Today Nintendo will be releasing one of their third-party titles for the DSiWare platform as part of the Nintendo Download for North America. Prior to this, Nintendo announced its existence when they compiled a list of upcoming titles leading up to the holiday season but information on the title was very scarce.
The PR for the Nintendo Download gives us a few more details on what we can expect from the 500-point title: - "Pinball takes on mythological proportions in this Nintendo DSiWare exclusive. Choose from two modes of play (Regular Game or Daily Game) and begin your journey to becoming a pinball champion. Conquer mythic quests, collect gifts from the 12 Olympians, and push your skills to the limit by facing Medusa, the Sirens and more. Your portable pinball table will give you a quick adrenaline rush as you watch the steel ball fly through ramps and carom off bumers all over the playing field. Rack up combo points, open specific game modes and enlist the Oracle for some help. Will you accept Zeus's challenge?"
Here are a few screenshots that Nintendo has released for the game's release:

Google have today announced a set of special "Artist Themes" for their own browser, Google Chrome. The browser, which has been gaining momentum amongst the web browsing community since its launch in September 2008, recently recieved an update allowing for the use of "themes" to change the look of the buttons, home page background and toolbar designs based on a set of pre-determined styles created by the internet giant. Today's update to the themes gallery adds lots of new styles, including some from celebrity designers, and an official Super Monkey Ball design.
This design changes the colour scheme to an orange and blue theme, and features four of the popular characters along the top of the page (although they're only visible when you don't have the bar filled with tabs).
On the "home" page (which displays users most visited sites, bookmarks, and recently closed tabs, alongside a quick tip on how to utilise the browser more efficiently) another special design is displayed featuring the Monkey Balls themselves, and adds a great deal of personality to the browser. Alternative designs for Jak and Daxter and Sega's upcoming Bayonetta are also available to download and install immediately, amongst over sixty artist themes. The design is available now for free from the Google Chrome Themes Gallery, and works on all of the latest versions of the browser, although it does look better for those with a higher resolution screen.
