Rumors of a "budget iPhone" feel like they’ve been swirling around the Internet for ages, but it’ll still be a while before we know if they’re real. If they are though, we hope they look as jaw-droppingly awesome as these renders.
Sony’s four pillar approach to game publishing on PlayStation 4 aims to level the playing field
Posted in: Today's ChiliSony’s already said that it’s making game publishing on PlayStation 4 even easier than it is on the PlayStation 3, but Senior Account Manager of Development at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Agostino Simonetta today explained exactly what that means. Sony’s apparently applying a “four pillar” approach to publishing, as follows:
- “Every developer is a publisher”
- “Equality of opportunity”
- “Personal relationship”
- “No hurdles, just games”
It’s this multi-tiered approach that Sony believes will attract developers to the PlayStation 4. “Every single developer is a publisher, as far as we’re concerned. We don’t separate, we don’t segregate indies from traditional publishers,” Simonetta said, in reference to the current console generation’s “segregation” of indie (primarily digital) games from more traditional publishers (primarily disc-based). More specifically, individual devs can work with Sony one-on-one to establish promotions and other details. Perhaps most importantly, all developers will hear back on publishing approval within one week from Sony. Head to the source link below for more details from Simonetta, straight out of the annual Develop conference.

ABB to build over 200 EV charging stations in the Netherlands’ largest network
Posted in: Today's ChiliSwiss company ABB has been chosen by Fastned to provide chargers for over 200 EV charging stations throughout the Netherlands, in what will be that nation’s largest such network. The largely solar-fueled stations will be spaced out along Dutch highways at a maximum distance of 50 kilometers from each other. Fastned will be using ABB’s Terra fast chargers, which are compatible with a large number of vehicles, including “all major car brands from Europe, Asia and the USA.” Each charger will also be connected to the internet, allowing ABB to push software updates and provide customers with remote assistance. The first batch of chargers will land roadside in September with rollout expected to be completed in 2015. There’s one more image and video after the break.
