The mission of the WGT (World GameMaster Tournament) is to provide a healthy environment for the best gamers around the world to share the fun and excitement of PC gaming while challenging each other to be the best that they can be. A gaming conference in which the world's leading providers of gaming solutions joined forces to showcase the latest innovations in gaming.

This is the 2nd year of WGT tournament in India; it is consider to be one of the world’s largest game tournament and a rapid growing tournament that has attracted the elite players to complete against each others for the title of the World GameMaster.

Asus has officially launched the much awaited, ultra-portable and ultra-low cost 'Eee PC', promising a new mobile Internet experience.

Based on the Linux operating system (OS), 'Eee PC' has been customized to suit the needs of students from 10 years to 25 years of age who need both mobility and Internet connectivity.

The 'Eee PC' offers two modes of intuitive user interface (UI) design: the easy mode, and the full desktop mode for both experienced and inexperienced PC users. Meanwhile, the PC is also Windows XP compatible.

Every so often I bump into yet another example of Linux being used in creative ways. Here's a new one: an ASUSTek motherboard, the P5E3, which ships with a built-in Linux variant called Splashtop.

Splashtop's a small but fairly useful Linux desktop environment that boots and runs entirely in RAM. The current iteration of Splashtop features network connectivity (both wired and wireless), a rebadged version of Firefox 2.0, and the Skype VoIP client (version 1.3) -- a small but useful clutch of tools. I read through a sneak preview of the product at Phoronix.com, and the impression I got was that it's still pretty rudimentary but that it will over time be expanded into something far more functional.
