Take a sneak peek at what is to come from Sony for the Playstation 4. We don’t learn how much it will be, how it will look, what the new features are, BUT we get a look into who has a part in the development of the new system. Below we have available pictures of the controller for the PS4. You can check those out after the jump.

Incase has been best known for having some very nice cases for iPhone, iPods, and iPads. In addition, now you can purchase headphones to go with you case. Introducing the Incase Audio Collection. Available now with prices ranging from $49.94 to $149.95.
Earlier today, the new iOS was revealed. The new iOS has over 200 new updates. We have the iOS 6 hands on video preview below. The following can be found with the new operating system:
This is a big one. Just as Twitter received a big boost with its deep integration with iOS 5, Facebook will get the same treatment in iOS 6.
Users can login to their Facebook account in iOS 6 and have instant access to Facebook in apps, the web browser and Siri. Developers can also easily add access within their apps.
Facebook contacts will get integrated in iOS 6, but for us, the bigger news is that events and birthdays can also sync with the calendar.
In the phone app, Apple has added a new mode that will make it easy for users to remind themselves to call or text-back later, if they can’t take a call right now.
There is also a “Do Not Disturb” mode. Messages will still come to your phone, but the screen won’t light up or make any noise. There are also new ways to group contacts and control how their calls are handled.
FaceTime Over Cellular
Look out Skype, FaceTime will now work over cellular connections. Even better, if someone calls your phone, you can choose to answer on your iPad or Mac.
Safari is getting offline reading lists, making the feature more Instapaper-like. These lists will also sync with the Reading List in Safari for OS X.
Another new feature is the ability to add “App Banners” to a website. This allows developers to easily show-off their native app. Users can touch the banner to get the app — and if, the app is installed, they can go directly to the app and open it up in the right place.
Users can now share groups of photos to their friends over iCloud. Think of this as a cross between Glassboard and Path, but just for your photos.
Users can comment on photos too.
There is a new VIP feature that will highlight mail from people you really want to hear from. I get way too much email, so I love this feature.
Apple is also adding the ability to open password-locked documents in mail and pull-to-refresh for messages.
Think of this as an app that replicates the loyalty card tracker from Google Wallet. It collects all of your loyalty cards, ticket information and other info into one neat place for easy access. Even better, it’s location-enabled so it knows what to show based on where you are (so you can get your movie tickets at the theater or your plane ticket at the airport).
Passbook looks great.
Another big one. Apple is making good on some of its mapping acquisitions and launching its own mapping app.
The new Apple Maps integrates with Yelp. Apple is also building its own traffic service that can offer anonymous, crowd-sourced and real-time incident reports.
Moreover, Apple is bringing turn-by-turn navigation to the iPhone. It’s vector-based and voiced by Siri. Say goodbye to your TomTom and just use your iPhone!
From the on-stage demo, it looks like the level of detail on the maps and places is intense — and the rendering happens super-fast.
iOS 6′s Maps app will also highlight developer mapping apps inside the app, pointing out the best transit apps in the app store.

Madden 13 is set to drop August 28th. Check out the trailer from Ray Lewis and its new features.
“This year’s cover athlete is Detroit Lions’ wide receiver Calvin Johnson, Jr., but that’s just the beginning of the news. The smooth-looking, new Madden title offers a new game engine and animations, including what they call the Infinity engine, offering a countless combination of animations, so no plays will ever look the same; and making it so there are no longer any pre-determined outcomes during gameplay from tackles to catches, to defense, to run plays.”

I will be whooping ass and taking names in this game. Beware.
Introducing the Armor Series from OtterBox. The next best thing that I’ve seen remotely close to this was the Tank iPhone case by Casemate. It was suppose to be the toughest case out, but eventually it started to break down. I definitely want to get my hands on this case from OtterBox and put it to the test.
“From extreme play to harsh work environments, this intense waterproof iPhone case from OtterBox outperforms what was ever thought possible for a smartphone. Case closed.”
Here we have a look at the new Halo, with a trailer, pics, and actual gameplay.
