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.

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
