Microsoft might have actually read the average user’s mind this time. It is now offering DirectX 11 for both Windows 7 and Windows Vista platforms. Last time most of the people didn’t even bothered downloading DirectX 10 cause it was only available with Windows Vista.
The easiest way to download this baby is from the regular Windows Update. The update not only guarantees the DirectX upgrade but also many other improvements.

This is turning out to be some mod season. Not just next door mods but really good mods for the Xbox 360. Few days ago, the Lara Croft Mod attracted my attention and now its the XCM Black Light Chameleon Case Mod For the Xbox 360. Pretty cool if you want your 360 to glow and look ubercool.
The Black light in this mod might give you wrong ideas. There is no black light and so you must have realised it by now, its all about the case being black. And the LEDs change colors of your choice. There are 7 different colors in all. If you can’t make up your mind, you have the option of auto-cycle colors from time to time.

Yea, I know, Microsoft isn’t that great when it comes to gaming but Intelli did a pretty decent job. And now comes the Microsoft Sidewinder X8 Bluetrack gaming mouse. What’s special? A user configurable 250 dpi to 4000 dpi is enough for me.
The 13,000 fps image processing of the Bluetrack is mindblowing. Also, the 2.4Ghz wireless controller has virtually no latency according to Engadget. It comes with a cable that can be used to charge the mouse while you are playing with it. The feet of the mouse can also be changed to suit your glide and use. A single charge can give you 30 hours of play.

As usual, Microsoft has promised a ‘new and improved’ version of the Internet Explorer and that is how (also by logical numbering) Internet Explorer 8 was born. Its predecessors I should say where profoundly popular and also downright useless when it came to security. Well, lets see what the new Internet Explorer 8 has to offer.
As usual, the developers talked about focussing on the browser-friendly perspective, enhanced security and a better platform for the developers all around the world. Some of the noteworthy features are the compatibility view, inPrivate browsing, SmartScreen filter etc. and not so new search suggestions.
