Hasta La Gadget!

Do you hear that? That’s the sound of livestreamers’ dreams shattering, as Twitch has decided to strip its directory of all shows that broadcast through the PlayStation 4’s Playroom. The decision comes shortly after the website started to crack down on PS4 streams that focus on non-gaming (and often risqué) topics, which is against its terms of service. From the sound of it, Twitch probably thought suspending accounts wouldn’t be a proper solution, because — as a spokesperson told Joystiq — a majority of Playroom content wasn’t related to gaming anyway. Those that still dream of fame with the help of their PlayStation 4 Cameras and new consoles shouldn’t lose hope, though. This move might be temporary, as the outfit says it could bring bring back Playroom shows once PS4 owners become more familiar with the platform’s gaming focus.

As early as last week on the 20th of November, users of the PlayStation Network (aka PSN) have seen their passwords reset without prompt. According to Sony support forum admins, this reset was done “purely as a precautionary measure” without specific evidence of any accounts being compromised. Users who find their passwords not working are […]

If you’re a fan of cameras, then brands such as Sony and Hasselblad might come to mind, although in the case of the latter, their cameras are usually priced beyond the means of regular photographers. Sony and Hasselblad have worked together before which resulted in Hasselblad essentially adding luxury touches to NEX cameras, such as the Hasselblad Lunar and the Hasselblad Stellar, but according to Sony Alpha Rumors, it seems as though Sony and Hasselblad are expected to make an joint announcement in the near future about an upcoming sensor which might make its debut in 2014.

Assuming this is true, this will definitely go beyond what Hasselblad has done for Sony’s cameras in the past. According to the rumor, this new sensor is expected to provide every pixel with a different shutter time, although it is unclear how this will be achieved. What this also means is that the resulting photos will have a very large dynamic range and if this is true, this is definitely worth looking forward to! Not much else is known, such as which cameras will be the first to take advantage of this new sensor, or when we might be able to expect such devices, but with CES 2014 nearly upon us, perhaps we might hear something about it then.

PSN users around the world have been booting up their various consoles only to be confronted with a message saying their passwords are incorrect. They’ve then had to go through the rigmarole of creating new login details, usually while still in the dark as to what happened to their accounts in the first place — and whether they might have been hacked. Sony has since put out an explanation via various official channels in the US, EU and Japan, saying that only “some” users have been affected and that the password resets are “purely a precautionary measure” for “routine protection.” We’ve contacted the company for clarification on its policy about contacting users individually in this sort of situation, and also to see if we can find out a little more about this “non-specific” threat to certain accounts.
