Modern Warfare 3 is very popular
All i would like to say is another master piece by Infinity Ward, GOOD JOB.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (abbreviated as Call of Duty: MW3) is a first-person shooter video game, developed by Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games, with Raven Software having assisted in development. It is the third installment in the Modern Warfare series, a direct sequel to 2009's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and the eighth Call of Duty installment.The game was released on November 8, 2011 in Europe and North America on Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii, with a separate version for Nintendo DS developed. In Australia, the Wii version was released on November 23, 2011. In Japan, Square Enix handled the installment with a separate subtitled and dubbed version, as they did for Call of Duty: Black Ops. They first released a Japanese-subtitled version on November 17, 2011. Then, on December 22, 2011, they will release a Japanese-voice dubbed version. Within 24 hours of going on sale, the game sold 6.5 million copies in the US and UK alone and made $400 million, making it the biggest entertainment launch of all time.People had waited for this breathe taking game and now it is here and is worth the time playing it. Congratulations Infinity Ward, you never disappoint us.

Apple's Mac Pro May Be Fading Away
With few buyers for the professional-, Apple has little reason to continue selling its pricey Mac Pro and the onset of Thunderbolt technology that can help address their needs..The Mac Pro has long remained a professional tool in an otherwise consumer-focused line of Apple (AAPL) computers. With a significantly higher starting price tag than its iMac cousin and a wide range of upgrade options that most Apple products lack, it makes sense that a report monday (via AppleInsider) claimed the Mac Pro might soon be put out to pasture.The reason the Mac Pro doesn’t get a shout-out during Apple’s events is probably because Apple has nothing to crow about. If there’s good reason to talk about how well a product is selling, Apple usually isn’t shy about doing so.
