PlayStation®4 Launches Across the United States and Canada
With the PS4(TM)system, Sony Computer Entertainment Welcomes Gamers to a New Era of Rich, Immersive Gameplay Experiences
TOKYO, Nov. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today launched PlayStation®4 (PS4((TM))), a system built for gamers and inspired by developers. The PS4 system is now available in the United States and Canada at a suggested retail price of USD $399 and CAD $399, arriving with a lineup of over 20 first- and third-party games, including exclusive titles like Knack((TM)) and Killzone: Shadow Fall((TM)). In total, the PS4 system will have a library of over 30 games by the end of the year. *(1)
"Today's launch of PS4 represents a milestone for all of us at PlayStation, our partners in the industry, and, most importantly, all of the PlayStation fans who live and breathe gaming every day," said Andrew House, President and Group CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. "With unprecedented power, deep social capabilities, and unique second screen features, PS4 demonstrates our unwavering commitment to delivering phenomenal play experiences that will shape the world of games for years to come."
The PS4 system enables game developers to realize their creative vision on a platform specifically tuned to their needs, making it easier to build huge, interactive worlds in smooth 1080p HD resolution.*(2) Its supercharged PC architecture - including an enhanced Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and 8GB of GDDR5 unified system memory - is designed to ease game creation and deliver a dramatic increase in the richness of content available on the platform. The end result for players is an abundant software library, as more than 180 games are currently in development.
The PS4 system takes social connectivity into the next generation by enabling gamers to immediately share their best gameplay moments with friends. With a press of the "SHARE" button on the DUALSHOCK®4 wireless controller, images and videos can be shared with other players in the activity feed on their PS4 system's Dynamic Menu, or on social networking services such as Facebook®. Gameplay images can also be shared with friends through Twitter. In addition, players can broadcast their gameplay in real-time using live internet streaming services such as Ustream and Twitch. During live broadcasts, friends can even make comments on the streamed gameplay.
The PS4 system integrates second screens, including the PlayStation®Vita system (PS Vita), smartphones and tablets, to connect gamers to the PlayStation ecosystem wherever they are. Through Remote Play, gamers can play most PS4 titles on their PS Vita system via Wi-Fi on their home network, freeing up the television for other uses.*(3) The "PlayStation®App" will further enhance the PS4 system experience by allowing iPhone, iPad, and Android(TM) based smartphones and tablets to become second screens. Once installed, users can, for example, see maps on their second screens when playing an adventure game on the PS4 system, purchase a PS4 game while away from home and download it directly to their system, or find and watch shared PS4 gameplay. PlayStation App is now available for free on the iOS App Store and Google Play.
The PlayStation®Plus (PS Plus) membership service has been further enhanced on the PS4 system, helping gamers discover a world of extraordinary game experiences through access to a regularly refreshed collection of free games. At launch, PS Plus members will have access to Resogun((TM)) from SCE Worldwide Studios (SCE WWS) and Contrast from Compulsion Games for free as part of Instant Game Collection((TM)), along with DRIVECLUB((TM))PS Plus Edition from SCE WWS anticipated in early 2014. PS Plus gives PS4 system users access to online multiplayer worthy of the next generation, one GB of online storage for game saves, automatic save data backup, and game patch automatic downloads.
With strong third-party developer support from day one, the PS4 system launches with blockbuster games like Assassin's Creed(®) IV: Black Flag((TM) )from Ubisoft Entertainment, NBA(®) 2K14 from 2K, Battlefield 4, FIFA 14,Madden NFL 25, Need for Speed Rivals and NBA LIVE 14 from Electronic Arts. PS4 also launches with a diverse list of indie games including Blacklight Retribution from Zombie Studios, Warframe from Digital Extremes, and Super Motherload from XGen Studios.
PS4's games portfolio expands in 2014 with games like the highly anticipated franchise favorite inFAMOUS((TM)): Second Son from SCE WWS, as well as brand new IP including The Order 1886 from SCE WWS, Watch_Dogs((TM)) from Ubisoft Entertainment and #DRIVECLUB((TM)) from SCE WWS. All of these titles showcase the power of PS4 with breathtaking graphics and breakthrough gameplay experiences.
In addition to a best-in-class gaming lineup, the PS4 system offers a curated portfolio of entertainment apps at launch, providing access to movies and television shows, unique specialized content, and live sports programming. The entertainment apps, which can be found on PlayStation(®)Store in North America, include Amazon Instant Video, Crackle, Crunchyroll, EPIX(®), Hulu Plus, Music Unlimited, NBA Game Time, Netflix, NHL GameCenter LIVE((TM)), Redbox Instant((TM)) by Verizon, Video Unlimited, VUDU and YuppTV.*(4)
Looking ahead, the PS4 system will evolve through PlayStation's cloud gaming services, available in the U.S. in 2014. Based on Gaikai Inc.'s cloud technology, the services will enable users to have access to a catalog of critically acclaimed PlayStation(®)3 (PS3(®)) games on the PS4 and PS3 systems, followed by the PS Vita system.
With the launch of the PS4 system, Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) has rolled out a massive advertising campaign with the official tag line, "Greatness Awaits," which is featured in retail partnerships, digital banners, and television commercials. In addition, SCEA and Taco Bell(®) partnered to give consumers the chance to win a PS4 system every 15 minutes via the "Play The Future First" campaign, which ran from September 26, 2013 through November 10, 2013.

(*2) Some games may not support 1080p resolution.
(*3) SCE expects that many, if not most, PS4 titles will support Remote Play. Remote Play may or may not work over a wide area network.

SOBERLINK Launches SLBLUE, an Apple Compatible Alcohol Monitoring Device
SOBERLINK Inc. announces the launch of SLBLUE - a Breathalyzer that can conveniently submit alcohol tests from anywhere in the world, using an Apple device's Wi-Fi or cell connection
CYPRESS, Calif., Nov. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SOBERLINK, Inc., the creator of the first handheld Breathalyzer with an embedded camera for remote alcohol monitoring, continues to show prominence in the mobile alcohol monitoring space with their new product, SLBLUE.
SOBERLINK introduced the world's first smartphone Breathalyzer with the SL1 and further improved the product with the second generation, SL2, by including a cell module in the Breathalyzer itself. The "all-in-one" SL2 wirelessly sends breath test results and real time photos directly to a cloud-based monitoring website, using Verizon's Private Network.
The newest product, SLBLUE, was developed in response to the need for cost-effective remote alcohol monitoring that could extend outside of the US or where no cell coverage is available. Instead of a built-in cell module, SLBLUE uses Bluetooth to pair with an Apple iPhone or iPad so an individual can use their existing cell service or Wi-Fi connection to send test results from anywhere in the world.
The SLBLUE (BETA) devices will launch on November 15, 2013 with an official release scheduled for first quarter of 2014. Beta participants will include international pilots and other individuals who need a flexible and convenient way to adhere to a mandated or family alcohol monitoring program.
SLBLUE offers the same discreet and reliable design as the SL2, with a high-resolution camera for identity verification and a professional-grade fuel cell for accurate alcohol measurement.
According to SOBERLINK, Inc. CEO and Founder Brad Keays, "We feel this new offering further separates our brand as the leader in mobile alcohol monitoring technology. SLBLUE offers the individual the convenience of using their own Apple device to comply with their monitoring program, at an even greater value. With SLBLUE, real-time alcohol monitoring can be done from virtually anywhere in the world."
In comparison to the growing amount of personal Breathalyzers on the market, the SOBERLINK devices are designed for a remote alcohol monitoring system that promotes accountability and structure for a person recovering from alcohol addiction.
About Us
Founded in 2010, SOBERLINK, Inc. is the leader in developing innovative mobile alcohol monitoring devices and software to help change behavior and promote accountability for those in recovery. SOBERLINK's initial device, SL1, is the world's first smartphone Breathalyzer. SL2, the second generation device is a cellular Breathalyzer that uses an embedded cell module and camera to transmit the test result and a live photo directly to a monitoring platform. The SLBLUE is an extension to the line of devices and offers an individual the flexibility of complying with an alcohol program by using their iPhone or iPad's existing data plan or Wi-Fi connection to send test results.

WD® Demonstrates Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording Hard Drive Technology At 2013 China (Ningbo) International Forum On Advanced Materials And Commercialization
NINGBO, China and IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- WD(®), a Western Digital (NASDAQ: WDC) company and storage industry leader, demonstrated its revolutionary heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology at the 2013 China (Ningbo) International Forum on Advanced Materials and Commercialization. WD's vice president of technology, Dr. William Cain, gave his presentation, 'Magnetic Hard Disk Media: Enabling High Density Data Storage,' on a PC powered by a fully enabled WD HAMR 2.5-inch hard drive.
"Analysts predict 25 trillion gigabytes of new data will be generated by 2020[1] and that average household storage needs in the U.S. will require as much as 3.3 TB by 2016[2]," said Dr. Cain. "This tremendous growth in data requires continued increases in storage capacity and performance for the cloud, big data and consumer technologies. WD is focused on hard drive innovations that will enable future storage capabilities, and HAMR technology is a key step in the migration path."
HAMR technology may offer a solution for increasing areal density (AD) by magnetically recording data on high-stability media using laser thermal assistance. The technology shrinks data bits in a stable manner by briefly heating the disk surface during magnetic head recording. The method can increase data density by a factor of more than 5 and ultimately results in storage capacities as great as 4 terabits per square inch.
WD is addressing the challenges associated with HAMR technology, including designing media that manages the increasing complexities of concurrently meeting magnetic, thermal and optical requirements; laser light path integration; and head-disk interface reliability and lifetime.
Dr. Cain's presentation and discussion will be held Nov. 13(th) at 11:00 a.m. during the International Symposium on Magneto-electronic Materials and Devices.

Introducing Moto G: An Exceptional Phone At An Exceptional Price
SAO PAULO, Nov. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- People all around the world want to be a part of the mobile Internet so they can access the world's information, share, and connect with the things that matter to them. But the smartphone industry has relegated hundreds of millions of smartphone buyers to second-class status, preventing them from experiencing the mobile Internet at its best.
That's because price-conscious consumers who don't want to pay $600 or more for high-end smartphones have been left with two bad options. The first is to buy cheap, new smartphones made with second-rate technology that don't do justice to modern apps and experiences like navigation, video chat and games. The second is to buy "low cost" versions of premium products that were released two or three years ago and are already obsolete.
We think there should be a better option. Everybody deserves to be on the mobile Internet, and price shouldn't stand in the way of anyone having a truly good smartphone to get them there.
Today we're introducing Moto G, a smartphone that delivers a premium experience for a third of the price of current high-end phones. Moto G includes:
-- A brilliant 4.5-inch HD display - the sharpest in its class - that goes
edge-to-edge so you can enjoy movies, photos, video chats and more.
-- The newest Qualcomm® Snapdragon(TM) 400 processor featuring a quad-core
CPU for seamless multitasking and enjoying the web, videos and games,
with all-day battery life.
-- Android 4.3 Jellybean, the most up to date Android of any phone in its
class, with a guaranteed upgrade to Android 4.4 KitKat at the beginning
of 2014. No skins to clutter or slow the experience, and great
performance with Google's unbeatable mobile services such as Gmail,
YouTube, Google Maps, Chrome and Hangouts.
-- Stylish design with a comfortable curved back and 19 customization
options, including interchangeable Motorola Shells and Flip Shells in
seven colors as well as Grip Shells in five colors.
Moto G goes on sale this week in Brazil and parts of Europe and will be available within the next few weeks throughout Latin America, Europe, Canada and parts of Asia. It will be available in the US, India, the Middle East and more of Asia in early January. Moto G will be in more than 30 countries with 60 partners by 2014.
In the US, Moto G will be sold on Motorola.com, with no contract, no SIM lock and an unlockable bootloader for USD$179 with 8GB of storage and USD$199 for 16GB. Moto G will also be available through various carriers and retailers.

Jawbone® Introduces New Real-Time Experience for the UP® System
Data-Powered UP 3.0 App and UP24(TM) - a New Wristband Addition to the UP Family - Deliver Tailored, Actionable Information Based on Your Data
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Jawbone® today announced new software and a new hardware option for the UP® system, its wristband, app and data service that helps you understand how you sleep, move and eat so you can make choices to live better. The UP 3.0 App uses your own data to deliver insights and celebrate milestones while challenging you to accomplish more each day. The UP24(TM) wristband, powered by MotionX®, connects wirelessly to your iOS device via Bluetooth Smart(TM) to provide continuous feedback and in-the-moment notifications to help you achieve your goals.
"The UP community has logged more than 500 billion steps and 35 million nights of sleep with UP. It's an astounding amount of data," said Travis Bogard, vice president of product management and strategy at Jawbone. "From it, we've learned a tremendous amount about how people live, and we've applied that knowledge to deliver even more personal data insights and more actionable recommendations with the new UP 3.0 App. UP24 plus UP 3.0 is the only system that pushes incredibly smart, timely information to you at just the right moment to help turn your intentions into action. As a result, UP24 is much more than just wireless syncing - we didn't just want to add Bluetooth®. Instead we used the real-time experience to create a powerful, personalized system that helps you take action and fine-tune your day."
Turn Intention Into Action
The UP 3.0 App for iOS encourages and motivates you to take small steps that can turn into long-term progress - all based on your unique data from your UP or UP24 wristband:
-- Today I Will: The UP 3.0 App's Insights Engine delivers simple,
achievable opt-in commitments called "Today I Will" that challenge you
to accomplish a suggested goal in a day's time. Focused in one of three
categories - sleep, movement, or water intake - your Today I Will
insight might recommend that you go to bed before 11:00pm if you've
missed your sleep goal several nights in a row, or suggest you drink
eight glasses of water in a day if you've been actively working out. The
UP App sends you reminders, tracks your progress, and lets your
teammates cheer you on throughout the day. It's one easy step toward
breaking old habits and building new ones.
-- Streaks & Milestones: As you continue to achieve your goals over time,
the UP 3.0 App rewards you with celebrations of your short- and
long-term progress. Upon hitting your goal consistently for a number of
days in a row, UP acknowledges your successful streak with a visual,
interactive celebration within the app. The UP App also celebrates
meaningful milestones such as hitting your millionth step taken or
logging 1,000 hours of sleep.
-- Activity Log: The UP 3.0 App lets you reflect on your recent activity by
giving you a snapshot of the steps, sleep, workouts and meals you've
logged since you last visited the app. By scrolling up from the home
screen, you can view your recent activities and tap into any event from
the past two days to quickly make edits, hide something from your feed,
or see more detail.
-- Sleep Recovery: Now UP and UP24 users can get the benefit of the bands'
revolutionary sleep tracking system even if they occasionally forget to
put their band in Sleep Mode. The UP 3.0 App identifies times when it
believes you may have been sleeping and makes a suggestion in your
Activity Log. Just tap on the suggestion to confirm or adjust the sleep
event and see a detailed estimation of your night's sleep, including
light sleep, deep sleep, time in bed, and wake-ups. The more you track
your sleep using Sleep Mode, the more accurate Sleep Recovery becomes.
Receive Timely, Actionable Insights
UP24 is the only lifestyle tracker that pushes tailored, actionable information to you at just the right moment, enabled by wireless syncing via Bluetooth Smart(TM). It notifies you when you've reached your step goal with a push notification on your iOS device, as well as when you're getting close to hitting your goal and need a gentle, motivational nudge to help you to succeed.
UP24 can also be set to send notifications with a summary of your recent sleep activity at the moment you wake up, or a workout summary as soon as you complete a workout. Conveniently tap into the notification to see how you did or add more information. All notifications for UP and UP24 can be customized from your app Settings menu.
Now partner apps found in the UP App Gallery can perform new, more timely functions with real-time syncing via UP24. Keep your MyFitnessPal and LoseIt! accounts constantly up-to-date with your latest activity and calories burned, or try Recipes from IFTTT to receive nudges throughout the day based on your current step count. You can even use IFTTT with your wireless lighting system or Wi-Fi switch to automatically turn on the lights or start your coffee maker the moment your UP24 band exits sleep mode.
Designed for the Way You Live
UP24 features the same sophisticated form factor and technology that UP users love for 24/7 wear - now with the addition of Bluetooth Smart(TM) for continuous syncing with the UP 3.0 App. Its smooth, hypoallergenic, medical-grade rubber exterior features a new, stylish textural design, and like UP, UP24 is small and comfortable enough to wear throughout each day and night.
UP24 is powered by the patented MotionX® engine based on the biomechanics of natural human motion, developed by Fullpower. Its battery lasts 7 days, and it can be charged through your computer or USB power adapter via the included 2.5mm USB cable.
Available on November 13
The UP24 band comes in three sizes (Small, Medium, and Large) and two colors (Onyx and Persimmon), and will be available today for $149.99 at Jawbone.com, and at Apple and Best Buy stores nationwide beginning November 19.
UP by Jawbone 3.0 for iOS is available today as a free download from the App Store. The UP or UP24 wristband is required for the app.
