Super Bowl Interfered By Porn, Google Earth 5, Hellgate: London is Finished, E3 Reveals List, Nehalem-based Xeon Chips By March?

So, if you watched the Super Bowl last night and you lived around Tucson, Arizona, you may have seen this happen. Apparently, as Fitzgerald was running in for his 64-yard touchdown, Comcast users were shown a short clip of a porno movie. "The offending video was only broadcast to standard definition viewers." Oh gosh, imagine if they also showed that hardcore action in high-definition. Apparently, this was done "by accident" and Comcast Cable are going to give everyone $10 off their next month's bill. This completely surpassed Janet Jackson's recent boobie-showing at the Super Bowl a couple of years back.

Today, Google announced the release of a new version of Google Earth. I talked about the possibility of Google releasing an Earth version with the option to view the ocean floor (here). Well, the rumour was true. "Among the biggest changes are the inclusion of a detailed 3D ocean floor, the ability to go up to 50 years back in time when looking at a particular location, record a virtual tour of locations, and a 3D rendition of Mars." As you can see, they added an amazing feature of Mars as well as the awesome ocean floor. The download is now available for Mac and Windows PCs so go and check it out.

Yesterday marked the end of Hellgate: London. Hellgate: London was an MMO for the PC and i don't really know much about it. I do know that my friend did boast about this game to me. He actually didn't end up playing it when i told him that it was a pay-to-play kind of game, like World of Warcraft. Anyways, they shut down Hellgate's servers. Game over for Hellgate: London.

E3 will be held from June 2-4 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The booth babes are making their return to E3 and hopefully this year will revive E3. They just released a list of all the exhibitors that will be present at E3. You can check out the list here, via ps3.qj.net. At E3 this year, we should expect to hear about the Nintendo Wii's "secret weapon software" plan that they say will push them past the PS2 as the world's top-selling console.

A new leak has revealed that there will be new Intel chips by the end of March. The quad-core Nehalem-based Xeon chips. These chips are pretty expensive "and tops out at $1,557 [USD] for a 3.2GHz quad-core Xeon W5580, with a 2.93GHz parallel costing $1,349 [USD]." These Nehalem-based Xeon chips are only quad-core and shouldn't be confused with the rumoured eight-core chips that may be announced this upcoming weekend at ISSCC (International Solid-State Circuits Conference). They have done some tests on these chips and they are said to be "roughly twice as fast as higher-clocked current Xeons in synthetic benchmarks."
