No, it’s not hollywood heart-throb Angelina Jolie. The seventh installment of the Tomb Raider video games will have British actress Keeley Hawes lending her voice to the new re-vamped (with more realistic physical attributes) Lara Croft in Tomb Raider: Legend, due out this April.

Ms Hawes is best known for her role as Zoe Reynolds in BBC spy TV series Spooks (or MI-5 as it is known in the States).

Eidos has also chosen a new face - and body - for the action heroine. Former Top Shop worker Karima Adebibe from Bethnal Green in London was unvelied earlier this month as the new Lara Croft. The 20-year-old brunette will be wearing the infamous twin thigh gun-holsters previously donned by models Rhona Mitra, Jill De Jong and Nell McAndrew.

If that wasn’t enough, 10 60Gb iPods and one $10,000 iTunes Music Card. And all 16-year old Alex Ostrovsky from Michigan did was download a song he purchased with his mum’s credit card from the iTunes Music store.

Did I forget to mention that he happened to be the one billionth downloader as well? No? Well there you go.

Microsoft’s next operating system (OS) installment, Windows Vista, has many new features including a number of security enhancements, improved document-searching technology and other core features like networking, printing, audio and display. One significant update to note is the new Authentic, Energetic, Reflective and Open (AERO) graphical user interface.

Here’s how an ALT+Tab in Windows XP ould look like:

Here’s how it currently looks like in Windows Vista:

The complexity of this new look would mean that you will need to have a graphic accelerator installed in your system, of course. This is just one of many significant changes (dare I say improvements?) Microsoft has made to the number one choice for desktop OS. You can find an illustrated walkthrough with 55 screenshots of their latest “preview” release on the PC Magazine website.

I picked up a USB Bluetooth dongle, “Tiny Tech” brand, to connect to my Nokia 6230i. Took me a couple of hours installing the driver from the little CD that came with it. Sometimes the dongle could detect the phone, sometimes it couldn’t. And when it did, it couldn’t quite connect. Even after pairing. Even after typing in a passkey. Even after checking and re-checking all the configuration on both the phone, the Nokia PC Suite, and re-installing the supposedly BlueSoleil application for the Bluetooth dongle (the dongle’s not a BlueSoleil product, though).

Imagine subscribing to Sky or a similar Cable TV provider. Imagine paying a montly flat fee for those extra channels you wanted. Imagine then, having only been given a limited number of hours for watching those channels per month. Once you’ve reached the limit, your provider will start charging you extra on an hourly rate. You have the choice of turning off you television set, or cough up the money when you get the bill at the end of the month. This analogy is exactly similar to “broadband capping”.If you haven’t got broadband at home yet, chances are, you will do very very soon. Prices have come down a lot since it was first introduced a few years ago. Fortunately, speeds have gone up and up and up. You’ve had a taste for the speed at work or at a friend’s place. So you start looking at prices and special deals by Internet Service Providers, more often than enough, that’s when you get caught.
