The PS4 will be able to stream PS3 games

 

In recent days we have been talking a lot about the Sony PS4 and Microsoft Xbox 720, the two most anticipated video game consoles of the year. Now we have news on the PlayStation 4.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, there is probably a streaming service available for the PS4. This service will be used for streaming titles in our new PS3 console directly, so we can play them via the Internet. Apparently the stream will be exclusive to PS3 games, as the new PS4 will have to play them directly from the optical disk. The new technology will be presented on Wednesday 20 along with the new console.

Is this possible? Well yes it is, and there is a fact that would confirm: Gaikai purchase by Sony last year. Gaikai is an online gaming service, so it is very likely that Sony wants to get the most out of your purchase. We're not quite sure how Sony plans to implement this service to the PS4, but certainly will be something worth seeing.

Remember, the future console will come out on Wednesday February 20.

GRID 2 shows us a new gameplay

GRID 2 is a new car racing game being developed by Codemasters. It is the sequel to another title of the same gender, Race Driver: Grid, which was released in 2008 and received rave reviews from both magazines and analysts as the players themselves. GRID will be released for PS3, Xbox 360 and Windows in late May in Europe and North America.

About the game will know little. Apparently racetracks will completely real in locations such as in the case of cities like Abu Dhabi, Paris and some other U.S.. Besides, auto varied and include several years, with models in total 4 different decades. One of the strongest points of the game is its new operating system, known as "TrueFeel" and able to provide a similar experience to that of a real car, as told by Codemasters. Something worth noting is that it will have a cockpit view (or first person in this case), since apparently only 5% of players make use of it, so it would not be necessary to include in the game.

Below you can see a recent gameplay video that shows a little of what GRID 2 will offer:

Apple should take care of future Windows PCs

The beginning of Windows 8 has not been good, and in fact did not even meet all the expectations of Microsoft. To make matters worse, the Apple iPad is virtually cannibalizing PCs and laptops, especially because most buyers are only interested in surfing the Internet and update your Facebook status. If you count tablets as PCs, Apple becomes the No.1 provider of PCs in the world, surpassing even big companies like HP and Lenovo, among others.

Even so, and seeing how the numbers are, it is obvious that the PCs are far from dead, and probably will not for the next 20 or 30 years. In fact, you may soon recover all his honor, as a Citibank analyst suggested that Apple should take care of future computers with Windows 8, which will bring innovation and new technology to industry.

While few innovations expected level tablets during the second half of 2013, will itself many innovations in computers and laptops. We're talking about teams with touch screens, ultrathin and ultraportable at very low prices that would be able to compete (and probably end) with the 10-inch tablet on the block, which is not prepared for such a challenge. Remember also that Intel wants ultrabooks future touch Haswell use their processors can be purchased from $ 600.

Do you think Apple should really give importance to this fact or simply should continue as it has done so far? Are the PCs and laptops a real threat to the company on the block?

The iPad could be redesigned and April would be presented the new model

According to Piper Jaffray, Apple is preparing to carry out a new event to be held in April, and more precisely at the end of that month. It is expected that the company there present a new model of its popular 10-inch tablet, the iPad. Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray, said that in recent years the great events of spring (northern hemisphere) of Apple were to introduce a new iPad, as Apple introduced the iPad Mini a few months ago and only made ​​a few updates to its big brother, it is estimated that a new model will be released in just over eight weeks.

It is believed that the future iPad will have a design very similar to adopting the iPad Mini, which by the way would be receiving the new Retina display near the end of the year, mainly due to problems of Apple's suppliers.

Beyond that, Munster believes that Apple TV platform will receive a software update that will make any model that integrates on TV that all like to have.

Tell us: How would you like the design of the new iPad? Like the idea that resembles the iPad Mini?

This arcade machine rewards you with a beer if you win in the game

 

There was a time when if you wanted to play games with decent graphics had to spend some money on a recreation center for yellow spheres move through mazes chased by ghosts or spacecraft that could only move in two dimensions. Someone had the idea of ​​recovering those arcade machines but to give you even more 'charm' to the thing was rigged with a bonus: if you win the game rewards you with a beer.
The machine is only equipped with a game called 'The last bar fight'. Basically it is a game based on the classic fights. You start by choosing one of five characters and start the fight using techniques of attack and defense with the added bonus that the action in the game takes place in a bar environment. If you win three rounds before your opponent machine rewards you fill your glass with a beer.
Somehow you could see it as a form of 'bet' that are better than the opponent knowing that the winner will take the prize safely. On the other hand, a more original that serve beer in a bar that could possibly lead to real fights

Designed computer that never crashes

 

One of the basic features of any self-respecting computer is its ability to hang on many occasions when the least expect it to. Windows users are familiar with the famous 'blue screen of death' with cryptic messages that force you to restart the computer. Today, not so much as before, but still a problem to consider and more serious than it seems if we talk about certain cases. Imagine that the computer system failure aboard a rocket is taking off just when or computer in your home just as you finished a job and you have enabled 'auto save'.
To remedy this, researchers at the University of London have designed what became the first computer in the world that does not crash. Funnily achieved by applying rules and laws that are in the world of biology, not the computer.
The basic problem is that one current computer programs are based on linear compounds of a series of instructions that are executed sequentially. When one of these lines of program crashes, that's when it reaches a critical point at which the program can not work and, in extreme cases, the computer becomes blocked.
The idea of ​​these researchers is to avoid this somehow mimicking a brain operation. In a brain find that the data are stored are not located in one place, but in several redundantly. Thus, in case of missing some of the data needed to perform a function can find them elsewhere.
The next step we are trying to get more curious from the IT perspective. They aim to create a dynamic program code to re-program itself according to external conditions change to occur. Again science imitating nature, in this case to ensure that in the future your computer never crash and also be able to re-program itself

Scientists create cells zombie exceeding acting to live versions

 

Scientists at the University of New Mexico have created in laboratory cells zombie who perform their duties better than living cells. It's not science fiction. They used a group of breast cells to coat with a suspension of silicon that has completely coated nanometer level. As a result they have obtained cells 'replicants' that outperform their versions 'alive'. Not only that, but are more resistant to extreme environments such as high temperatures and pressures.

Scientists have somehow painted with silicon cells which acts as a permeable armor. After the cell subjected to high temperatures up to 400 degrees, thus the whole cell protein material disappears by evaporation, leaving a remnant a replica formed by a silicon structure.
According to the researchers' zombie cells bind our chemistry and biology to create forms that not only look like their past versions, can also work in the future work. "
So far only isolated cells, but who knows if in the future will be able to create micro (or macro) organisms with the ability to carry out exploration in hostile environments inside and outside our planet.
