Heartbreaking!!! I hope criminal charges will follow!!! What a horrible death to a innocent little one!!! And the psychological trauma the 14 year old will carry, they both could have died. Complete disregard for a human life.

Posted in: Sony bills coming PS4 console as future of gaming See in context
I would be very conservative about the sales expectations when this new console hits the market. The demand for these high performance, high priced game console is falling fast and seems like this is a trend that will continue for some time to come. I understand that sony, nintendo and ms xbox have a good following and they should capitalize with new gadgets and games but the new generation doesn't seem to be very attracted to them anymore. I am sure it is a great machine and my uncle will buy one but I will never see my cousin using it (figuratively).

She seems lovely! I never seen any of her videos myself but I think she is quite accomplished. A lot of the comments here seem to judge her profession so negatively and I really don't agree with that! I don't think that what she does makes her less interesting as person. Time to get your head out of your behind to look at the mirror!

When do they think the gaming performance of an tablet or smartphone will be comparable to that of an game console. I would say really soon. That is how long these consoles will survive.

25 KM??? Based in what? Those old sedans we see driving around as taxis would be luck to clock 10 km/l. My car runs 2 to 3 in the city and my work prius will go 18 to 20. Since these cars drive mostly in the commercial centers I don't believe these numbers are right.

This is very exciting. Autonomy should be around 500km (in order to get real 300km using air conditioning and lights) or it would just stall too often. I still do not understand how the internal combustion engine has not evolved yet. It has basically used the same technology for the last 70 years!!!
