5 reasons why PS4 and Xbox One games will blow your minds in 8 years time
Now that the Xbox One and PS4 consoles are on sale, with only the European launch of the latter yet to come on 29 November, we can safely say that we've entered a new era of gaming.
The last two weeks have gone past like a blur and much has been said in the Xbox One versus PS4 battle. But ever since Sony announced its next-generation machine in New York on 20 February, and showcased a number of games as launch titles or beyond, gamers have been excitedly discussing the quality of the graphics, or the potential of both the PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's rival.
Some have pointed to games such as Killzone: Shadow Fall, Forza Motorsport 5, or Titanfall as examples of why you should ditch your current-gen machine immediately. Some highlight Quantic Dreams' The Dark Sorcerer tech demo as to what we can finally expect our home consoles to be capable of. But we say, poppycock. If you think what you've seen so far is good, you'll eventually have your tiny minds chewed up, spat out, wrapped up in Semtex and blown. Mightily.
In seven or eight years' time, when we're possibly even looking towards the launches of the next-next-gen of consoles (the Xbox Two or PS5), games will be so many steps further on in performance and quality that it is hard to even fathom now what they will look like.
To prove it, we've taken a look at five top games that featured as launch titles for the current generation of consoles, either Xbox 360, PS3 or both, and their franchise equivalents at the tail end of those consoles' lifespans. The difference in quality is quite remarkable. And to think, we were blown away by the standards in 2005 and 2006. What would our younger selves have thought of the latest games?
FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup vs FIFA 14
The first FIFA game to come out for the Xbox 360 was a World Cup tie-in that many thought looked great and it was often touted as "the most realistic FIFA to date". Jump forward eight years and it's remarkable how different the latest chapter looks, considering it is using the exact same graphics hardware.
FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup (Xbox 360) - 2005
Definition, animation, just about everything has been improved. Even the gameplay is remarkably different, with the original feeling like it plods along in comparison. There's also a distinct air of automation about FIFA 06.
FIFA 14 (Xbox 360) - 2013
If this is an example, just imagine what FIFA 22 will look like on the Xbox One or PS3.
Call of Duty 2 vs Call of Duty: Ghosts
Er... This one really staggered us. We may have been wearing rose-tinted spectacles, but we remembered the second Call of Duty game - the first to hit "next-gen" - very fondly indeed.
Call of Duty 2 (Xbox 360) - 2005
But in comparison with later titles, even those that came just a few years after, it looks incredibly dated. It's almost as though it couldn't have been on the Xbox 360 at all.
Call of Duty: Ghosts (Xbox 360) - 2013
When compared to Ghosts, the latest in the franchise, it's like seeing a Charlie Chaplin movie and comparing it to Life of Pi. That's also a great analogy in the respect that graphics aside, Call of Duty 2 is still quality entertainment. The gameplay seemed a lot less showy and more honest back then. And the World War II setting was a fave of ours.
Resistance: Fall of Man vs Resistance 3
There's a shorter gap between these two PS3 exclusive games, one a launch title and one coming out in 2011, but the difference in graphical quality is still there for all to see.
Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3) - 2006
The original was touted as a real graphical tour de force at the time, but in comparison it looks far less detailed.
Resistance 3 (PS3) - 2011
Also compare it to modern PS3 games like The Last of Us and Beyond: Two Souls, albeit with the latter being heavy on visuals rather than gameplay, and you can see just how much developers have eked out of the PS3's graphics capabilities.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 vs Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14
Like with the FIFA comparison, EA Sports certainly found ways to get more objects and better textures in its games over the years.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 (Xbox 360) - 2005
We're just about to lose Tiger from the front cover and the title for next year's effort, so there's no more fitting time to consider the impact this franchise had made on gaming in general.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 (Xbox 360) - 2013
The one thing we will say about the 2005 game is that it came out in a much more innocent time in terms of money-making, with a buy and play what you bought model, rather than hoik all manner of paid-for content at you after you've already shelled out close to £40. We can almost put up with trousers that look like they've had too much starch added for that.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted vs Need for Speed: Rivals
Our final example is possibly the one with the least impact as the original 2005 Need for Speed: Most Wanted - not to be confused with the similarly named game that came out at the end of last year - still looks more than half-decent.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (Xbox 360) - 2005
Many driving games still look like that today.
Need for Speed: Rivals (Xbox 360) - 2013
But look at the more realistic detail on the cars in the latest entry to the franchise and you can see how much work and effort has gone into even the tiniest factors. It's scary to think how much more advanced car racing games can become if this is the leap in quality using the same hardware in just eight years. We bet there'll still be a Need for Speed game, that's for sure. The brand has now been going for almost 20 years.
To be honest, you can draw your own conclusions really. But when we found our first example in Call of Duty 2, rather than it making us look backwards in horror to what we thought was top-notch, A-one technology at the time, it instead made us look forward, to the potential of the new machines. We can only dream about the possible games that will be served over the coming years. And it has us very excited indeed.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL?
30 May 2013 09:52 GMT | Human Rights, Business & Economy, Nepal
A Mexican climber has been recognised as the first person to scale Mount Everest from both the north and south sides in the same climbing season.
David Liano Gonzalez, 33, of Mexico City, was issued a certificate by the Guinness World Records on Thursday at a ceremony in Katmandu, Nepal's capital.
Gonzalez scaled the 8,850m mountain from the southern face of the peak in Nepal on May 11 and again from the Tibetan side on the north on May 19.
"I think trying the double summit and achieving it for the first time in history, it was just as challenging as it was in my first time in 2005," Gonzalez said. "The mountain is the same but at the same time it was different."
He said he was fortunate that higher elevations were not crowded with other climbers during the busy climbing season.
"One of my thoughts on summit day was that I was fortunate to be able to summit alone, to have it for me and my sherpa as Edmund Hillary and Tenzing were lucky 60 years ago to have the mountain to themselves," said Gonzalez, who first climbed Everest in 2005 and again in 2008 and 2010.
He has made it now to the mountain's summit five times.
Gonzalez now plans to sail solo around the world later this year, and then one day paraglide off the Everest summit.
"I am also a paragliding pilot and one of my passions is flying off the summits of very high peaks," he said.

and you thought Velvet Boy was bad...
by Lissa
posted Jul 28 2010 1:28AM
Okay, so we've been giving Rocky hell for the last week about his uber-embarrassing childhood pics and the fact that he had SEVERAL Mom-inflicted wardrobe tragedies. He's been quite the sport about it. But whaddaya know - a very intelligent (and perceptive) listener called in and pointed out that neither Sue NOR Lissa had offered up their own adolescent imagery to go head-to-head with "Velvet Boy" in a pre-pubescent awkwardness showdown. Wellllll.....here we go. And sadly, I had NO say in these photos because they were emailed directly from my Dad to Rocky (yes, Dad's a huge Rocky fan - go figure). So enjoy. And bear in mind that these fashion crimes are probably far worse than Rock's, because they were self-inflicted. My dear, sweet, innocent Mother had nothing to do it.
Email us YOUR horrendous childhood pics if you think you can up the embarrassment level! The WORST (read: "most emotionally scarring") will win tickets and backstage passes to the Goo Goo Dolls on August 7th. Contest ends August 4, 2010. Send pics here:

Israel will not allow a recurrence to the state that existed before Operation Cast Lead, when constant rocket and mortar fire rained on the western Negev from the Gaza Strip, a senior government official said on Saturday night in response to the escalating violence in the South."We are determined not to return to such a reality," he said.The official's comments followed calls for restraint from around the world, including the US, France and Britain.Hamas head Khaled Mashaal, meeting with senior members of Palestinian terrorist groups in Damascus, hinted at widening the confrontation, saying, "we will do everything to obtain the rights stolen from us, including confrontation with the enemy."On Friday, Regional Development Minister Silvan Shalom (Likud) told Israel Radio that if the rocket fire did not stop, Israel would have to increase the level of military activity and "step up [its] actions against Hamas.""We won't allow frightened children to again be raised in bomb shelters, and so, in the end, it will force us to launch another military operation. I hope we can avoid it, but it is one of the options we have, and if we have no choice, we will use it in the near future," he said.About 20 rockets were fired at Israel in March, including one that killed Mane Singauephon, a Thai worker, in the worst violence since the end of Operation Cast Lead in January 2009.On March 26, two Golani Brigade soldiers, Maj. Eliraz Peretz and St.-Sgt. Maj. Ilan Sviatkovsky, were killed in the southern Gaza Strip after they spotted men placing what seemed to be bombs near the fence and crossed into the Palestinian side.US State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley, when asked about the air strikes in response to the rocket attacks, said that while he didn't know the "predicate" for the Israeli action, "The Israelis have a right to self-defense." "At the same time," he added, "as we have said many times, we don't ultimately think that there is a military solution to this. It's why we have been pressing the Palestinians and the Israelis to get into proximity talks that can lead to direct negotiations."Crowley said the US was always concerned that "steps taken by either side, legitimate or otherwise, can be misconstrued, can be twisted, and end up causing turbulence that can be an impediment to progress. So our message remains to the Israelis and Palestinians that we need to get the proximity talks going, focus on the substance, move to direct negotiations, and ultimately arrive at a settlement that ends the conflict once and for all."Crowley, however, reiterated at the press briefing that the US government had no intention of meeting Hamas representatives, after a Wall Street Journal report on Friday that several high-profile former US officials, some with close ties to the Obama administration, met with Hamas leaders in recent months, raising hopes inside Hamas, according to the paper, that its views were being heard at the White House.Last summer in Zurich, Thomas Pickering, a former US ambassador to Israel and Jordan, and Rob Malley, a top Mideast adviser to president Bill Clinton and foreign policy adviser to Obama during his presidential campaign, met with Hamas "Foreign Minister" Mahmoud Zahar and Osama Hamdan, Hamas's top official in Lebanon, the report stated.Also according to the story, US diplomat Rachel Schneller, on sabbatical from the State Department and currently at the Council of Foreign Relations, met with Hamdan in Doha last month for a debate sponsored by Al-Jazeera.The Journal quoted Schneller as saying she had alerted the State Department and received approval.

DEFINITION of 'Profit Range'
A range of prices that an underlying security can possess in order for an investment strategy to be profitable. For some strategies, the position taken will have two break-even points. The range between these two points serves as the profit range for the strategy.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Profit Range'
When designing a strategy, the profit range is a useful metric for investors when they compare it to the volatility of the underlying asset. It allows investors to match profit ranges with appropriate volatilities. Large ranges should be used with high volatility assets and vice versa. A mismatch of volatility and profit range tends to lead to a loss on the position.

No enterprise can be complacent and not engage in the digital economy. Learn how to be the disruptor and not the disruptee.

New Benga Track
Addictive little beat
This is an example of more "heavy" dubstep done right
I remember spending 3 hours in a tent on a magical island in hungary aurally devouring and and orgasming over 'Night'. Those were the days
This sure comes a long way from his older stuff...
Such as?
Diary of an Afro Warrior sounded more laid-back than this, you have to admit that. And I don't necessarrily mean it's bad or anything, just different.
Not all of Diary is laid back, and I wouldn't call the difference between the two "coming a long way"
And if you want to talk about Benga's older stuff:
Well, I've only heard tracks around the time of Diary, so I guess I'll shut up ;)
But that Skank track is kinda chill though...
Well it is from 2002
I likes it.
Deviant thread.
This is actually pretty decent, as you said, 'heavy' dubstep done right. Cool video as well.
Never give an opinion on dubstep when Deviant is around, he won't stand for it
It'll be even better on the album I imagine as I gather this is simply the "radio" version
Mega disappointed by the video. Saw dancers in white masks and was like Jabbawockeez fuck yeah. It was not the Jabbawockeez.
But I liked that song more than Benga's other stuff.
How about this then?
Great song
Yeah I've seen that one. One of my mates is a dancer and I showed it to him and he went nuts. So awesome.
The WUB WUB WUBSIES aren't going to think it's filthy enough. Personally, I think it sounds great.
This is actually a pretty cool track. He doesn't abuse the wobble factor too much. Good for him.
If by not much wobble you mean none at all then yeah, I agree
it's alright
Digging: Jakob - Sines
aw man wtf this isn't lou bega
^I thought the same thing and was disappointed to find out it wasn't.
im feelin this one
Nice, ive been digging benga hard lately. This is a cool track
Like this alot.

Para hacer rollos de arroz
Not really tasty.
Posted by 5419326685802822066 on Aug 14, 2012
It was my first time purchasing RAW nori.
I've tried many noris since I live in Japan, but wanted to have raw nori because I've started raw food diet.
I actually tried some raw noris before in raw food restaurants and some other places, but I think they tasted better than these. However, I trust this product for its quality. I might try other kinds next time.

MetaBody Yoga & Fitness PassRead MoreWhen Roald Dahl wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, he imagined a much-coveted golden ticket that granted access to myriad wonders and unveiled the inner workings of an entire industry. MetaBody created a real-life version of that ticket with the MetaBody Yoga & Fitness Pass, though it applies to fitness instead of candy. The pass grants access not to a single gym but to classes at a variety of local studios, specializing in everything from yoga to boot camp. With the freedom to move from location to location, students can sample different regimens, instructors, and styles of exercise to cobble together a program that fits their needs and goals.

LDT FitnessRead MoreZumba is one of the peppiest fitness options on the schedule. Read on to learn a little about where it comes from. Zumba: A Fitness Style on the Move Because of its tendency to dissolve inhibitions by the time the beat sets in, Zumba has been deemed "exercise in disguise" by instructors in both The Huffington Post and USA Today. The dance-fitness program—now a mainstay in thousands of gyms worldwide—syncs basic dance steps and calisthenics to upbeat music, often drawing upon Latin styles such as merengue, salsa, and flamenco. Certified instructors demonstrate each piece of choreography at the front of the room, motivating participants to groove at their own pace and add creative flairs as they see fit. The program currently branches off into eight variations, including Zumbatomic for children, and Zumba Toning for exercisers who wish to incorporate strength-training elements. Zumba got its start in Colombia in the mid-1990s, the brainchild of fitness instructor Alberto "Beto" Perez. According to Reuters, Beto initially wanted to name it Rumba—a Spanish word that can translate to party—but swapped in the Z when he found his first choice was trademarked. Today, Beto keeps up with the constantly changing musical culture by arranging new routines for his vast network of instructors every two months, incorporating newer styles such as hip-hop and reggaeton and enlisting artists such as Pitbull and Wyclef Jean to record Zumba-specific tracks.10890 E Dartmouth Avenue, Units J & K,Denver, CO US
OMG Fitness ConcertRead MoreExercising in the dark is typically a recipe for bruises. However, on one day of the year at the Denver Coliseum, the lights shut off, the music turns on, and the workout begins.

This year, the festivities kick off with a glow-in-the-dark obstacle course. Bright tires, stairs, and other pieces of obtrusive terrain, all of which are in keeping with the theme "Neon Everything," stand between challengers and the finish line. Next is a LesMills Body Combat course led by onstage instructors. As they guide the group through strikes from martial arts such as tae kwan do and kickboxing, invigorating music follows the pace of the action. Lastly, a jungle-themed Zumba session teaches participants to groove to a celebratory cardio-dance routine. The event also hosts vendors of gym apparel and accessories, enabling visitors to bring home a more practical memento than a vial of their own forehead sweat.4600 Humboldt StreetDenver, CO US

Cycling around Mt Taranaki has always been a dream for Bob Knox.
The New Plymouth man plans to fulfil it alongside a group from Parafed Taranaki who are training for the 150-kilometre Around Mt Taranaki Cycle Ride on January 12.
Parafed is an organisation that runs in association with Sport Taranaki.
Its aim is to inspire people with physical disabilities to achieve equality, excellence, and wellbeing through sport and recreation.
A few years ago, Mr Knox bought a bike with the intention of completing the event. However, in September 2010 he fell off a roof and ended up in Burwood Spinal Unit.
Now a paraplegic, Mr Knox said he sold his bike thinking his chances to compete in the race were over.
That was until he got talking to Sergeant George White, of New Plymouth, who encouraged him to get back on the bike.
Mr Knox said the event was a chance for him to keep his dream alive.
"It's a part of fulfilling something I wanted to do before my accident and in a way it's part of my recovery. It's about getting out of bed in the morning."
Joining Mr Knox is paralympian Nathan Smith, Stephen Hills, Shane Hall, Kirsty Fairhurst, Andrew Fleming and support riders Chris Williams and Mr White.
Parafed sport development officer Jake Mills said the event was a perfect opportunity for people to challenge themselves.
"We deal with physical disabilities and we want to get a range of disabilities together to ride together.
"We're just trying to promote equality, and if we can get more riders involved, that would be great," he said.
Event director Peter Bennett said entry numbers for the event were looking strong and he expected a better turnout than last year.
The Bone Collector category, which the Parafed team will compete in, was proving the most popular.
"That's our biggest growth area by far," he said.
A new four-rider time trial race is also set to be introduced this year and will be the only competitive aspect of the event.
"We're trying to create a bit of a competitive challenge with that one. We'd love to get businesses challenging other businesses."
Mr Bennett said he was thrilled to have Parafed Taranaki on board.
"This is something we love to see because they don't always get these opportunities all the time."
Mr Knox said there was no doubt he needed to pull finger with his training if he wanted to achieve his dream.
"I'm 62 years old so it's going to be a challenge. I went out with Kirsty the other day and she left me for dead.
"I'm going to have to get serious about it."

The governments of both the United States and the United Kingdom want a master key to everyone's digital life.
The senator was a legislative force against the invasive law, but most of the credit goes to the now-exiled whistleblower who revealed the government's massive and secret abuse of our privacy rights.
The top lawyer representing James Clapper, director of National Intelligence, said Clapper had "forgotten" about the NSA's massive spying program when he wrongly told Congress in 2013 that the government does not "wittingly" collect information about millions of Americans.
Angry over losing a ballot measure to label GMO foods, Oregon residents are urging Sen. Ron Wyden to say no to fast-tracking the TPP and the TTIP.
A proposal to give President Obama the power to sign two international trade deals without congressional oversight has commentators on the left and right fuming.
In an extraordinary development Thursday, the CIA director reversed months of angry public denials and apologized for the agency's past spying on staff of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Many legislators and campaigners are unsatisfied with the "watered-down" version of the anti-surveillance bill that passed the House of Representatives on Thursday.

I don't believe government officials when they say the National Security Agency's surveillance programs do not invade our privacy. The record suggests that you shouldn't believe them, either.

The mendacious national intelligence director who last month told NBC News that he gave the "least untruthful answer" in a March Senate hearing about the extent of government spying on U.S. citizens revised that assessment to "erroneous" Tuesday.

Having served in Congress for more than three decades—and in the upper chamber since 1996—Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden has established a reputation as one of the Senate's more serious and diligent members.
GlobalTradeWatch (CC BY-ND 2.0)
The Trans-Pacific Partnership, a U.S.-led free trade agreement that would exempt multinational corporations from having to comply with policies governing industry in signatory countries, looks set to be rammed into law without comment or notice from much of the American media.
Telling his colleagues he would "speak until I can no longer speak," Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., took to the Senate floor Wednesday to mount an old-school filibuster of John Brennan, President Obama's pick to head the Central Intelligence Agency.
Electronic Frontier Foundation (CC BY 2.0)
As the larger part of American culture seems ready to surrender its claim to privacy without question, organizations such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation are riding like Paul Revere through the digital Massachusetts night.
