THE SONY TALE OF WOE

Well it seems like my old favorite brand which became a not trusted brand are too predict bad news as regards their takings.

I do not know what idiot took charge of Sony but an idiot they are add they, or he/she, had been warned over and over again and even by me on occasion.

However this could be a problem whereby either the receivers of warning said warnings are either idiots our have no care about the company they work for? I say this because there is no chain of communication and there are some things received that is above their pay grade and should go up the hierarchy?

Put simply it does not and the options to open up a line of communication is held back or hidden! Even when you do find it you do not get the courtesy of a response! Though this last dig was more a habit of Nikon Japan. Obviously think they are too good for mere mortals? Well either that or I scared the living bejesus out of them?

Back to Sony. Falling sales of Blu-Ray discs? As always Sony and no doubt been told by others the pricing is to expensive and all over the bloody shop! Though this could be partly down to greedy movie studios, like Disney for one?! I find it quite unpalatable that they over price kids movies and keep them up for lengthy periods! Also target odd is how certain movies disappear from shelves for months on end before reappearing and still the same price they were two years before?!

As for your TVs? Until now, crap, bland and over priced!

Your attitude and skullduggery with your PlayStation OS I am amazed has not lead to you losing sales there?! But then you have two choices of a rock and a hard place, with Microsoft! Lol!

Your VAIO range used to be nice only now the whole range had to big a premium even the really crap laptops?! Over two thousand pounds for a small laptop just because it has a carbon case?! You obviously think the public ate fools that somehow managed to acquire more money than the sense they possessed?! Yeah like that was ever going to work! That price did not include the several add-ons like a box with the graphics chip in and an optical disc. No doubt the times the price of standard ones?! Lol!

Hmm now let's move onto music?! Your Walkmans of recent years have all been abysmal but to the muted sound volume! But to be fair you probably ate not alone on this depending on the location of the moron that decided on this? Even so that still does not excuse the premium prices once again on the extra memory and nor does it excuse the extremely bland styling!

If you have doubt's over that, Mr Idiot Sony Executive, then I can tell you I bought a second hand version of your A Series Walkman because not only was it about the only stylish thing you have produced outside of two over expensive laptops but it's replacement was BUTT UGLY! LOL!

I could have purchased a brands new Walkman for little more than I paid for the one I have!

If I thought about it long enough and searched my older memory banks I could probably come up with quite a few things. I won't mention that their Cell Processor was not the super chip it was supposed to be? I could state I heard it was a pain in the arse to code for? I could state about how they snoop on what you do with your PlayStation and then punish you for buying a second hand PlayStation that was previously Jail-broken?! The fact that you bought this in a high street store and paid VAT on it does not really count for anything. Your buggered and should have realised it was previous jail broken and reset back to normal before it was flogged to a store and then flogged to you?! Yes there must be a kit or sensor device you can buy? No?! Are you sure?! Because Sony already have the software to detect it and you would think they would release it as an App for your Sony phone so you can tell ... LMAO, sorry I just cannot keep that up!

I really could go into a whole reel like that for just about everyone I have battled with! I could be very sarcastic and can continue along like that for some time!!

Hmm maybe I could create a series like that?! I would have to spend a long time with dynamically growing lists of their foibles and idiosyncrasies and then write a monologued piece fur each one just based on sarcasm ... Oh OK taking the right royal piss then?! LOL!

I will have to see! I would have to make sure there was a continuous flow from one thing to another and it would have to be damn funny from one sarcastic line into the next!

For instance I find it strange that front line staff in public offices like councils look down their noses at you because your not in overpaid work for sitting on your fat arse taking for fecking ever and a fecking day to do everything and anything, too?!

Lmao!

PS4 & XBOX 720 REVELATIONS

Not my rumours you understand but those of others and along with comments I have seen made by some that were wrong and a bit silly but I will just run through what I understand at present, before diving in a bit deeper.

As far as I am aware both consoles, Sony PS4 and XBOX 720, are going to be remarkably similar in their chips and power.

As far as I know there is talk of 8 cores in the CPU side and AMD Radeon at least for the PS4 but what I cannot fathom for sure is exactly what the GPU specifics are because everyone is speaking about the CPU like it is a single 8 core unit and they call it Jaguar. As far as I know the only 8 core CPUs that AMD produce are BULLDOZER, PILEDRIVER and the next iteration is STEAMROLLER between late 2013 and early 2014!

SO what is this other EIGHT CORE CPU?

Well I would wager that if it IS eight cores then they are using TWO CPUs?!

If so then the graphics chip version everyone is talking about may actually have TWO?!

I say this because I have seen many people disappointed while others reply to that disappointment by pointing out quite correctly that the PC is built VERY differently and that it has to cater for a hungry horse of a Windows OS and many other programs, stand alone or background, simultaneously.

The odd thing is I had long thought that the sensible route for both the PS4 and the XBOX would be the dual APU route. Lower power, twice the graphics and proper x86 cores all developers are familiar with. You know it makes sense?! Now I wonder if that is indeed they route they have taken.

Now this leads me onto the other thing that has disappointed people in that they have stated that they can get more graphical power from a PC?! Umm well that has always been the case when these things are released mate! But it never seemed that way because PC games players are short changed by the game developers and I really DO mean that. PORTING is a lazy and greedy way out. It is almost like selling only square pegs to everyone despite whether or not they have square or round holes...ALMOST.

No what happens is that when the new consoles and games come out, and largely what i have been waiting for for over a year now, is that then these games show us PC users, or at  least those of us with the knowledge, exactly what the SLI system we have now owned for a year is capable of?! Well maybe owned a few months unless you are water cooling, lol.

No so I think when launched and tested along with a handful of games I think it will be no different to all other launches and wow factors, I really do and then I and other PC gamers will be salivating and eyeing up that dinghy to wade through our gooey living rooms wondering when these titles, and other developers, get their releases out to us?! Funny they always talk about how can they are and want to push the envelope of the technology but they do not really. Or at least a VERY tiny fraction of games developers do with Bethesda being, or at least so it appears, being the only one I can think of.

Then I go and get bloody annoyed with them and email them tearing crap from them because I put up videos up of me playing parts of Skyrim, which is currently frustrating to achieve, more so to upload and then I am told off for monetizing the video, so people clicking on adverts I get tiny payments for and they do not like it?! Jesus Christ man sort out your god damn copyright and stop appearing to be run by a bunch of blood sucking vampires bleeding people for money for the same old thing over and over again....or lawyers, lol.

If I do a video of me gardening I do not have to pay Draper, or me using Office i do not have to pay Microsoft, or me using laptop I do not have to pay HP. You get free advertising of your product, especially as I show laptop users what they can and cannot get away with and I get refused permission?!

Well let us see how that pans out for you?! lol.

I digress...I do that a lot!

Anyway I now am very keen to see these things launched and even pictures of thie things would be nice despite me not going to buy one and never owning one, except a PSP when it launched. It is interesting to see the designs and you never know they just might bring out something and with such a fabulous design, well yes they have been crap up until now and really should take a gander at the dozens concept designs from fans out there as their are some damn good one, that will make me want to buy one?!

Possibly?

So the rest of 2013 is going to be very interesting in this field indeed...

I WILL build a new RIG

PS4 and XBOX 720 launches with all next gen gaming titles...

AMD Steamroller I would wager appears September or October

Radeon HD 8970 and nVidia Geforce 780 graphics cards should be out too

Leap Motion (Motion Control 1000s time better than KINECT?!)

Vuse Eye Glass Mobile Headset


You know along with other things I have going on from this coming week up until May this year ad with everything else on the other blogs I have having their own developments I may just ... EXPLODE with EXCITEMENT during 2013.

Ooh that 13 ... will that number actually go and do it again?!?!

LMAO...
