Megadeth‘s “United Abominations” is scheduled for release on May 15th, 2007. The single “A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)” was originally rearranged and re-recorded as bonus track/B-side for Japanese market and for the future special edition of the CD. The new version of the song features vocals by Christina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil) and additional original guitar solo by Glen Drover. The video for the song was shot in Los Angeles on March 8th and 9th, shortly before Megadeth went on the road supporting Heaven and Hell (Dio-era Black Sabbath).

“Set Me Free (A Tout Le Monde)” was released as radio single on March 16th, 2007. Dave Mustaine explained that the song is now titled “A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)” for the CD and “Set Me Free (A Tout Le Monde)” for the radio.

Vista PC Reviewed: Gateway GT5408 Desktop

This Gateway® GT5408 Desktop is one of three Vista PC’s I worked on shortly after Windows Vista was released. The other two are Gateway® GT5404 Desktop and HP Pavilion Slimline s7700n PC.

Specifications
Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E4300 dual-core Processor 64-bit processor with Intel® EM64T Technology (1.80GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache)
Operating System: Genuine Windows Vista™ Home Premium
Chipset: Intel® 945G DH Chipset(Viiv™)
Memory: 1024MB dual-channel DDR2 Memory (2 x 512MB), 533MHz (PC4200). Expandable to 4GB (2x2048MB) 667MHz (PC5300)
Video: Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with up to 224MB Shared Video Memory – VGA port
Audio: 8-Channel (7.1) High Definition Audio
Hard Drive: 320GB SATA II (7200rpm, 8MB cache)10
Optical Drives: 16x multiformat dual-layer DVD±RW drive
15-in-1 Digital Media Manager™ (Memory Card Reader)
56K ITU V.92 ready fax/modem (RJ-11 port)
Intel® 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN (RJ-45 port)
6 USB 2.0 Ports (2 in front, 4 in back)

2 Audio (Front): Microphone, Front/Headphone (Stereo)
1 PCI-E x16, 1 PCI-E x1, 2 PCI

Out of the box, Gateway GT5408 Desktop is somewhat an adequate performer. It does have an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor for nice performance potential. It comes with 1GB of RAM (2x512MB) and an integrated Intel GMA 950 with up to 224MB shared video memory. That leaves 800MB of RAM to the system. Booting Windows Vista on this PC is a little bit painful. Right of the bat Windows Vista is using 700MB-900MB of RAM and settles around 500MB.

To increase the performance of this computer, consider upgrading the Memory to at least 2GB and/or installing a decent Video Card with minimum of dedicated 128MB of video RAM.

This computer comes with an optical mouse and a USB-powered stereo speaker. The mouse is nice enough to use. The speaker lacks low frequency and sounds terrible when it comes to music.

South Park: Season 11 Episode 2 – “Cartman Sucks”

This week on South Park:
“Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……..”
Yet another ridiculous South Park episode.

From South Park Studios:

Butters has to go to a special camp where they “pray the gay away.”

As always, Cartman hit this one out of the park. You’ll laugh with Cartman. You’ll laugh at Cartman.

Synopsis from iTunes Store:

“Cartman S***s”

When his “ultimate plan” to embarrass Butters backfires, Cartman struggles to keep his classmates from seeing a compromising photograph. Meanwhile, Butters is sent to a special camp where they “Pray the Gay Away.”

South Park Season 11 on iTunes Store – UNCENSORED

If you are looking for South Park episode, you can get it at iTunes Store instead of downloading it off torrents from site likes mrtwig.net.

Remember downloading TV episodes off torrents is generally frowned upon by the TV networks. It’d be very very very wrong to download South Park episodes off torrent sites.
