So is there a source of this damn stream that actually works properly? I'm getting tired of this pause every ****ing 10-15 seconds ****.

Depends on your internet connection. Mine is fine but I am using a 100/100 connection here at work. doesn't pause that much.

love the presentation so far, Killzone 4 is amazing. PS4 will be great, love their ideas, love the integration...

but Sony, as an American working in Asia, while I will always love you, regarding all your talk of one world, removing boundaries, and integration...why is your app "not available" to me via the Google Play store? This is the brave new world you're talking about? If it's because of some stupid government regulation, use the billions of dollars we give you and FIGHT IT.

The fact that all my music on my lumia 920 will be on the xbox 720. All my videos also. The fact that all this is synced with my windows 8 pc at home. The fact that Microsoft is talking to tv providers to get the console used as a stb. The rumors of it having an hdmi in so that it can integrate with your tv like google tv does.

The ps3 does not do this with my phone .

Well not for nothing, this is more down to what fits your personal needs then the fact it too will also be a very capable media powerhouse. Your initial quote made it out to be that it was not a good media powerhouse, and that is just simply not the case. Not only that but just by your response, it is clear the PS4 simply does not meet your needs whatsoever. You have a Windows based phone. Did you really believe that the competitions console would support that device? Or were you simply making a comment to make it seem not as capable because your own needs make it so? That would be like me saying the next MS Surface tablet blows as it will not sync my current iOS Apps. That is a given no?

Not really sure what makes it as good or better...

Well if we are talking media, which is what the quote was about, I can tell you why I feel it is better. And keep in mind it is not like it is leagues better, but it is better at the end of the day. Here is why I believe why.

It handles more file types overall. In particular, how it handles .mkv files is much better overall. Although this is more of a opinion, I do feel It is a more streamlined interface. Not as much digging into menus to get to media (for example a network drive on the 360 is a few clicks away, where on the PS3 it shows up right under its respective category. Netflix seems better on it overall (I am not the only one who feels this why, it is the top device for Netflix), and of course BluRay support.

I obviously own both consoles, so I simply just choose to use the one that handles media better. I think that is the PS3, and I gave the 360 more than a chance at proving me wrong. I tried using it exclusively as a media device for awhile, and had nothing but issues with file types and Windows Media Center not working or working. The PS3 I never had such issues.

At the very least I will agree that a lot of it comes down to preference, but I will not agree to the fact the 360 blows it away as a media device when that simply is just not the case.

This whole presentation is games games games. No mention of even having a Blu-ray player. ITs a well known fact that tablets are outselling everything. If PS4 doesn't have a BIG emphasis on media and an Easy way to access it they will have a hard time selling a lot of consoles.

IF the rumors of the xbox 720 are true it can sell a lot of consoles as just a stb for media and cable companies if the games console market tanks. The rumors even state of having a stb for just the media portions. Keep in mind having an HDMI IN means it could even act as a dvr.

Also keep in mind ease of accessing everything. Not everybody goes to neowin and knows how to run a dlna server to serve content to the ps3.

If the next xbox integrates with cable companies it can sell a ton of consoles without a single game being played on it.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By KMilenkoski1202 · Posted

      Carol, Windows XP is still being used today only in a small capacity. It is still the best OS there is due to its backwards compatibility with other older software, the customization features, and friendly UI, and people often feel that upgrading to newer OSes is cost prohibitive in specialized Industries or developing countries, so the market share as of now is around 0.2%-0.3%

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.
