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"

LG G Pro 2 With Android 4.4, Snapdragon 800 Launched at Rs. 51,500

by Ketan Pratap, May 05, 2014

inShare2

LG has launched the much-awaited G Pro 2 smartphone in India at Rs. 51,500. LG announced the G Pro 2, the successor to the Optimus G Pro without revealing the price and availability in February.

Notably, the smartphone was available ahead of the official unveiling in India at a discounted price of Rs. 49,900 through an e-commerce website. The South Korean handset giant released the G Pro 2 in Korea initially in February.

The LG G Pro 2 runs Android 4.4 KitKat out-of-the-box. It features a 5.9-inch full-HD IPS display with a 1080x1920 pixel resolution and sports a slim bezel. A quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor powers the phablet, clocked at 2.26GHz with an Adreno 330 GPU and 3GB of RAM.

LG's new phablet sports a 13-megapixel rear camera with OIS+ (Optical Image Stabiliser Plus) and LED flash, while there is a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera. The G Pro 2's rear camera supports 4K Ultra HD recording, Magic Focus, Natural Flash, Flash for Selfie, and Burst Shot.

The 5.9-inch handset comes in two storage variants: 16GB and 32GB. The G Pro 2 further supports microSD card (no word on maximum storage capacity supported).

The G Pro 2 supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS/ A-GPS, GPRS/ EDGE and 3G connectivity options. It is backed by a 3,200mAh battery and will be available in Titan Black, Silver and White colour variants.

The smartphone measures 157.9x81.9x8.3mm and weighs 172 grams. The company has included a new Knock Code feature on the LG G Pro 2 which the company claims is an evolution of the KnockON feature that was first introduced in the LG G2 last year.

Soon Kwon, MD, LG India commenting on the launch said, "We launched the G Pro last year in the Indian market and received an exceptionally favorable response from consumers. Following the success of the G Pro, we are launching the new G Pro 2, with enhanced features, based on the feedback of our consumers. The year 2014, is going to be an exciting year, as LG plans to bring out a string of innovative devices, which will capture the imagination of users. By year end, we intend to take on 10% share of the Indian smartphone market."

Apple's Win in Court Won't Hurt Samsung or Android

A U.S. District Court jury in San Jose, Calif., found that some Samsung devices had infringed on Apple's patent for "quick links," a feature that dials a phone number included in an email, and Apple's "slide to unlock" patent, for gaining access to a device. The jury will reconvene on Monday to determine whether additional damages are necessary for Samsung's infringement of Apple's "auto-complete" patent, which offers suggestions about how to change or complete a word during typing.

But the verdict is expected to have little impact in the marketplace. Legal experts and people close to the company said most of the infringing products are no longer sold, and Samsung is likely to implement alternative technologies for future models.

The verdict won't hurt Samsung financially either, even if it is upheld following likely appeals. The award of $119 million in damages amounts to roughly one-quarter of 1% of Samsung's $47.56 billion in cash. It is also a far cry from the $930 million Apple was awarded following an earlier trial—one of the biggest awards in patent-litigation history. Samsung has appealed that verdict.

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.
