PlayStation 4: a reconstruction from teasing

Yesterday, Sony has posted a strange video, or rather a teasing, showing some of its next home console and therefore the PlayStation 4. A very rhythmic and that showcases the artistic blur video, all with a large number of sequences chaining at a breakneck pace. Taking his courage in both hands, a user of Reddit decided to get their hands dirty and reassemble all the sequences in order to proceed with the recovery console. The result is quite interesting and it finally gives us a good idea of what the PS4 could look like. The image is of course later in the article.

It must be admitted, the teaser released by Sony yesterday did not lack pace. Not really, in fact, and the video has aligned twenty sequences of very short duration, sequences focusing on some of the "pieces" of the console. I also made ​​some history you facilitate reading catches the past are available at this address, and it seems I'm not the only one who had the idea.

Proof of this is some-Albino Zebra did exactly the same thing as me, but he has shown a little more courageous than your humble servant since decided to assemble these images to determine the general lines of the console. After many hours of tinkering, he managed to get a result and thus supposed to represent the famous console that has caused so much ink since the beginning of the year picture.

PlayStation 4: towards more angular curves?

It is of course very difficult to know if this image is reality, only a privileged few should know at the moment, but it is not inconsistent. In fact, the reconstructed image on console quite like a PlayStation 3, but with a more angular shell and that showcases the metal. All with a number of premium ventilation grilles.

As to whether it is actually the PlayStation 4, well only time will tell. At last, it is actually question Sony unveils its new console during E3 2013, and it will have to wait next month to be fixed.

Flickr: a new interface and more storage space

Flickr is not very young, he officiates in the industry since 2005 and brings something like 54 million unique visitors worldwide, all with more than 6 billion photos stored on its servers. Great, of course, but the guy is unfortunately stalled for some years now and so it is very difficult to stand up to newcomers like 500px. Yahoo, meanwhile, has decided to react by launching a new version of its flagship service. A new version available on all accounts from that night, and finally brings a lot of news.

Starting with a new interface. From that side, it must be admitted that the work did not fail because the interface flickr has not really changed in recent years. She was beginning to show its age , it really did not respect the expectations of the users of the platform and Yahoo engineers have decided to start again from scratch.

Although they took as the new Flickr interface is much nicer than the old one. The content is well developed and our pretty pictures will be much more impressive than they were before. Yahoo has also opted for a darker interface and this is obviously a good thing because the pictures that comes out more. However, what can be noted is that some elements of the old version tend to rise from time to time over the pages. By clicking on a photo, for example, the old interface back for a split second before disappearing swiftly. Worse, some items are broken and this is particularly true of the homepage that seems to load without CSS.

1TB for the new version of Flickr!

Strange, that's for sure, but no doubt that everything should quickly return to normal.

Among the new features to the service, there is this cover story that seems very fashionable at the moment. Just like Facebook and Twitter as well as Google+, Flickr will now allow us to change the coverage of our profile and we can stick him a pretty picture on the buttocks in order to show how we are all creative. Also in the same vein, Yahoo also announced news that should please all those with a free account on the service.

Which one?

Well this is a story of storage space, actually. Now, Flickr allow us to store as much as 1 TB of data without having to leave our credit card. Two subscription plans are yet in force: the phrase "Ad Free" without advertisement, charged $ 49.99 per year and the phrase "double" with 2TB of disk space charged $ 499.99 per year. With that, you should have plenty to do, even though we would all like to see land cheaper intermediate formulas.

So naturally, it is still too early to know if this new version will save the service, but it should all de same to please those who have remained faithful all these years, and have therefore not been look elsewhere.

Oh, and if not, know that a new version of the Android app also just landed the Play Store, a new version that provides exactly the same as the new web portal.

Nokia EOS information and a release date?

Nokia is in great shape right now, and this is apparently not about to change. Having formalized its Lumia 925 and Lumia 928, the company could actually get up very soon the veil on a new smartphone that we've heard a lot in recent weeks as it is ... the Nokia EOS. Nokia EOS entirely designed for photography and resumes broadly the same technical specifications as the Nokia 808 PureView, at least in terms of the sensor. Interesting, for sure, but there are better since secret informant WMPoweruser have had the opportunity to play with the beast. Needless to say, he took the opportunity to note some of the characteristics of the EOS...

Before going further, it is important to note that all the information is absolutely not come from an official source, so it is better to take with the utmost of prudence. As always it comes to rumors, and even when these are not accompanied by any evidence, or even a single index. This is precisely the case with this new corridor noise, of course.

In short, according to this anonymous informant, the Nokia EOS resume the same lines as the Nokia Lumia 920 with a polycarbonate shell and a similar screen, a 4.5-inch AMOLED screen if my memory does not fail me. However, it is sufficient to return the terminal to realize that it has absolutely nothing to do with his distant cousin. Nokia EOS have a little overweight at the sensor, a sensor which we unfortunately do not know the number of megapixels because it was not shown in the tested prototype our mysterious friend.

Nokia EOS just for the photo, of course!

However, it noted a lot of interesting details. It would appear that the Nokia EOS enjoys a Xeon flash and optical a little more discreet than the Nokia 808 PureView. Just off the flash, there would also be a small LED that could - should note the conditional - when the autofocus assist light is missing.

Another interesting point is the Nokia EOS embarks a new application called Nokia Camera Pro, an application that would benefit from a unique interface allowing the user to indulge in the joys of manual map. How? That's a good question, but it will wait for the mobile hand knowledge.

Besides that, WMPoweruser has further information on the Nokia EOS, information that comes from a different source. It would thus not be available in several colors and will not support either the wireless charging. Note finally that the EOS Nokia should normally be submitted by the manufacturer somewhere between the months of July and August, so it will not stay very long to wait to know everything about it.

Pinterest: more information to the content pinned

Pinterest going strong. Late last year, the famous social network and totaled 20 million users, an increase of 2702% compared to the previous year. However, the company does not want to rest on its laurels and it thus has consistently deploy new features. After the new interface and arrival statistics , thus the sharing module which now enjoys some significant improvements, improvements that affect mainly the information retrieved when a user pin content on one of his paintings edge. Pinterest is and wants to be more useful, more practical, and it might allow the service to attract new users.

Until now, when someone wanted to share content one of its panels, Pinterest was able to recover only the media of the associated page. The user, in turn, still had the option to add a description, but it is unfortunately not going much further.

Soon, things will be very different and the team in charge of Pinterest is thus working on a new module sharing friendlier and especially much more comprehensive. Available for certain content, it can recover a bit more elements then the display directly on our dashboards. In the case of a film, for example, is the complete and other information related to movies that are uploaded by the casting tool. Same for recipes, where we have this time right ingredients and all associated details. Shopping sites will not be outdone and it's downright price and date of availability of our products to be well recovered by the module.

Towards "rich pine" button and compatible with mobile applications

Not bad, of course, but know however that these new sharing options are not yet available everywhere. It thus seems that we can not still enjoy in Europe and only some sites would test this new tool , sites like Etsy, Netflix and others. However, for those interested, Pinterest has posted on this page a complete documentation on these "rich pine."

In addition to this new, Pinterest has also announced that it implemented a new share button designed and developed for our mobile applications. Again, only a few applications can take advantage of the moment but this novelty should be rapidly extended to most of the mobile applications market. Morality, if you do intensive use of Pinterest, then something tells me that you must be very happy.
