It was only right that with all the great news being put out by Sony’s news pipes in the past few weeks that I interview one of their executives, specifically in the Sony Computer Entertainment America sector. Enter, John Koller, Vice President of Hardware Marketing at SCEA.
In the phone interview, which you can listen to, there’s talk about all of Sony’s past, present, and possible future attempts at inter-connected systems and the “Second Screen” terminology; people that are interested in what happens on the move, rather than in any stationary place.
Listen to the interview, past the break!
It’s not the complete package, but it’s one variable of the equation: Stanford University’s recent announcement that scientists have successfully created the first truly biological transistor made entirely out of genetic material. Transistors are the bringers of nearly all of modern technology.
The engineers/destroyers at iFixit have taken apart the upcoming HTC One. Since there are no screws used in the construction of the body (thanks, unibody aluminum), the fearless dudes needed to turn to a heat gun (gasp!), a suction cup and a metal spudger to gain access to the internals. Once inside, they were greeted by every single component — which for some reason was covered in a difficult to handle foil, plus fasteners for the 2,300 mAh battery.
And of course, it looks better than the old Spotify logo, right? Less green, more Spotify. Kind of like LaptopMemo; the green is cool to roll with, but it can be removed eventually. Simpler font type, easier on the eyes, and more serious: all things that Spotify should be doing to take on other major music streaming services like Rdio and Pandora. We like it.
Here’s the only catch about AT&T’s recent presser for the price of the Galaxy S 4: we don’t know if the $250 price tag is for the 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB model. What we do know, however, is all the specs of the GS4 remain the same, 4G LTE included, and that AT&T hasn’t issued an exact release date, instead issuing a pre-order date of April 16th; something of which they promise to elaborate on in the coming weeks.
According to a report from
So, this is another G-Shock, in another brevity review (this one is awfully short, by the way). The GA-300-1A chronograph is mixed in with digital timekeeping into a large band and case that’s water resistant to 200M. It’s impervious to most magnets, can tell the local time, world time, stopwatch, date, day, is shock-resistant, alarm, has a pair of LEDs for looking at the time in low-light, a battery that lasts 3 years, and as a whole, weighs 71 grams. And to be quick about this, all of those feature work, flawlessly.
It’s no surprise anymore: Battlefield 4 is coming in September of 2013 for the PS4, PS3, PC, Xbox 360, and next-gen Xbox for the usual pre-order amount of $60. To appease gamers (for now), Electronic Arts and DICE have created a whopping 17 minute video (just like they did with Battlefield 3) to show us what the campaign looks like, and how the game has changed.
