Expectations are set low for me, the 360 is on it's last year so I don't think there's much left to do with it. If that one rumor of a smaller, media centric/arcade only version for some low price comes true that'd be cool.

Even if the Xbox 3 comes out end of next year, we still have the rest of 2012, and all of 2013 to get through. I imagine they have SOME games that are coming out in that time frame.

Well ya, but I don't think anything to get people going other than Halo 4 and whatever Crytek does. But who knows? Maybe there's something hidden in there. Still I'm pretty sure next years E3 should be the big one with news of the next Xbox coming out.

yeah, i think GP is right. MS and Sony suffer from lazyitis. keep your expectations low this E3, there won't be much to talk about. i wouldn't be surprised if half of it will be about Windows Phone somehow.

Windows Phone stuff would be more interesting to me than more casual kinect stuff like last year. I'm down for some more 360 and WP integration/cross-platform play. Some think MS could talk about Windows 8 a bit as well, but I dunno.

Wasn't there a rumour kicking about that Windows Phone 8 would be announced at E3?

EDIT: Ah, I just read that WP8 is expected to be announced at the developer conference in June.

Actually the rumour was for Windows 8 RP going out at E3 cuz MS has said first week of June etc. They might tease some WP8 game stuff at E3 but we'll have to wait for the big demos at their developer conference.

Still, I think it's telling, WP8 dev conference after Win8 RP (and probably near final Win8 SDK) goes out, which probably means rumors of WinRT being the next dev platform on the phone are looking more and more true. Not that I had any doubt though, we all know SL and XNA are on the way out.

yeah i guess Win Phone 8 stuff would be nice, better hardware, so finally some decent games. i mean i love my WP7 device, but it is rather low spec compared to Android. and we don't have any FPS titles available.

    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.

      They have lots of info on me, I have a facebook account and have done so for years, it was the thing to have then. My phone number is not on it. I don't have the Facebook app on my phone these days, just the messenger part, and only for a couple of people to contact me, most will text me via SMS or phone. I agree, Meta, like others, even without an account will know something about me. Just have to try and keep some things private Also, never saw the need for Whatsapp, people used to ask for me to join it, but as I said to them, I have SMS and a phone, use that, or email
