STYLO

It’s been five years and now they are back. The  Gorillaz, with their new album Plastic Beach. Their current song that’s floating around youtube is Stylo. I liked it because it sounded really weird and retro. I’m not a big fan of these guys but if you like weird beats/ retro give this one a listen.

iPhone users can now Photoshop on the go

Russel brown (Photoshop co-creator ) recently asked Ansca mobile to recreate the original photoshop 1.0 from 1990 (wow Photoshop is older than me)

It took only three days to do so using the corona SDK.

Nvidia officially named Fermi architecture GPU’s

Team green (aka Nvidia) finally announced today yesterday the names of their upcoming Fermi architecture Graphics cards in their Facebook page

Nvidia logo

The GTX 480 and the GTX 470 are the cards we are all looking forward to based on the Fermi GF100 chip

Nvidia hasnt  skipped the GeForce 3xx series as they already released a GeForce 310 which is basically an OEM only re-badge of the GeForce 210 but they just went ahead and made their next high end series the GeForce 4xx and completely burned off the 3xx series

no news on when its actually gonna be release or how powerfull its gonna be, however there are some old tech demo’s of the Fermi Gpu’s and chances are its gonna be DX11

Microsoft Installfest Tomorrow!

Anxious Nut just tipped me off about a Microsoft install-fest taking place tomorrow. apparently Microsoft finally realized how screwed it is, and decided to give away most of there lousy software for free. the giveaway includes your choice of windows 7 or XP (both professional/pro) and an option of windows server, expression blend three (whatever that is), project pro 2007, SQL server 2008 (don’t know if it’s express or the full version), vision pro 2007, visual studio 2008, XNA game studio 3, and (wtf) exchange server.
For those interested, it’ll be at 5aldiah campus (9 kh). Personally, I don’t know if this is the real deal or not. but it’s worth checking out.
be warned that this may only be for KU students. Take that GUSTers. ha!

Alive 2010: Fun while it lasted =D

Due to some fucked up circumstances the show got canceled halfway through (More like in the first few hours) for some fucked up lamer reasons than actions…

However, I DID enjoy myself shaking my butt to the songs and falling off my back listening to the duo spilling jokes like a September rain (Wait, What?).

Anyway, I’ve been only able to save these 8 pictures due to the fact that I was saving up for the upcoming bands (Which unfortunately couldn’t show up), so I hope you like’em =D

Before we all cuss at the rock scene here in Kuwait, lemme clarify something:

Kitsune wrote this wonderful post about what happened there. Knowing him, he have been involved in the scene since I was in diapers (Not literally though). So he has a better way of writing things.

However, I’d like to note some things:
1) The crowd were so responsive… I can safely say they had the right to go a little bit wilder but they didn’t appreciating the guys who pulled off their magical efforts into bringing such a wonderful event (With real stage!)
2) I felt so old blending with the crowd… Haven’t blended that much in, but I’m so old compared to the majority of’em
3) GUST sucks ass with a straw for canceling the show for a lamer excuse such as “The crowd weren’t controllable”

I was hoping that this event would change how Kuwait think about the rock scene, and it kinda did, but needs much more time. The guys at Rockability pulled an insane stunt there to successfully lead this event until GUST’s dean canceled the show.

There’s always tomorrow…
