SHAME is coming out on blu-ray and DVD on June 6.

Directed by artist Steve McQueen (Hunger) the film stars man-of-the-moment Michael Fassbender and the gorgeous Carey Mulligan as New Yorker siblings with a troubled past and complicated present.

SHAME follows Brandon (Golden Globe® nominee Michael Fassbender), a young, successful thirty-something living comfortably in New York who is brought undone by his addiction to sex. The tightly controlled rhythm of Brandon’s life begins to collapse when his wayward, unruly sister, Sissy (Academy Award® nominee Carey Mulligan), arrives for an unannounced visit. Her disruptive presence in his life propels Brandon further into New York’s dark underbelly as he tries to escape her need for connection and the memories she evokes.

From the writer of THE IRON LADY and the producers of THE KING’S SPEECH, SHAME is a compelling and timely examination of the nature of need, how we live our lives and the experiences that shape us. The film’s examination of sex addiction has been extensively reported on and debated in prestigious international media such as Time Magazine and ABC News.

The Hardcore Gamer’s Secret Weapon  

Sydney, Australia – 14 May, 2012 – Cooler Master, an industry leading chassis, thermal solution, peripheral, and accessory manufacturer storms onto the war torn frontlines with a devastating new weapon, the Trigger mechanical gaming keyboard.

Deliver an endless hail of destruction with the ability to press up to 6 keys simultaneously and utilise five programmable macro keys with profile management. Significantly reduce transport and redeployment times by storing profiles and key assignments with 64KB of onboard memory.

Multi-media control keys give the option to summon and manipulate your chosen battle orchestra. Use these controls to bring about music that may contribute to a win that is the result of a Zen-like focus or a sustained rage produced by increasing tempo and heated conflict. Ensure that this focus remains unbroken by utilizing the included Storm Tactics key to deactivate the Windows key.

Positioning is important to the success of your digital counterpart; this too is true of the user. A detachable wrist rest and non-slip rubber coating assist in preventing the pains of war from transferring to you by providing proper support for wrists and reducing unwanted keyboard movements or slides.

18K gold plated ultra low latency USB connectors and an integrated two port USB 2.0 hub ensure that the Trigger and critical peripherals all follow the path of least resistance. A high-grade braided cable ensures that the keyboard and connected peripherals maintain a solid link to the PC and combat zone operations.

Incredible performance meets style and value

Sydney, Australia (May 14, 2012) — Announced at Mobile World Congress in February, the ASUS Transformer Pad is a power packed, yet affordable, tablet with a host of features onboard. Available in three stylish colours, the ASUS Transformer Pad is aptly named thanks to the optional mobile dock accessory that allows it to transform from a tablet into a notebook. When docked, total battery life is rated up to 15 hours. Housed in the Transformer Pad is a powerful NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 Quad-core CPU, ASUS SonicMaster technology for an incredible audio experience and an 8MP auto-focus camera that shoots crystal clear photos. The Transformer Pad runs the Android™ 4.0 operating system (Ice Cream Sandwich) that is upgradable and features exclusive software for added productivity.

Incredible design
The Transformer Pad comes in three stylish colors: Royal Blue, Iceberg White and Torch Red. It also boasts an elegant concentric patterned finish that hints at the ASUS Zen philosophy found in the ZENBOOK™ and Transformer Pad Prime. With a profile that’s 9.9mm thin and 635g light, the Transformer Pad can easily be carried around all day, and when combined with the ASUS exclusive Mobile Dock, it turns into a productivity workstation. A QWERTY keyboard and multi-touch touchpad offer a true notebook experience, while a USB port and SD card slot provide additional storage options.

Ultra performance
Powering the Transformer Pad is NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 4-PLUS-1™ quad-core CPU with an integrated 12-core GeForce® GPU that provides superior performance, multi-tasking, smooth Full HD 1080p video playback and console-quality gaming. The “PLUS-1” is an extra battery-saver core in the CPU that handles low-power tasks like active standby, music and video, and is transparent to the OS and applications. It offers the best combination of ultra-performance with low power consumption – up to 10 hours on the Pad and extended up to 15 hours when combined with the Mobile Dock.

Supreme sound
In addition to its stylish design, the Transformer Pad uses audio powered by ASUS exclusive SonicMaster technology. Tuned by the ASUS Golden Ear team, SonicMaster technology features a combination of advanced hardware and software designed to deliver an immersive audio experience.

Unrivaled visual activity
The Transformer Pad boasts a wide 178° viewable IPS display so images are sharp and easily shared with friends. A 1.2MP front camera allows for video conferencing while an 8MP rear camera with auto-focus takes brilliant photos thanks to a large F/2.2 aperture, 5-element lens, back illuminated CMOS sensor, touch-to-focus, depth of field effect and low light noise reduction to provide the clearest and sharpest photos. The 8MP camera on the Transformer Pad also has the ability to take Full HD 1080p video.

Unlimited productivity
Featuring the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system, the Transformer Pad runs Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) for easy multitasking, rich notifications, customisable home screens, resizable widgets and deep interactivity. Also onboard is the preinstalled SuperNote application, which has the ability to take, draw or record notes, while Polaris™ Office is a great productive tool that gives users the ability to read or create Word, Excel and PowerPoint (MS Office 97-07 version compatible) files. With 32GB of internal memory, a microSD slot and 8GB of free storage on ASUS WebStorage for life, users can store and share their memories anytime, anywhere.

Accessorise the Transformer Pad
Accessories built for the ASUS Transformer Pad help users get more out of it, extending the overall user experience.

Max Payne 3’s Arcade Modes bring intense bonus shootout challenges to the single-player game experience – featuring “Score Attack” and the return of the classic “New York Minute” mode from the first two Max Payne games in explosive form. In addition to the thrill of besting your own top scores (and the scores of all your Friends and Crew members at the new Social Club), high scores also reward you exclusive multiplayer avatars and XP benefits.
