Skin Deep Tattoo April 2012

NEW UPLOAD

About three months back, I left Facebook. Left it forever both professionally and personally - it’s an insane place to be at the best of times. What began many years ago for most of us as a place to keep in touch with old friends we had long since moved away from (and let’s be honest here, we only did that to make sure they weren’t getting on any better in life than we were), has turned into the world’s biggest party... and I'm not even in the kitchen.

On the plus side, I have reclaimed an estimated whole day of my life back. On the downside, nobody wishes me good morning anymore, nobody is LTFAO at something mildly humorous that I stole from somebody else to post, and nobody is updating me on what they had for breakfast or how shit their car is today...

Worse still, I have gone from thousands of friends to just three who - as luck would have it -1 knew before Facebook launched and are still around. When I first announced I was going to leave, one of my FB friends asked me not to because it was “handy to know what I was doing without having to speak to me”.

Thanks. That made me feel really wholesome and warm inside.

The really scary thing however - especially for those of you who have the hub welded to your souls - is that I reckon 98 percent noticed I’m not there anymore.

You know it’s time to move on when the huge companies move in and start asking you to hook up with them via their TV adverts. What was once a cool place to hang out and see some funny pics from days gone by has become big business. For those of you who use Facebook as your only source of PR and business, I would suggest you think carefully about this. It’s not your special space. It’s the world’s special place. At the stroke of a button, they can be away from your lifes-work and milking pigs at Farmville. It’s rather like going out for a drink with somebody who insists on messaging their other friends while they’re sitting next to you.

Step back for a second and take a look at the screen you’re locked into. Seen how many subliminal messages are loaded up on the page that will take your digi-pals elsewhere?

... and twitter? I’m a writer. How am I supposed to say something in 140 characters when I can’t even make a decent point in less than 1,400 words? I don’t think so. If you’ve got nothing to say, why not shut the hell up?

Surely having your own online house is the way to go? Do you really want to live and conduct all our business in a digital hostel? Social networking will die in the next three years - be ready. A party with that many millions of guests can only end with somebody being sick in the garden.

I know this because I checked in on MySpace on the way out of the door. But none of that is an excuse not to like us on Facebook all the same ;)

March Gladness!
It's March, baby! Sorta. Magazines, you see, print a bit in advance. So at press time, we here at Maxim don't know who just won the Super Bowl. We don't know who is nominated for the Oscars, and we also don't know if America will ever elect black president (I'm writing to you from 2005, by the by.) But one things we do know is what you guys love : sexy women, sexy beaches, and sexy rock formations. That's why we put together our exhaustive list of "The Sexiest Tings in America," featuring our first-ever Hometown Hottie girl, Dominique Storelli! i could go on and on about what you're about to read, but I'd like to share this, my favorite e-mail sent by our managing director, Yeun Littlefield, as this issue was being made : "We need two shots of the rubber vagina: one showing it open with banana, and one showing it closed." I couldn't agree with Yeun more. Happy reading!

Gamecca Best Games Magazine March 2012

NEW UPLOAD

I haven't ranted or complained about anything in Unstuck for a while (or at least, not that I remember), but a culmination of events happened in the last couple of weeks that spurred the following frustration.

As game reviewers we receive a good amount of electronic entertainment to keep the reviews flowing, and it's an unfortunate part of the job where we have to write about the not-so-stellar attempts for some developers.

Sometimes a game is enjoyable, but there are just certain elements that don't see to work well. Anybody that knows me will know that I'm huge FIFA fan, so when the latest PES title came out, I wasn't too excited.

But regardless for the title, I popped in the game and... There it was, staring me right in the face. I didn't quite know what to make of it, or how I should handle the situation. I glanced away, hoping not to make eye contact, and decided to keep things professional.

While there have been a couple of similar incidents, the same unfortunate occurrence happened with a more recent title - Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.

The remake (or HD re-release, if you prefer) was developed by Konami. Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 was also developed by Konami. So while both games were developed by the same studio, they have something more sinister in common. Something so vile, that I'm not sure if I will survive another encounter. oh the horror.

At this point you might start to wonder what has me so afraid of Japanese games? Well, it's actually a very simple answer: pink. That's right, the colour pink. While most games make use of traditional colours, Konami for some strange reason like to violently and unannounced throw in sporadic splashes of pink - and I wish they would stop.

There is nothing worse than putting in an extremely manly game such as Metal Gear Solid, just to confronted and pushed into a corner by pink. Anybody who knows what I'm talking about will know what kind of pink I'm talking about.

It's not the "let's have a cup of tea” kind of pink, nor is it the "will you hand me my teddy” kind of pink. This type of off-red bundles you into the corner and loudly shout "You will see me and you will like it”.

Why? I'm no expert in colour, but why do you have to torture me with a colour that clearly doesn't fit in with any of the others that you have chosen for the title. Pink in PES I can still understand to a degree, but then again, they used it at all the wrong moments.

So while I was typing this, I had a spark of an idea. What if pink actually meant something in Japan or in Japanese culture? What if I don't like it, and it has some or other hidden meaning? Nah... what are the chances of that, right? I mean, it's only pink, a shade of red that lies between red, white and magenta colours.

And so it turns out that pink does actually mean something in Japanese culture, but it's not what you might think. It turns out that pink has a masculine association. According to Sensational Colour, "The annual spring blooming of the pink-blossomed cherry trees (the Sakura) is said to represent the young Japanese warriors who fell in battle in the prime of life (the Samurai).”

As a side note, if it wasn't for Western influence, the Chinese would never have known pink, and the Chinese word for pink translates as "foreign colour.”

I guess I'll be a bit more understanding and patient when I play games developed by Japanese studios. I have to admit that I was quick to judge a game by its colour, but at least now I know why some games will feature the colour.

It's still a stupid shade though.

These words on top aren’t really “words” in the English language, but they pretty much sum up how we’re feeling right now. Smug, satisfied, a little drunk and somewhat queasy. Why? Because MAXIM celebrates its Sixth Anniversary this month and to commemorate that, we’ve turned the magazine on its head. You know, for you! So what you’re holding in your hands is the effort of countless man-hours, fervent discussions, bloodied noses and at least 18 disgruntled bartenders.

As much as we like to pretend we don’t give a jack, we know you guys love change (for the better), want more (of the good stuff) and wanna cut through the BS (now more than ever). To help you do that, MAXIM has evolved to better suit who you are and, more important, where you are: Younger in spirit, more urban, sophisticated and much more aware O. This magazine has always been like you and tried to help you celebrate that.

MAXIM’s fresh new design—we had last changed our look in January 2010—has been inspired by your feedback and your abuses (which we’ve really encouraged over the last couple of years) and it’s made a huge difference to how we look at our content, our presentation and our larger-than-life brand 0. We have made tiny tweaks throughout 2011, including the addition of new features and renovation of our logo in September. But a complete overhaul was due. So, voila! here it is...

It's About The Feel, Not Just The Look
Like the movies are to their audience, a magazine is a mirror image of its readers O. Since 2006, all of you—all of us—have preferred to highlight who we are and make no bones about it.

We hate pretence, we like things straight up. MAXIM’s brand new format O reflects this belief more than ever. BTW... Our hot Coverqirl Sonam Kapoor makes her second appearance and blows us away. You may need to buckle up before you catch the smokin photos.

More Room For Content
With a better flow for our regular sections, we’ve been able to create the perfect balance of words, pictures and illustrations. So all the things you love about us remain the same, but now allow you to show your love with sloppier kisses and tighter hugs.

Easier Access To Your Favourite
Simplicity is the fuel for us now, right? We don’t have the time and patience to plough through mountains to find O what we need. We want things as orderly as possible, because that gives us the scope to wreck 'em, flip ’em inside out and make a mess. Our sentiments exactly. So, we’ve taken all your favourites—Shock, Sexy In Public, Autoporn—and bundled them into a new section called StashQ. It’s all together, ready to blow you away.

So there it is. Fresher, sexier, faster and better. We’re excited about 2012 and we’re sure you are too. Feel free to curse the hell out of us at mymaxim@maxim-india.com. Let’s rock the joint with this New Mojo, but the Same Attitude, and let the beer flow.

Sebagian besar orang Indonesia masih berpikir belum merasa makan kalau belum makan nasi. Karena pikiran seperti itu pun, Indonesia menjadi negara konsumen nasi terbesar di dunia. Konsumsi beras Indonesia bisa mencapai 139 kg per orang per tahun. Dan pada akhirnya, nasi menjadi makanan wajib orang-orang Indonesia yang harus dimakan di setiap waktu makan. Nggak hanya itu, hampir semua rumah makan di Indonesia menyediakan menu yang utamanya nasi, entah itu nasi goreng, nasi uduk, nasi rames.

Kemudian apa yang akan Anda pikirkan kalau makanan yang Anda santap tiap hari itu ternyata bisa membunuh Anda pelan-pelan? Dan bagaimana kalau ternyata nasi adalah makanan yang berbahaya itu? Nasi memang menjadi makanan pokok yang akhirnya membuat orang ketergantungan, tapi di satu sisi bisa membunuh Anda secara perlahan. Jadi seharusnya Anda sudah tahu apa yang harus dilakukan selanjutnya. Tidak harus mendoktrin untuk tidak makan nasi lagi, hanya sekadar mengurangi konsumsi.

WE DEMAND A RECOUNT
I bought the latest issue of Maxim with WWE’s Kelly Kelly on the cover [“KellyMania ” December], What the hell? You gave her only four pages. Are you kidding me? How about more like six or eight pages or a poster of her? You should do a better job next time you have a beautiful woman like Kelly Kelly.

Listen, Tim, we gave you 25% photos of Kelly over a two-page spread, so let’s not get greedy. 0I(, here’s one more...

KEEPING THE PEACE
I just returned from a yearlong deployment in Afghanistan. During one mission we came upon an Afghan National Police checkpoint that had just been attacked by insurgents, and we set up a roadblock to limit activity in that area.

During our roadblock we encountered numerous locals and engaged in conversation as best we could, at which point I brought one of my copies of Maxim out. They couldn’t put it down. Your magazine rocks, and we appreciate everything you guys do for us.

Thanks, Chris! Glad to hear Maxim is bringing some joy to the locals. We’ll send you issues of Oprah to bring pain to the insurgents.

A FAMILIAR SIGHT
Hello, there. PO3 Denney here of the USCG Deployable Operations Group. We are currently deployed overseas, and we read Maxim religiously. We were excited about the military issue [Maxim Salute to the Military] with our Coast Guard pinup girl...except we weren’t even mentioned, nor did we see our
girl. Attached is a picture of us confusedly trying to find where we are in the magazine.

Given that that’s what we generally look like at our editorial meetings, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that we fucked up. Thanks for everything you do. Go, Coast Guard!

THIS STINKS
I just read your interview with Kelly Kelly, where she refers to the originator of the stinkface move as a wrestler named Rifiki. His name was Rikishi! For the mistake, you should have Rikishi give you the stinkface.
Sorry, Aaron, we’re lousy with names.

PRISON LETTER OF THE MONTH
Hello. I’m writing from Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix. I love your mag and all the great photos and stories. Looking forward to another fantastic year with Maxim, but I think it would be great if you ran a story about miniature strippers.

OK, here goes! Once upon a time there were a bunch of miniature strippers. The end. OK? Maxim would like to apologize big time to photographer Kareem Black, whose killer shots for our $848 Boston Bruins feature in the January issue were incorrectly credited.

RANTING AND RAVING
I’ve become increasingly consumed by each month’s cover girl, most recently by Jessica Gomes [“Gomes Sweet Gomes,” November], She has certainly strengthened my expression: There’s nothing like Portuenese women!

Agreed! We wish cloning were more accessible, just so we could live in a world full of Portuenesians. Also, so we could have cloned that hamster we flushed down the toilet last week.

RECIPE FOR DISASTER
Your recipes are always great, and I can’t wait to try the leftover-turkey sandwich recipe after Thanksgiving [Circus Maximus, November], However, the chefs should have pointed out that you should save the garlic-infused olive oil for salad dressing or sauteing veggies, meat, or fish.

John Gelle via e-mail You can also use it as a deep-conditioning treatment, shoe shine, and organic lube, but we can’t just give everything away in one issue John.

A HAIRY SITUATION
Thanks for the mustache info in “Lip Service” [Circus Maximus, November], So far I have 10 months and two days’ worth of growth. You motivated me to
go another year. But I hate waking during the night with it in my mouth.P.S.I just got engaged!

Good for you, Sven! Soon it will be your wife who’s finding unwanted things in her mouth (like hairy wedding cake, for example).

HATE MALE
You pud-knockers! You showed me a beautiful woman with nothing but T&A on pages 114-116 and 119-121 [Style, November]; but your insert included a page of men in a Paul Mitchell ad! WTF? My wife was aroused—

I was not! Are you guys really dumb as a box of shit, or do you just like to piss everybody off? Birmingham Dale via e-mail But did you notice how great their hair looked?

FALSE FACT
In the November Maxim News Feed, you stated that “Filipino villagers recently caught one of the world’s largest gators.” That was a crocodile, not an alligator. Gary Gawel via e-mail Thanks for the heads-up, Garyl We sent our fact checker there to find out for certain, after smearing him in fish guts to attract the attention of said beast. Incidentally, we now have a vacancy for “fact checker."

THE HIGHEST COMPLIMENT
Hello, I am a combat medic in the U.S. Army. I am currently serving in Afghanistan. I’m responsible for about 20 guys in my platoon. Nothing relieves
stress more than looking at some of the most gorgeous women in the world. We are far from anyplace to purchase Maxim, but once in a while one of us gets one in the mail from back home. It gets passed around until it’s torn to shreds, then passed around some more. Ha-ha. I just wanted to say thank you for having the top magazine in the world. Great stories, great writing, and more importantly the best women. You keep 20 horny guys wanting more! Joshua Davenport via e-mail And we always said our lives would be complete if we kept 10 horny guys wanting more. Thanks Josh/

“They dance, they fly. they smash things." promises Fuerza Bruta's official press release. Memories of drunken nights of revelry doing the same things hit us. but we can’t let former DILG Secretary Joey Lina know that. We are in the Manila Hotel. Secretary Lina is the hotel’s president, and we re shaking his hand. But we must assume he’s all for it. because he has the show specializing in controlled chaos set to perform at the tent beside the hotel’s main building f'om February 14 to March 25.

Fuerza Bruta. which translates to “brunt force." is an interactive traveling circus from Buenos Aires. Argentina, that ran off-Broadway from 2007 to 2011. “Interactive" in this case means that for one hour the audience is encouraged to shout, spin, touch.
and even help the shows talented acrobats, artists, dancers, and actors smash things.

It’s a non-stop collision of dynamic music, visceral emotion, and kinetic aerial imagery. Here, an entire crowd flails to techno music while being surrounded by acrobats flying in midair, a hanging, clear-bottomed swimming pool where more hot. nubile women swim about mere inches from your face, and a man smashes moving walls while running on a gigantic treadmill.

And how does this assault to the senses end?

The DJ cranks it up and the party keeps going, going, and going, until your night becomes another fond memory of spectacular revelry.

Only, the hangover is worth it.

I love sidecars as much as the next guy, unless the next guy is a lush from the 1920s. But the point of motorcycles is that they are single-passenger rockets. They are the ideal go-it-alone, blaze-your-own-trail vehicle. Tattoos are similar in that they are a way to set yourself apart—it’s no wonder that most riders have ink. This month, the start of riding season—when temperatures across America start to warm enough to flaunt sleeves and leg pieces—we highlight the highest form of personal transportation alongside the highest form of self-expression.

Brittany Ineson (1) catches up with freestyle motocrosser Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg; Dove Shore (2) shoots comedian and rider Alonzo Bodden; Andrew Kuykendall (3) captures new biker fashion (and some leathers) in action; and Nadia Kadri (4) profiles our Inked Girl, Amy Forrester, who is quite possibly the best thing to be on a bike since ape hangers. Freddy Negrete, the man who helped bring his style of Chicano tattoos to a high-art level, sits for photographer Steven Perilloux (5), and Brandon and Darrell Sheets, of Storage Wars fame, tell Kara Pound (6) about how they’ve found museum-quality art in abandoned lockers.

To celebrate TATTOOZdayz, a weekly video program on krockradio.com where the sickest acts in music share their tattoos and the stories behind them, host Jay Zustra UZ" (7) interviews Senses Fail's Buddy Nielsen, while Alexander Richter (8) snaps away.

We've got all that plus the best motorcycles rolling out this year, bitchin’ products for gearheads, where to visit when you tame the Tail of the Dragon, and beer. Welcome to our clubhouse.

The crusty Master Sergeant stood at the front of the room slapping his crippled leg with a whip-thin swagger stick he had removed from a dead enemy on Guadalcanal. His OD green army dress uniform was a perfect background for the seven or so lines of colored ribbons, especially for the one at the top with white stars on a field of blue. Most represented a violent moment in time in this man’s military combat life. He seemed to be 9' tall when he spoke, but he was really a stretched 5'8" with his shoes and hat on, all cased in a sinewy 145-pound body. I could only imagine the physical scars that old body held as he lifted the beat up US Property Gl .45 to eye level and said, “This, gentleman, is the greatest pistol ever created by man, and the safest pistol on the face of this scorched earth.”

He continued, as we new recruits, awed in the presence of everything we teenage pups assumed a man should be in the late 1950s. “Today, men, we will talk about the safety of the Model 1911-A1, and how you can keep from killing yourself with it. First, the trigger is nothing more than a piece of metal until you put your finger on it. That, you pieces of gun, is your first lesson.

“Second, the grip safety keeps the trigger from being pulled unless the pistol is gripped with a firm, manly hand. The thumb safety, when clicked to the up position, blocks the rear of the sear to stop it from disengaging from the hammer hook. When you click it to the down position, the pistol is hot, ready for bloody business. Then there is the hammer with a half-cock notch designed to catch the hammer before it hits the firing pin if the pistol ever falls to the ground with the hammer cocked. If I catch any one of you pukes dropping your pistol, you better be dead or dying.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Use your smartphone or iPad to zap our pages and unlock trailer, video and messages from the stars, plus you can buy DVDs and make yourself the cover star. It's like the Daily Prophet for Muggles.

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.

FHM India February 2012 Diya Mirza

NEW UPLOAD

The beginnings of a new year are hectic times. The Government of india spends it preparing for the Republic Day parade inviting PMs of places Indians traditionally go for sex tours to, to be the chief guest. In the hinterland, covering or uncovering of granite tuskers and a particular madam kept hyper news anchors on the edge of their seats, the army chief went to court insisting he was actually younger than he was made out to be, a British newspaper broke the story of how badly we were exploiting the Andaman tribes, and Indian cricketers had the stuffing beaten out of them.

Things at FHM haven't been unaffected either. We've spent a good part of last month saving up to buy a second hand SUV. We're now preparing a list of poor sods who are likely to have their deposit confiscated and then have no other option than selling a Fortuner for the price of a Maruti 800. Agreed it might be far fetched, but it's a start. We also threw in something on the Army Chief.
