Playstation 4 Available From November 21st


The anticipation of the Playstation 4 has increased with the E3 presentation this past week with many gamers immeasurably. But how long do you have to wait for the console yet? If you believe a British newspaper, the Playstation 4 will appear on 21 November 2013. That at least is evident from an advertisement. Whether it is a confirmed date or just a shot in the dark, however, remains unclear for the time being. It would fit: On 29 November starting at least in the U.S., Black Friday, the traditional Christmas shopping and therefore the most profitable time of the year. What is an E3-opener. First, Microsoft opened the show with an impressive game show. Then Sony surprised the gaming world - and arguably the competition - with the Playstation 4 announcements. The console comes in 2013 for 399 Euros in the trade and is therefore 100 Euros cheaper than the Xbox one. Sony leaves in everything the same stuff used commercially. Players can lend or sell without having to accept any additional fees continue their games. And the Playstation 4 does not require online connection. No question, Sony has listened to the players in recent months. Furthermore, Sony has mentioned prices of some peripherals. Thus, you pay for a DualShock controller 4 59 Euros, the Playstation camera's for 49 Euros.

Official documents reveal technical details of New Nexus 7


Small and cheap tablets are selling like hot cakes and they are of more demand this is the reason enough for Google, the new Nexus 7 According to rumors, the successor is coming in July with a faster Processor, full HD display and a new Android system. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration for communications equipment (FCC) has published on its pages various documents also reveal technical details of the highly anticipated Nexus 7's successor. Accordingly, the device made by Asus carries the model designation K009 and houses similar hardware from the chip maker Qualcomm, as it is also found in the Nexus 4th Specific regard to the LTE-capable wireless chip "WTR 1605L" and the four-core processor from the "Snapdragon S4 Pro" series (APQ 8064). In contradiction to this, however, is a message of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, according to the newer Snapdragon processor 600 is installed in the second Nexus, as it is also found in the HTC One or partially in Samsung Galaxy S4. It remains unclear whether here the two are very similar model numbers have been confused (APQ-8064 and APQ-8064T) or the manufacturer for different regions is planning several model variations. A brief comparison of the two chips is that the performance differences in practice are likely to be barely noticeable. DigiTimes also now confirmed the information that AppleInsider has received several weeks ago to the second generation of the Nexus seventh Thus, more and more compacted that Asus and Google bring out the Nexus 7's successor in July 2013. According to DigiTimes, the tablet successor has heard the term "7s" and should be around 30 Euros or more expensive. However, the price adjustment due to higher quality components not successes, but to the direct price competition with entry-level tablets to avoid, the source continued. Thus, Google is targeting the device from the middle class. The high end of the manufacturer wants to leave Apple with the iPad mini. Asus reportedly offered to the Nexus a sharper display. Instead of 1280x800 pixels in the first generation is the successor to buyers can look forward to a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels. Also mounted on the rear side; a five megapixel camera to be on the first board. In order to continue to win the favor of the purchaser shall be stowed in a thinner frame, the technology of the successor. So that the appliance cannot be quickly out of breath, a 4000 milliamp-hour (mAh) strong battery is installed, you can also charge wirelessly. Usually Google presents new Nexus devices along with a new version of Android. Since Google has not been as expected for in-house developer conference, a new version of the mobile operating system shown, the Group remains its users on software side a little guilty. Therefore quite possible that the Internet giant along with the new Nexus 7 and Android 4.3 or even 5.0 version shows. As DigiTimes reports, the change is from Nvidia on Qualcomm processors not on price, because the two chips cost about the same. The reason should be that Nvidia can timely provide the latest-generation Tegra processor (Tegra 4) not to launch the Nexus seventh According to others, but the price will be crucial for the processor change.

Two factor authentications happen on Windows Azure



With Security service, Active Authentication must allow secured access to the cloud platform for its employees and partners. The director of Windows Azure, Sarah Fender, announced in a blog post from Microsoft a new service, Active Authentication, would bring strong authentication, multi-factor, the Microsoft cloud platform. This was expected for the Microsoft account, but not necessarily on the services dedicated to business. Two-factor authentication can be enabled now, for employees of a company, its partners or clients. Management is done on Windows Azure Active Directory, which manages the identities for several cloud services from Microsoft. The double-authentication therefore will work for Office 365, Windows Azure, Intune, Dynamics CRM, and other embedded applications with Windows Azure AD. The system set up is relatively straightforward; password on the website or mobile app and text for the second authentication by message. This obviously increases safety by reducing the potential for illegitimate access. The price of this service is not final, but we should expect $ 2 per user per month for one double authentication, or $ 2 every 10 authentications performed. A test period is implemented, those prices are halved.

We should also find all the basic functions of a dedicated reading and flow synchronization services by including in a flow sharing section and organization records. After this beta to be released in extremis - hope that the launch will take place without quack ... - Digg has already planned improvements for its service. An Android application is provided, additional services will be integrated as Evernote or IFTTT and most advanced sorting and filtering tools are available. Still research and notifications are planned. Digg RSS is a paid, or rather freemium service. The basic functions will remain free, but can be a subscription that will unlock other features. Initially, however, the publisher intends to propose a viable alternative to Google Reader service. It will be hard to do while alternatives are already in place, especially since we do not know the position of the service API. Without it, Digg will never be integrated with third party software, like Reeder.
