David Cox, a producer at Konami and owner of the twitter account “CastlevaniaLOS”, tweeted a few details about the upcoming game today. In addition to sharing the title’s number seven ranking on GameTrailers most anticipated games list, Cox also revealed the following bits of information in response to questions about the game: “There is lots of platforming – climbing, jumping, using the combat cross to swing, grip, rappel and all sorts of stuff !!” tweet and in reply to a question asking how long the game was “looking to be?”, he stated: “around 15 hours for an average player” tweet Nothing too eye popping in terms of the platforming info, but I’m fairly happy with the gameplay length for a platformer

The Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy has refused to say how many homes, if any, have been connected up to Tasmania’s National Broadband Network (NBN), something which according to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd should have already happened. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd (Credit: Commonwealth Government) In July last year, Rudd said the first homes would be connected “come the end of the year”. He added that it was to turn the services on “come July” of this year.

The good Amazingly powerful for a 15-inch laptop Highly configurable Adds 16:9 display The bad Configuration options can get expensive Far from portable Keeping the same look and feel as the recent 17-inch M17x version , the Alienware M15x is an imposing black slab of computing power that’s thicker and heavier than most 17-inch laptops. We love having high-end options such as Intel’s uber-powerful Core i7-920XM CPU, and it’s a plus that Alienware has finally gotten on-board the 16:9 display bandwagon; but if you want serious gamer options such as dual video cards or two hard drives, you’ll have to trade up the bigger 17-inch model. While it starts at a deceptively promising AU$2399, our review unit clocked in at AU$4113.90, which is a steep premium for a system with a single GPU and hard drive (not even a solid state one, at that).

in brief United Energy, Jemena, AGL Energy and Accenture have formed a consortium that hopes to see Frankston, Victoria, as the demonstration city for the Federal Government’s $100 million smart grid pilot. The idea of the funding was to create a pilot city in which to carry out trials to show how smarter, more aware energy networks can help Australians use less energy. The Federal Government released a tender for the pilot last October.

A few online marketer moves that went down today: — Seattle search engine optimization company SEOmoz is backing out of the consulting business so it can focus on developing software for online marketers. SEOmoz passed its $1 million yearly consulting business to British SEO firm Distilled , which is setting up a Seattle office. The move takes a load off SEOmoz founder Rand Fishkin and clears up any awkwardness caused by SEOmoz’s selling software and services to SEO consultants, while doing consulting itself

The good Fast wireless 5GHz throughput Fantastic NAS performance Storage included Easy to use True dual-band Guest networking Works with Apple Time Machine software Good-looking design The bad Expensive; limited networking and network storage features No bundled backup software for Windows Hard drive is not user-serviceable No media or iTunes server Picky support for USB printers Only three Ethernet ports No web interface No remote access for Windows users Set-up, administration and storage sharing require OS X 10.4 or later Runs hot Editors’ note: Apple recently released a new revision of Time Capsule, presumably to address speed and performance concerns with the older model.
