are playing Battlefield 3 right now. While it's entirely possible that friend of yours claiming to have multiplayer access is a big liar, there are people participating in an ongoing alpha trial. Despite what some people may erroneously be referring to it as, this is not the beta that will kick off later this year.  A new post on the Battlefield blog has cleared up some confusion. DICE Community Manager Daniel Matros laid out exactly what the purpose of the current alpha -- not beta -- is: "It is a highly tech focused test period where the main purpose is to do a number of server related tests in preparation for game launch requiring a set amount of players online to ensure the final experience is as much fun and easy as possible."  |
| Darksiders II Skipping Multiplayer Due to Technical Challenges Posted: 01 Aug 2012 05:37 AM PDT Darksiders II  "When we put together the pitch for Darksiders 1, we wanted it to be multiplayer then," Director Marvin Donald told IGN. "It's just too much work when you're starting a brand new studio with a new [intellectual property] and you're building your own technology. We're also evolving the series into more of [a role-playing game], which was something else we wanted to do from the beginning, but we just didn't have the resources or time or money to do it the first time around and do it justice."  |

| Dropbox: Hacked Employee Account Behind Spam Attack Posted: 01 Aug 2012 05:01 AM PDT
The probe put together by Dropbox has found that the problem began when usernames and passwords stolen from third-party websites were used to compromise a small number of Dropbox accounts. But things got as bad as they did because one of the accounts compromised was that of an employee and "contained a project document with user email addresses." The company has announced that it plans to implement a number of security measures to avoid similar embarrassments in the future. These measures include two-factor authentication and a new page to help users keep an eye on active logins (and hopefully an internal mechanism to ensure that employee Dropbox accounts don't contain unencrypted user data). "At the same time, we strongly recommend you improve your online safety by setting a unique password for each website you use," Dropbox said in a blog post Tuesday. " Though it's easy to reuse the same password on different websites, this means if any one site is compromised, all your accounts are at risk. Tools like 1Password can help you manage strong passwords across multiple sites."  |
| Vast Majority of Big Businesses Still Rocking Windows XP, Claims Browsium Posted: 01 Aug 2012 05:01 AM PDT
Well, don't know about you, but Browsium, a company which helps businesses run critical IE6- or IE7-dependent web apps on IE8 and IE9, certainly seems to think that stats can be misleading at times. Not willing to blindly buy into the hype, the Redmond-based company feels it is a classic glass half-empty/half-full situation, with Windows XP still accounting for a large number of enterprise desktops. According to Browsium, there has been one really big problem with Windows 7 migrations so far, which is that they have been largely restricted to small/medium businesses and educational institutions, with the company estimating that as many as 80 percent of large enterprises (those with 10,000 or more PCs) are still using XP. "When you look at very large enterprise – banks, healthcare and insurance companies, government organizations – where Browsium does the majority of our business, the picture is not so rosy," the company claimed in a blog post. "These enterprises are struggling to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7 … and to eradicate IE6 and IE7 in the process." Image Credit: ICANHASCHEEZBURGER  |

| Hey Android Users, Want Some Ice Cream Sandwich with Your Raspberry Pi? Posted: 01 Aug 2012 05:01 AM PDT
"Hardware-accelerated graphics and video have been up and running smoothly for some time; AudioFinger support is the only major missing piece at the moment," Raspberry Pi's developers stated in their most recent blog post. There are other issues to work through as well, but it's all coming along nicely. The developers said that this particular implementation uses a different kernel and VideoCore binary image than the one that's available on GitHub, explaining that's the reason they've kept quiet about it all so far. Once they figure out a feasible way to converge the two code lines to produce a single common platform, they'll release the source code to the general public. Raspberry Pi is a $35 device the size of a credit card with an ARM processor clocked at 700MHz, VideoCore 4 GPU capable of Blu-ray quality playback, 256MB of RAM, two USB ports, and an Ethernet port. There's also a $25 version that does away with Ethernet and drops one of the USB ports. Follow Paul on Google+, Twitter, and Facebook

Confronted with a large number of reports of Dropbox-associated email addresses being targeted by spammers, the cloud storage company brought in "outside experts" to probe the issue earlier this month. Those experts have now concluded their investigation and identified the exact cause behind this entire fiasco.
When Microsoft released Windows 7 in late 2009, it became an instant hit, especially in the consumer PC market. In contrast, enterprise users did not display quite the same eagerness in adopting the operating system, with most of them choosing instead to cling onto Windows XP for as long as possible. Earlier this month, though, Microsoft triumphantly announced that over 50 percent of all enterprise desktops were now running Windows 7. But stats don't always tell the full story, do they?
The folks responsible for Raspberry Pi have already concocted a delicious, inexpensive recipe for micro-sized computing, but the project is about to get even tastier with the introduction of one more ingredient: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Raspberry Pi's developers are working on porting ICS to its $35 device and have "been making great progress" towards that end.| You are subscribed to email updates from Home To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
