Safebox allows seamless synchronizing across PCs and Android phones, can be used from my.bitdefender.com as a web interface, and will soon be available via iPad and iPhone apps.

Sydney, Australia – March 12 2012 – Cooler Master, an industry leading enclosure, thermal solution, peripheral, and accessory manufacturer, showcases a tribute to their effort to continually innovate. The X6 CPU Cooler has arrived and is a daring new take on high performance cooling and design.
Bold Design and Innovative Features
Designed for overclockers and gamers, X6 is adorned in a satin black finish with crimson red fan blades and accents. The heatsink employs a unique honeycomb fin structure to maximize surface area for cooling. This is used in conjunction with an angled base that acts as a means to increase overall airflow throughout the chassis. Clever air duct deployment on the outer shell directs airflow to pass over critical cooling areas. X6 also comes equipped with a high performance PWM controlled fan that can be adjusted via BIOS or OS-based motherboard tuning applications.
Quick-snap for Easy Maintenance and Installation
Ease of use is often applied to mounting systems or other system components, but fan attachment can wind up being neglected. X6 breathes new life into this lost path by coming with time-saving quick-snap fan brackets that make installation and removal a simple affair. These quick-snap brackets means that fan maintenance times will become significantly shorter. Simply release a few tabs and the fan is free to be cleaned. Reattach everything in a few seconds and go back to enjoying the immense cooling power of the X6.

Check out the two new choppers straight from Activision’s upcoming game, Prototype 2!
Transport Helicopter – This transport helicopter flies soldiers into the heat of the battle … that you most likely began. Hop inside for faster and safer transportation with a primary weapon that will saturate large areas. Also don’t forget its secondary weapon–the Rocket Pod–which can be weaponized and used for decimating enemies while on foot. Try your hand at an acrobatic death blow with the Claw Finisher. Tumble along the top of the chopper while slicing off its rotor, then sit back and watch the helicopter’s inevitable and fatal decline.
Gunship – The gunship may not be the safest vehicle in the world, but it is good at one thing: finding your enemies and blowing their heads off. To spice things up, remove its Missile Launcher and incite some mass panic in the streets. But this gunship ain’t so tough—watch it fall apart when you slice it in half with your Whipfist Finisher
The Australian Premiere of Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens will air, uninterrupted and ad free, on The Cartoon Network, Sunday 11th March at 9AM (Ben 10 Day).
Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens is the latest feature length installment, and the first ever CGI version, of the ever popular Ben 10 series which follows the adventures of Ben Tennyson, a typical kid whose life becomes very atypical when he discovers the Omnitrix, a mysterious alien weapon with the power to transform the wearer into ten different alien species.
After Ben 10 Ultimate Alien where Ben was age 16, Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens turn the clock back. Ten-year-old Ben Tennyson is finally back from his summer vacation, and his life is a mess! Humiliated by his teacher, harassed by bullies, grounded by his parents, and cursed with a malfunctioning Omnitrix that’s vaporizing his homework, Ben jumps at the chance to get away from it all at the Total Alien Immersion training program on the far side of the galaxy. Little does Ben know that total immersion means he can never turn human again. Crashing back to earth and stuck in his alien forms, Ben becomes the target of an all-new evil alien, Mechamorph, engaging in a deadly cross-world battle, where nothing is as it seems.
Ben 10: Ultimate Alien will premiere around the globe on 11 March, making Australia New Zealand the first in the world to screen it.
Robi Stanton, General Manager, Sales and Networks, Turner International Australia says “Since the series launch in 2007, we have seen the Ben 10 phenomenon continue to grow globally. And I can say without doubt that some the series’ biggest fans are right here in Australia… We are so excited that they will be the first to see Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens! The world premiere is a huge event for both Ben 10 and Cartoon Network viewers.”
Cartoon Network is available on FOXTEL and AUSTAR (Channel 713).
