The former will see a number of local events and some great sales being offered, which we discussed in a recent post, the latter will go by while just 2 percent of U.S. Facebook users will go ahead with the deletion of their accounts. That's right, today is the day when a group of people wish for you to delete your social network account, but recent apocalyptic predictions of a mass exodus from Facebook has been overrated. Quit Facebook Day was first thought up due to the recent privacy issues that have hounded the social media site and its users – so why the failed attempt? There are a couple of reasons why Facebook users decided to not go through with deleting their accounts, the first is due to a number of new privacy options announced by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and the second is that these users feel that there is no substitution for Facebook at this moment. According to an art...

There are two questions that we hope to see answered at WWDC 2010, when will Apple launch its new iPhone and will it be available on Verizon Wireless? We are almost certain that Steve Jobs will unveil the new iPhone, which has been dubbed 4G, as it is the fourth-generation Apple smartphone. But do not expect the CEO to announce the release of a Verizon version at the event. We know that Apple and AT&T have extended their exclusivity agreement – most likely until the end of the year, but we have heard reports that we could see a Big Red version in September. However, there is no more proof of this since WSJ broke the story a couple of months back. Jobs will have a hard time telling the world of the new design and features of the next iPhone – this has something to do with a recent iPhone prototype appearing on Gizmodo. Suzanne Choney from MSNBC points out a great statement from Gene Munster, an Apple analyst from of Piper Jaffray, saying that Steve Jobs has “little room for sur...

We recently learned that Motorola were to launch the Shadow – we had assumed that this will be the Droid 2, but we have since learned otherwise. The former should be released sometime in July with the latter following shortly after and now a prototype has been spotted in the wild. Engadget were giving a tip by Howard Forums members Mabbikeel and Tuan Tran, we can clearly see that the new Droid will be smaller in size as it has done away with the huge main button to the right when turned on its side, and that it will be in chrome and not black – but let us not forget that this is just a prototype. The keys look much better than the current Motorola Droid as they protrude more in their center – so typing should be much easier than before. Let us hope that the Droid goes on a diet, as the current model is certainly one of the heaviest Android handsets on the market. According to Droid Life they reckon that Droid 2 has shown up in the Verizon inventory system – they even have a screen grab...

There is no question that Red Dead Redemption for the Sony PS3 and the Xbox 360 is one of the biggest games of the year, but what makes the game so popular? We could go on for hours discussing that but the simple answer is hunting in the wilderness. This can be a daunting task, but thanks to GamesRadar, they have a detailed hunting mission guide for you to study. Hunting is the easiest way for you to make money, so learning all there is to know will help you progress through the game. The hunting guide will make it easier for you to locate each animal that you need to kill, but we have to point out that these are just approximate locations – but they will be very close. Once you get to the location explained in the hunting guide you will need to do a scout around the area – bringing along bait will make this job much easier. Some of the best advice when hunting includes: If you have nothing to show from your hunt then come back later. However, you should never go home empty handed. The...

Are you looking forward to the 3D jetpacking action which Killzone 3 will be offering? If so we have some good news for you, it seems as if Sony have set a release date for the game’s release. According to a recent article posted on ComputerAndVideoGames Sony has internally set a release date for Killzone 3, apparently we should expect it in May 2011, which is slightly more accurate than the Spring 2011 release date which was previously rumored . Some other details were also ‘reaffirmed’, such as more than one online co-op mode, including a standard two-player co-op and a four-player co-op as well. As for standard multiplayer gaming, we can expect to see vehicles too. Other confirmations include PlayStation Move compatibility, Stereoscopic 3D gameplay, jetpacks with guns on them, all of which seem pretty neat. For more information check out the source link below.

Just a quick celebration of this morning's news: Robbie Bach is retiring from Microsoft. I'm so happy for him. And for Entertainment and Devices. And Microsoft. This is a great opportunity for E&D to evolve and restructure. And, of course, a great opportunity to really screw up who to put in charge and such. And yes, J Allard is out of here as well. Don Mattrick and Andy Lees step up. Also: David Treadwell side steps. And Office shuffles up a little bit. What would you do with the various groups, products and who else would you put in charge?

For those of you who own a netbook and feel that it lacks power in the GPU area, then you will be pleased to learn that NVIDIA has announced the GeForce GTX 480M. The new Graphics Processor Unit supports DirectX 11 and also brings Fermi Architecture to Notebooks. These small laptop devices have always struggled in the graphics department, but the GeForce GTX 480M offers a speed increase of up to 5 times that of other GPUs on the market. In the press release sent to Engadget , it mentions that netbook makers will no longer feel restricted when designing a new model – knowing that there is a GPU on the market that can handle what is thrown at it. That Fermi Architecture that we mentioned above now means that netbooks installed with the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480M will come with almost three times more cores than any previous version. This means that the users will be able to watch videos much faster than ever before. The first netbook to take advantage of the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480M ...

Last year Dell revealed plans to impact the smartphone market, we are now hearing that U.S. carriers may soon be offering Dell’s impressive Streak handset. Earlier today we revealed details regarding an O2 UK release, we have now heard some information regarding a U.S. release, albeit a bit vague. Apparently the Dell Streak (formally the Dell Mini 5) will be available in North America sometime this summer, no carrier details have emerged yet, however it could be a popular handset with it’s massive 5 inch capacitive touchscreen display and 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Despite earlier reports suggesting no Android 2.2 FroYo update was expected, SlashGear suggest that FroYo will come later this year, the reason for the delay is said to be due to Dell's customized UI, it’s a bit of a shame that the handset doesn’t come out-of-the-box with the latest Android version. Will you considering upgrading to the Dell Streak? Source: SlashGear

We have an update on the long awaited release of Gran Turismo 5 on the PS3 now, as have heard further reports that 3D support is the primary reason for the delay of the game. We wrote this report back in April, which first informed you about a delay due to upcoming support for Playstation Move and 3D capabilities. We now have a fresh report from Eurogamer for you to check out, which states that a source close to Sony has indictated that extra development time on the game has been needed, in order to implement the new technologies within 3D and Move into GT5. We recently heard that the game was 90 per cent finished, so does that mean we are now at the 99% stage? Let us pray.
