Maxim Australia March 2012

NEW UPLOAD

There are precious few actresses with the acting and action chops to stand up to big boys Robert De Niro and Jason Statham. Yvonne Strahovski is one of them. Playing a farm girl who gets caught up in a web of violence in Killer Elite, she adds some much-needed sexiness to an otherwise testosterone-heavy movie. Yvonne, who left Australia to play a dorky spy’s CIA contact in TV show Chuck, has more than just looks and talent. Just check out her three-in-one parody of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Ke$ha on the College Humor comedy website to witness the dazzling, down-to-earth Aussie’s (literally - she’s from Sydney’s beachside suburb Maroubra) sick sense of humour.

The sound of soft reggae playing from an iPhone can be heard coming from a corner of the team locker room. In the heart of Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen, world famous hippie neighbourhood Christiania's football team are gearing up for an important match - and they have a most unusual warm-up regime. “I'd say that 85 per cent of the team are cannabis or hashish smokers," says striker Philip as he walks onto the pitch, armed with a wide smile and a lit joint. His 10 teammates congregate languorously in the stands, in various states of happy highness. With a first aid kit brimming with rolling papers, and local bar Woodstock as its official sponsor, this club is a team like no other.

Lingerie Insight March 2012

NEW UPLOAD
What does celebrity mean to you? We belong to one of the most celebrity obsessed cultures in the world. The UK public gorges on celebrity gossip in a manner that could, in fairness, be judged almost obscene by someone who had never been introduced to the salacious offerings of The Sun or The Daily Mail.
While this could be viewed as simply an odd quirk of the British - and perhaps US - national psyche, it is nonetheless a quirk that has far reaching consequences, particularly in the sphere of business.
There is no shortage of brands and retailers who recognise the power of celebrity endorsement in pushing demand. Yet, increasingly, celebrities are beginning to question whether giving their name to a company’s product is the most lucrative way in which to use their pulling power.
More and more stars are now looking to profit more directly, either through forming collaborations with brands or stores, or through setting up their own label.
Celebrities turning their hands to design is by no means a new phenomenon. In intimate apparel, Elle Macpherson and Caprice are just two of the names that spring to mind who have very successfully formed their own brands and now garner considerable respect within the sector. Yet, with more and more ‘names’ seeming to enter the market every week, is the celebrity game going too far and is it beginning to diminish fashion as a whole?
In this issue, we speak to a series of celebrities and high profile industry members in attempt to find out whether celebrity is simply a useful marketing tool or a bane to ‘true’ design potential.

PC Gamer March 2012

NEW UPLOAD

It's always been PC Gamer's policy to play games through to completion at least once before writing our reviews. But as games become increasingly isn't easy to define particularly in the case of MMOs. Not only do they require hundreds and conceivably even thousands of hours to explore every narrative path with every class and character configuration, but they also evolve over time. And the pre-baked content available at launch is only one aspect of a game like The Old Republic, whose creative community and ambitious post-launch plans will determine its ling-term fate and whether or not you'll still be playing it a year from now. So when we review an MMO, we have to balance respect for the game (by experiencing enough content to assign a fair verdict) without readers desire to read our review of that game within their lifetimes. Your demand a comprehensive, exhaustive evaluation, but you don't pay us to take our sweet time.

FHM India March 2012

NEW UPLOAD

100 bucks says when this issue comes out, a reporter will have a neurotic moment, run naked down the hallway screaming "pilferage" and declare this picture to be a copy of another picture that Miss Balan had posed for a couple of years ago. There’s only a small hitch - that other picture (the one this one is supposedly copied from) is one of ours too. So dear journalist, it's not your fault, it could have happened to anyone. After all, Google is a complicated thing.

A lot has changed in the 17 months since that cover though - Miss Balan has gone out and delivered one of the biggest hits of the year - The Dirty Picture, redefined sexuality, and kicked the ass of all and sundry. And we at FHM would like to believe we have had some hand in that no matter how deluded that belief might be. Why didn’t we try and do something massively different with this cover, you ask? Truth be told, we just didn’t want to. But we did go out and reinterpret it.

As far as this issue is concerned - Miss Balan is just the coattail. This issue has a lot else that’d keep you occupied, while the taxmen run amok on your salary slip. We’re not on his side, but if you are going to get taxed silly you might as well enjoy it. On the subject of blokes we don’t look up to, we did make a list of India’s most uninspiring men (page 76).
Guetta is coming to India, Dyk just left - so we’ve got you an interview from one and an insight on the other and also threw in a really hot DJ - Sarah Robertson into the mix (page 46). She might not be on the top of the DJ pile, but she looks better than Dyk and Guetta put together, so they’d want it that way.

We’ve also got you an interview with Jonathan Neale - McLaren’s Technical Director and Michael Schumacher’s boss (page 58) and threw in the GP Calendar and the season’s new rules. There’s seven-time Moto GP world champion Valentino Rossi with tricks on how to get inside an opponent’s head and his view on bike crashes (page 114). We’ve also got you another biker - this one has ridden across five continents with his camera (page 62), while India’s No I squash player Dipika Pallikal gives a crash course in squash and India’s biggest luge player Shiva Keshavan answers something we’ve always wanted to know - why grown men get on top of a tray and fling themselves down sharp inclines wearing tights (page 108).

Between it all, somewhere there is an interview with Nicholas Cage (page 94) we’d commissioned before Ghost Rider 2 went up in a big ball of flame and 22 women talking about what you do wrong in bed (page 84) - a feature guaranteed to shatter your confidence. Upgrade has a personal favourite - a guide to going off the grid and deleting your browser history (page 101) for times when changing your phone number doesn’t cut it.
And then there is teen-pop sensation Taylor Momsen who has been kind enough to take off her top and caress a porn star for a shoot. Enjoy. And spare the tax guy even though the world will be better off without him, but a magazine as responsible as FHM will never incite you to be violent, so what if you'll only have enough money for free peanuts by the time he’s done with your payslip.

PC Powerplay Magazine March 2012

NEW UPLOAD

When is a sequel not a sequel? Or, to put it another way, when is an expansion pack not an expansion pack? The answer : when it's an expandalone. That hideous yet amusing portmanteau is how the Creative Assembly is dubbing Fall of the Samurai, the next, uh... installment in Total War series. It's not a sequel to Shogun 2 since it uses the same engine and mostly just adds content, a new setting several hundred years after Shogun 2, new units, new clans, a larger campaign map, foreign powers to deal with, and so on, as well as some crucial gameplay tweaks. But it's not an expansion pack either since it is a standalone release that means you do not need the original game in order to play Fall. So, yeah, it's and expansion that stands alone, an expandalone.

Of course, it's not the first expandalone. Last year saw the Retribution add-on for Dawn of War 2 released as a standalone title. GTA IV's Episodes, The Lost and Damned and the Ballad of Gay Tony, are playable even without the original game. Go back two decades and Origin released The Serpent Isle as Ultima VII : Part 2. A whole stack of new content built on the same engine as Ultima VII, and continuing the same story, it was perhaps the very first expandalone.

Stuff Worlds Best Selling Gadgets Magazine April 2012

NEW UPLOAD

There's a common misconception that all the good gadget stuff happens elsewhere; that in order to be overawed by innovation you need to hop on plane to Seoul, Silicon Valley or Seattle. For many, 'British Technology' means Corby trouser presses and wind-up radios. As we delved into our Best of British feature, it became clear just how inaccurate that impression is. Britain makes some of the most exciting cars, hi-fi and apps in the world, and we also happen to have invented and still be developing the technology at the heart of every smartphone and tablet worth a glance. Britain is anything but a tech minnow.

There's more British greatness to be found later in the issue, where we pit our homegrown movie streaming service against the invading force. We then move swftly on to a melange of sometimes wacky, often brilliant wearable technology and polish odd with five of the most beautiful carbon fiber objects your eyes will ever see, one of which is an extremely sexy turntable. A good, dependable, British turntable. Makes us proud, it does.

Tattoo Life UK March April 2012

NEW UPLOAD

Henk Schiffmacher known by all as Hanky Panky has fulfilled the dream of a lifetime, he has created a museum which is dedicated to the art of tattooing. It is located in Amsterdam, the city where he has lived his whole life. With the help of various institutions and an understanding Dutch government, he has poured his whole private collection and donations received into The Amsterdam Tattoo Museum, the first museum of its kind in the world. It's not a gallery, there are plenty of those around, but a center which has finally made the world of tattoo art an institution. This an achievement which every tattooing fan should be proud of because ATM is the official point of reference which has always been missing, the heart of tattooing in a world which is lacking in well-defined boundaries, to use a wonderful phrase coined by Henk himself "The New Rome of Tattoo Art".

If you're not paying for it, you're the product. Information may want to be free, but companies want to make a buck off it. And they're being a little too free with my information, if you know what i mean. I DON'T WANT to get all spooky-music, Jarring-chord, 00gy-boogy at you, but have you noticed how much of your life is being quietly handed around without anyone making much palaver?

Take Google's new privacy policy, for example. Sure you can choose to opt-out in a couple of ways, but anyone who has an Android phone is no accepting that they will be tracked across the web and across the globe. Many of us may already have suspected that happened, but hey, no it's definite. Yay for transparency right? Except that transparency means very little without the ability to change things.

Still. That's all the bad stuff, yeah? Well, no. Facebook has shut down almost every avenue by which you can get data out of its vast frankensteinian moreass of a site. Instead you send data into a vacuum. Well, if you can call it a vacuum when Facebook is locking
your data up so that it can entice advertisers. Advertisers who then throw 'sponsored stories' out to you on whatever platform you're using right now. So far, so bad.

Today's inkjet printers are capable of producing everything from production-quality prints to consumer-grade images and text, quickly, quietly, and affordable. As a result, however, there's a world of difference among them when it comes to features and price. Keep the following in mind when shopping for a new inkjet printer.

The up-front cost of an inkjet printer might be your primary purchasing consideration, but don't forget the long-term expenses you will incur to keep printer churning out pages. Thankfully, many printer manufacturers list the number of pages you can expect to get out of the respective color and black cartridges. To determine the cost per page, simply divide the ink cartridge cost by the number of pages the printer will print per color and black cartridge.

I'm writing this note in January during a heatwave in Cape Town. The temperature has been in the thirties for a few days now. There's a big thunder storm predicted in three days, which will cool us down a bit. I really hope the weather people get that right.

Meanwhile places further north have had lots of rain. The Kruger National Park has been hit by massive flooding. According to the South African Weather service we are in for some strange weather in February, March and April. In the summer rainfall areas they are expecting that all rain due for these three months may actually all fall in February.

They also predict winter to come earlier this year, so it will be getting cold in April. It's truly fascinating to me that they can predict the weather this far ahead.

FHM Philippines February 2012

NEW UPLOAD

Think You know how to woo a lady? Think again. We spoke to some people who know a thing or two about girls to see where you're going wrong.
1. If you see a girl you fancy, make eye contact with her across the bar (wrong) : Just go up and say hello.
You think you're giving her a smoldering, flirty stare, but she's just scared and confused. Or convinced you're looking at her friend, or worse your reflection in the mirror behind her. The longer the stare goes on, the weirder it gets.

2. Wait two days before calling after a date (wrong) : Contact her the next day.
The "two-day" rule was invented in the '90s, when you had to be standing next to your home phone to receive a call. When everybody takes their mobile phone everywhere, waiting two days to call just makes you look like you're not interested. Which can make women feel snubbed, and keen to reject you back.

3. Chat-up lines are cheesy (wrong) : chat-up lines are funny.
Chat-up lines are no longer an embarrassment. Pull the off with enough confidence and they can work to your advantage. The rules : Avoid anything crass. If you say something original, unexpected and funny, then you'll definitely get a girl's attention. It helps if the girl is laughing with you-not at you though.

If there was ever a month that need a level skip, it's January. A money cheat would be a good boost our depleted inventory too. Thankfully February is here with a whole new console, the PS Vita and we've got the first reviews of the launch line up. Forget the negative reports from the Japanese launch, it's hard to find anyone who's had a go and hasn't come away impressed. Vita is joined by the first wave of 2012's big reviews while no less than Death himself galloping in exclusive with Darksider II. The original was a bit of a lost gem and this sequel could fully realize its potential. And, hey, it'll be a good conversation starter when you finally get to meet the original hoody wearer himself.

Despite Apple's complete silence on the matter, it seems safe to assume that an iPad 3 is just around the corner. I've cleared my schedule for the first week of this month on the chance that Apple holds an event and I get an invite. The speculation over what the next iPad will look like and do differently is rampant, but i think this is a good opportunity to look at what features should not be included in the next generation tablet. Progress is important, but there is no reason to gild the lily.

Apple can boost performance, but throwing a quad-core processor into the iPad3 could be a mistake. It could hurt the iPad unheralded killer feature, its battery life. A quad-core processor would no doubt please gear heads and make for a nice talking point, but Apple doesn't need to score points here. A fast, dual-core processor with little help from discrete GPU should be more than enough power to run apps and even games.
