There has also been an leak image as well which has Big Boss is the main protagonist and has his Militares Sans Frontieres patch on his arm, Big Boss is shown sporting a sneaking suit, an assault rifle, and a set of cool-looking night vision goggles.

The game may take place in the United States because there is an shot of it in the mid-left of this cool screenshot.

UKNova removes torrents from it's site

UKNova, a well known torrent indexing site has removed it's torrent indexing. This was because UKNova has been getting threats of legal action from the Federation Against Copyright Theft. The Federation wanted to remove all material belonging to UKNova members and all torrents as well.

Unlike most torrenting sites UKNova never made money out of advertisements or fees from it's members. It has asked for donations from it's members if there want to. And untill now the site never got an single complaint for nearly a decade from 2003 till 2012.

About UKNova infomation ''UKNova was originally created in 2003 to enable people to share British television programmes. Initially the site focussed on soap operas, but quickly grew to coverage a range of television and radio entertainment.

The main aim of UKNova is to enable people to see programmes they would not otherwise be able to watch, perhaps because they live abroad or have missed something they wanted to watch when it was broadcast live.

None of the shows that are available from UKNova are stored on our servers. The UKNova website does not itself ‘share’ any copyrighted material with anyone else. It simply allows people who wish to share programming to link up with one another, using the BitTorrent protocol.

It is one of the fundamental principles of UKNova that we do not wish to cause any harm to potential revenue streams for broadcasters and programme makers. For this reason, no television or radio programme that is available for purchase worldwide from retailers, on CD, DVD or video, is allowed to be shared on this website. Please do not ask for material to be uploaded here that is available to buy. Such material is not allowed.

UKNova is free to use. It is not possible to buy ratio bonuses, special privileges, or anything else like that. The site survives purely from voluntary donations and all donations go towards the costs of running the server. If you use the site and the service it provides, please try to contribute to the running costs by donating.''

So what else is there to do on the site? Well the chatroom and forums still remain but the site is no longer taking in anymore members.

Apple new Tablet 'The iPad Mini'

Apple has just officially named the forthcoming 7.85-inch tablet the "iPad Mini." It might be coming out before we know it as some have been saying it's going to be launch October. It's been also called the big iPod Touch. But bad news, it's going to cost $629.00 at the Apple Store. But it won't have that high-resolution retina display that the iPad has. It's going to have a cheaper screen. So will you buy the new iPad or save your money for something else?

Kodak ends film and photo paper business

Kodak once well know for camera film and photo paper and all ends it's film and photo paper business. Yep it's got that bad, there already stopped making digital cameras to save money and soon Kodak will announce a buyer for the company. But some say it might not happen. It is said that Kodak is worth £315m ($500m) but the company says it's round about $2.6bn. So that could be an over rated fact.

So what does this post really on about? Well... Kodak are going to end making films for still cameras, photo papers, souvenir photo products at theme parks, scanners and picture print-out kiosks at stores. The only things there have left is printers, cinema film stock and chemicals for sell. Also Kodak patents attract have low bids from Apple and Google. Could this be the end of the company? If so Kodak will be a thing of the past. And could be dark days for photography.

DayZ Might Come to Consoles

Arma 2 mod DayZ could make its way to the consoles. This will only happen if the PC version sells well. Dean Hall said “You’re not going to put it on the consoles if you’re only going to sell 100,000 units or something like that, DayZ will be driven by its PC development and it will innovative on that. And, once we’re at a point, we’ll take it and do a Mac version, 360 and PS3.”

The news has brought good news for people who have been asking for a console version. But bad news for the hardcore PC community who didn't want it to move to the other consoles in the first place. Even so DayZ sell more copies and have more fans of the game. So what do you think of the news? Good or Bad? Do you love playing the game?

BoneyHead959: 1,000th Subscribers

Last night my YouTube account reach over 1,000 subscribers. I hope this year will be a big change for my channel and hope to imporve my videos and design of my channel before the years out. 2012 has been a hard time for me and my channel. I had lost over 80 subscribers because of the ''improvements to accuracy of subscriber counts'' from the YouTube Update. And YouTube may still have to get rid of more if I'm right.

But before that happens I hope to break my last record which was 1,125 Subscribers. And to upload more then 200 videos as well. Recently I bought a Hauppauge HD PVR (the basic one) to record my gameplay and to make my videos better. I also like to say thank you to all my friends and subscribers for getting me this far.

Google Battles Pirates: Burying Search Results

The well known search engines Google well soon introduce changes to its search engine that will discourage piracy by placing legitimate copyrighted content higher on there online pages. The company next week will begin using algorithms that push potentially pirated material to a lower position in search results, Mountain View, California-based Google said today in a blog posted on there own website. Many companies have been trying to force Google for years to take steps to make pirated content harder to find.

Ok so there a song you like but you don't want to buy it or just don't have the money? Put the song name on Google and it will sometimes guess what your trying to search. In this case it's going to come up with ''Free Download''. Once you type that in you get a long list of websites that you can download that song for free. That's what companies want to stop.

A online user called sallyrothwell had this to say ''The worst decision google has ever made. It will make google search the worst search engine in the market. Corporate big companies will rule the high ranks as paid for seo agents will derank competitors.

Those willing to pay the highest to these ceo companies will win, not by better content but by unethical practices for anti competitive behaviour.
Google ranks will look like the typical cable channel, with useless unwanted content filled with commercialization at the forefront and the real authentic content at the bottom.

The worst thing thing could have done was hurt the original design that has made them famous. The have dug their own hole and in five years, google will be another altavista''

Athene and other YouTubers still getting DDoS

Athene is well known for being ''The Best Gamer in the World''. In fact he had killed Diablo 3 last boss Diablo naked (without any armour). So why did he do it? Well he does like breaking records but the whole point of it was to raise money for poor kids in Africa. He would live stream himself by playing Diablo 3 naked (without any armour). The money made off the video would go to charity as well as the donations. Athene also sold his in-game armour in Diablo 3 by using the real-money auction.

Everything was going fine until Athene had been contacted by one of the charities saying that the donations were being ''taken back'' from the charities. At first Athene thought it was a technical difficulty but some were saying ''Kutless'' was stealing the money. Athene thought he was innocent until the charities proved that ''Kutless'' had different credit cards and emails and was taking the money back and so on.

It was time to tell the viewers what was going on by livesteam Athene was doing but he kept getting DDoS'ed. And it's not just him but his friends and people he has worked with keep getting DDoS as well. Not only that but Kutless also been calling Athene saying ''I know where your Mum lives''

Athene has said if he keeps DDoS his channel and his friends then he will take him to court. But right now he just wants to make videos.

Note: If there anything wrong with this post I apologise.

Blizzard have said as well it plans to automatically prompt its players to change their secret questions and answers, in addition to changing their passwords.
