99Ā¢ Only StoresĀ®, located in Westchester CA, plans to give out Apple iPhones for just 99 cents to there first 9 customers on 9th August as part of there 25th anniversary.

With this awesome iPhone give away comes an issue too. As iPhone’s retail exclusivity is with Apple and AT&T Wireless stores, how on earth will this plan be executed?

And if this turns out to be a success then one should expect more such iPhone give aways at other places, not only at Apple and AT&T Wireless stores!

What do you think? Has 99Only stores done there homework or they should be ready to face fights against Apple?

Destiny Drives The World, Try Driving Destiny!!

Hackers who created this malware must have been very nasty else why would someone spend nights in order to create a malware which goes on to delete the computers mp3 files. Yes that is true!

A recent article on computerworld suggests that the creators of this malware are more likely to be teenage mischief-makers than the organized criminal gangs we typically see authoring financially motivated malware these days.

Symantec Corp., which calls the worm W32.Deletemusic, said in an advisory that the worm copies itself to all drives on a PC. It also creates an autorun file to start itself whenever a user accesses a drive.

The worm affects PCs running Windows 2000, 95, 98, Me, NT, Server 2003, XP and Vista, Symantec said. To block potential problems users could disable the autorun feature in Windows that automatically launches programs on CDs or USB drives.

Users could also exercise caution by holding down the SHIFT for a few seconds in order to deactivate the Autorun function when they plug in USB sticks or other removable media to their computers or when they insert a disk. Users should also make regular backups for their critical data by burning DVDs or using automated backup tools.

Pros:

  • Good for puzzle lovers, problem solvers.
  • Provides the old “falling colored coins (instead of heads) game” a new look and feel.
  • Includes a very helping tutorial.
  • Going gets tough as you move on so couldn’t be marked as easy!
  • Kids, specially those who hated tetris like games, because of its looks, should love the interface.
Cons:
  • Will no way attract the die hard mission lover game fans. (And unfortunately that is where the actual gaming profits lie)
  • No other negative point. A perfect time pass!
Review:
Are you a mission solver? Do you love to rip of the enemy tanks, and get the juice out of the battle fields? Then this is not the game you should download (but the 1 hour demo version is worth a download for everyone). Now for all those puzzle solvers, this is the game to look at. It sharpens your brain and give you the same old stuff packed with all the new glitters to keep you intact.
Dropheads is similar to a game I used to play years back where you are provided with colored coins and x*x matrix and you are required to arrange them in group of four or more. The only drawback which that game used to have was its theme. It failed to attract kids as it had no “instant” fun involved. But with all the colors and soothing music, dropheads is the game to look after. It keeps you eyes glued to the funny falling faces, your mouse running, brain thinking the next move, plus the ears listening to the soothing music.

Dropheads provides you with 2 modes of play. Arcade mode is for the quick thinkers. And the strategy mode gives you the time to think, to feel, to get involved!

The amazing tutorial provides you with every help you could think of one would need and also provides you the option to turn of the tutorial and play the game right away. It installs with just few clicks but does take some time (might be even 3 minutes in some machines, it took 20 seconds in mine!) to start. But the wait is worth it, as the interface you get to see is very loving for the kids and the puzzle solvers. Here I do count kids and puzzle lovers together as the game is made for both kind of audiences. The glitters to keep the kids intact and the task to make quick new move keeps the puzzle lovers intact.
The sudden bonuses bring the game back to life just when you start feeling that you will be greeted with the “Game Over” banner soon!
Conclusion:
Overall the game is worth the money and has all the ingredients for a complete timepass. A must see for tetris, colored coin falling game, and puzzle lovers. And it could turn out to be a good game for those parents who want there kids to play games to sharpen his/her brain and not to get indulged in the shooting games which could make him/her violent.

But NOT for those who love violence. And fortunately they would never understand the reasons why others love such games.
