The truth behind day and night
Get your head around this...
The spring equinox officially began at 1.32pm on Saturday 20th March.
However, little do we know, as the length of day is not equal to the length of night. The truth is that the length of day and the length of night will actually be equal before the spring equinox and after the autumnal equinox, according to Geoff Chester, from U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington D.C.
“Exactly when it happens depends on where you are located on the surface of the Earth,” he stated.
Sports Relief
Sports Relief is about helping people that are less fortunate than we are and who live in very harsh conditions, it is about helping people in this country and people abroad that would benefit.It is organised every year by comic relief to help the disadvantaged. Sport relief is about taking part in something to make a difference-this could be running or cycling(as many celebrities have done).

Overclocking: The Basics
What is Overclocking?
Overclocking is tuning your PC's proccessor, GPU or RAM to run at a higher speed than it was designed to run at. An example of this is overclocking a 2.80 GHz CPU to run at 3.00 GHz or even 3.10 GHz. So, overclocking means to run your components at a higher speed than it's factory rated speed.
Why Isn't my CPU running at it's best now?

Beware of Nuke Boosters
A new problem is spreading in call of duty that is known as Nuke Boosting.
This involves two people joining a free for all; once inside they meet up and one of them uses a tactical insertion. Then the other one kills them and they repeat this process until they get a Tactical Nuke. People tend to do this to gain 'experience' points after a kill, or simply because they can't play a game properly.
In this article i will be giving you some simple tips to stop nuke boosters:
Modern Warfare 2 New Game Mode
A new Modern Warfare 2 game mode has been discovered, and will soon make its way on to Modern Warfare 2. The game mode is called Global Thermonuclear War, it involves two teams trying to catch a nuke, it is quite similiar to capture the flag, but it takes a long time to capture the nuke.
I have played this game mode already on my PC, as our host had the game mode and changed the game type on the game. The game normally lasts for about 3 minutes, due to the fact that the nuke is quite easy to get to.

God of War 3 Review
Format : PS3
Genre: War Game
View: 3rd Person
After playing some of the God of War 3 demo, I have decided to create a review about it. First off, I would like to say that this is a game exclusive to the PS3 so you won't be able to play it if you don't have one.

Little Big Planet Review
LittleBigPlanet soared past all expectations when it came out. The game introduced the type of ‘create-your-own-level’ feature to the PS3, which most people would expect on the Wii. The controls are very easy, and simple to get the hang of what to do and how to do it.

2. Shaun White unveils the tomahawk having already won halfpipe gold.
British snowboarder Ben Kilner was chilled to be in the same pipe heat as the Flying Tomato who didn't pull out his trademark Double McTwist 1260 mute grab, but nailed instead a backside cab 1080 during their early round confrontation. But later on, Kilner bummed out on his own frontside 900.

4. Ski Cross.
The Winter Olympics had a new sport this year, and what a sport it was. However, it’s best if you see it for yourself. Feast your eyes.
What’s worth than coming last in a ski cross heat? Crashing across the line for good measure.
The Best Bits from Vancouver 2010
That these winter Olympics could be remembered for anything other than the death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili speaks volumes for the quality of these particular Olympics, the first to be hosted at sea level, and the warmest Winter Games on Record. These are my highlights from this year’s Olympic Winter Games.
5. Amy Williams wins skeleton gold for Britain.
Why PS3 beats xbox 360
I think that the PS3 beats the xbox 360 for many different reasons. I will start off by talking about the controllers:
Both controllers are wireless, but the PS3 controller can be charged easily from a USB cable, the Xbox controller needs a battery pack, the controller joy sticks are put in completely different places which can really hurt your hand, where as on a PS3 they are in more convenient places.
