2. Large hard drive in the PS4

The the size of the hard drive that will be included in the PS4 will be of considerable size. Though no further details have been revealed as yet, Sony has announced that there will be a “a very large hard drive in every console”.

3. DualShock 4: Digital Buttons

The face buttons on the DualShock 3 were analog, i.e. they could sense pressure and change input accordingly. However, the DualShock 4 uses digital buttons. Also, the L2/R2 buttons are curved to nullify accidental forwarding on Netflix. The touchpad resolution of the controller is 1920×900.

4. Controller charging in sleep mode

Gamers rejoice. Finally the sleep mode charging of the DualShock controller has been included. The DualShock 3 required the console to be on in order to be charged. However, the DualShock 4 has no such requirements; it can be charged in sleep mode.

5. Headset to be bundled with the console

No mic was bundled with the PS3. As a result, the PlayStation Network turned out to be quiet place. All that is going to change because the PS4 is putting a headset in every box to foster good communication among users.

6. PS Eye to enhance PS4 user experience

The PlayStation Eye for the PS4 will have a dedicated port on the console with an exclusive SCE connector. Sony has listed a bunch of potential uses for the PS Eye like  walkthrough videos, taunting in killcam, login, and speech recognition. Want to hear something amazing? If you are playing split-screen with a friend and switch places with him, the camera will flip the split screen as per your convenience.

7. Real names can be used on the PSN

Real names can be used on the PSN when you import friends from social networks. This, however, depends on you and you can also choose which of your PlayStation only friends see your real name.

8. Mandatory recording

Stuff like recording footage and sharing content automatically comes with the PS4 irrespective of games. The PS4 does all this on its own and developers don’t have to put anything special in their code to make these happen.

9. Remote play

Though remote play has been around for a while, it does not have much usability till now. However, PS4 and the PS Vita are looking to change that. Screens will be mirrored when you connect through a local network or the internet, i.e. both the screens will be working, unlike the PS3/Vita. Remote Play can be started anytime on the PS4.

10. Colors to identify players

The light bar on the DualShock 4 will identify the players. The color/player relation will always be the same. Player 1 will always be blue, Player 2 red, Player 3 green, and Player 4 pink. Also, the light bar on the controller will display health, muzzle flashes from guns and the like.

You can see that the PlayStation 4 has a lot of nifty features that only add to the awesomeness level that the PS4 has attained. We can only begin to comprehend what a revolution the PS4 will usher in.

What do you think about these awesome lesser known features of the PS4? Do let us know.

What's Brad Pitt's secret of love?

Thank goodness Brad Pitt's "love letter" to Angelina Jolie is a hoax.

It's been clogging the newsfeed on Facebook recently with its appalling grammar and air of sanctimony.

Despite the erroneous mention of the pair being married in the letter, there were also strange references to Angelina "poking her head" and having bags under her eyes.

Here is the whole letter, with all its glorious faultiness intact:

"My wife got sick. She was constantly nervous because of problems at work, personal life, her failures and problems with children. She has lost 30 pounds and weighted about 90 pounds in her 35 years. She got very skinny, and was constantly crying. She was not a happy woman. She had suffered from continuing headaches, heart pain and jammed nerves in her back and ribs. She did not sleep well, failing asleep only in the morning and got tired very quickly during the day.

"Our relationship was on the verge of break up. Her beauty was leaving her somewhere, she had bags under her eyes, she was poking her head, and stopped taking care of herself. She refused to shoot the films and rejected any role. I lost hope and thought that we'll get divorced soon.

"But then I decided to act on it. After all I've got the most beautiful woman on the earth. She is the ideal of more than half of men and women on earth, and I was the one allowed to fall asleep next to her and to hug her shoulders. I began to pepper her with flowers, kisses and complements. I surprised her and pleased every minute. I gave her lots of gifts and lived just for her. I spoke in public only about her. I incorporated all themes in her direction. I praised her in front of her and our mutual friends.

"You won't believe, but she has blossomed. She became even better than before. She gained weight, was no longer nervous and she loved me even more than ever. I had no clue that she CAN love that much.

"And then I realized one thing: 'The woman is the reflection of her man' – Brad Pitt"

Lamborghini Hurracan specifications.

At 8,000rpm the new Lamborghini Huracan howls like a pack of wolves gargling 98 Octane fuel.

Pull the paddle under your right forefinger – click, clunk – another gear slots home and before you have time to think the big V10 is climbing back through the revs, gaining speed in 20mph gulps.

So Lamborghini's much anticipated Gallardo replacement is fast. Who'd have guessed? But it's how it's fast that's the real point of interest here. We've recently tested BMW's latest sports car, the intriguing i8. A hybrid homage to green motoring, it's about as close to the future as the supercar sector gets at present.

What the Huracan does, with its naturally aspirated petrol engine, is make you question if we should be quite so eager to let go of the past. After all, there's no replacement for displacement, so who needs a hybrid when you've got a pure-bred raging bull (that, of course, being the motif for the car firm set up by tractor maker Ferruccio Lamborghini in 1963)?

Not that the Huracan isn't at the cutting edge in its own way. Underpinning it is a carbon-fibre and aluminium chassis, which it will share with the new Audi R8. The result is light weight with excellent crash protection.

Pierce Brosnan: My James Bond was 'never good enough'

has dismissed his own run as James Bond "never good enough" and admitted he hates watching himself as 007.

1. GoldenEye
2. Production year: 1995
3. Countries: UK, USA
4. Cert (UK): 12
5. Runtime: 120 mins
6. Directors: Martin Campbell
7. Cast: Alan Cumming, Izabella Scorupco, Judi Dench, Minnie Driver, Pierce Brosnan, Samantha Bond, Sean Bean
8. More on this film

In an interview with the Telegraph, the Irish actor said he struggled to get under the skin of the suave British sleuth, who he played in four films between 1995's Goldeneye and 2002's Die Another Day.

"I felt I was caught in a time warp between Roger [Moore] and Sean [Connery]," said Brosnan. "It was a very hard one to grasp the meaning of, for me. The violence was never real, the brute force of the man was never palpable. It was quite tame, and the characterisation didn't have a follow-through of reality, it was surface. But then that might have had to do with my own insecurities in playing him as well."

He added: "I have no desire to watch myself as James Bond. 'Cause it's just never good enough. It's a horrible feeling."

Brosnan's other films as 007 were 1997's Tomorrow Never Dies and 1999's The World is not Enough. His Bond debut in 1995 followed a six-year hiatus for Ian Fleming's secret agent caused by legal disputes over rights, and was generally well-received. Even the poorly-reviewed Die Another Day, with its invisible cars and cameo by Madonna, was a huge box office hit: it was the highest-grossing instalment of the series at that stage.

However, the Daniel Craig Bond films, with their introduction of a starker, more human 007, have since pushed the series to new heights of critical cache as well as succeeding commercially. Last year's Sam Mendes-directed Skyfall was the first Bond film to cross the $1bn barrier at the global box office and currently stands as the highest-grossing film of all time at UK cinemas.

Rolls-Royce ‘Optimistic’ on Agreeing Energy Unit Sale to Siemens

Rolls-Royce Holdings Group Plc (RR/) said there’s a good chance that it will agree a sale of most of its energy unit to Siemens AG as part of a plan to revive sales growth and focus on businesses where it’s a major player.

“I’m reasonably optimistic that we’ll get something done,” Chief Executive Officer John Rishton told reporters at the company’s annual shareholder meeting in London, adding that the power arm is “sub-scale” and can’t effectively compete with either the German company or General Electric Co. (GE:US)

Rolls-Royce is negotiating with Siemens on the disposal of operations that supply equipment derived from its core aero-engine product line to the oil and gas industry and power utilities. Rishton said today that the move would improve the jet-engine maker’s focus as it seeks to revive growth that’s forecast to be flat this year for the first time in a decade.

Christian Bale Is Tom Hardy's Favourite Batman

'The Dark Knight Rises' actor Tom Hardy has been asked to name his favourite Batman actor - and, perhaps unsurprisingly, he named Christian Bale.

When asked to name his favourite Bat-actor by Hollywood Life before a screening of his new film 'Locke,' Hardy wasted no time naming his former co-star:

"I've already worked with Batman... Christian was my Batman, I'm very loyal."
