PlayStation 4 and Xbox 720 will be Lunched in 2012

Microsoft is actively working on a new home console, planning to show it off at E3, with integrated Kinect, more capabilities for media playback and a full digital distribution solution.

Similarly Sony is thought to be in the initial planning phase for the PlayStation 4, with plans to unveil it later during the year, perhaps at the Tokyo Games Show or Gamescom.

Sony is working on an upgrade for the PlayStation 3, with the Move built in and with support for three-dimensional games included. 

Both Microsoft and Sony are playing hide-and-seek with the player base and the observers of the industry about whether they plan to announce or introduce new hardware during this year.

How does It Effect Gaming World

A new generation of gaming hardware means that almost all developers and publishers enter a period of turmoil, learning to work with the new technology that is introduced and with the extra features (think touch screen, motion tracking and other attachments). This is both a threat and an opportunity for the average gamer.

What are YouTube Content Ratings?

What are YouTube Content Ratings? 

When a partner uploads a show or movie that does not have an official content rating (i.e. MPAA or TV rating), we ask that the content owner rate any mature content in these five categories:Language, Nudity, Sexual Situations, Violence and Drug Use.

Each of these categories has three levels that the uploader can select when uploading. To make it easier to understand these ratings we note the different levels with distinct colors. 

• GREEN represents no mature content
• YELLOW represents mild mature content
• RED represents mature content and will be restricted to viewers 18 and older

The rating descriptions are as follows: 

Language :

• No strong language : GREEN
  
  Content rated No strong language should be free of any strong, coarse, or other potentially offensive language. Even mild cursing such as "hell" and "damn" or words that are bleeped should be rated as L or L+.
• L : Strong language : YELLOW | L
  Content rated L may contain some expletives and profanity; however such words should be infrequent and not used in a sexual context. Content with expletives and profanity that have been bleeped should be rated L as well. An L may also indicate suggestive dialog, sexual innuendo, or other discussion of adult themes. Other L-rated speech may include the expression of strong views and opinions that viewers are likely to find offensive, disrespectful, or otherwise controversial.
• L+ : Explicit language : RED | L+
  Content rated L+ may contain persistent use of expletives and profanity. It may also include coarse and vulgar dialogue that is sexually explicit.

Conversation with God

Me : God, can I ask You a question?

God : Sure

Me : Promise You won't get mad…..

God : I promise

Me : Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?

God : What do you mean?

Me : Well, I woke up late

God : Yes

Me : My car took forever to start

God : Okay

Me : at lunch they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait

God  : Hmmmmm

Me : On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call

God : All right

Me : And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager and relax. But it would not work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?

God : Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning and I had to send one of my angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that

Me (humbled) : OH

God : I did not let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.

Me : (ashamed)

God : The first person who made your sandwich today was sick and I did not want you to catch what they have, I knew you could not afford to miss work.

Me (embarrassed) : Okay

God : Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I did not even let you talk to them so you would be covered.

Me (softly) : I see God

God : Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I did not think you wanted to be in the dark.

Me : I'm Sorry God

God : Don't be sorry, just learn to trust Me.... in All things , the Good and the bad.

Me : I will trust You.

God : And don't doubt that My plan for your day is always better than your plan.

Me : I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.

God : You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I love looking after my children...
