		<description><![CDATA[Whether its flash cars, pure muscle or cars that win over the girl, these are the hottest cars you will have ever seen in film.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2761" title="Hottest Cars in Movies" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/06/HHottest-Cars-in-Movies1.jpg" alt="Hottest Cars in Movies" width="550" height="97" /></p>
<p>Cars and film go together like Salma Hayek in a bikini, Megan Fox alive and that girl from Fast and the Furious in a &#8217;67 Mustang. It&#8217;s part of our culture. We want to see muscle cars ragged through the gears until the valves jump up through the bonnet and do a little dance, we want to see half naked girls inside cars doing things that half naked girls do inside cars and we want to see hard men with bald heads pretend to know how to drive like F1 drivers. Here’s the hottest cars ever featured in film.</p>
<p><span id="more-2653"></span></p>
<h2>Chevrolet Camaro</h2>
<hr />
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="chevrolet-camaro" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/06/chevrolet-camaro.jpg" border="0" alt="chevrolet-camaro" width="504" height="339" /><br />

<p>Ahhh, good old Bumblebee – where would we be without him? The first Transformers film redefined how hot we all thought Megan Fox was. Seriously, in fear of sounding a little sexist, how hot did she look in that film? Right, back to Bumblebee – sorry about that. The specially designed Chevrolet Camaro – dubbed Bumblebee – became an iconic car within the film thanks to its starring role and vibrant paint job.</p>
<p>Not only did the car kick ass – remember, it was a Transformer and Transformers kick ass – but it also won our hero the girl – who was Megan Fox. Damn you Bumblebee!</p>
<hr />
<h2>All the cars from The Fast and the Furious</h2>
<hr />
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="Fast-and-Furious-Cars" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/06/Fast-and-Furious-Cars.jpg" border="0" alt="Fast-and-Furious-Cars" width="504" height="404" /></p>
<p>It’s probably fitting to mention The Fast and the Furious franchise, as the latest edition, The Fast Five, is currently available for your viewing pleasure. The first film, however, was the pick of the bunch for cars. Seriously, watch the film, there isn’t a storyline. It’s just Paul Walker pouting a lot, Vin Diesel flexing a lot and the two combined driving lots of exotic cars – or in other words, a proper film!</p>
<p>Who needs heartfelt storylines that push the boundaries of emotional rapture? Just get in your V8 and drive, sonny! The pick of the bunch has to be Walker’s Mitsubishi Eclipse, which aside from being green, was also extremely fast and made the girls fancy Mr. Walker even more. Great.</p>
<h2>
<hr />
<p>TVR Tuscan</h2>
<hr />
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="TVR-Tuscan" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/06/TVR-Tuscan.jpg" border="0" alt="TVR-Tuscan" width="504" height="379" /><br />
[<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thecarspy/2791312545/&amp;" target="_blank">Credit</a>]</p>
<p>If you’re a motoring fan, the years of 1999, 2000 and 2001 were just automotive porn. We were treated to car movies that were so cool even the cool side of the pillow couldn’t compete. One of the best films from that era was Swordfish. Starring John Travolta, a young Hugh Jackman and the extremely sexy Halle Berry, the film looked so achingly cool that you wanted to become a computer hacker even if it meant going to prison.</p>
<p>They used the fabulous TVR Tuscan for the main car chase scene, which not only immortalized the Tuscan as one of the coolest British cars ever made, but also actually gave Travolta some street cred – what a car.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Gone in 60 Seconds</h2>
<hr />
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="Shelby-Mustang" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/06/Shelby-Mustang.jpg" border="0" alt="Shelby-Mustang" width="504" height="318" /></p>
<p>Another film from the early 2000s, Gone in 60 Seconds is a cult classic that revolves around the premise of Memphis Raines (Nicholas Cage) needing to steal 50 cars in one night to save his brother from impending death. There’s car porn throughout the film, but the best one has to be 1969 Shelby Mustang GT500 – aka Eleanor.</p>
<p>Has any car looked that cool before? No, it&#8217;s not. The noise, the looks and the performance just create an appeal that few other cars can replicate. And with Nick Cage actually doing a stellar job of the acting, it just results in a proper petrolheads’ film.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Bad Boys</h2>
<hr />
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="bad-boys-porsche-964-turbo" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/06/bad-boys-porsche-964-turbo.jpg" border="0" alt="bad-boys-porsche-964-turbo" width="504" height="286" /><br />
[<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/varintsai/3830656323/sizes/m/in/photostream/" target="_blank">Credit</a>]</p>
<p>The original Bad Boys film featured Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as a likely double-act who acted brilliantly in combining humor and I’ll-kick-your-ass-if-you-look-at-me-wrong intimidation. The real star of the show, however, was the black Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 that Will drove.</p>
<p>If menace, power and stealth could be encapsulating into a car, the 964 Turbo featured in Bad Boys would be the example. Its amazing engine note just added even more petrolhead porn to a film that was already famous for its great car scenes.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Starsky and Hutch</h2>
<hr />
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="starsky-and-hutch-ford-torino" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/06/starsky-and-hutch-ford-torino.jpg" border="0" alt="starsky-and-hutch-ford-torino" width="504" height="378" /><br />
[<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/katescars/5223571325/sizes/m/in/photostream/" target="_blank">Credit</a>]</p>
<p>A Ford Torino, at first glance, doesn’t seem like a very cool car &#8211; it looks more like something your Nan would drive to church. But don’t be fooled, because all you need to do is paint it candy red, give it a white stripe and only allow cool, 70’s cops to drive it, and then you’ve got an iconic American muscle car that gets respect wherever it goes.</p>
<p>If you’ve never seen the original Starsky and Hutch and you’re under 25, you may be more interested in the 2004 interpretation that starred Ben Stiller and Snoop Dogg, but for anyone over 25, stick to the original.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Ronin</h2>
<hr />
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="Bullitt-Ronin" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/06/Bullitt-Ronin.jpg" border="0" alt="Bullitt-Ronin" width="504" height="337" /><br />
[<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wapster/4582486226/sizes/m/in/photostream/" target="_blank">Credit</a>]</p>
<p>What do you get when you combine a green Audi S8, Robert DeNiro, that guy who’s foreign but is always in really cool films and a great location? You get the epitome of cool, the daddy of acting and the film of the year. Ronin has become a cult hit for petrolheads across the globe.</p>
<p>It’s the Audi S8 that manages to take everyone’s attention, however, as it marked the start to the great run of properly cool Audis that came in the early 2000s.</p>
<hr />
<h2>The Dukes of Hazzard</h2>
<hr />
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="dukes-of-hazzard-general-lee" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/06/dukes-of-hazzard-general-lee.jpg" border="0" alt="dukes-of-hazzard-general-lee" width="504" height="338" /><br />
[<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8363028@N08/3095130704/sizes/m/in/photostream/" target="_blank">Credit</a>]</p>
<p>Driving an orange ’69 Dodge Charger named General Lee may hint to your fellow peers that you’ve been eating too much strong cheese at night, but despite the dodgy name and questionable paintjob, the car still manages to stay iconic – even today.</p>
<p>A lot of us think of Jessica Simpson’s music video for ‘These Boots are made for Walkin’ when someone mentions the Dukes of Hazzard – if you don’t know why, watch the video. But the film itself is still full of young, hormonal fun, and the General Lee easily manages to steal the show.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Mad Max</h2>
<hr />
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="mad-max-ford-falcon" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/06/mad-max-ford-falcon.jpg" border="0" alt="mad-max-ford-falcon" width="504" height="320" /></p>
<p>Most Australian petrolheads know that Eric Bana is a Ford Falcon man, and so it seems is Mel Gibson. The 1979 Australian-made film, Mad Max, gave Gibson one of his earliest hits, but for us, it’s the Falcon that won our hearts.</p>
<p>The reason? Well, it’s quite simple really – JUST LOOK AT THE ENGINE! It’s popping out of the bonnet! So, by using our combined petrolhead IQ, we can conclude that this Falcon is one of the finest machines ever made.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Tomorrow Never Dies</h2>
<hr />
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="bmw-750li-james-bond" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/06/bmw-750li-james-bond.jpg" border="0" alt="bmw-750li-james-bond" width="504" height="320" /></p>
<p>Whether you think Pierce Brosnan was a good James Bond or not is irrelevant, because of one key aspect to all of his films – the cars. The period between 1995 and 2004 (when Brosnan was Bond) gave us some of the most ludicrous plots, sexy women and incredible car porn ever seen in the franchise.</p>
<p>One of the best of the bunch was the BMW 750Li in Tomorrow Never Dies. The Li variant of the 7-series range featured some power than god, more luxury than any saloon in that price range and more gadgets than Q’s briefcase. Without this car, we may have all been directed towards Bronsnan’s questionably Bond performance. Thanks BMW.</p>
<hr />
<h2>The World is not Enough</h2>
<hr />
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="bmw-z8-jamesbond" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/06/bmw-z8-jamesbond.jpg" border="0" alt="bmw-z8-jamesbond" width="504" height="379" /><br />
[<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ejcallow/3761744689/sizes/m/in/photostream/" target="_blank">Credit</a>]</p>
<p>Another Pierce Brosnan Bond film and another incredible BMW – did the German marque have a deal going on? Hmmm. Anyway, The World is not Enough gave us another impossible plot that was about as believable as the rise of Gandhi, but most importantly, it gave us the BMW Z8.</p>
<p>The Z8, in truth, flopped like a fat man on a diving board, but the car looked so cool in this film it made every petrolhead want one – just not enough to hand over the pennies.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Death Race</h2>
<hr />
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="death-race" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/06/death-race.jpg" border="0" alt="death-race" width="504" height="404" /><br />
[<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53429844@N08/4978407216/sizes/m/in/photostream/" target="_blank">Credit</a>]</p>
<p>You’ve got to applaud Jason Statham; he’s made a career out of being as British as a bulldog and by being good at jumping and seducing women. His acting skills are close to non-existent but nobody notices because a lot of his films involve some of the finest moving sex shows on the planet.</p>
<p>The cars in a Statham film are paramount to its success, and the Shelby Mustang GT500 in Death Race certainly delivered its promise. With more modifications than a car from Need for Speed: Underground, the Mustang was as menacing as Statham himself. If you’ve got a spare 1hr and half, little expectation for acting and a love for cars, Death Race is the film for you.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Don't let their beauty fool you. These women can take you down with a blink of an eye.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="display: inline;" title="Top 6 Tough Female Characters on TV" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/Top-6-Tough-Female-Characters-on-TV.jpg" alt="Top 6 Tough Female Characters on TV" width="550" height="137" /></p>
<p>There was a time when female characters were most frequently relegated to the role of damsel in distress in action films and television. It was rare to come across a female character with a physically strong role.</p>
<p>Even today it is a struggle for female actors to get strong action roles, but there are a few gems out there. These women are emotionally strong and confident, but they can also kick butt . They know their crafts well and let the men who work with them know they are not just pretty faces or little girls in need of rescuing.</p>
<p>If you take a quick look around the web, there are plenty of references to past shows with obviously tough female characters. Xena: Warrior Princess, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sarah Connor (from Terminator), Wonder Woman, and many others who knew how to handle their weapons of choice in the 80s, 90s, and 00s. But a new generation of action heroines have emerged, and this list is a tribute to those who may have been overlooked.</p>
<p><span id="more-2629"></span></p>
<h2>1. <strong>Nikita from “Nikita”</strong></h2>
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="Nikita TV Show" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/Nikita-TV-Show1.jpg" border="0" alt="Nikita TV Show" width="304" height="229" /></p>
<p>The name is not new, nor is the premise for the plot. La Femme Nikita is world-renowned assassin with a serious chip on her shoulder. CW’s remake has revived Nikita in the form of Hong Kong action star Maggie Q, once handpicked by action legend Jackie Chan. Her character Nikita is soft-spoken but does not mince words. She has been to hell and back and is ready to take down the organization that turned her into the killing machine she is today.</p>
<p>Nikita can kill you with her hands, her super long legs, a knife, a sword, a handgun, and assault rifle, a homemade bomb, and probably even a computer virus. Her tactical IQ is off the charts, and her amazing ability to escape impossible situations borders on A-Team status.</p>
<h2>2. <strong>Bo from “Lost Girl”</strong></h2>
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="Lost Girl TV Show" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/Lost-Girl-TV-Show1.jpg" border="0" alt="Lost Girl TV Show" width="304" height="215" /></p>
<p>If you are not Canadian, you probably have not even heard of Lost Girl, but if you can watch it online, it is a worth a look. The man character is Bo, a woman with a very healthy appetite. She belongs to an evolutionary group called FAE, who live secretly among humans. She is a succubus, someone who feeds off humans by sucking their life force.</p>
<p>Despite the obvious problems with her biological need to feed, Bo is more or less a hero who manages to take on the darkest creatures and still save the day. While her preferred kill move is to suck energy right out of your mouth, Bo can also get you with her fists, any makeshift weapon that happens to be lying around, or her sharp wits.</p>
<h2>3. <strong>Olivia Dunham from “Fringe”</strong></h2>
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="Olivia Dunham Fringe TV Show" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/Olivia-Dunham-Fringe-TV-Show1.jpg" border="0" alt="Olivia Dunham Fringe TV Show" width="304" height="195" /></p>
<p>Fringe is a bone chilling look into the paranormal world of fringe science, which deals with teleportation, mind control, parallel universes, spontaneous combustion, and strange little bald men who stand around and take notes. Olivia Dunham is an FBI agent with some serious issues in her past. All of it would make a lesser woman vulnerable and maybe even insane, but Olivia channels it into her work.</p>
<p>Do not let her soft voice fool you, Olivia will shoot first and ask questions later. She can escape from just about any predicament through conventional or extraordinary means. She also has some of the smartest sidekicks in the history of television.</p>
<h2>4. <strong>Kate Beckett from “Castle”</strong></h2>
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="Kate Beckett Castle TV Show" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/Kate-Beckett-Castle-TV-Show1.jpg" border="0" alt="Kate Beckett Castle TV Show" width="304" height="176" /></p>
<p>Kate Beckett has a bit of an attitude due to her rather tragic past, but she still manages to crack a joke here and there in the midst of crime fighting. She is strong on two accounts: first, for catching bad guys and kicking butt, and second, for putting up with her tag-along writer sidekick Rick Castle.</p>
<p>Detective Beckett carries a standard police-issued sidearm and is not afraid to use it. She can also take a peep down in hand-to-hand combat, all while wearing high-heeled boots.</p>
<h2>5. <strong>Sarah Walker from “Chuck”</strong></h2>
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="Sarah Walker Chuck TV Show" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/Sarah-Walker-Chuck-TV-Show1.jpg" border="0" alt="Sarah Walker Chuck TV Show" width="304" height="219" /></p>
<p>Chuck Bartowski is probably the biggest wimp in the history of wimpiness, but he is very smart, like a computer. Fortunately for him, he has CIA agent Sarah Walker to protect his government-issued super brain. Sarah had a hard life before becoming an agent, and she regularly takes out that frustration on bad guys.</p>
<p>As a trained operative, Sarah can take down a mark with everything from C4 to a ballpoint pen. Whether dressed in combat gear or a night gown, Sarah Walker is always ready for action.</p>
<h2>6. <strong>Fiona from “Burn Notice”</strong></h2>
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="Gabrielle Anwar as Fiona - Burn Notice TV Show" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/Gabrielle-Anwar-as-Fiona-Burn-Notice-TV-Show1.jpg" border="0" alt="Gabrielle Anwar as Fiona - Burn Notice TV Show" width="304" height="177" /></p>
<p>Unlike the others on the list, Fiona is technically a sidekick, the ex-girlfriend from Michael Weston’s past, but Michael did not have an ordinary past. As a former IRA demolitions expert and gun runner, Fiona is not the kind of woman you want to dump. Fortunately for Michael, she’s with the good guys.</p>
<p>Fiona prefers to watch things blow up, but since she has knowledge of just about every kind of weapon you can imagine, you cannot assume you will be safe with her even if she’s only holding a shoe. She gets angry fast, but her heart is usually in the right place.</p>
<h3>Who is Your Favorite?</h3>
<p>This list only goes to six, but there are other tough female characters on TV these days. Who are your favorites, and what are their weapons of choice?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Four video games that never made it to release, but really should have]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2591" title="Video Games That Shouldn't Have Been Cancelled" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/4-Video-Games-That-Shouldnt-Have-Been-Cancelled.jpg" alt="Video Games That Shouldn't Have Been Cancelled" width="550" height="137" /></p>
<p>Game cancellations are to games fans what the destruction of Alderaan is to a Jedi. But despite the great disturbance in the force that results, and the millions of screaming voices that echo throughout the forums in the wake of a cancellation, games are usually axed for very good reasons. Not every great idea makes a great game, and the money that it takes to develop and publish a game isn’t always worth it. However, there are some games that, regardless of their resulting quality, would have done the world a favour by being released.</p>
<p><span id="more-2585"></span></p>
<h3><strong>Sonic X-Treme</strong></h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2587" title="Sonic X-treme" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/Sonic_X-treme_engine_test_screenshot-400x310.png" alt="" width="400" height="310" /></p>
<p>Arguably, the entire history of console gaming hinges on the failure of this game. Whilst the price of the hardware was a major factor, the SEGA Saturn died a premature death because it lacked a ‘killer-app’. In the mid 90s, that meant Sonic, even as games consoles matured away from the mascot craze of the early decade. However, internal studio politics meant that the SEGA technical institute, the American half of team behind 90s Sonic development, were cut adrift with little support and outright opposition from the Japanese team.</p>
<p>Sonic X-Treme’s failure to ship meant no significant Sonic title on the Saturn. SEGA filled in with a remake of the terrible <em>Sonic 3D</em>, the terrible racing game <em>Sonic R</em> and the terribly habit-forming <em>Sonic Jam</em> collection of Sonic’s original Mega Drive hits. SEGA left hardware manufacturing with the Dreamcast, and the Sonic franchise has had an image problem ever since. Because of this compendium of decline, <em>Sonic X-Treme</em> should have been released. Though if we’re honest, any game featuring a playable character named ‘Tiara Boobowski’ probably wouldn’t have set the world alight.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Chrono Break</strong></h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2588" title="Chrono Break" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/ChronoBreakDemo2-400x120.jpg" alt="Chrono Break" width="400" height="120" /></p>
<p>In the view of some, the noughties were all downhill for Squaresoft. The unexciting <em>Final Fantasy </em>movie necessitated a merger with Enix that seemed to turn the company into a machine that generated <em>Dragon Quest</em> and <em>Final Fantasy</em> spin-offs that appeared to have little to do with the philosophies and design of the core games. The ‘main series’ plodded through the decade whilst the new company began to create direct sequels, having avoided them for the best part of two decades. Meanwhile, the company seemed reluctant to nature its other properties, despite their success in the past. Few Mana games, no <em>Vagrant Story 2</em> and a premature end to the emerging <em>Chrono </em>series.</p>
<p><em>Chrono Trigger</em> was one of the SNES’ most important titles (and saw a popular re-release on the DS) and <em>Chrono Cross</em> was a technologically significant footnote to the original Playstation’s life. So when trademark filings by Squaresoft for something called <em>Chrono Break</em> were discovered in late 2001, there was plenty of excitement to go round. We’ve never heard anything more than this, and the original trademark has long since expired (though it runs until the end of the year in the EU and midway through next year in Japan). But I think Japanese Role Playing Game fans out there would sell their souls quite readily for whatever ideas were floating around when this one was registered.</p>
<h3><strong>Starcraft Ghost</strong></h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2589" title="Starcraft Ghost" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/31490-stghost-400x300.jpg" alt="Starcraft Ghost" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>Variety is the spice of life, yet since the mid 1990s Blizzard Entertainment have done quite well out of releasing Real Time Strategy and Role Playing titles. Action-adventure pays the rent at most other game developers, but Blizzard have curiously resisted. <em>Starcraft II </em>did plenty well on its own, despite 12 years of <em>Starcraft</em> drought, but there isn’t a gamer alive who doesn’t wish that this stealth-action game hadn’t been around in the interim.</p>
<p>Yes, it’s not ‘canceled’, but ‘indefinitely postponed’. It’s just that, in the world of video game development these things are one and the same.</p>
<h3><strong>Thief Modern</strong></h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2590" title="Thief Modern" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/Garrettsketchthief4concya0-400x200.jpg" alt="Thief Modern" width="400" height="200" /></p>
<p>This one sort of stretches the definition of ‘cancelled’. The truth is that this <em>Thief</em> reboot was cancelled after only about two months in production, and only because of the destruction of the Ion Storm studio. Details about a modern remake of this classic Steampunk First Person Sneaker emerged a little later: it transplanted the characters of the first game to a modern setting, swapping Garrett’s cloak and dagger for a hoodie and&#8230; well, they never got that far.</p>
<p>How would it have been received? Any series with a hardcore following that goes in such a drastic new direction would have had its work cut out. Reactions to the eventual <em>Thief 4</em>’s announcement were lukewarm over little more than a stylised title that read ‘Thi4f’. Yet there is also a feeling that a fourth game continuing on from the original’s neat trilogy was unnecessary. Personally, the idea of a contemporary <em>Thief</em> game sounds a little more than intriguing: how much more resonant would a game about thieving be when you’re stealing from wealthy bankers and politicians instead of barons and magicians? One wonders how Ion Storm would have sailed that particular sea of controversy though.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2619" title="15 Famous Landmark Birthdays of 2011" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/15-Famous-Landmark-Birthdays-of-2011.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="137" /></p>
<p>Birthdays are a must for celebrating whether it is a product or person. Don&#8217;t let any of these marvelous milestones pass you by without having some fun.</p>
<p><span id="more-2597"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title=" iPod " src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/ipod1g.jpg" border="0" alt=" iPod " width="335" height="279" /></p>
<p><strong>1. </strong>The iPod took the world by storm in 2001, and has been going strong ever since. It really put Apple brand into the mind of the consumer, and was the first &#8220;good&#8221; portable music device since the Walkman. With the popularity of playing music on your phone the iPod has taken a bit of a hit lately. Don&#8217;t worry though, I&#8217;m sure Steve Jobs still has a few tricks up his sleeve to keep the iPod relevant.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="Nintendo's Mario Bros" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/super-mario-bros.jpg" border="0" alt="Nintendo's Mario Bros" width="304" height="164" /></p>
<p><strong>2. </strong>Nintendo&#8217;s Mario Bros. franchise is one of the most successful video game series in history. It put Nintendo on the map, and made it a giant in the gaming industry. The original game that started it all came out in 1983, making it 28 years old this year!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="Soccer " src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/Finternational1.jpg" border="0" alt="Soccer " width="304" height="210" /></p>
<p><strong>3. </strong>The popular sport known as Soccer has been around since as early as the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC. It&#8217;s had many forms over the years, and it&#8217;s hard to put a definitive date on the beloved sport. We decided to go with 1863, which was when The FA (Football Association) first started up. The game got its first comprehensive set of rules around that time, and is now celebrating its 148th birthday on October 26th of this year.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="peanut butter" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/peanut-butter.jpg" border="0" alt="peanut butter" width="304" height="239" /></p>
<p><strong>4. </strong>Peanuts have been around a long time, but Peanut Butter as we know it today has only been around since 1884. This tasty treat celebrates its 127th birthday this year, making it one of the oldest on our list.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="lord of the rings" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/lord-of-the-rings.jpg" border="0" alt="lord of the rings" width="304" height="367" /></p>
<p><strong>5. </strong>The Lord of the Rings movie franchise was started in 2001 by director Peter Jackson. There were a few earlier takes on the famous books, but none were as successful as Jackson’s vision. The trilogy will have its 10th anniversary this year, and I&#8217;m sure there will be some merchandise to commemorate the occasion coming our way in the near future.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="Zippo lighter" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/zippo_lighter.jpg" border="0" alt="Zippo lighter" width="304" height="238" /></p>
<p><strong>6. </strong>Whether you smoke, or just need to start a fire; there is only one windproof lighter that&#8217;s known around the world. That lighter is the classic Zippo. The company was started in 1932, and the first lighter was produced a year later. The popularity of this classic lighter has never wavered, and 79 years later; it&#8217;s just as relevant as it was in 1932.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="sonic the hedgehog 1991" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/sonic-the-hedgehog-1991.jpg" border="0" alt="sonic the hedgehog 1991" width="304" height="204" /></p>
<p><strong>7. </strong>Everyone knows about Nintendo, but some people may have forgotten about a little hedgehog that loved to collect rings. Sega introduced Sonic the Hedgehog in 1991 as its official mascot. He never quite lived up to the Mario brothers, but was still very popular in his day. The little blue guy will turn 20 this year, and even though Sega isn&#8217;t a force to be reckoned with anymore, I&#8217;m sure we haven&#8217;t seen the last of this hedgehog.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="pencil" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/pencil.jpg" border="0" alt="pencil" width="304" height="204" /></p>
<p><strong>8. </strong>The origin of the first pencil is a bit sketchy (pun intended) to track down. Sometime before 1565, a massive deposit of graphite was found in England, and locals immediately noticed it was excellent for marking sheep. The first real &#8220;holder&#8221; for the graphite was string or sheepskin, which was wrapped around the graphite for stability. Going with the 1565 date, The Pencil will be around 446 years old this year. This makes the pencil the oldest (and most useful) item on our list.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="Nike FNightTrack 1978" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/Nike-FNightTrack-1978.jpg" border="0" alt="Nike FNightTrack 1978" width="304" height="229" /></p>
<p><strong>9. </strong>If you&#8217;ve ever seen the famous &#8220;swoosh&#8221; symbol, you automatically know it&#8217;s Nike. Nike is one of the most famous sports brands in the world, and they were first established in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports. They officially became Nike in 1978, and have done very well to say the least. Nike will celebrate its 33rd birthday this year, along with celebrating taking in around 20 billion dollars a year&#8230; Wow!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="purina mills" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/purina-mills.jpg" border="0" alt="purina mills" width="304" height="227" /></p>
<p><strong>10. </strong>Purina has been feeding animals since 1894, when found William H. Danforth began the company under the name Purina Mills. It&#8217;s one of the most famous brands in the world, and they continue to churn out the &#8220;the chow&#8221; to this day.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="google android" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/google-android.jpg" border="0" alt="google android" width="304" height="228" /></p>
<p><strong>11. </strong>The Android OS is still relatively new, but it’s slowly taking over the mobile market. Android Inc. was founded in 2003, and was purchased by the giant known as Google in 2005. It will technically be 8 years old this year, but has gained the majority of its following over the past two years.</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="Madden Football 1988" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/Madden-Football-1988.jpg" border="0" alt="Madden Football 1988" width="304" height="209" /></p>
<p><strong>12. </strong>The name &#8220;Madden&#8221; is synonymous with football. The popular sports game had its first release in 1988, and was called &#8220;John Madden Football.&#8221; The 2nd version came out in 1990, and it has been released annually ever since. The name was officially changed to Madden NFL in 1993, when EA Sports got the rights to use actually NFL teams &amp; players.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="fathers day" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/fathers-day.jpg" border="0" alt="fathers day" width="304" height="179" /></p>
<p><strong>13. </strong>The tradition known as Father’s Day was first observed in Fairmont, West Virginia in July of 1908. Over the years many politicians, and presidents like Calvin Coolidge, Woodrow Wilson, and Lyndon B. Johnson tried to get the holiday some national recognition. It wasn&#8217;t made a permanent National Holiday in the U.S. until 1972, when Richard Nixon finally got it signed into a law.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="skateboarding" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/skateboarding.jpg" border="0" alt="skateboarding" width="304" height="208" /></p>
<p><strong>14. </strong>Skateboarding has been around a bit longer than most people think. It got its start sometime in the 40s or 50s when surfers were looking for a way to pass the time when the waves were dull. It&#8217;s seen many changes over the years, and today there are over 20 million skateboarders worldwide!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="Xbox 2001" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2011/05/Xbox-2001.jpg" border="0" alt="Xbox 2001" width="304" height="182" /></p>
<p><strong>15. </strong>The Xbox first got its start in 2001, and it was Microsoft’s first entry into the gaming console market. They released the system to compete with the very successful Ps2, GameCube, and Dreamcast. It was discontinued in 2006, but really just upgraded to a bigger, badder version known as the Xbox 360.</p>

<p><img height="325" alt="twitter-audio-streaming-001-blipfm" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/09/twitter-audio-streaming-001-blipfm.jpg" width="450" /></p>
<p><a href="http://blip.fm/" target="_blank"><strong>Blip.fm</strong></a> is the grandaddy of all music-tweeting programs. Probably the most used music sharing web application for twitter. It is twitter for the music, where users share songs with each other in a Twitter-style self updating stream. Allows re-blipping of songs, which is <a href="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/the-art-of-re-tweeting-in-twitter/">like re-twitting</a> a tweet. It builds up a listener base (AKA &#8220;Followers&#8221;) just like twitter followers. Integrates seamlessly with popular web services like twitter, friendfeed and last.fm. It can automatically publish a tweet with the short song link for others to listen to your twitter stream. Recently it is also indexing music stream from youtube and Imeem. So far it is the best twitter music discovery and sharing application with the concept of twitter itself. Here is my <a href="http://blip.fm/ruhanirabin" target="_blank"><strong>Blip.fm profile</strong></a>. If you would like a quick tutorial on how to use Blip.fm, <a href="https://twitter.com/SharonHayes" target="_blank">@sharonhayes</a> has a <a href="http://sharontucci.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-to-share-music-with-blipfm.html" target="_blank"><strong>great article on sharing music using Blip.fm</strong></a>. Also if you would like to know <a href="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/how-to-download-any-song-in-mp3-format-from-blipfm/"><strong>how to download music from Blip.fm</strong></a>, I&#8217;ve already posted <a href="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/how-to-download-any-song-in-mp3-format-from-blipfm/"><strong>an article about it</strong></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>2. <a href="http://www.imeem.com/" target="_blank">Imeem</a></h3>
<p><img height="323" alt="twitter-audio-streaming-002-imeem" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/09/twitter-audio-streaming-002-imeem.jpg" width="450" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.imeem.com/" target="_blank">Imeem</a> has been around quite a while and it is already well known for social music discovery and streaming web application. They emerged their site to be tweet enabled so that users can tweet any streaming song over twitter easily including short links. Some songs at Imeem are copyrighted so they only allow preview of the song. Imeem&#8217;s custom Twitter integration makes it easy for people to tweet what they are listening to on imeem, making this a good search term to include (imeem also powers blip.fm and twt.fm, but you still want to include those terms because people might be tweeting <a href="http://www.imeem.com/" target="_blank"><strong>imeem&rsquo;s</strong></a> music from there)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>3. <a href="http://tinysong.com/" target="_blank">Tinysong</a> and <a href="http://listen.grooveshark.com/" target="_blank">Grooveshark</a></h3>
<p><img height="256" alt="twitter-audio-streaming-003a-tinysong" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/09/twitter-audio-streaming-003a-tinysong.jpg" width="450" /></p>
<p><a href="http://tinysong.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Tinysong</strong></a> is the simplest music sharing tool powered by <a href="http://listen.grooveshark.com/" target="_blank"><strong>grooveshark</strong></a> which is similar to Imeem but much more neat and robust application framework. <a href="http://listen.grooveshark.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Grooveshark&#8217;s</strong></a> collection of song and streaming is optimized and efficient. <a href="http://tinysong.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Tinysong</strong></a> takes advantage of the engine and creates shortened URL for the song to easily copy paste and tweet in twitter.</p>
<p><img height="249" alt="twitter-audio-streaming-003-grooveshark" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/09/twitter-audio-streaming-003-grooveshark.jpg" width="450" /></p>
<p><a href="http://listen.grooveshark.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Grooveshark</strong></a><strong>&#8216;s</strong> main interface also allows users to tweet the song.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>4. <a href="http://www.songtwit.com" target="_blank">Songtwit</a></h3>
<p><img height="380" alt="twitter-audio-streaming-006-songtwit" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/09/twitter-audio-streaming-006-songtwit.jpg" width="450" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.songtwit.com" target="_blank"><strong>Songtwit</strong></a> is yet another discovery engine with the advantage of adding your own song and tweet about it. It also indexes Youtube song titles for wider range of search. Pretty simple and easy to use, creates short URL for the song too.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>5. <a href="http://song.ly" target="_blank">Song.ly</a></h3>
<p><img height="327" alt="twitter-audio-streaming-008-songly" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/09/twitter-audio-streaming-008-songly.jpg" width="450" /></p>
<p><a href="http://song.ly" target="_blank"><strong>Song.ly</strong></a> is another good music discovery and sharing application for twitter. The discovery engine is powered by Russian media search engine Tagoo. Additionally it creates song.ly short URL for the songs you tweet. Doesn&#8217;t require you to log on to twitter and comes with a quick streaming of the song.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>6. <a href="http://twisten.fm/" target="_blank">Twisten.FM</a></h3>
<p><img height="274" alt="twitter-audio-streaming-004-twistenfm" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/09/twitter-audio-streaming-004-twistenfm.jpg" width="450" /></p>
<p><a href="http://twisten.fm/" target="_blank"><strong>Twisten.fm</strong></a> is a powerful tool which searches the Grooveshark library for songs, but it takes 2 powerful additional steps by allowing you to share what you&rsquo;re listening to directly from the site, and also searches your twitter timeline to create a stream of what your followers are listening to.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>7. <a href="http://twic.li/" target="_blank">Twicli</a></h3>
<p><img height="203" alt="twitter-audio-streaming-010-twicli" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/09/twitter-audio-streaming-010-twicli.jpg" width="450" /></p>
<p><a href="http://twic.li" target="_blank"><strong>Twicli</strong></a> is a free service that allows users to upload photos, audio and videos through the Twicli platform and display them to their friends on Twitter. Twicli is not directly a music discovery application but it is included here for the feature of uploading audio and able to tweet it with short URL.</p>
<p><a href="http://twic.li" target="_blank"><strong>Twicli</strong></a> has been designed with user experience in mind. We want the site to look and feel like Twitter offering a seemingly seamless transition from one site to another.</p>
<p>Users can upload photos and videos and comment on each, these comments are then broadcast on twitter via the means of @replies. The Twicli frontpage features the most recent content uploaded by Twitter users.</p>
<p>Twicli is powered by <a href="http://www.picli.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Picli</strong></a><strong>&#8216;s</strong> social photography technology alongside integration with the brilliant Twitter API.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>8. <a href="http://twt.fm/" target="_blank">Twt.fm</a></h3>
<p><img height="295" alt="twitter-audio-streaming-007-twtfm" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/09/twitter-audio-streaming-007-twtfm.jpg" width="450" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://twt.fm/" target="_blank">Twt.fm</a></strong> primary function as a slick tool for tweeting tunes to followers makes it useful for finding and sharing music on Twitter. In case the song you are looking for is not indexed then you can also provide an mp3, youtube, or imeem link to your audio.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Well that is all for now, hope these will enhance your experience on sharing music at twitter. Don&#8217;t forget you can find me on twitter <a href="http://twitter.com/ruhanirabin" target="_blank"><strong>@ruhanirabin</strong></a> if you want to let me know about your opinion.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/02/movies2009-300x93.jpg" alt="Sci-Fi/Action movies 2009" title="Sci-Fi/Action movies 2009" width="300" height="93" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-627" /><br />
Which are the most anticipated sci-fi action movies of the year 2009? I&#8217;ve always been fan of sci-fi and action movies. This year a few action movies and their sequel are coming out. All these movies made a huge fortune before because they have been made unbelievably realistic even for computer generated graphics. Specially for Transformers the computer generated graphics was so intensely realistic that it could made a person believe that they really exists. Films directed by Michael Bay are usually like being shouted at by a halfwit for two and a half hours, and Transformers is no exception. Trust me whenever I have some time on my hand I watch the Transformers movie. So lets get into some details of these movies. <span id="more-624"></span></p>
<h3>1. Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen (June 2009)</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/02/transformers_2009.jpg" alt="transformers_2009" title="transformers_2009" width="385" height="185" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-626" /><br />
<strong>Storyline:</strong> Decepticon forces return to Earth on a mission to take Sam Witwicky prisoner, after the young hero learns the truth about the ancient origins of the Transformers. Joining the mission to protect humankind is Optimus Prime, who forms an alliance with international armies for a second epic battle. The battle for Earth has ended but the battle for the universe has just begun. After returning to Cybertron, Starscream assumes command of the Decepticons, and has decided to return to Earth with force. The Autobots believing that peace was possible finds out that Megatron&#8217;s dead body has been stolen from the US Military by Skorpinox and revives him using his own spark. Now Megatron is back seeking revenge and with Starscream and more Decepticon reinforcements on the way, the Autobots with reinforcements of their own, may have more to deal with then meets the eye.</p>
<p>Sneak Peek trailer:<br />
<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QAujq_F_AD0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QAujq_F_AD0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object></p>
<h3>2. G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra (August 2009)</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/02/gi_joe_2009.jpg" alt="G.I. Joe 2009" title="G.I. Joe 2009" width="350" height="544" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-631" /><br />
<strong>Storyline: </strong> G.I Joe is a bigger name in the USA: the toy line that called Action Man gave rise to a popular 1980s cartoon series and long-running comics franchise. The storyline follows as an elite military unit comprised of special operatives known as G.I. Joe, operating out of The Pit, takes on an evil organization led by a notorious arms dealer. The trailer is out and actions seems pretty interesting.</p>
<p>Sneak Peek trailer:<br />
<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WsogJy3zxLk&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WsogJy3zxLk&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object></p>
<h3>3. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (May 2009)</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/02/x-men-origins-wolverine-2009-300x195.jpg" alt="x-men origins wolverine 2009" title="x-men origins wolverine 2009" width="300" height="195" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-630" /><br />
<strong>Storyline: </strong>Hugh Jackman&#8217;s back for an X-Men prequel set 17 years before the action of the first movie.The film traces the early career of Logan, the indestructible mutant who will one day be X-Man Wolverine. Cameos from future X-Men and the chance to see how Logan acquired his deadly claws and curious hairdo give the film a geek power that will set the internet buzzing ahead of the premiere. It will be interesting to see how this performs after the third X-Men movie was seen by many to be something of a mis-step in the X-franchise.</p>
<p>Sneak Peek Trailer:<br />
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OX6H7t1wXZI&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OX6H7t1wXZI&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<h3>4. Fast &#038; Furious 4 (June 2009)</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/02/fast-and-furious-2009.jpg" alt="Paul and Vin Diesel in fast and furious 2009" title="Paul and Vin Diesel in fast and furious 2009" width="400" height="168" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-628" /><br />
<img src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/02/fast-and-furious-4-2009-1.jpg" alt="Paul Walker in fast and furious 2009" title="Paul Walker in fast and furious 2009" width="400" height="267" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-629" /><br />
<strong>Storyline: </strong>Fourth in the franchise but (and pay attention, there will be a test) occupying the number three slot in the series narrative, the movie will take the story back to its very beginnings. Paul Walker and Vin Diesel reunite in the franchise that inspired a million minor motoring offenses and some real heart pounding cars. Yesss the Skyline R34 is back.</p>
<p>Sneak Peek Trailer:<br />
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/737QmQl_eYo&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/737QmQl_eYo&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<h3>5. Terminator Salvation (June 2009)</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/02/terminator_salvation-2009.jpg" alt="terminator salvation 2009" title="terminator salvation 2009" width="300" height="495" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-632" /><br />
<strong>Storyline: </strong>The long-awaited ‘future war&#8217; segment of the Terminator saga, previously only hinted at in the first three movies, dominates proceedings in Charlie&#8217;s Angels director McG&#8217;s bold reawakening of the killer robot franchise. Christian Bale, fresh from his spectacular triumph as one fanboy hero in Dark Knight essays another &#8211; John Connor, charismatic leader of the anti-Skynet forces who the Terminators have been trying to eliminate for the last three films. Roland Kickinger will be the principal Terminator this because Arnold Schwarzenegger is said to be too busy running California to appear as the iconic cyborg killing machine and Anton Yelchin, Sam Worthington and Helena Bonham-Carter are along for the ride.</p>
<p>Sneak Peek Trailer:<br />
<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VYc3vOmof_8&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VYc3vOmof_8&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object></p>
<h3>6. Star Trek (May 2009)</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2009/02/startrek-2009.jpg" alt="startrek 2009" title="startrek 2009" width="268" height="374" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-633" /><br />
<strong>Storyline: </strong>J.J. Abrams attempts to reinvigorate the slightly tired Star Trek franchise with a story set immediately before the action of the first TV series. Winona Ryder looks set for a return to the big leagues as Amanda Grayson – Spock&#8217;s mum. British geek god Simon Pegg turns up as Scotty, and Zachary Quinto the dark presence at the heart of TV&#8217;s Heroes certainly looks the part as a young Spock.</p>

<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2yrdEe95Hs0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2yrdEe95Hs0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><img style="display: inline" title="knight-rider-2008" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2008/10/knightrider01.jpg" alt="knight-rider-2008" width="579" height="181" /></p>
<p align="justify"><a rel="enclosure" href="http://www.nbc.com/Knight_Rider" target="_blank">Knight Rider</a> has returned after 25 years. Yes the new season premier of super pimped up Knight Rider returned to <a rel="tag" href="http://www.nbc.com/Knight_Rider" target="_blank">NBC</a> last September 23rd 2008. I&#8217;ve always been fan of Knight Rider since I was a kid. The New KITT 3000 is based on <a rel="tag" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_Mustang" target="_blank">Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 KR</a> edition which is specially named before Knight Rider. <a href="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/knight-rider-2008-music-video/" target="_blank">From the Pilot TV Movie back at February 2008 that I&#8217;ve talked</a> before was the way to gain experience about viewers and their needs. They actually get user feedback from forums and various blogs to learn about peoples expectations about the new Knight Rider. So after <a href="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/knight-rider-2008-music-video/" target="_blank">Pilot Episode TV event</a> the season premier was a lot of changes in the car features. Why not take a look below&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-455"></span></p>
<p align="justify">
<p align="center"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" title="knight-rider-02" src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2008/10/knightrider02.jpg" border="0" alt="knight-rider-02" width="400" height="356" /></p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Lets take a look at what features are cooking in the new Knight Rider</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Nano Technology Body, Self healing system that can regenerate back</li>
<li>Body transformations, switch between speed mode &amp; attack mode, similar to the technologies in Transformers</li>
<li>On screen display on the windshield</li>
<li>Software upgrades are possible to bring the car to new transformations and dimensions.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What Can be done:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Improve animation and CGI quality</li>
<li>Improve and put some emotional response into KITT&#8217;s voice (Mr. Val Kilmar)</li>
<li>Make Michael Knight a bit more professional attitude</li>
<li>More upgrades to the car such as self defensive weapon systems</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My favorite TV Series Smallville and <em><a href="http://www.buddytv.com/Heroes.aspx" target="_blank">Heroes</a></em> is starting up new seasons in September 2008. There are a lot of cast changes in Smallville (Season 8 and most probably the last season) and some in <em><a href="http://www.buddytv.com/Heroes.aspx" target="_blank">Heroes</a></em> (Season 3) too. Here are some story spoilers and news from <a href="http://www.BuddyTV.com" target="_blank">BuddyTV.com</a></p>
<p align="center"><em><a href="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2008/09/smallville-season-8.jpg"><img src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/userfiles/2008/09/smallville-season-8-thumb.jpg" alt="smallville-season-8" width="350" height="418" /></a> </em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.buddytv.com/smallville.aspx" target="_blank">Smallville</a>:</em> The CW is a network in desperate need of viewers, especially after their ratings fell even further during the writers&#8217; strike.  Considering that <a href="http://www.buddytv.com/smallville.aspx" target="_blank">Smallville</a> is one of the most popular scripted shows on the network, they simply can&#8217;t afford to lose it.  Besides, <a href="http://www.buddytv.com/articles/smallville/profile/tom-welling.aspx" target="_blank">Tom Welling</a> is already signed on for an eighth year, making renewal an easy decision. However, not every actor is signed on for <em>Smallville </em>season 8, and that&#8217;s where the problems come in. <a href="http://www.buddytv.com/articles/smallville/profile/kristin-kreuk.aspx">Kristin Kreuk</a>, <a href="http://www.buddytv.com/articles/smallville/profile/allison-mack.aspx">Allison Mack</a>, and <a href="http://www.buddytv.com/articles/smallville/profile/michael_rosenbaum.aspx">Michael Rosenbaum</a> were only contracted for seven seasons, which means they had the option to leave the show if they desired to.  The CW attempted to renegotiate deals with all of these actors, but Kreuk and Rosenbaum decided not to return full-time.  Mack, however, did sign up for the entire year, and may even direct an episode as well. Can <em>Smallville </em>survive without Lex and Lana? <a href="http://www.buddytv.com/articles/smallville/who-will-stick-around-for-smal-16771.aspx" target="_blank">&#8216;Smallville&#8217; Season 8 to Lose Cast Members</a>.</p>

<p><em><a href="http://www.buddytv.com/Heroes.aspx" target="_blank">Heroes</a></em> : The writers&#8217; strike completely changed <em><a href="http://www.buddytv.com/Heroes.aspx" target="_blank">Heroes</a></em> volume 3. <span id="more-432"></span>If you&#8217;ve already purchased and watched the <em><a href="http://www.buddytv.com/Heroes.aspx" target="_blank">Heroes</a></em> season 2 DVD, you know that&#8217;s not an understatement. The real season 3 of <em>Heroes</em> premieres on <strong>Monday, September 22 at 9pm</strong>. While the virus is contained and Elle won&#8217;t necessarily be going after Sylar by herself, the season 2 DVD features provide an exciting look into what could have been. <a rel="tag" href="http://www.buddytv.com/articles/heroes/heroes-the-volume-3-you-wont-s-22352.aspx" target="_blank">Heroes volume 3: what you wont see</a>?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[When NBC announced the movie event on 2008, I was anxiously waiting to see my childhood hero, the machine. On February 2008 the Knight Rider re-appear on the screen with a new look and new features. I love the car because it's a Muscle Car. The Car used for the new Knight Industries 3000 is a 2008 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR. Some of the upgrades are impressive and some are not. From my point of view the Car have to be more Impressive in a manner of features. Well they have shown the magic of NANO Technology that the car can heal itself and KITT is been plugged with the Latest technologies like Internet and so on. The Knight Rider 2008 was actually a test to gain the weight of the people whether they want the new series to be start or not. There was a huge feedback from people that they want to see the series start again in new dimension. Finally they've planned to do more research and preparing it for the TV again. It is scheduled at the Fall to return as TV series on Wednesdays. This time the man behind the KITT 3000 wheel is the son of Michael Knight (Knight Rider Original).]]></description>

<p>I remember when I was a young boy I did finish all my homework and pray to the clock to reach faster to 9PM. Why? My Dream show on TV, what else. I&#8217;ve been fan for technology, robots, aerospace and any Sci-Fi all my life. It was like if I miss one episode then life would be meaningless. Anyway I remember one day I was with my mom and dad, attending a social party. Later on I fall asleep and my mom was carrying me back home and I was dreaming of driving <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KITT" target="_blank">KITT</a> while my mom was carrying me. In fact it did make strong impression on my mind that I was shadow driving the car. Yeah I know it&#8217;s hilarious but I would give anything to go back to that time.</p>

<p align="justify">I&#8217;ve manage to make a mash-up or you can say a remix of this TV series pilot event.. mostly focused at the return of <a href="http://knightrider.wikia.com/wiki/K.I.T.T._(3000)" target="_blank">KITT 3000</a>. Music is Inspired by Brian Tyler Feat. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash_(musician)" target="_blank">Slash</a>&#8216;s guitar instrumental called &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEDJG0mfGh0" target="_blank">Mustang Nismo</a>&#8221; featured in the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0463985/" target="_blank">Fast and The Furious : Tokyo Drift</a>. I found the music most appropriate because <a href="http://knightrider.wikia.com/wiki/K.I.T.T._(3000)" target="_blank">KITT 3000</a> is a <a href="http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?section_id=15&amp;article_id=5124" target="_blank">Mustang GT500 KR</a>.</p>
