Sandy Bridge is around the corner (or probably already available depending on where you are), but it’s on a totally new Socket 1155. For those enthusiasts upgrading, this might be a problem if you’re going to port some of your hardware over. One important thing is compatibility of CPU heatsink. You might need to buy a new heatsink mounting kit, but if you’re using Noctua’s heatsinks, then worry not.

As the heatsink mounting holes for both LGA 1155 and LGA 1156 sockets are identical, Noctua’s NM-I3 SecuFirm2 mounting kit for LGA 1156 will support Intel’s upcoming ‘Sandy Bridge’ platform. Also, Noctua has announced that owners of older Noctua CPU coolers who wish to upgrade to the upcoming LGA 1155 socket will be able to obtain the appropriate NM-I3 SecuFirm2 mounting kit free of charge! Sounds great right, considering that other heatsink manufacturers might leech you off by offering new mounting kit ‘for a price’.

Every big shot was there: Sony, Ubisoft, Activision, and Blizzard. There’s more, but there’re just not enough bytes to put them all here. SGT. Woods is the man of the year for VGA 2010, beating Ezio from Italy and his bird face friend, also the famous John Marston of the cowboy hero from San Diego, and not forgetting Kratos the guy with a scar. Looks like that scar of Kratos didn’t boost his chance of winning, too bad Sony.

It seemed that we’re right after all. Intel’s next generation Core processors aka Sandy Bridge is supposed to be revealed at Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2011 in Las Vegas, but surprisingly it seems that some of our local retailers already have them on sale. Just two weeks before 2010 goes for a closure, and Sandy Bridge is already popping out at Low Yat Plaza and Digital Mall PJ. CES 2010? Meh…

Polyphony promised a patch to fix ‘few’ things of the Gran Turismo 5 that was launched not long ago, but nobody actually expect such a huge patch. Yes, when you get home later and update your Gran Turismo 5, you might want to prepare some errand to run around, as this might take quite some time. 608 megabytes might not be a very simple update patch mind you. But then, the patch is really worth the update, trust me. Let’s have a look.

Think you might be sinful? Had the itch to commit a crime due to the Satan in you? There are always the good and bad in you, quarrelling everyday like husband and wife and judging every moves and actions that you take, just like in the cartoons. Well, sometimes committing a crime and going to jail isn’t a very bad thing. Hey, at least you get to raise sheep and grow veggies. Sex is even permitted. That is, if you’re heading to this new Danish State Prison. They look a lot better than those low cost flats that we have around.

Here’s a “hidden anima teacup” designed by Ange-line tetrault from the hidden village of Japan. It would probably be cool to use when you want to make a simple prank on your guests. Well, the holidays are getting near, so you might want to seek for these cups, though I think you’ll get very busy cleaning up your living room too, pending on the outcome of the pranks. There’s potentials to increase the ranges too.
