I have been a huge of Max Payne series and literally enjoyed every single moment of each of the previous 2 instalments. At this current age, playing Max Payne 1 would make you feel like playing pac-man 
, considering the graphics of the game. Nevertheless the game still rocks and its quite addictive to me.
I have waited a very long time for Max Payne 3.The game was originally scheduled for release in late 2009. However, it was pushed back to 2010 alongside several other Take-Two Interactive franchises in order to "benefit from having more development time." In June 2010, the game was again pushed back to 2011. On December 21, it was not present on the 2011-2012 calendar year, and was pushed back again. The game was still said to be in development and not cancelled or indefinitely halted when Rockstar released two new screenshots for the game 
. On September 8, 2011 Rockstar announced a March 2012 release date for the game, and a trailer of the same was released on September 14.
Above is the trailer released of the game a week before.
Definitely what’s to expect from this trailer is simply Rockstar’s magic of a super engaging storyline mixed with awesome graphics and gameplay mode.
The storyline, whats revealed as of now, goes something like this.The former New York City detective, Max Payne,still haunted by the memories of his traumatic past, begins a new life working private security protecting a wealthy industrialist and his family in Sao Paulo, Brazil. When gangs target the family under his protection, Max is forced to fight to save his clients and clear his name, in a bid to, once and for all, rid himself of the demons that have tortured him for far too long.
From what Rockstar’s Sam Houser, it is their intention on starting a new chapter of Max Payne’s life with the game. He was quoted as stating "This is Max as we’ve never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever." The entire game seems to be set in São Paulo, Brazil, and is set 8 to 12 years after the events of the second game.
The posters for the game is really awesome and looks more like GTA style. Anyways when it comes to mind blowing graphics, gameplay and storyline, you can always count on Rockstar to deliver it with confidence 
Max Payne 3 has surely taken its sweet time to hit the market but finally I see a ray of hope of its release now.
Am sure excited to check out the game. What about you guys? Please post your views on this upcoming game

Many times we come across situations when we need to share our computer with others. Though we can give them a separate account to login to but except for the document folders and user folders (which are separate for every account on Windows), the other drives are still open for everyone to see.
Today, I will show you a way, via which you will be able to hide any folder from viewing from any other account other than the admin account. 
The steps are pretty simple and I have tried my best to explain them with a series of screenshots, still if you get stuck executing them at any moment of time, feel free to approach me through comment section below.

Videos are available these days in several formats. One of the formats that’s getting popular today is the .mkv format. That’s because movies compressed in this container is much smaller in size without compromising much with the quality. 
Though VLC media player is considered as one of the best players since it’s able to play most of the files, however depending on it for every format is not smart, because though it might be able to play the file, it won’t play it at optimum quality. Moreover, personally, I don’t like the look and feel of VLC player and so I don’t prefer much to watch movies on it.
There is nothing better if you can somehow play each and every format in your very own reliable Windows Media Player. Well, you sure can…and that’s possible with the help of a little plug-in ‘KLite Codec Pack’. KLite is a free software package that has to be installed on your PC to help WMP play files like .mkv ,.rmvb ,.rm etc. Also if you download the ‘ultimate’ package you will realize that you have an option to install Media Player classic too 
There are four variants of the K-Lite Codec Pack:
The basic variant contains everything you need to play all the common video file formats. Such as AVI, MKV, MP4, OGM, and FLV. This pack is for those who like a small no-nonsense pack.
The standard variant contains some additional features compared to the basic variant. It contains Media Player Classic, which is an excellent player for video files. It also has (better) support for playback of DVDs. This pack is recommended for the average user.
The full variant has many additional features. It supports playback of several (lossless) audio formats. It contains VFW/ACM codecs that can be used for encoding. It has playback support for a few legacy audio and video formats. This package is suitable for power users.
The mega variant has almost the same contents as the full variant, but additionally contains some extra DirectShow filters and VFW/ACM codecs.
Some of my personal favourite features include
Personally, I would recommend my readers here, looking out for new codec packs, to try out KLite once. Am sure, you wont be dejected with the ample features it provides.
If you do download and try it out, don’t forget to share your valuable experience here

I am a download addict. I simply love downloading stuff from the internet. Internet has grown so huge, that these days with a little intelligence and using the power of Google anyone can find everything they want on the Internet.
Needless to say, the rise of Online File Storage sites such as Rapidshare,Megaupload,hotfile, Fileserve etc along with torrents has only made downloading more easy. Having said that, am pretty sure that most of you….who aren’t much of a techie…but interested in downloading or are new to it, won’t know about external Download managers. Well, to explain in short, download mangers are external software’s that help manage your list of download externally…Some of the features appealing in these managers are ‘pause and resume’ facility, keeping track of completed downloads and managing the downloads depending on type of object being downloaded
Moreover, these download mangers have options to optimize the speed you receive for downloading. Though a simple Google search for free download managers would give you a dozen of options, FDM(Free Download Manager) is my personal favourite. It is a powerful, easy-to-use and absolutely free download accelerator and manager. Moreover, FDM is 100% safe, open-source software distributed under GPL license.
Above is a screenshot of the FDM application. You can see many options/tabs in the window. There are many sort options on the left hand side. Also, the downloads could be sorted on basis of categories.
Some of the most appealing features of this software is
All the above features i listed are my personal favourites and the main reason because of which am faithful to using FDM for the past 5 years. i have tried several other download managers too but for me, FDM features beats them all.The full list of features is cited here.
Download FDM and try out how it works out for you. feel free to share your valuable feedback later here.

Brute force is a common attack these days apart from phishing attacks. What happens in brute force is the attacker first tries to find some basic information about yourself. This is not a difficult task considering that these days public is more open to reveal personal information in social networking sites like Facebook, Friendster,MySpace,Orkut etc..Once the attacker gets such information, he tries to guess your password out of it. This method isn’t difficult and most times it is found effective since people usually formulate their password based on family,places names etc.
However one drawback of this method is that the attacker has to use permutation combination to guess the password and that means more time and attempts to do it successfully. This is where ‘Login lockdown’ comes into picture. This is a very effective plugin for WordPress which blocks out the IP address after repeated attempts to hack it.

Recently Facebook has crossed ‘Ebay’ in terms of revenues to make it the 3rd largest website. And after this move, there is no stopping it.There had been some rumours few days before about Facebook going to introduce its own email system. Finally,it seems to be true as now Facebook has started a page for the same where in it is made clear that this service would be ‘invite only’.
However the term ‘Email’ would be incorrect as Zuckerberg describes it more as a ‘Social Inbox’. According to him this system will be like an inbox for filtering the messages you want to see from friends. However interestingly people can now have an email address @facebook.com 
…cool,huh!!!
