it's time to predict the future of gaming I'm Bridget Carey and this is your cnet update it's likely will soon get a first look at the PlayStation 4 on Wednesday during an event that Sony is hosting in New York the buzz is that it'll have new plane options but what could that mean Sony could push the idea of multi-screen plane options such as incorporating the screen of a Vita tablet or smartphone it will also be interesting if Sony is going to do anything to build upon the idea that the game console is the center of your living room entertainment perhaps we'll see some sort of new TV watching or recording option and there might be a different controller gaming site destructoid posted an image of what is rumored to be the new controller with a touchscreen but reports are saying this is just a prototype it's interesting that Sony is unveiling this so early and that it could come out by this holiday that's unheard of in the gaming world where it takes more than a year for a system to hit stores after its first unveiled this could be a major holiday for gaming because it also seems likely that the next xbox will be revealed soon skype has a new feature that lets you leave a video message for a friend that is busy or offline the feature is still in beta so it could be buggy but it's available for users in the US and UK this option is in the recent software update for the app on Android iOS and on max Windows users can still receive video messages but they appear as a link the new search feature on face book called graph search will filter the results if you're searching for information about minors Facebook is taking preventive measures to make sure they don't run into issues about a child's privacy teenagers won't have info displayed about their location or age and other miners will only see the search results of their friends and friends of friends Twitter will soon be judging if your tweets are important or not the site's programmers are adding code that will note a tweet is having a value of none low medium and eventually high value the idea is that search results can filter out tweets that have more influence because of more followers or retweets although there are a high volume of tweets it sure doesn't seem right for a company to fill tweet because they don't think it has value remember the app bump well we got our high back on it because a new update added new ways to move files between iPhones Android phones and any computer a file transfer can now be sent in any direction phone to computer or computer to phone and it includes any kind of file or multiple files you just have to make sure the data is less than 30 megabytes who needs a thumb drive if you could just use your smartphone that's your tech news update you can find more details on these stories at the blog cnet com / update from our studios in New York I'm Bridget Carey
