Netflix 1.4 was recently released and it's major update allows it to work on all 2.2 and 2.3 Android phones. In Canada we still can't get it app from the Market, but the APK file can be downloaded and installed and it works perfectly.

I've actually been running Netflix for the past few months on my tablet and it's been great!

You can download the APK from the link below.

Finally there is a new video card that is worthwhile upgrading to, one that gives you great performance to price ratio! That card is the nVidia 460 GTX and it's making huge waves on the gaming front.

The price of the new card comes in around just above $200 (CAN) and is meant to be overclocked! At stock the card comes with a 675 MHz processor, and can be overclocked to over 800 MHz on air based cooling.

The card also runs cooler and draws far less power than the 480, which means you won't have to upgrade your power supply or install an after-market heatsink.

If you buy 2 of them and SLI the cards you will get more performance than a nVidia 480 top of the line card while still paying less money over all (nVidia 480 is around $500 CAN).

I would highly suggest that anyone looking for a new video card take a serious look at these cards and their potential.

If you use Ventrilo, Teamspeak, Skype or other communication software in Windows 7 you might have noticed that the sound volume of other programs may drop when they are both in use.

This is caused by a new feature in Windows 7 that is suppose to drop the background sounds of your computer down so that you can hear your call better. The problem is that with gaming you want to hear both the game and communication program at the same volume.

I notice this problem most often in Left 4 Dead. 

To fix this problem follow these steps:

1. Click on the Windows Orb (Start button)
2. Type "Sound" in the search bar
3. Click on the Sound item that comes up under Control Panel
4. Click on the Communications tab
5. Select the option of Do Nothing
