Cabal Online : Illusion Castle



- New timed-solo dungeon – available in easy, medium and hard mode
- New raiding dungeon
- New belt accessory slot
- New weapons
- Changes to the party system
- Revamped user interface
The two new dungeons are some of the most visually stunning to-date, providing strategically challenging encounters that are sure to test the heroes of Nevareth. It includes Crazy Streamer, a timed-solo dungeon available in three different difficulty levels, which will push even the most experienced player outside of their comfort level.
Illusion Castle is the latest end-game raiding dungeon for players to explore, full of evil foes, unexpected events and hidden quests. For those who manage to make it to the end of the dungeon alive fame and fortune await, with new weapons and belts among the treasures up for grabs.
The new interface provides a fresh new feel to the game, with the slimmed down and simplified style improving functionality. The amount of quick-slots for skills has also been doubled, with up to 24 skills now immediately available.



Crazy Steamer
The new solo dungeon and the first real successor to the Panic Cave that went live in the previous update. Just like the Panic Cave, Steamer Crazy is also a timed dungeon run with three possible difficulty levels. Furthermore once again dying means the dungeon ends. You cannot use an odd circle to resurrect yourself , meaning the dungeon is a frantic, fast-paced experience that will force you to stay awake.

The entrance to the dungeon is set halfway through the wastelands of Fort Ruina, in the area with the old trains and railways. Once inside you are transported to the back of a moving train, and it looks really cool to see the railway flashing past while you fight on the narrow train itself. I say this with every new dungeon, but the developers and designers get better with every update, and they keep on trying new things, such as a dungeon set on a moving train in this case.

Karylle Internet photo

FUNFARE UPDATE By Ricardo F. Lo (The Philippine Star) Updated April 10, 2010 12:00 AM
http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=565110&publicationSubCategoryId=70





It feels like a deja vu.
Many years ago when Karylle was a toddler and long before the advent of the celfone and the Internet, a “revealing” photo of her mom, Zsa Zsa Padilla, was circulated, purportedly taken from below the stage while Zsa Zsa was performing in a concert.
Very recently, a photo of Karylle with one of her boobs out is being spread by idle minds in the Internet, supposedly taken last March 21 during the summer episode of the ABS-CBN noontime show A.S.A.P. XV in Boracay, the same event where Karylle’s co-host Anne Curtis suffered a “wardrobe malfunction.”
“It was ‘doctored’,” Karylle told Funfare Update yesterday. “You can ask my mom who is very good in photo-shopping. She knows very well what is real and what is fake.”
Karylle added that she couldn’t suffer a “wardrobe malfunction” because she’s extra-careful in shows such as the one held in Boracay.
“I see to it that I wear nippies beneath my bra,” she said, “and a beach dress besides. If you analyze the photo closely, you will notice that it has been tampered with.”
And how come the (doctored) photo is coming out only now, more than two weeks after the Boracay affair? Why didn’t it come out at the same time as those of Anne Curtis’ photos?
Like Anne, Karylle is a victim of mean people who have nothing better to do.
With the permission of Karylle, Funfare Update is putting out the “doctored” photo (with the “exposed” breast covered with a black circle) so people will know that that’s the one in question.

Apple iPad

Starting at $499.






All of the built-in apps on iPad were designed from the ground up to take advantage of the large Multi-Touch screen and advanced capabilities of iPad. And they work in any orientation. So you can do things with these apps that you can’t do on any other device.




Safari
iPad is the best way to experience the web. View whole pages in portrait or landscape on the large Multi-Touch screen. And let your fingers do the surfing.


Mail
There’s nothing like the Mail app on iPad. With a split-screen view and expansive onscreen keyboard, it lets you see and touch your email in ways you never could before.


Photos
A vivid LED-backlit IPS display makes viewing photos on iPad extraordinary. Open albums with a tap. Flip through your pictures one by one. Or play a slideshow and share your photos.


Videos
The 9.7-inch high-resolution screen makes iPad perfect for watching HD movies, TV shows, podcasts, music videos, and more.


YouTube
With the YouTube app designed specifically for iPad, videos are even easier to find. And on the amazing iPad display, they’re more fun to watch. Especially in HD.


iPod
Reach out and touch your songs. View your album art full-size. iPad makes music look as good as it sounds.


iTunes
Millions of songs, thousands of movies and TV shows, and so much more. Browsing and buying are just a tap away.


App Store
You’ll find more than 150,000 apps on the App Store, and iPad can run almost all of them. Including everything from games to productivity apps.


iBooks
Reading is a joy on iPad. Text looks crisp and bright. Pages turn with a flick. And you can buy new books from the iBookstore. Just download the free iBooks app to get started.


Maps
See more of the world with iPad. Find locations easier than ever with street view, satellite view, or new terrain view — all using Google services.


Notes
With its large display and onscreen keyboard, iPad makes it easy to jot down quick notes and keep important information on hand. You can even email yourself reminders.


Calendar
Work, home, and everything in between. Your schedules are easy to read and easy to manage on iPad — even all at once.


Contacts
With Contacts on iPad, you can see much more than just names and numbers. And you can do more with them, too.


Home Screen
With just one press of the Home button, you have access to every app on your iPad.


Spotlight Search
No matter what you’re looking for, Spotlight Search can help you find it.


Accessibility
Universal access is built into iPad. So right out of the box, Apple makes it easy for people with disabilities to enjoy all that iPad has to offer.


iWork
The iWork productivity applications that you know and love on the Mac — Keynote, Pages, and Numbers — have been completely redesigned for iPad.2 So you can create great-looking presentations, documents, and spreadsheets. All using just your fingers. And while they’re easy to use, they’re also the most powerful productivity apps ever built for a mobile device.


Keynote
Create a presentation with custom graphic styles, elegantly designed themes, stunning animations and effects, and powerful new features designed just for iPad.


Pages
Pages has everything you need to put your words into beautiful documents. Including Apple-designed templates and easy-to-use formatting tools.


Numbers
Numbers includes over 250 easy-to-use functions, an intelligent keyboard, flexible tables, and eye-catching charts. So you can create compelling spreadsheets in just a few taps.








LED-Backlit IPS Display
The high-resolution, 9.7-inch LED-backlit IPS display on iPad is remarkably crisp and vivid. Which makes it perfect for web browsing, watching movies, or viewing photos. With iPad, there is no up or down. It’s designed to show off your content in portrait or landscape orientation with every turn. And because it uses a display technology called IPS (in-plane switching), it has a wide, 178° viewing angle. So you can hold it almost any way you want and still get a brilliant picture, with excellent color and contrast.


Multi-Touch
The Multi-Touch screen on iPad is based on the same revolutionary technology on iPhone. But the technology has been completely reengineered for the larger iPad surface, making it extremely precise and responsive. So whether you’re zooming in on a map, flicking through your photos, or deleting an email, iPad responds with incredible accuracy. And it does just what you want it to.


Thin and Light
One of the first things you’ll notice about iPad is how thin and light it is. The screen is 9.7 inches measured diagonally. So overall, it’s slightly smaller than a magazine. At just 1.5 pounds and 0.5 inch thin,1 you can use it anywhere. And a slight curve to the back makes it easy to pick up and comfortable to hold.


Up to 10 Hours
of Battery Life
To maximize battery life, Apple engineers took the same lithium-polymer battery technology they developed for Mac notebook computers and applied it to the iPad. As a result, you can use iPad for up to 10 hours while surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching videos, or listening to music.


Wireless
With built-in 802.11n, iPad takes advantage of the fastest Wi-Fi networks. It automatically locates available Wi-Fi networks, which you can join with a few taps. iPad also comes with Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, letting you connect to devices like wireless headphones or the Apple Wireless Keyboard.


3G
iPad will also be available in a 3G model with superfast data speeds up to 7.2 Mbps.3 So if you’re traveling or you happen to be somewhere without a Wi-Fi network, you can still get a fast connection for surfing the web, downloading email, or getting directions.


Performance
The A4 chip inside iPad was custom-designed by Apple engineers to be extremely powerful yet extremely power efficient. The performance is unlike anything you’ve ever seen on a touch-based device. Which makes iPad fantastic for everything from productivity apps to games. At the same time, the A4 chip is so power efficient that it helps iPad get up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge. And iPad is available with a choice of 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of flash storage,4 giving you lots of room for your photos, movies, music, apps, and more.


Connectivity
The dock connector port on the bottom of iPad allows you to dock and charge it. It also lets you connect to accessories like the iPad Camera Connection Kit and the iPad Keyboard Dock. You’ll find many accessories designed to be compatible with the dock connector port.


Audio
The powerful built-in speaker produces rich, full sound perfect for watching a movie or listening to music. iPad also comes with a headphone jack and a built-in microphone.


Accessories
What makes iPad even better? Accessories. The iPad Keyboard Dock combines a dock with a full-size keyboard. You can import photos from a digital camera or SD card with the iPad Camera Connection Kit. The iPad Case not only protects your iPad, it lets you use it in various positions. And different adapters let you connect iPad to TVs, projectors, and displays.








150,000 apps. And counting.
Right now, you can choose from over 150,000 apps in the App Store including entertainment apps, productivity apps, social networking apps, games, and more. iPad works with almost all of them.

Apps on iPad.
