Penthouse 3D channel to fill European screens with three-dimensional smut, starting today
Feb 28th
Penthouse already promised its US audience a 3D channel in the second quarter of this year , but, for whatever reason, it’s dishing the goods to Europeans even sooner — as in, right now. March 1st marks the pan-European launch for Penthouse 3D, an all-new channel that will be composed of “100% Full 3D Native HD” content, which, judging by the preview videos available online, looks like a classic case of passive-glasses 3D. Still, Penthouse says it’s been shooting in 3D since last summer in preparation for this launch, so we don’t expect there to be a content shortage for those who prefer a little more depth to their adult entertainment

Feature: Virtualization in the trenches with VMware, Part 2: Storage, networking, and blades
Feb 28th
In part one of this series, we looked at selecting an enterprise virtualization platform, and at some of the benefits gained. Now we’re going to look at some of the challenges involved in selecting hardware to run it on, and in the process we’ll discuss storage, networking, and servers/blades. The real challenge here is not so much using and managing the hardware that you already have, but picking new technologies to ensure that you get the appropriate price/performance ratio, the necessary support options, and the needed availability and recoverability.

Feb 28th
While iPhone and iPad users have been able to use iDisplay to turn their device into a secondary display for some time now (with at least some degree of success ), Android users have unfortunately been left to their own devices — until now, that is.

App of the Day: Sky Combat for iPhone
Feb 28th
At first glance, Sky Combat appears to be just another vertical shooter, the likes of which flood the iPhone app store. It’s true that the fundamentals are the same as its predecessors: players shoot at a continuous stream of enemies while avoiding damage from their various weapons, occasionally picking up a gun upgrade, heavy-duty missile, or projectile-destroying pulse; however, the game sets itself apart from the rest by sporting killer graphics, totally fluid controls, and an engaging gaming experience that will keep players coming back for more.
