Earlier today Google announced the release of the latest Beta for their very popular internet browser, Google Chrome for the 3 most popular operating systems; Windows, Mac and Linux! This Beta release has brought several new enhancements to Chrome, the biggest being an intergrated Flash plug in, and speed increases to make an already fast browser, even faster!

Today’s new beta release incorporates one of Chrome’s most significant speed and performance increases to date, with 30% and 35% improvement on the V8 and SunSpiderbenchmarks over the previous beta channel release. In fact, looking back in time, Chrome’s performance has improved by as much as 213% and 305% on these two benchmarks since our very first beta.

Other welcome additions include bookmark synchornization so you can share your bookmarks among several computers, and some new HTML5 features, namely Geolocation APIs, App Cache, web sockets, and file drag-and-drop capabilities.

To show off just how fast this Beta is, Google have put together several tests which include loading webpages alongside tasks which you’d miss in a blink of the eye!

If you want to try out the beta, you can  download Chrome on the Windows beta channel, or download the Mac or Linux betas.

After taking a lot of time deciding which set top box was for me, I chose Roku. I use it to stream my Netflix, Pandora, and Flickr. The easy setup and menu control make for a great user experience. The decent price and small easy to use package make it a great product. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

This is a good router, but not good enough to be worth ever penny. The lack of NAS (Network Attached Storage) support truly sets it back and the fact that there is only Ethernet in and no Ethernet out really frustrates me. Airtunes in laggy and the sound quality is not amazing. Although, all extra features aside, it is a great router. The signal strength and quality was great. And the range was stupendous.

Final Verdict: Only buy if you can find it below retail. Definitely not worth the full price.

Don’t forget about my Youtube Giveaway. If I get 250 subscribers by the end of June I will give away an iPod shuffle, 500: an iPod Nano, 1000: and iPad Wifi.

The latest addition to the award winning Fallout franchise, Fallout: New Vegas, has a little something extra in store for the more dedicated wasteland wanderers amongst you in the form of it’s Hardcore mode.

From the get go on your quest you can opt into the brand new Hardcore mode, allowing them to bypass early tutorials and live a harder wasteland life. Some changes include weighted ammunition, severely limiting the amount of bullets you can carry, stimpacks not healing you instantly and a trip to the doctors required for such things as crippled limbs and more serious injuries.

Some more changes made by Obsidian Entertainment, who have taken over from Bethesda for New Vegas, like a tweaked V.A.T.S mode and a Companion wheel, a method for issuing basic commands to your A.I companions.

Fallout: new Vegas has a Projected release date of Fall 2010

The news that Bungie were giving ‘Friends & Family’ Beta codes to allow a select few people (around 20,000) to download and play the Halo Reach beta early sparked a mass internet movement. Many websites offered these beta codes in a prize draw competition to readers of their websites, others selected a random few comments on their articles and emailed codes to the unsuspecting fans!

For most, seeing the ‘invitation to the Reach Beta’ email in their inbox was too good to be true. Unfortunately for some it really was.  Youtube and various forums on the net have become flooded with posts from people claiming to have the elusive early beta code, the catch is you have to download an exe file to generate the code or fill in an online survey…. (do you see where this is going?)… Once the unsuspecting Halo fan has downloaded the executable or completed a survey disclosing daddy’s credit card details they are given a code that, once entered, returns the “this code has already been redeemed” message – Oh the shock… Oh the horror….

So in this beta month of May, save yourself some heart ache my fellow gamers and stay away from anyone offering you a code if you have to download or complete anything! If you want the code and cant wait until early morning May the 3rd (tomorrow!) then get on twitter and start searching…. but please do remember to take a pinch of salt with you.

Beta launches May 3rd
