Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
The fierce dispute between The New York Times and the CEO of Tesla Motors over the merits of its electric car is remarkable for what it says about how we argue in a time of seemingly limitless information.
Angelenos have been very busy this past week uploading their own takes of the “Harlem Shake” meme to YouTube. Workplaces from Power 106 to mayoral candidate Emanuel Pleitez’s campaign are letting loose to the catchy Baauer tune. University kids are also repping: you’ll find UCLA, USC, Chapman University, Cal Poly Pomona, LA Film School and Cal State Los Angeles in the Harlem Shake slideshow below.
But what exactly is the Harlem Shake? Well, officially it’s a dance move that involves “involves pivoting the shoulder out while popping the other shoulder out at the same time,” according to site Know Your Meme. But these Harlem Shake videos are so much more than that. They all start with someone in a mask dancing alone in a room full of people. But when the beat drops, everyone joins in with their own wacky costumes and dance moves — preferably with a lot of hip thrusts.
Angelenos did it everywhere: on the Metro, on a helicopter landing pad, on fountains, at the gym and in their apartments. And in case you feel a little late to the party, check out these Harlem Shake videos that “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report” debuted last night. Yes, Harlem Shake probably already peaked but hey — it’s better than any more “Gangnam Style” parodies.

Rumors of Sony’s next-gen PlayStation 4 have certainly been gaining some traction, and according to a report from The Wall Street Journal, it seems that it is possible that we can expect the PlayStation 4 to be able to stream PlayStation 3 games, as well as play new PlayStation 4 games via optical disk. “The new technology, to be unveiled Wednesday along with the new console, will allow users to play games delivered over the Internet, these people said. The streaming service, they added, is designed to use current PlayStation 3 titles on the new console; the new device is also expected to play new games stored on optical discs.”
This notion isn’t completely ludicrous because if you recall, back in 2012 Sony acquired online gaming company Gaikai, so for them leverage Gaikai’s services for its upcoming PlayStation 4 would not be a stretch of the imagination. That along with a recent rumor suggesting that the next-gen PlayStation will be focusing more on its playing options rather than merely hardware would certainly support this latest report. We’re not 100% sure how Sony plans to implement this, but it is definitely worth taking note at least for now. Sony will be holding an event on the 20th of February, so be sure to check back with us then for the details.

Back on January 15, Google announced that it would be holding two Google Glass events for developers who had pre-ordered the device at its I/O conference. The events were held in New York City and San Francisco on January 28/29 and February 1/2. The participants were sworn to secrecy, and so no details have emerged from the events. Google has decided to show off the goods, however, by releasing a variety of pictures, which you can check out after the jump.
The pictures were released on the Google Developers’ Google+ account, along with a bit of information about the Glass Foundry events. Those who attended spent the first day of the event receiving an introduction to Glass and getting a device to use. Following this, the attendees were then presented with the Mirror API, after which point they went on to working on their developments.
Says Google, the developers were split into teams, which then went on to create more than 80 uses for Glass. On the second day, the developers had an opportunity to demonstrate their creations to a panel of special judges. Those who participated received a glass piece titled “pioneer,” signifying their involvement in the pioneering of the technology.
Of the teams that demonstrated their creations, eight were awarded the grand prize, with Google funding the cost of their Glass Explorer Edition. Says Google, it hopes to host more Glass Foundry events in the future, although it hasn’t committed to anything. Check out the gallery below to get a peek at the pioneers hard at work.

We’re just a few days away from Sony’s February 20th “see the future of” PlayStation event where we expect to see the next edition of its home console, and the rumor mill is buzzing. The latest one tonight comes from the Wall Street Journal, with a report that connects Sony’s $380 million purchase of cloud gaming service Gaikai last year with a method to provide backwards compatibility on the PlayStation 4. The WSJ reports Sony has been “investing heavily” in preparing Gaikai for an influx of PS4-equipped gamers, while also developing better cameras for its Move and the DualShock+touchpad controllers we’ve seen recently.
What’s not revealed, however, is any potential pricing plan, or whether cloud games will work using existing cloud saves. While buying fully digital copies of games we already own is less than appealing, if Sony can implement something like the abandoned UMD-to-PSP Go “good will” plan, then there may be benefits for all. In the last gen Sony used hardware, then software and then nothing at all for backwards compatible gaming, while Microsoft went all software — we’ll see how it balances out this time around.
