Only one year ago was the PlayStation 2 discontinued; Sony’s most successful console saw a lengthy lifespan of roughly 13 years, with over 150 million units sold. But, can the same be said for the PS3 as the PS4 takes center stage? Well, as Sony’s Scott Rohde told GameIndustry International, “People are still buying PS3s.”Both PlayStation 3s and PlayStation 4s are currently available to purchase worldwide, with the latter naturally at a significantly lower cost. Yet, despite PS4 sales reaching upwards of 7 million globally, the head of PlayStation software product development feels the adoption of new technology differs between countries, possibly supporting the longevity of the PS3’s life.“All different parts of the world just adopt new technology at different rates. We don’t know how long the PS3 tail will last. We don’t know how it will be compared to the PS2.”Similar to the PS2, however, the PS3 continues to see third party support through companies such as Activision, Ubisoft, and EA, in addition to first-party aid from Sony themselves through including the console in the PlayStation Plus service’s free game offerings – something that can’t be said for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 for the month of July in terms of retail titles.Rohde echoed these facts regarding the PS3's support, saying:“We don’t know where all this is going to go, but we will continue to support the PS3 through first- and third-parties as long as there is a good business there for us.”Although it’s unclear about the PS3’s current state of affairs, the console has seen its share of ‘good business’. Over its 8-year life, the PlayStation 3 has surpassed 80 million units sold including its original, slim and super slim models. This success could continue, seeing how the console also features support for the Vita handheld, and will be receiving the PlayStation Now streaming service.  

 Movie looks decent for a Dwayne Johnson movie. 

Shut up you skank. I didn't see the other thread cause it didn't appear in the news feed. 

 

 

INB4 it never comes out again.

Gaza City (CNN) -- Thirteen Israeli troops were killed overnight in Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces said Sunday.

The IDF did not immediately give details.

Hamas said it lured Israeli tanks into a Gaza field in which it had hidden improvised explosive devices, and "destroyed the force completely."

In a statement, Hamas claimed "responsibility for this heroic operation on the doorsteps of Gaza."

It was Israel's biggest death toll in the current fighting, bringing the total killed to 18 soldiers and two civilians.

Among Palestinians, the death toll has soared past 400.

Hundreds fled in panic into Gaza City on Sunday as Israeli troops focused their firepower on the nearby town of Shaja'ia. The shelling and bombing killed at least 60 people and wounded 300, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

Bodies lay in streets beside gashes blasted into apartment buildings, said people who had escaped the violence.

Overnight, Hamas fired rockets from Shaja'ia toward Israel. The militant group also turned down an invitation by Egypt to talk about a cease-fire initiative that Cairo had proposed.

For three days, the IDF had warned residents of Shaja'ia to flee, Israel said. Such warnings are delivered through calls and text messages as well as fliers that said "it is the intention of the IDF to carry out aerial strikes against terror sites and operatives" in the area. The fliers told people to head to Gaza City by Wednesday morning and not to return until further notice. The IDF posted an English translation of the fliers Sunday on Twitter.

A Northern California couple out walking their dog on their Gold Country property stumbled across a modern-day bonanza: $10 million in rare, mint-condition gold coins buried in the shadow of an old tree.

Nearly all of the 1,427 coins, dating from 1847 to 1894, are in uncirculated, mint condition, said David Hall, co-founder of Professional Coin Grading Service of Santa Ana, which recently authenticated them.

Although the face value of the gold pieces only adds up to about $27,000, some of them are so rare that coin experts say they could fetch nearly $1 million apiece.

"I don't like to say once-in-a-lifetime for anything, but you don't get an opportunity to handle this kind of material, a treasure like this, ever," said veteran numismatist Don Kagin, who is representing the finders. "It's like they found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow."

In the past several years condom usage in Japan has continued to fall, resulting in a dramaticrise in cases of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. In fact, a 2008 global survey * put Japan in bottom 3rd for condom usage, despite estimates that the country produces between 20-30% of all condoms. So to help raise awareness for condoms in Japan, and close the gap between producer and user, Japanese authorｓ Kyosuke Kagami and Opanponhave co-written a book that incorporates condoms into one of Japan’s most beloved customs: cooking.

More risk, more reward

While Bayonetta 2 — like its predecessor — looks to be another high-intensity single player action experience, the Wii U exclusive is also set to include some online play through its two-player co-op "Tag Climax" mode. While it may not be integrated a great deal with the single player adventure, it seems like a potential fun extra.

Details of how it'll work have been outlined by Siliconera, and it sounds like an interesting prospect. Risk and reward seems to be at the core of the offering, while progress in the main campaign will open up more options in the online mode.

In stages that incorporate a mix of boss fights and horde battles you can either play with someone on your friend list, a random online player or even a CPU companion. You can dictate the time spent in the stages, and in "quick matches" you can also bet in-game currency (Halos in this case) with the other player over who'll get the better score. Setting stage difficulty sounds like the hearts equivalent in Kid Icarus: Uprising, meanwhile, in which betting more Halos will up the difficulty and increase rewards; failure brings to risk of losing this precious currency, naturally.

As for what stages are available, these will depend on the "Verse cards" that you've collected. It'll also likely be worthwhile to prioritise the single player campaign, too, as abilities and characters unlocked through the story are carried across into Tag Climax.

This seems, ultimately, like a fun arcade-like add-on, with the added benefit that success will be a way to boost your levels of in-game currency, allowing you to upgrade your abilities.

Do you like the sound of the Tag Climax online c

Sounds g8.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. Patent Office ruled Wednesday that the Washington Redskins nickname is "disparaging of Native Americans" and that the team's federal trademarks for the name must be canceled.

 

The 2-1 ruling comes after a campaign to change the name gained momentum over the past year. The team doesn't immediately lose trademark protection and is allowed to retain it during an appeal, which is likely.

 

Redskins owner Dan Snyder has refused to change the team's name, citing tradition, but there has been growing pressure including statements in recent months from President Barack Obama, lawmakers of both parties and civil rights groups.

 

The decision means that the team can continue to use the Redskins name, but it would lose a significant portion of its ability to protect the financial interests connected to its use. If others printed the name on sweatshirts, apparel, or other team material, it becomes more difficult to go after groups who use it without permission.

 

The case involves six registered trademarks that involve the use of the word Redskins, but it does not apply to the team's logo.

 

The decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board is similar to one it issued in 1999. That ruling was overturned in 2003 in large part on a technicality after the courts decided that the plaintiffs should have filed their complaint soon after the Redskins registered their nickname in 1967.

The Supreme Court struck down limits Wednesday in federal law on the overall campaign contributions the biggest individual donors may make to candidates, political parties and political action committees.

The justices said in a 5-4 vote that Americans have a right to give the legal maximum to candidates for Congress and president, as well as to parties and PACs, without worrying that they will violate the law when they bump up against a limit on all contributions, set at $123,200 for 2013 and 2014. That includes a separate $48,600 cap on contributions to candidates.

But their decision does not undermine limits on individual contributions to candidates for president or Congress, now $2,600 an election.

Chief Justice John Roberts announced the decision, which split the court's liberal and conservative justices. Roberts said the aggregate limits do not act to prevent corruption, the rationale the court has upheld as justifying contribution limits.

The overall limits "intrude without justification on a citizen's ability to exercise 'the most fundamental First Amendment activities,'" Roberts said, quoting from the court's seminal 1976 campaign financeruling in Buckley v. Valeo.

Justice Clarence Thomas agreed with the outcome of the case, but wrote separately to say that he would have gone further and wiped away all contribution limits.

Justice Stephen Breyer, writing for the liberal dissenters, took the unusual step of reading a summary of his opinion from the bench.

Congress enacted the limits in the wake of Watergate-era abuses to discourage big contributors from trying to buy votes with their donations and to restore public confidence in the campaign finance system.

But in a series of rulings in recent years, the Roberts court has struck down provisions of federal law aimed at limiting the influence of big donors as unconstitutional curbs on free speech rights.

Most notably, in 2010, the court divided 5 to4 in the Citizens United case to free corporations and labor unions to spend as much as they wish on campaign advocacy, as long as it is independent of candidates and their campaigns. That decision did not affect contribution limits to individual candidates, political parties and political action committees.

Republican activist Shaun McCutcheon of Hoover, Ala., the national Republican party and Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky challenged the overall limits on what contributors may give in a two-year federal election cycle. The total is $123,200, including a separate $48,600 cap on contributions to candidates, for 2013 and 2014.

Limits on individual contributions, currently $2,600 per election to candidates for Congress, are not at issue.

Relaxed campaign finance rules have reduced the influence of political parties, McConnell and the GOP argued.

McCutcheon gave the symbolically significant $1,776 to 15 candidates for Congress and wanted to give the same amount to 12 others. But doing so would have put him in violation of the cap.

Nearly 650 donors contributed the maximum amount to candidates, PACs and parties in the last election cycle, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

The court did not heed warnings from Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. and advocates of campaign finance limits that donors would be able to funnel large amounts of money to a favored candidate in the absence of the overall limit.

David Letterman, the longest-running host in the history of late-night television, will retire from his CBS show next year, the latest shake-up in a roiling talk-show lineup.

Mr. Letterman, who has always used his show as the outlet for discussing developments in both his life and his career, announced his decision during a taping Thursday afternoon in Manhattan.

He said he had informed the CBS president, Leslie Moonves, of his intention to step down from “Late Show With David Letterman” at the end of his current contract, which expires in 2015. Mr. Moonves has been steadfast in his assurances in recent years that he would never ask Mr. Letterman to retire, saying at one point, “You don’t do that to a television legend.”

Mr. Letterman, who will turn 67 next week, is considered by many critics and fans to be the most original voice in the late-night format, and several of his comedy bits, including Stupid Pet Tricks, Stupid Human Tricks and his nightly Top 10 list, have become indelible pieces of contemporary American culture.

That is why this summer, we will begin delivering a selection of ad-supported full TV episodes on mobile devices– for free. (Until now, viewers have been able to access Hulu’s free service only on the desktop). With our re-imagining of mobile viewing, we want you, our viewers, to have more access to the content you love, right at your fingertips. Additionally, later this summer, we will be launching the next generation of the Hulu Plus iPhone app.

Hulu Plus is now accessible on more than 400 million internet-connected devices in the United States, including Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Chromecast, and most recently, Amazon’s new set-top box, Amazon Fire TV. After redesigning our living room devices such as Roku and Wii-U, we saw average-minutes-viewed increase by over 30%. And out of our tens of millions of viewers, there are 3000 unique ways Hulu viewers access content on Hulu and Hulu Plus (for example, I watch on my iPad and Apple TV).
