Forget Dogs, Wolverines Can Play Poker Too
Mar/100
This is a take on C.M. Coolidge’s famous dogs playing poker paintings. Except, instead of dogs, it’s a bunch of wolverines! Except, instead of wolverine animals, it’s a bunch of the superhero! You know, the one with the, uh, aluminumtanium claws. Huh? OF COURSE I’M QUALIFIED FOR THIS JOB.
Thanks to Jessie, who once put Wolverine’s cigar out in his eye and called him a cat. Whoa, Jessie, he’s actually in the weasel family.

Install GIMP 2.7.1 on Lucid Lynx using PPA
Mar/100
GIMP lovers are going to be disappointed to hear that GIMP is going away in the next release of much awaited Ubuntu 10.04. Today we take a look at installing in on Lucid Lynx using PPA.
The reason for getting rid of it as cited by the GIMP developers, is that GIMP is too professional a software to be included in regular desktop version of Ubuntu. And it takes up too much of space on the disk. Also, the fact that it’s too complicated for regular users.
If you can’t live without it…let’s see how to install GIMP 2.7.1 on Lucid Lynx (Currently in Alpha). The new version of GIMP supports single window mode and we will also see how to enable this feature as well.
First we need to add the official GIMP 2.7.1 PPA in the software sources of Ubuntu 10.04, by opening the terminal window and typing the following command:
sudo sh -c “echo ‘deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn/ubuntu lucid main’ >> /etc/apt/sources.list”
Now that we have added the PPA we need to add the GPG key, so type the following in your Terminal window.
sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 405A15CB
Next up we have to update the software repository…
sudo apt-get update
All that is left is to install GIMP 2.7.1 by typing in the following…
sudo apt-get install gimp
Click ‘Y’ (for yes) to install GIMP
Once GIMP is installed you can start it by going to Applications > Graphics > GNU Image Manipulation Program.
You now have your favorite GIMP on your favorite Ubuntu 10.04.
As you can see in the image below, GIMP still comes with default 3 windows, which could clog up your lower panel In Ubuntu 10.04.
However, now you can run GIMP in single window mode by going to Windows > Single-Window mode.
That’s all! Now you have your GIMP running in single window mode with less of hassle to manage 3 windows.
It’s unfortunate that GIMP will not be included, but by following these instructions, you’ll be able to enjoy using it in Ubuntu 10.04.

Q4 release for Mafia 2 (re)confirmed; Payne, Noire, Civ V still on hit list
Mar/100
Earlier this month, Take-Two announced the potential movement of one of the titles planned for release in its fiscal fourth quarter, extending from August to October. The choices were: LA Noire, Mafia 2, Max Payne 3, or Civilization V. During our demo of Mafia 2 on Wednesday, we were told the game would make its Q4 release, removing it from the list of potentially delayed titles. If we were the betting type, we’d be looking at one of those two Rockstar titles; after all, we’ve seen Civilization V at this point while LA Noire and Max Payne 3 remain shrouded in mystery.
Q4 release for Mafia 2 (re)confirmed; Payne, Noire, Civ V still on hit list originally appeared on Joystiq on Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:59:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

New Version of Digg Revealed
Mar/100
At the “Bigg Digg Shindigg” event at the South by Southwest Interactive Conference (SXSWi), Digg CEO Jay Adelson revealed that the popular social bookmarking site is getting a major overhaul, teasing the audience about new features such as personalized feeds and the return of the Digg leaderboard.
The new version of the website is not yet available. However, if you visit New.Digg.com, you can sign up for the alpha and see a preview of what the new Digg will look like in the background. Mr. Adelson told the crowd that the site was “five years in the making.”
While the company didn’t reveal much about the new website, it seems that there will be a cleaner interface, more personalization options, the ability to submit news items with one click, and brings back the leaderboard for top users. Digg’s famous website buttons are also getting revamped. In fact, if you Digg an article on Mashable, you will see the new buttons in action.
We’re going to try to put up a video of the announcement, along with more details on the new version of Digg as soon as we can.
