  • Next Xbox To Be Unveiled In April [Rumor]

    Sony kicked off the next generation wars this week when it kind of revealed the PlayStation 4. The company certainly beat Microsoft to the punch, but will Microsoft wait until E3 to show off the next Xbox? Recent rumors suggest that the company will host its own pre-E3 unveiling.

    CVG reports Microsoft will be unveiling the next Xbox in April. It would appear that this date was already set in stone before Sony even announced that it would unveiling the PS4 this week. The event reportedly “ruffled some feathers” at Microsoft so expect something big from the company in April. It can’t afford to have a lesser showing than Sony’s if it expects to kick up the hype even further as we head into the next generation of gaming platforms.

    Aside from the unveiling reportedly taking place in April, the ever vigilant folks at NeoGAF have found that a Microsoft partner has registered the XboxEvent.com domain for this year. The partner, U.S. techs, worked with Microsoft on its E3 press conference from last year. As expected, there’s nothing at the URL just yet, but it does mean that Microsoft is planning something soon.

    If the unveiling does happen in April, what can we expect from Microsoft? Something very similar to Sony’s press conference, but with perhaps more of a focus on the services and hardware. That includes a major focus on the next generation Kinect, which has been the subject of countless rumors thus far. As far as games, I wouldn’t expect much from Microsoft at the unveiling event.

    If both platform holders show off the hardware before June, E3 2013 is going to be very interesting. The press usually assigns winners in a year of new hardware to who has the best hardware, but this year may be focused solely on the games. Sony better bring its stable of quality first-party content because Microsoft will undoubtedly have some major reveals from third parties, perhaps even including the next Call of Duty running on next generation hardware.

    Check out our previous coverage of all the rumors regarding the next Xbox.

  • Google Is Hiring For Google Fiber Projects In Canada

    For the time being, Google Fiber is a strictly Kansas City affair. The company has said it would like to expand, but it probably wont do anything until Google Fiber is fully available to both Kansas Cities. That being said, the company is expanding its Google Fiber operations and that can only be a good thing.

    The Financial Post reports that Google is currently looking for three people in the Kitchener, Ontario area to work on Google Fiber projects. The jobs currently available are a product manager, a test engineer and a software engineer. All three positions will be responsible for helping Google build mobile apps to complement its current Google Fiber service.

    The product manager is the most interesting job posting because it definitely alludes to Google Fiber launching in more locations in the future. Here’s the responsibilities listed in the posting:

  • Identify unique experiences and use cases targeted for each local market
  • Integrate with other Google properties to deliver these experiences
  • Create detailed go-to-market plans for product launch(es)
  • Research markets and competitors
  • Define product vision, roadmap and future direction

    • So what’s the big deal here? Every product manager has those responsibilities. What does any of this have to do with Google Fiber expansion? In all honesty, it could just mean that Google is looking for people in Canada to help develop mobile apps for its current Google Fiber expansion in Kansas City.

    We could, however, look into this deeper, and suggest that Google may be keeping an eye on the Canadian market as a potential location for expansion. ISPs in the country are generally disliked for using abusive data caps that make the use of services like Netflix all but impossible. Much like any city in the U.S., Canadians would welcome the advent of Google Fiber with open arms.

    Once again, it’s worth pointing out that Google may not have any plans for Canada at all. The company is hiring employees for Google Fiber projects in New York, and there’s little chance that such a large city would get Google Fiber anytime soon. So it’s best to keep our expectations in check, and just be envious of our neighbors in Kansas City who are getting blindingly fast Internet.

  • Jimmy Fallon Plays Killzone: Shadow Fall On The PS4

    Jimmy Fallon is in an enviable position. He’s gamer, and his show is popular among gamers. That means that he gets to play all the latest games and consoles before anybody else.

    In his latest gaming escapade, Fallon got his hands on the PS4 and the console’s most technically impressive title – Killzone: Shadow Fall. The live demo on Fallon’s show should hopefully convince everybody once and for all that Sony is done using fake footage to sell their games.

    The highlight of the video is finding that Fallon is not super great at first-person shooters. He’s also quite possibly the worst backseat gamer ever. Remind never to play games with the man if the chance ever presents itself.

  • Lawmaker Wants Larry Page To Address Google Play Privacy Concerns

    Google Play, and subsequently Google Wallet, were subjected to scrutiny last week for its privacy policy. A developer found that the service sends him a customer’s personal information at the time of purchase. Some see it as a massive invasion of privacy, and one lawmaker wants answers.

    The Hill reports that Rep. Hank Jonhson sent a letter to Google CEO Larry Page this week demanding answers in regards to Google Play’s apparent privacy issues. You may remember Hank Johnson from last year’s AppRights movement that sought to regulate how much information apps could take from users.

    In the letter, Johnson says that Google’s sharing of consumers’ personal information with developers could have a number of negative consequences. Here’s the three he lists:

    First, sharing certain personal information like a physical address may harm consumers. In the past, unscrupulous sellers have used physical addresses to threaten consumers who posted negative reviews of products or services online. According to an article in the New York Times in 2010, an online vendor of physical items used consumer information to threaten women who complained about overcharges and abusive customer service. In one instance, the vendor sent a photograph of the woman’s apartment with an email that warned “I AM WATCHING YOU!” to discourage further complaints. Although that instance involved a clear and present threat, the mere knowledge that criticizing an app is potentially harmful is also a threat to free and unencumbered speech. The harms of this chilling effect go beyond consumers. Developers use criticism and comments to improve products, resolve disputes, and grow as a company as they tinker with apps to improve them.

    Second, sharing physical addresses may endanger the safety of children online. Many parents allow young children to use their parents’ mobile device for safety or financial reasons. It may concern or surprise these families to discover their child’s purchase of an app aimed to children also provides the child’s address. Beyond eclipsing parents’ expectations for children’s privacy on mobile device, these circumstances could also give rise to devastating harms.

    Finally, over-sharing personal data may pose security risks. A third party may use paid apps that are purchasable through Google Play to cull personal data – physical location or otherwise – for identity theft. Just as a consumer has notice when app uses their geolocation, they should also have notice when their address is shared.

    Now, Johnson doesn’t think developers are using consumers’ personal data in nefarious ways. He’s more or less curious as to why Google allows the sharing of this information in the first place. As such, he has posed a number of questions to Page in regards to the policy.

    (1) Unlike some competitors in the mobile app ecosystem, Google acts as a marketplace for developers to exchange goods and services with consumers.
    a. Please describe how an open marketplace benefits consumers.
    b. How does a consumer’s experience on Google Play via a mobile device compare with their experience purchasing goods in other marketplaces?

    (2) Please discuss the types of information shared with developers through Google Wallet.
    a. How is this information necessary for developers to process transactions?
    b. What other purposes does sharing this information serve?
    c. How is the breadth of information shared proportionate to Google’s need to share it?
    d. Have any harms or breaches of trust occurred because of this sharing?

    (3) The Google Wallet Privacy Policy states that it only shares information with third parties like developers as permitted until the Google Privacy Policy or as necessary for transactions.
    a. What is the process for the consumer to obtain notice in this statement or in the Google Privacy Policy?
    b. Is there a moment during purchasing an app where they learn that their address is disclosed as part of purchasing an app through Google Play?
    c. Was this also the policy for payment processing before Google Play?

    (4) The Google Wallet Privacy Policy states that Google is not responsible for how developers or other third parties choose to use or share consumer information.
    a. What precautions does Google take to avoid harmful uses of consumer’s data by third parties?
    b. Are there any mechanisms in place to mitigate the exploitation of data by third parties?

    Google has until February 28 to provide an answer. Knowing the company, it will probably address some of the questions posed by Johnson, but not all.

  • 3D Printers Are Changing The Classroom

    Last week, we took a look at how 3D printing will revolutionize manufacturing in the United States. Before it can do that, however, it needs people who know how to use the technology. That’s where education comes in.

    The folks at Online Degrees recently created an infographic that shows how 3D printing will have a profound impact on the future of education. Of course, the most obvious benefit will be for design students using 3D printers to bring their creations to life. That being said, pretty much every discipline will be able to benefit from 3D printing in the future.

    Of course, 3D printers and expensive, and schools are having to slash budgets. That’s where the innovative entrepreneurs comes in. A recent Kickstarter was offering two 3D printers for only $700. The goal was to get as many of these things into schools as possible. Unfortunately, the project wasn’t able to meet it’s funding goal. An equally exciting cheap 3D printing project, the 3Doodler, has recently smashed its funding goal, however, and could prove extremely useful in certain disciplines.

  • Anonymous Hacked By Rival Hacker Collective

    Over the past few days, a number of high profile brands and people have had their Twitter accounts hacked. Burger King was the first to fall victim to the hacks with Donald Trump’s personal account following a day later. Now the latest victim is connected with the group responsible for the hacks.

    BBC News reports that the popular Anonymous Central Twitter (@Anon_Central) was hacked by a rival hacker group known as Rustle League. The Twitter feed was forced down, and now the account is starting from scratch.

    While this was going on, most of the dramas was taking place on the fellow @Anon_Central Twitter. Some were saying that a fight between rival hacker collectives was wonderfully entertaining, but most were asking the two groups to work together instead of fighting amongst themselves.

    Of course, some people find the idea of Anonymous getting hacked to be scary in and of itself:

    It should be noted that not all hackers are related to Anonymous, and some really hate Anonymous. In this case, it seems that Rustle League was in it for the “lulz.” There might be cases in the future, however, where rival hacker collectives take things to serious new levels by posting personal information on those involved in each group. For hackers veiled in anonymity, that would be the worst possible thing.

  • Edward Gorey’s Life Celebrated With Google Doodle

    Edward Gorey is one of the most influential artists and writers of our time. His birthday also happens to be today. His birthday was celebrated by Google Australia yesterday, but now those of us on the other side of the International Date Line get to celebrate.

    Edward Gorey was born on February 22, 1925, and he died on April 15, 2000 at the age of 75. Over the course of his life, he published over 100 books featuring his distinct art style that could best be classified as gothic, but he himself labeled his style as “literary nonsense.”

    Today’s Google Doodle isn’t interactive, but it does a great job of copping Gorey’s distinctive style. Google’s Knowledge Graph is in full force as well. Interestingly enough, the first person listed under the “People also search for” section is Tim Burton. The director’s early work, especially Edward Scissorhands, was obviously inspired by Gorey’s work.

    If you want to learn more about Gorey, why not take a trip out to his home in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It’s been turned into the Edwary Gorey House Museum. The house will open on April 18, and feature a new exhibit.

  • Superman And Batman Come Together In New Comic Series

    Superman and Batman have an interesting dynamic together that’s been explored numerous times in DC fiction over the years. One of the best examples was when Batman and Superman teamed up in World’s Finest to take down a partnership between The Joker and Lex Luthor. Now DC is bringing them back together for a new series.

    DC Comics announced this week that it would be starting up a new Batman/Superman comic book series as part of the New 52 reboot that launched last year. The new series will focus on the first meeting between what are arguably DC’s most iconic and popular characters.

    First time DC writer Greg Pak will be in charge of the story with Jae Lee handling the art. Marvel fans will know Pak from his work on Incredible Hullk and War Machine. Jae Lee is also a frequent Marvel artist who has worked on series like Fantastic Four and Young Avengers. This will not be Lee’s first time with DC, however, as he did the art for Before Watchmen: Ozymandias last year.

    So what’s the new series going to be about? Pak isn’t saying much, but he did tell USA Today that the first meeting between the two heroes will probably not be pleasant:

    “What would your reaction be if you saw a guy running around in a bat costume in the dead of night attacking people for the first time? And what would your reaction be if you met an alien who could crush steel in his bare hands for the first time? These guys are going to have very different immediate impressions of each other than we’re used to seeing with these characters.”

    As for the art, check out Lee’s sketch of Batman, courtesy of DC Comics:

  • Blizzard Details eSports Support For StarCraft II: Heart Of The Swarm

    One of the fastest growing subsets of gaming culture is eSports. Millions of people tune in every month to watch matches between the best players in games like StarCraft II, League of Legends and DOTA 2. With the next StarCraft II game, Blizzard is stepping up its support for eSports in some big ways.

    Alongside additions coming to eSports support, the latest StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm preview tackles the changes Blizzard will be making to basic multiplayer and spectating as well. Speaking of spectating, Blizzard announced that players will be able to spectate matches as a group so friends can watch games together. Going even further, StarCraft II will implement a feature called Take Command that allows players to jump into a replay and start playing themselves.

    With all the additions coming to multiplayer, StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm will surely be the definitive version of the RTS for tournament players. Well, that is until Legacy of the Void launches a few years from now.

  • Mobile Gamers Spend More On iOS, Android Than On Dedicated Handhelds

    The smartphone is going to be the death of the dedicated handheld. That’s the line being fed to us by pretty much every analyst these days. The handheld defense league would refute these claims, but mobile proponents now have cold, hard numbers on their side.

    A recent report from IDC and App Annie has revealed that the total money spent on iOS and Android has surpassed the total money made by dedicated handheld software – digital and physical – during Q4 2012. It’s significant because it shows that mobile revenue has caught up and surpassed the dedicated handheld market which has long been the stalwart leader in the space.

    What’s interesting about these numbers is that App Annie only counted total app sales through game sales and in-app purchases. The amount made would probably be much more if the numbers counted how much is made by advertising in the numerous free games available on mobile devices.

    iOS Android Dedicated Handhelds

    It’s clear that mobile gaming has become an unstoppable force of mindless consumerism. It doesn’t hurt that the install base for mobile devices far exceeds that of the 3DS, DS, PSP and Vita. That’s because dedicated handhelds doesn’t enjoy the same benefits that mobile devices do, such as subsidized hardware and cheap or free software.

    Those on the mobile side of the business will tell you that Nintendo should stop making their own hardware, and start making games for mobile devices. The thinking is that anybody would want to play a Mario or Pokemon game on their iPhone or Android device, and that thinking is probably right. Nintendo probably won’t do anything of the sort, however, as it has always been a company focused on building hardware that compliments its software.

    As for Sony, the company is more open to embracing the rise of mobile. It introduced PlayStation Mobile last year to bring high quality games to mobile devices. It hasn’t exactly taken off for them just yet, but there’s definitely promise there.

    All that being said, Nintendo and Sony have a chance to emerge as leaders in handheld entertainment if they embrace ideas from mobile and apply them to their own products. Mobile devices have been enjoying millions of sales thanks to carrier subsidies. Nintendo and Sony could very well subsidize their own hardware with a monthly subscription just like Microsoft does with the Xbox 360.

    Of course, that doesn’t fix the problem of software being too expensive in the minds of the mobile gamers used to spending $1 on games. Nintendo and Sony both need to better demonstrate the value of their software, and prove that it’s worth the investment by offering experiences that can’t be found elsewhere.

    Are dedicated handhelds ever going to take back the lead over mobile? Probably not, but these devices can stay relevant in their own little niche of the consumer market. I’d argue that it’s incredibly important that they do as well. Without them, mobile gaming would become a barren wasteland of derivative running games and physics-based flingers.

  • Robot Blackjack Dealers Will Always Stack The Deck Against You

    I love and hate Blackjack. The simplicity of the game means I can actually understand the rules, but the game is always stacked against the players in favor of the dealer. Now a robotics company is removing the last defense players have against the all mighty dealer – human error.

    Yaskawa Motoman Robotics had its SDA10F robot deal hands at a Blackjack table last month at Chicago’s Automate 2013. The robot uses a technology called Cognex 2D vision guidance to read the cards and deal appropriately.

    This Blackjack dealing robot could be the sneakiest attempt by robots yet to subjugate humanity. The robots have realized that we would recognize a weaponized threat. Instead, the robots will now exploit our addiction to gambling. The robots will destroy us with poverty before moving in the robot mules to cart us off to the human recycling plant.

  • Google Makes Chromebook Pixel Official, Costs $1,299

    Last month, a leaked video teased that Google was working on something called Chromebook Pixel. It was reportedly a high-powered Chromebook with a 2560×1700 display that would rival Apple’s own retina display MacBooks. Now Google has made it officially known that the Chromebook Pixel is a reality.

    The Chromebook Pixel is similar to what we saw last month in the leaked video. The screen is a 12.85-inch touch display with a resolution of 2560×1700. That’s a whopping 239 ppi, or 4.3 million pixels. Other hardware specs include an Intel Core i5 processor clocked at 1.8GHz, integrated Intel HD Graphics, 4GB of RAM and a 32GB SSD.

    Another rumor regarding the Pixel that’s been confirmed by Google is that the laptop will come in two flavors. The basic Pixel will feature Wi-Fi connectivity only, while the other features LTE connectivity. The LTE connection allows for 100MB/month through Verizon.

    Of course, some may be concerned about the paltry 32GB SSD storage on the Pixel, but Google has your back with its usual offer of extra storage via Google Drive. Those who purchase the Chromebook Pixel will get a terabyte of storage in the cloud for everything from videos and music to pictures and documents.

    The Wi-Fi Chromebook Pixel is available starting today in the Google Play store, and will be on Best Buy’s Web site soon. It will retail for $1,299. Preorders will start shipping out next week. The LTE Chromebook Pixel will retail for $1,449 and ship out in April.

  • Experts Say Congress Is Unprepared For A Cyberattack

    President Obama introduced an executive order last week that intended to help protect the nation’s infrastructure from cyber attacks. It’s similar to CISPA in that it increases information sharing between government and private corporations, but lacks the privacy infringing clauses found in the aforementioned bill. Some experts, however, are saying that it’s not enough.

    Security experts have found that Congress itself is woefully unprepared for a cyberattack on its network. They say that Congressional networks lack the technology and security methods to prevent attacks. The danger here is that a successful hack could yield a treasure trove of classified information from lawmakers.

    Speaking to The Hill, Tom Kellermann, VP of Cybersecurity for Trend Micro, says that Congress is “overly reliant on perimeter defenses that are ineffective in today’s targeted environment.” He also says that Congressional networks “lack their own appropriate levels of funding for technologies and manpower to deal with this properly.”

    If hackers were interested in Congress, who would they hit? Security experts say that high-ranking lawmakers would be first on the list, but important committees like the Intelligence and Armed Services committees would also be high priority targets. These committees hold highly classified information from government agencies like the FBI and the Pentagon that would be especially desirable.

    For their part, many people in Congress told The Hill that they practice “proper cyber hygiene.” That is to say that members of Congress and its employees are trained to spot phishing attempts and malware attacks. It’s a good first line of defense that could prevent incidents like the recent Apple and Facebook hacks that used an exploit in Java to gain access to systems.

    As always, lawmakers can talk a good talk, but are they really doing enough to protect their networks from hackers? Congress’ cybersecurity professionals have been reportedly stepping up their game over the past few years to prevent the kind of attacks that have crippled corporations over the last few years. They do, however, emphasize the need for new cybersecurity regulations. Let’s just hope Congress can provide one devoid of CISPA’s privacy infringing ugliness.

  • You Probably Shouldn’t Continue To Have Sex With A Dog When The Police Show Up

    No matter what you’re doing, it’s a pretty good idea to stop doing it when the police show up. One young woman from Las Vegas apparently didn’t get the memo.

    The local CBS affiliate in Las Vegas reports that Kara Vandereyk, 23, was arrested after police officers found her in a backyard – naked and “touching [a] dog in a sexual way.” According to the police report, the woman appeared to be on drugs or mentally ill.

    The presence of drugs would make sense as the young woman reportedly did not stop “touching” the pit bull after the police showed up. In fact, she reportedly greeted the officers with a “hi” and continued to give the dog a bone in front of them.

    The young woman appears to not know what she was doing, or who she even was. When asked by officers, she couldn’t tell them her name, the year or who the current President was. She also reportedly told officers that she suffered from bipolar disorder.

    In the end, she was taken to the Clark County jail for booking. The dog was taken in by animal control officers.

  • BioShock Infinite Gets Three DLC Packs, Available Via Season Pass

    BioShock Infinite seems like it will be a complete experience when it launches. It’s hard to see what DLC can do to expand the world created by Irrational Games, but the ever alluring temptation of making money off DLC ensures more content will be created.

    Irrational Games announced this morning that BioShock Infinite will be getting three DLC packs in the future. All three packs will provide “hours of additional gameplay and continue the player’s journey in the sky-city of Columbia with new stories, characters, abilities and weapons.” Each pack will cost $10 upon release.

    If you want to save a bit of money, all three packs will be bundled into a season pass that will go on sale on March 26. The season pass will cost $20, and be available across all three platforms. Those who buy the season pass will also receive “Early Bird Special Pack” for free. Here’s what you’ll get:

    This bonus pack contains four pieces of exclusive gear, a Machine Gun Damage Upgrade, a Pistol Damage Upgrade, a gold skin for both weapons and five Infusion bottles that allow players to increase their health, their shield durability or their ability to use Vigors by increasing the quantity of Salts they can carry.

    While you wait for BioShock Infinite and its DLC, check out the wonderful mockumentary series from Irrational that explores the origins of Columbia and the Songbird.

    BioShock Infinite launches on March 26 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

  • PlayStation 4 Unveiling Gets The NMA Treatment

    The unveiling of the PlayStation 4 has the gaming community divided. Some think the presentation was fantastic, and showed just enough to whet the appetites of gamers. Others felt Sony held back too much information, and relied too much on vague spoken promises. Our favorite Taiwanese animators at NMA definitely fall into the latter.

    Check out our coverage of all things PS4 here.

  • These Developers Are Certainly Excited For The PS4

    Sony revealed the PS4 last night at a two hour conference that focused much more on talking than showing. There were plenty of games shown, but the conference really was all about what the console means to developers and gamers. The former actually had quite a bit to say.

    In a tradition dating back to who knows when, Sony had the usual video reel of developers talking up the PS4 hardware. Such luminaries as Tim Schafer from Double Fine and David Cage from Quantic Dream talk about how Sony took feedback from developers in building the PlayStation 4. As expected, there’s quite a bit of hyperbole, but these guys do seem genuinely excited by Sony’s next console.

    Expect more developers to talk about the PS4 in the coming months as more information trickles out. E3 will probably feature the bulk of the commentary as Sony now has free reign to focus on games instead of hardware at the annual trade show.

  • Facebook Adds Search Results Tab To App Insights

    Over the past few months, Facebook has added a number of metrics to App Insights. It’s invaluable data that allows developers to analyze where traffic is coming from, and where they can capitalize on said traffic. Now Facebook is adding a new metric that may prove very important as Graph Search gets into the hands of more people.

    Facebook announced that it’s adding a Search Results tab to App Insights. In essence, this new metric will tell developers how many people found their app through the search bar. The metrics will tell developers how many clicks were organic and paid. It will also tell you if a user clicked on the app from the search bar, and whether or not they found your app via Graph Search. Insights doesn’t cover clicks from mobile of the search results page yet.

    Another change coming to the Facebook platform is an extension of Realtime Updates for the Graph API to include Page posts. Facebook says this change will automatically notify you of any comments or posts on a Page without having to constantly poll said Page. You can read more about it in the documentation.

    The final change this week is an update to Facebook’s Platform policies. The new change comes from the branding section, and requires all “app descriptions, display names and icons adhere to [Facebook’s] Advertising Guidelines.” You can read more about that here.

    Facebook says it received 241 bug reports this week, and 38 were accepted for further review. The social network also fixed 30 bugs over the past week. You can see the full list at the weekly blog post.

  • Here’s All The Games Coming To PS4 So Far

    Last night, Sony unveiled the PS4 to the masses. Well, the company revealed the controller and the hardware specs, but not the actual machine itself. That wasn’t super important, however, as we got a good look at a number of games running on prototype PS4 hardware.

    We already knew that Evolution Studios, team behind the Motorstorm franchise, and Guerilla Games, team behind the Killzone franchise, would be at the show with their new games. Both studios did not disappoint with Evolution showing off DriveClub and Guerilla showing off Killzone Shadow Fall. Both games do an excellent job of showing off the raw power of the PS4.

    Other first-party Sony studios were there as well including Sucker Punch and Mark Cerny from Sony Japan studios. Sucker Punch is making a spin-off of its inFamous franchise called Second Son that seems to be a multiplayer version of the super hero open world game set in a futuristic London. The other is Knack, a new IP from Mark Cerny that looks absolutely adorable.

    Finally, Sony showed off some quality third-party content in the form of new IP and an highly anticipated indie title. The new IP from Capcom, codenamed Deep Down, looks a lot like Dragon’s Dogma and Dark Souls had a disturbingly evil child that wants to consume players’ souls. The other is Jonathan Blow’s The Witness, the highly anticipated indie title from the creator of Braid.

    There were a number of other game prototypes and vague announcements at the show. Media Molecule is working on some kind of sculpting concert simulator thing. Square Enix promised a new Final Fantasy to be shown at E3. Finally, David Cage of Quantic Dream showed off a creepy floating head.
