One of the things I love about the Macs is the MagSafe charger. My wordspace is very cluttered with wires everywhere and I tend to trip on them quite often. The MagSafe charger attaches to your device magnetically and pulls out with minimal effort, so whenever you trip on them the cord pops out of the charger port instead of dragging your expensive Mac with it. The technology is to be finally coming over the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

In a recent patent acquired by Apple they described the MagSafe technology coming over to the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Apple describes the the new method of charging your iDevice as follows:

Apple has been granted a patent for the assembly of a unit supporting MagSafe into an iOS device like an iPad as noted in patent FIG. 7 below. The patent states that (“In one particular embodiment, the connector may be a power connector such as the MagSafe.”)

Rumours about Sony’s new PlayStation coming-out-of-the-bag soon are widespread, and tongues have been wagging furiously that PS3 has finally topped itself out.

Despite all this, developers like Naughty Dog, and Guerilla Games have continued to squeeze just about enough to produce something better with each game outing, and they are not the only ones confident in PS3’s raw power.

Speaking to PSM3, Team Bondi’s boss Brendan McNamara – the team behind the critically acclaimed L.A Noire – has a few words of praise for the console that still has quite a few hefty punches left.

“I wouldn’t profess to be an expert about either one but I’d say from our point of view with the PS3, we think it’s got – with Naughty Dog’s new game – people just get cleverer and cleverer about it. Like what percentage of the raw power are they using up?

“What you can do on SPUs on PS3 is pretty amazing so we think there’s still a lot of life left in it. We’d certainly still like to do another [game] on it, so…”

L.A Noire utilized Motion-scan to bring their characters to virtual world with class. Let’s see what they can do exclusively with PS3.

The following guide will show you how to overclock your core i5 750 processor to 4GHz in just a few minutes, check it out after the break.

Cooling

It’s important that you have a good cooler for overclocking, the processor will heat up pretty quick and may even fry itself. I will recommend you to get Cooler Master 212+ as its a fantastic cooler and currently the best bang for the buck.

Accessing Bios and Setting up Overclock

When you are in the BIOS Setting look where the Overclock settings are, I’ll be overclocking through AI Tweaker (Using Asus P7P55 LX) just use the following settings for a steady 4GHz overclock.

AI Tweaker:

Ai overclock tuner = X.M.P

CPU Ratio Setting = 20

Xtreme Phase Full Power Mode = Auto

BCLK Frequency = 200

PCI-E Frequency = 100

DRAM Frequency =  DDR3 1600 mhz

QPI Frequency = ~6407 mhz

CPU Voltage Mode = Manual

Fixed Voltages = 1.38750

Apple has just release iOS 4.3.5 for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 1, iPad 2, iPod Touch 3G and iPod Touch 4G just ten days after the previous iOS 4.3.4 release. The update seems to fix a very critical issue.

The iOS 4.3.5 changelog had the following to say:

A security issue has been resolved with certificate verification.

What could this mean? We don’t know. We would recommend staying far away from the update if you have a jailbroken device and plan to make it stay that way since we don’t know if iOS 4.3.5 somehow manages to block jailbreak utilities. If you have a non-jailbroken device then you should update as soon as possible, how you ask?

1. Connect your device to your Computer.
2. Open iTunes and select your device.
3. Click “Check for updates”.

That’s it! Direct links from Apple for the updates are below:

• iPhone 4 (GSM)
• iPhone 3GS
• iPad 2 WiFi
• iPad 2 GSM
• iPad 2 CDMA
• iPad 1
• iPod touch 3G
• iPod touch 4G

Apple released BETA 4 for iOS 5 yesterday and it introduces a lot of speed improvements and bug fixes. If you want to download iOS 5 BETA 4 but don’t have a developer account click here, click here to download iTunes 10.5 BETA 4 which is compulsory for installing iOS 5 BETA 4 and finally if you want to know how to install the new firmware itself click here.

Redsn0w one of the best Jailbreak tools available has been updated once again to support iOS 5 BETA 4. MuscleNerd a member of the iPhone Dev Team had the following to say:

The 5.0b4 OTA update won’t work on JB devices due to an explicit check of /Applications..almost like a present from Apple

NOTE: It appears that by design, the OTA update that became available starting with iOS 5 beta4 will *not* be automatically applied to jailbroken devices.  That’s a relief to those who don’t want to lose their jailbreak via OTA pushes.  If you’re jailbroken, you’ll need to use the standard iTunes method to get to iOS 5 beta4.

So basically if you jailbreak your device it won’t be able to get OTA (over the air) updates in the future. Download links are below:

Download Redsn0w 0.9.8b4 for Windows
Download Redsn0w 0.9.8b4 for Mac

After The Riddler, it was Penguin’s turn to show his face in this latest trailer for Batman: Arkham City. This trailer was shown at Comic Con 2011.

Armed with his high-tech Umbrella’s and known for his love of Birds, this Penguin surely looks like a “Gentleman of Crime”. “Danny De Vito” portrayed The Penguin in the blockbuster Batman movie by “Tim Burton” which featured “Michael Kane” as Batman and “Jack Nicholson” as The Joker.

Gamespot exclusively revealed this Penguin trailer which shows Batman sneaking around trying to find Penguin meanwhile Penguin is taking care of his business along with his goons in what appears to be some sort of Prison. He is also killing cops who have “Dead Cop” written on their chest, there is also some sort of monster or perhaps some character from comics who is chained to the walls and seems to attack Batman. You can see the trailer below.

Asura’s Wrath is a new video game from developer Cyber Connect 2 and is being published by Capcom. This gameplay trailer is the first ever gameplay footage which shows a lot of pounding and pummeling. See it after the break.

We can notice a lot of fighting in this trailer. The graphics look really solid with their unique art style and the frame rate is quite stable. That is of course, if this is really in-game footage of this game running on either PS3 or Xbox 360. The thing that worries us is the camera. It seems to be locked behind the player like in Third Person Shooters, which really distracts the player from the action. If this is indeed the final gameplay and not the prototype design then we just hope that they at least make it less distracting so that we can focus freely on the action.

The fighting right now feels lacking but of course this game hasn’t been finished and it is still in the development phase. The in-game HUD hasn’t been finalized yet so it is missing in this video. Their is some sort of flying section as well where we will control the main hero and have to fly like in space shooters and dodge missiles.

See the full gameplay trailer below which is about 1 minutes long.

RAGE is being publish by id software, it is a first person shooter set in a devastated world which does sound a lot like Fallout but both are entirely different games. You can see the in-game weapons like Shotgun, Wingstick and Sniper Rifle in this video. Check it out after the jump.

The video which can be seen below introduces us to the weapons of RAGE. We will be able to upgrade them through out the game just like in Fallout. The graphics seem nice and the gameplay looks good. We won’t be restricted to shooting only as we can ride around in some sort of buggy from the looks of it during certain parts of the game.

So what will be your favorite weapon guys? Personally i love the Sniper Rifle but the Wingstick also looks like a nice weapon to try while the Shotgun is simply old-school fun.

Gevey SIM the universal tool used to run carrier locked iPhones and iPads on any network has been disabled in Apple’s latest update for iOS: iOS 5 Beta 2. The Gevey SIM is a SIM card itself but is quite thinner, both the Gevey SIM and the carrier’s SIM have to be inserted into the device together.

MuscleNerd a famous hacker who is responsible for quite a few jailbreak shared the news today on his Twitter.

it’s surprising Apple closed Gevey interposer hole in b2 rather than waiting until final (maybe they were under pressure)

So if you want to use your Gevey SIM your only choice is to downgrade to an iOS 4 version which can only be done if you had preserved your baseband.
