Sony has taken the wraps off its slimmer version of its gaming console, the PlayStation 3 at the Tokyo Game Show Wednesday, which is 20% smaller and 25% lighter than the current slim model, reducing it in size but increasing its price tag in the United States.

It will available in two versions: black and white, with either 250GB or 500GB of storage memory. All the pricing details have not yet been announced, but a limited edition bundle, featuring the 250GB black PS3. But The Verge summarizes the somewhat confusing international launch dates and prices:

In North America the 250GB console will be available September 25th and be priced at $269. The 500GB version will be available on October 30th for $299. In PAL territories there will be a PlayStation 3 with 12GB of flash memory available on October 12th for 229 Euros. The 500GB console will be available for the same price on September 28th. In Japan the 250GB will sell for 24,900 Yen and the 500GB will sell for 29,800 Yen, both available October 4th.

Sony also said that its “PS Plus” premium online service will be coming to PlayStation Vita in November. Sony does seem to realize that they’ve essentially saturated the market with PlayStation 3 consoles. They’re targeting the few individuals that don’t already have a PS3 as well as the select few that desperately want an extra PlayStation 3, yet were held back by its ungainly weight.

Was the weight or size the sticking point for those who haven’t picked up a PlayStation 3 yet. We’re not convinced, especially as many gamers are gearing up for the next generation of consoles.

Google on Monday announced a new version of its Android operating system – Android 4.2, which is a minor update to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). Here are the amazing features of Android 4.2 which will add a new flavor to your device.

Adding an entirely new photo experience called “Photo Sphere” which will allow you to snap photos in every direction, yeah! in 360-degrees panorama pictures, which are similar to the shots shown in Google’s Street View feature in its online maps. You can add these high-resolution photos to Google Maps as well.

The very new exciting feature anticipates what words a user wants to enter as they are typing. The guesses are based on an analysis of typical sentence structures and users’ past entries. Just swipe your fingers over the word and it will predict your next word for super-fast “typing”. With this the dictionary has also been improved, “more accurate and relevant”.

This feature is only available for tablets as per now. This new feature on Android 4.2 supports multiple users, which means multiple users can share a tablet and everyone can have their own customized UI, background, widgets, emails, apps and games. You need not to log out or log in for switching up the accounts – only that you go back to your lock screen: simple! So, now you can easily share your tablet with the kids to keep them entertain without loosing your settings.

Android 4.2 adds wireless display to your device, Now you can share multimedia content from your phone to your television. You just need a wireless display adapter to your HDMI-enabled TV – but after that, you’re set, and can send videos or photos or whatever to your big screen.

Android 4.2 “Daydream feature” lets your Android device display useful information when idle or docked. It shows off your photo albums, get the latest news from Google Currents, and more. This effectively being a screen saver that shows photo albums, news from Google Currents, or weather.

Android 4.2 includes the latest version of Google Now, which brings you the information you need, when and where you need it, before you even ask. Whether you’re in a train or looking for theater or restaurant, it tell you more information about flights, hotels, restaurant reservations, events, shipped packages, movies, concerts, stocks, developing and breaking news stories, and even nearby attractions and photo spots.

In Android 4.2 swiping down from the top of the screen brings up all your notifications. If you’re late for a meeting, this alert will be able to connect you to your contact with a simple call button. You can email everyone in the meeting tied to that update that you’re on your way – this being just one example of the many different situations you’ll be able to take action on.

I recently faced a problem of optimizing AdSense ads on my website, I take this opportunity to share with you some practical / useful links that have allowed me to arrive at double the rate of click (hence income) of the site. You will not find user manual for this simple reason because each site is different and have different look.
To begin with we need to understand the mode of Google AdSense, you can not reasonably get involved in the process of optimizing your ads without understanding basic operation of the system or know all of the tools at your disposal by the authority. Because ultimately, maximize its advertising revenue is first to arrive at the best choices in terms of locations, colors, sizes, etc.. and it is far from easy given the number of factors to consider.
Here are some key optimization to keep in mind:

• The locations of ads: You should always position your ads in “hot spots” of reading your site (i.e eye tracking ), advertisements located in the “cold spots” are ineffective. You also need to consider ways of reading popular depending on the situation (Blog, etc..).

In terms of positioning, here’s what it means:


• The format of the ads: The more formats the best results (more diversity ads, better display, etc..). You can (should) however complete your ads with different formats and additional annexes (as such formats unexpected type thematic links can achieve very interesting results).



• Type of ads: Google is competing advertisers via an auction system, and this competition is much greater on type ads shown. Should therefore take advantage of this system (where feasible visually), opting often as possible for the type of ad text and image (and you will have a wider range of ads to display, thus a better earning potential)

• The integration of ad design: There are 3 different techniques. Harmonization (pubs is to drown in the content – probably the most technical praised by broadcasters), complementarity (color advertisements in a complementary range), contrast (it is playing on contrasts to highlight the pubs – I personally find this technique difficult to implement and therefore more or less irrelevant).

• Patience: It is advisable to keep your online ads for a period of at least two weeks (one week may be sufficient) to compare the effectiveness of different criteria used via the evolution of click-through rate and the eCPM.

• Targeting by location: According to information gathered during a webinar on the topic Google France, it is quite interesting to define locations for its various advertising blocks. This gives the advertiser a very precise targeting additional appreciation, competition among advertisers is at the same time even stronger, which ensures the diffuser higher pay.

• Contextual Targeting and integration into the source code: The Google Adsense advertisements are broadcast automatically according to the universe semantic on the site, and the most profitable ads always appear in the first ad unit on a page. It is therefore essential to ensure that the advertising block is the main source code first. It is also possible to directly specify what the robot AdSense text boxes should be primarily taken into account.

• Filtering ads: First of all to prevent the display of ads on your site competitors this tool must be used to prevent the display of ads from sites Made For Adsense can truly fill your income. (Info + list: Use the filter to increase AdSense revenue – in English)

• Think of complementary products: Think of complementary products to Google Google type searches for videos, stream … depending on the circumstances it can be very interesting.

• Follow the rules / pay attention: Last point a bit more mundane but important: respect the rules (e.g max 3 ad units per page…) and stay tuned to different developments. It could be new opportunities for lucrative remuneration or updates needed to do to stay in line with regulations.

1. The first thing to do is to be very interested in the success of your business. Trust in yourself and believe in what you do you will go far. A glance out of your site / blog or your ads will have to judge if you’re serious or not. If you give the impression of not being really honest with your product, why would they?

2. Internet marketing is neither difficult nor very simple and there is a formula that works for each site, for you to find. A good idea is to find someone who has an online business that works well and ask him to be your mentor. This person will show you the ropes and help you succeed. Since he himself successful, he undoubtedly knows whereof he speaks.

3. SEO techniques (Search Engine Optimization) are very popular and serve to better position in search engine results pages of your website. There are various techniques, good and bad so if you do not know how to do it yourself, it would be better to hire a company whose job it is. This can be quite expensive but if the results are there, it’s worth …

4. Keep an eye on the competition. See the strategies they use, it should give you some ideas. Obviously there is no question of stealing their ideas, but you can use tactics that seem to provide excellent results.

5. You must remember to be unique. Do everything you can to stand out, otherwise no one will notice you and you may have to say goodbye to your business.

These tips are relatively simple but well help to promote your business. So, use them to make your internet marketing strategy a success.
