Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
- One of the most anticipated games for Summer 2008.
I'm a die hard fan and have played almost every game since the original Lucasarts TIE Fighter days, and I cant wait for this one!
Here are the details about the game , along with the games trailers and feature wallpaper for all you Star Wars fans!
Background
The game takes place during the period between Episodes III and IV, players hunt Jedi in the role of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is the first next-generation game developed internally at LucasArts, and will be available on the Xbox 360 and PS3. Krome Studios are creating an equally enthralling version of The Force Unleashed on the Wii, PS2 and PSP, while n-Space, Inc., is developing a version for the NDS. the PC version requirements are not yet known, but you can count on it being really high.
All versions will feature the same storyline as you would expect.
Game Play
Players will assist the Lord Vader in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi – and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny. As a Secret Apprentice you won't just be using a light saber but "Force Pushing" enemies into walls you will be Force pushing enemies through walls and gripping them in midair, zapping them with lightning, then dropping them to the ground to explode like a bomb.
In addition to new adversaries created just for the game, such as fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians, players will also confront and associate with familiar faces from the Star Wars films, including
Darth Vader. Visit locations such as Episode III's Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility. Decisions made by players throughout the game will determine the path of the story, including multiple endings.New Technologies

Digital Molecular Matter (DMM) by Pixelux Entertainment
DMM makes the game environments more interactive and realist. When you hit or trough something at an object it would react as they would in real life. From crumbling walls to shattering glass and even swaying organic plant life, in-game objects have material properties that behave realistically all in real time and without using a single frame of animation.
Euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd.
Enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior on the fly and resulting in a different payoff every single time.

Welcome to Windows Internet Explorer 8. This is the message displayed initially by the installer for the next iteration of Microsoft’s proprietary browser, as you can very well see from the screenshot accompanying this article. Just an anodyne proof that Internet Explorer Beta 1 is now live. At the end of the past week, Microsoft began sending out invitations to the first beta build for IE8. Participation in the limited technical beta program for Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 is possible only through explicit invitations from the IE Team. The Redmond company has now confirmed the kick-off of the private IE8 Beta 1 testing.
Here is the link pre-selected IE8 Beta 1 testers have to follow, but if you have not been invited to participate in the Technical Beta, it won’t do you any good. The best that I can do for you, at this point in time, is to deliver the first taste of Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1. Yes, I do agree it isn’t much, but at the same time, it’s better than nothing.

From time to time you will find that there are employees that receive time sensitive emails. This means if they are gone for a few days, and no one is around to answer...customers start to get testy.
I know the easy answer to this problem is to setup a distribution group. Have this group send to everyone in that department. This is not a convenient, or good answer in all cases. It may be only temporary, and you don't want a whole group of people seeing confidential email.
The other way (And this is what I am going to show you today) is to temporarily forward all inbound mail to another user.
To do this you will need to be on the Exchange server. Open the user's properties under Active Directory Users and Computers.
Click on the "Exchange General" tab.
Now that you are on that page, click on delivery options
Now, the options are shown. You can change the email to forward (1), and select the user you want to receive the email from active directory.
Second, you can also allow the user receive the email in addition to the user receiving the forwarded email. This can be accomplished by checking the "Deliver messages to both..." (2).
Click OK, and email is immediately forwarding to the new user.
Thats all there is to it.
When the user returns, you can simply switch it back to "None", and the email is no longer forwarded.

Vista SP1 is officially only available for enterprise customers, but the reports about problems caused by this service pack are piling up. This post contains a list of all SP1 issues I am aware of.
I have discussed some of them before, but I thought it might be a good idea to create a list of all known Vista SP1 issues to keep track of them. I will update this post whenever I encounter new ones.
Device driver problems
This issue was the reason why Microsoft postponed the general release of SP1 to mid-march. It seems not to be a big problem for tech savvy Vista users. This article (KB 948187) has more.
Programs that have problems with Vista SP1
I mentioned before that Vista SP1 doesn’t solve compatibility problems, but it causes new ones. This article (KB935796) lists all known programs that don’t work properly with Vista SP1. I suggest you check them out before you install this service pack. Please, let us know if you experienced troubles with other apps that are not in this list.
The endless reboot issue
This problem of Vista SP1 is causing a lot of stir. A pre-requisite update (KB937287) triggers endless reboots on some machines. Microsoft suspended the automatic distribution of this update. I installed this update before, but I didn’t experience this problem. I just checked Windows Update and it was available again. Before that, I was able to install Vista SP1 without this patch anyway. So it seems like this issue is not as bad as it seemed at first. KB949358 has details on how to solve this problem if you are affected.
The sleep mode problem
Milo reports that some systems with SP1 crash when attempting to wake up their PC from sleep mode. I have experienced the same problem on some Vista machine without SP1. A BIOS update might be of help in such cases. However, I don’t know if the problem described by Milo is a new one. He thinks that it might be related to the reboot issue. However, I think it must be something different because the reboot problem isn’t about sleep mode.
The Windows Mobile Device Center issue
There are reports that Vista x64 SP1 has been released accidentally to Windows Update. ITWire received emails from users who experienced problems after installing SP1. One is that the memory and performance rating is not displayed anymore, and the other one is about the Windows Mobile Device Center. Based on the screenshot they published, the latter one looks familiar to me. I got the same meaningless error message sometimes when I connected my Windows Mobile 6 device to different desktops running the Windows Mobile Device Center. The only solution I found was to reset Windows Mobile. I don’t know if this is really the same problem, but it could be that SP1 causes an authentication problem which probably was the reason for the error message in my case.
GPMC (Group Policy Management Console) will be uninstalled
If you manage Group Polices for Vista machines in your PC, then I wouldn’t install SP1 because GPMC will be removed after the installation. Microsoft plans to release a new version, but as far as I know, this is not yet the case.
The sound problem
The German Windows Vista blog and Aaron discovered a problem with the sound system. It seems that this is related to the driver problem discussed above. However, Microsoft dedicated a particular article (KB948481) to it.
Even though some media are making a big deal out of this SP1 issues, I don’t think that they are really serious so far. Of course, those who are affected might have a different view about it. But do you remember about the troubles that service pack 2 for Windows XP caused? Well, XP is everybody’s darling now.
