Isaiah's Tech

Pioneer has now left the plasma TV manufacturing business. Pioneer got hit by the economic crisis and just couldn't get back on their feet again.

It looks like Intel may be working with Sony for the next Playstation 4. Who knows when the Playstation 4 will be released, but that's not what i'll be talking about here. Intel is going to be working on the PS4's GPU and may also be developing the PS4's CPU as well. Intel really has their eyes set on the PS4 and they may even be willing to throw in a lot of money towards their Larrabee and Nehalem products. The Playstation 4 is said to be have a "10-year life span." Will the Playstation 4 extend this? Maybe to 13 years?

My estimations were correct about the Playstation 3. The good ol' Playstation 3 price cut will be coming around March. It is said be to in April. In March, Sony will finally be making profit with the Playstation 3, but with the price cut in April, they will be losing money again. Sony will then ship the Playstation 3's with the newer 45nm Cell chip sometime after April and will be gaining profit for the rest of 2009. These are speculations, but they sound correct.

These are only United States statistics. After passing Myspace in December 2008, Facebook is now an estimated 20% larger than Myspace. Facebook now earns 10 million more visitors a month than Myspace does. Another notable is Twitter, which is the thin green line at the bottom of the graph. You can only see it when you enlarge the graph. They're growth is expanding and it should hit the 10 million mark soon. The chances of it catching up to Facebook anytime soon (or ever) is unlikely.

You can now attach files or pictures to your Google Calendar events. This includes files from Google Documents and pictures from Picasa. The next subject that should be brought up is Google Eye-Tracking. Somehow Google's team is able to tell exactly where you are looking at on your monitor screen. Is that scary or what? All of this news about Google lately is really starting to scare me. First Google Health, now Google Eye-Tracking. I still love Google, but this is kind of weird. This information could be useful in a way, by detecting what people read and how they read it, stuff like that. Let's move along.

A couple of photos have leaked of a Samsung M7600. It has a design very similar to the Helio Ocean and will, reportedly, have a DJ scratching app. Yes, a DJ scratching app. It has a 3MP camera and a 2.8 inch AMOLED touchscreen. I'll dub it the DJ / rapper phone. Original, am i right?

Just hours after my post about the Kindle 2, the price and availability were leaked to the web. These aren't from the Amazon camp, so there is a possibility that this may not be true. Anyways, the Kindle 2 has a 'rumoured' price of $359 USD and will be available on February 24. The Kindle 2 looks much thinner and sleeker than the first Kindle.
