Apple has unveiled new all-in-one iMac systems, sporting an updated processor, more standard memory and a faster graphics card. Retail customers will be offered new systems with Intel Core2 Duo chips ranging from 2.4GHz to 2.8GHz. Apple will also offer a new 3GHz Intel chip as an option for built-to-order 24in iMac systems. All the new iMacs will feature a faster 1066MHz system bus and 6MB of level 2 cache. All but the cheapest of Apple’s three standard iMac offerings will now ship with 2GB of Ram. The $1,199 20in model will sport 1GB of Ram and an ATI Radeon 2400 XT graphics card. The $1,499 model will have a Radeon 2600 Pro card, as will the $1,799 24in iMac.

Apple will also offer the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GS card as an option on built-to-order 24in systems. The new offerings mark the first major update to the iMac since August 2007, when a redesign offered a slimmer profile and a brushed aluminium casing. Apple’s latest financial report showed flourishing Mac sales, helping to boost the firm to record profits in the most recent quarter. Philip Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide product marketing at Apple, said: “With the latest Intel processors, a faster new graphics option and more memory, customers now have even more reasons to love the iMac.”

Well, its Monday night, which means the latest episode of Gossip Girl. This week’s episode is brought to you by XOR. If you haven’t checked out this show, its from the same guy who created the OC, so it might be for you. Personally, I just watch it for all the hot chicks.

Plot: It’s SAT time, and Georgina Sparks (Michelle Trachtenberg), Serena’s former partner in all things bad, returns to Manhattan. They go out to a bar one night and things go haywire. The next night, they decide to have a one hour dinner, no alcohol. However, Georgina spikes Serena’s drink, and she ends up missing another study night with Dan. Nate finds romance with Vanessa, the last person he would expect. Jenny meets a guy who could be her ticket to permanent popularity, but Rufus on the other hand, grounds her for the Valentino incident. Dan and Blair discover Vanessa and Nate are spending time together. Meanwhile Blair is trying to bring down Nelly Yuki, one of the smartest girls at Constance, so that she will wipe out the competition for Yale. She does so by keeping Nelly off focus by having her ex-boyfriend mess with her feelings so that she will screw up her SAT’s.

As expected, popular ETH0 group released proper version of Win XP Pro with Service Pack 3 integrated. Don’t let “Student Edition” tag in the name fool you. Under the hood it’s same version as Corporate Edition, but this “Student” doesn’t require any WGA cracks, activations or whatever. Best part is this copy will be recognized as legit one (Genuine) – means that (future) updates (from Windows Update) will work fine. So, download, burn, install – and after all enjoy!

P.S. In download links I’ve provided torrent for “Corporate Edition” too, just in case if you want it.

UPDATE: Build number here.

Description: Windows® XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) includes all previously released updates for the operating system. This update also includes a small number of new functionalities, which do not significantly change customers’ experience with the operating system.

Whats going on with NOsegment today? First they “proper” a release which is not even a scene release. They mention two releases in their proper notes which are not scene. They even admit that the latter is a p2p release which was on mininova weeks before the pre. Then they mess up the release name by putting two xvid tags in there. Finally this release got nuked for lacking an .sfv in the sub directory. It has now been unnuked due to the release of a subfix. All of this also pred in the MVID category! NOsegment, are you doing too much crack or am I just going insane? In any case this is a very well rated film which has received good reviews. This film WON the Oscar as “Best Foreign Language Film of the Year 2008″, so you all need to watch this.

Quality: The quality looks good as can be expected, both image and audio-wise. Even in the confusion that NOsegment seem to have created, this film should be very enjoyable. Remember to download the subfix for this release. I just read the NFO from the subfix btw. It was alcohol, not crack lol: “Subfix Notes: Forgot to create a .sfv for subs, im rather drunk at the moment so thats a valid excuse:P“.

Got home and saw that this hadn’t been posted yet so I’m getting down to it. OEM is a well known group that releases DVDRips and DVDScreeners onto the scene. This film looks like it could be quite interesting. The plotline seems to have potential at least but it hasn’t been rated yet on IMDB, so if you watch it make sure you tell us what you thought about it in the comments.

Quality: The qualiy of this release looks very good. There are no watermarks (blurred or otherwise) and no B/W scenes as far as I can see (i.e Black and White scenes that were not meant to be in the film). I just watched the trailer to this and it actually looks like a REALLY creepy film. Click the trailer link before and watch this horror flick. Looks like it’ll be worth your time.

Jeffrey leads a quiet existence. Living in constant fear of being labeled a psychopath, Jeffrey constructs a complex world of denial. He is haunted by the spirits of the vengeful dead, which he can see while no one else can. After meeting Dana, a beautiful young woman who shares his “sight”, Jeffery finds comfort in knowing someone shares his affliction. But his comfort is short lived. Dana suddenly goes missing and Jeffrey is left alone to find the answers.

I don’t think I’ve seen a 720p rip being released on the same day as the DVDRip, but its finally happened! I saw the R5 literally two days ago and I’m pissed off about that as this HD version would look so much better on my 40″ TV, but I’ll just see this as well . If you haven’t seen this movie already, I highly recommend you do as the plot is pretty damn good and it doesn’t seem like one of those typical hacker movies where they do things that we just know to be impossible, and the graphic deaths in this one also make it a good watch.

Quality: Too bad the audio is only AC3 448kbps instead of DTS 1509kbps or something, but hell who am I to complain? Video quality is great with a great bitrate of 5748kbps, and as usual, no subs.

A secret service agent, Jennifer Marsh, gets caught in a very personal and deadly cat-and-mouse game with a serial killer who knows that people (being what they are – both curious and drawn to the dark side of things) will log onto an “untraceable” website where he conducts violent and painful murders LIVE on the net. The more people who log on and enter the website, the quicker and more violently the victim dies.
