Forget all you know about the old Prince Persia. He died (figuratively speaking) with the last generation of consoles giving birth to a brand new protagonist in the bargain. This unsung hero is not really a Prince nor does he have an ounce of royal blood coursing through his veins; he’s merely a vagabond searching for his donkey, Farah (heh) in the middle of a sandstorm, where he bumps into the mysterious Elika and embarks upon the adventure of a lifetime.
Like most male protagonists on the block, the new Prince thinks with his crotch instead of his brain. He gives up searching for his donkey to peruse this spunky little acrobatic girl, who just so happens to be in the middle of a world of trouble. It turns out her father – for reasons that’ll be explained through the course of the game – has released an ancient evil upon the land.
This evil known only as Ahriman has been in captivity for over thousands of years so yeah, he’s pretty ticked off about the whole episode. To get back at his captors, he starts corrupting the land by drowning it in a pulsating black goo of sorts that destroys everything it touches. Now it’s up to the Prince and Elika to make sure Ahriman’s shoved back into the same place he was holed up for thousands of years. To do so, they’ll have to traverse Elika’s kingdom, the City of Light cleansing off all the vile corruption that’s currently engulfing it.
Unlike previous Prince of Persia games, PoP now allows you to choose your destination, granting you a bit of freedom instead of forcing you down a particular road. Liberating the land from the corruption means you’ll have to travel to various areas, but the order in which you do so is entirely up to you. Once you liberate a particular patch of land you can then teleport from one fertile land to another without actually traveling all the way there. As and when you find yourself getting a bit lost, ask Elika for some help and she’ll gladly point you in the right direction.
Once you platform your way to the heart of a corrupted area, you’ll have to indulge in some combat against a boss or a mini boss. After slashing away at him/her for a couple of minutes, you’ll be able to purge the land off all evil and corruption. From there on, you’ll have to collect a certain amount of orbs that spring up all over the place enabling Elika to upgrade her powers. This is a mandatory process since those newly acquired powers are the only way you’ll be able to access certain areas that you couldn’t earlier.
Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger? There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese…..
Thumb represents your Parents Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings Middle finger represents your-Self Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner & the Last (Little) finger represents your children
Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together – back to back
Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb – tip to tip (As shown in the figure below):
Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)…, they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.
Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)… ., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.
Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)… ., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.
Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse). You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT….., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives – through thick and thin!!

What do you do when your core business is flash-based storage solutions such as SD cards, and you want more people to buy your products? Simple: build nifty gadgets that rely on the flash storage. An MP3 player, perhaps – should do nicely.
But then, what if the market in which you’re selling your gadget becomes saturated? Innovate, of course, and that’s exactly what SanDisk have done with this, their new MP3 player. The innovation comes in the form of its shake-based user interface. No screens or annoying tiny buttons for SanDisk. To select the track you want, just shake the thing! More details and pics after the jump.
Yes, borrowing a trick from Sony Ericsson, whose latest S500i mobile music phone also performs the same feat, the new SanDisk MP3 player lets you select tracks and trigger songs with a quick shake of the hopefully robust device. There’s also two headset jacks (for a friend to listen to your tunes as well), an external speaker and, of course, an expansion slot, which is capable of being filled with all manner of SanDisk storage solutions!
IRiver have released what could possibly be the cutest MP3 player in the world. The iRiver MPlayer Eyes is based on the famous sillhouette of Mickey Mouse, but without any Mickey-like features, it looks more like a frog(well, ti does to me, anyway!) Regardless, frog or mouse, it’s a damn sight cuter than the hideous Speaker Buddies I blogged about last night. The MPlayer Eyes come with 2GB of storage and 10 LEDs, and will go on sale in Korea initially for just $50. Thank you, iRiver, for helping me sleep better tonight!
