The rumors were true.  The scuttlebutt was that on February 20, Sony would announce the PlayStation 4.  What happened?  Well, yesterday, Sony announced the PlayStation 4.  Sony’s latest video game system was revealed to the public at a big press event yesterday courtesy of Sony CEO Andrew House, though the system itself won’t be available for fans to get their hands on until the 2013 holiday season.

It looks as though Sony is doing its best to break down the barrier between console gaming and PC gaming with the most PC-like gaming system yet released.  It’s going to be based on the x86 processor (the same as every computer), and it will have 8 GB of GDDR5 memory and an onboard hard drive.  Most importantly, it will also feature a lot of online capabilities, from downloading games to pausing and sharing games online.  You can also play full streaming video games, pause and resume games hours or days later, push video game content to the PS Vita online, and easily share videos of your gaming skills online via the PlayStation Network.

Even more impressively, Sony has gotten one of the traditional anti-console hold-outs to cave.  Blizzard, makers of World of Warcraft and many other awesome games, are entering into a special agreement with Sony to bring Diablo III to the PS4.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
