The company is also be collaborating with third party publishers such as Ubisoft to create more game titles geared towards hardcore gamers. They also are focusing on innovative games that will enhance gameplay utilizing the Wii U’s new controller and console technology.

Recently, Ubisoft announced Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth for the Wii U and Xbox 360 Kinect. Other Ubisoft games for the Wii U include Assassin’s Creed 3 and Killer Freaks from Outer Space. Rayman Legends was also recently leaked via a Wii U demonstration video in April showing off some impressive NFC technology similar to that of Activision’s Skylanders.Wii U will also come with games like Super Mario and Pikmin 3 and this will be shown during the E3 Expo. Pikmin 3 is the sequel to the 2004 Pikmin 2 and is the third game in the Pikmin series.

The Wii U is the first Nintendo console to produce 1080p high-definition graphics, and features a new controller with an embedded touchscreen. The controller allows a player to continue playing certain games by displaying the game even when the television is off. The system will be backwards compatible with Wii, and Wii U games can support compatibility with Wii peripherals, such as the Wii Remote Plus, Nunchuck, and Classic Controller Pro. It will not be backwards compatible with Nintendo GameCube media or peripherals.

The next PlayStation console, PlayStation4 codenamed Orbis will be the successor to the PlayStation3. It is in development and is expected to be released at the end of 2013, ahead of Microsoft’s next generation console. News site VG247 cites an unnamed source in predicting that the PlayStation4 will get the jump on Microsoft’s machine, at least in terms of release timing.

It’s been revealed that the PS4 is packing an AMD x64 CPU and 28nm AMD Southern Islands graphics power. The source doesn’t go into any detail about what revision of AMD CPU hardware it’s going to be using, but it could be the forthcoming Piledriver revision of the weak Bulldozer architecture from the AMD FX-8150 CPU.

Meanwhile, IGN reports that the PS4 will be powered specifically by the AMD Radeon HD 7670 chip and the A8-3850 APU.If that’s true, it really is a big surprise. Those chips aren’t even the best that AMD currently has to offer – so by the time the PS4 goes on sale it would be woefully lacking in power compared to the latest AMD tech, let alone the most advanced chips from Nvidia and Intel.

Wii-U

The Xbox 720, again an informal term and with the codename Durango is to launch in time for Christmas 2013, according to information previously published by VG247, with key development studios briefed in February. Sony is believed to be holding its own developer summits in May and June.

Nintendo’s successor to the Wii, know as the Wii-U, was treated to an official announcement at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in June 2011, though representatives for both Microsoft and Sony have indicated that their own machines won’t be subject to the same treatment at this year’s event.

Nighttime photograph of much of the Atlantic coast of the United States. Large metropolitan areas and other easily recognizable sites from the Virginia/Maryland/Washington, D.C. area are visible in the image that spans almost to Rhode Island. Boston is just out of frame at right. Long Island and the New York City area are visible in the lower right quadrant. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are near the center.

Moscow appears at the center of this nighttime image photographed by the NASA, Expedition 30 crew aboard the International Space Station, flying at an altitude of approximately 240 miles on March 28, 2012.

Nile River Delta at Night – One of the fascinating aspects of viewing Earth at night is how well the lights show the distribution of people. In this view of Egypt, the population is shown to be almost completely concentrated along the Nile Valley, just a small percentage of the country’s land area.

Panorama of much of the East Coast, photographed by one of the Expedition 30 crew members aboard the International Space Station, provides a look generally northeastward: Philadelphia-New York City-Boston corridor (bottom-center); western Lake Ontario shoreline with Toronto (left edge); Montreal (near center). An optical illusion in the photo makes the atmospheric limb and light activity from Aurora Borealis appear “intertwined.”

The difference between WEP, WPA and WPA2.

Wire Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the older form of privacy developed in 1999 to secure wireless Access Points. WEP is used at the two lowest layers of the of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model – the data link and physical layers; it is therefore does not offer end-to-end security.

Then come the WiFi Protected Areas (WPA), which replaced WEP while using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to enhance security. TKIP works by generating a sequence of WEP keys based on a master key, and re-keying periodically before enough volume of info could be captured to recover the WEP key.

WPA2 is built on WPA to prevent more advanced tools from cracking WPA security. With WPA2 comes the introduction of AES algorithm, which is easily implemented in hardware and theoretically impossible to cracked.

Origami is a form of visual / sculptural representation that is defined primarily by the folding of the medium (usually paper).

Origami (折り紙, from ori meaning “folding”, and kami meaning “paper”; kami changes to gami due to rendaku) is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, which started in the 17th century AD at the latest and was popularized outside of Japan in the mid-1900s.

Want to take the truly paperless route in your home and office? Why, the PrePeat Printer could be just the thing for you. After all, it uses a new kind of technology which actually achieves “printouts” without using either ink or paper, thanks to a heat sensitive plastic sheet alongside a precision thermal head that “prints” out both gray scale text and images.

Ink-less / toner-less printers aren’t exactly new, but here’s a more novel approach: ink-less, toner-less, and completely reusable. It manages to do this by adding a thermal head to the printer and using a special plastic paper called Peat Paper (PET Plastic). The paper is white, but can also turn black based on the temperature applied to it. So when a clean white sheet of Peat Paper is run through the printer the thermal head can turn sections of it black so you get printed text or documents. Erasing the paper just means putting it through the printer again.
