PS3, PS Vita Can Now Purchase Digital Goods Using Mobile Billing

Sony rolled out an update to its PlayStation Store, or rather, its Sony Entertainment Network that allows patrons to purchase their digital goods through PayPal in addition to the standard method of using a credit card or prepaid card. We assume Sony didn't think three payment options were good enough when it comes to all of the digital goods they have for sale every day, which is probably why the company has rolled out an additional payment method which would use your mobile phone account in order to make a payment.

Refreshed 2013 Toyota Landcruiser Prado gets official (video)

We'd seen leaked images of the the refreshed 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, now Toyota has deemed it officially ready for the European masses it is aimed at. We can only hope the masses are ready for that grille, probably the most intense of the many changes made to the volcano-eating truck. The new face and its "powerfully projecting vertical bars" were designed to "accentuate the new Toyota's rugged appearance," as if the legendarily capable SUV wasn't rugged enough.

Xbox One Voice Commands Will Not Work For Everyone At Launch

As some of you guys have heard, Microsoft's Xbox One will be delayed for some markets, and one of the reasons of the delay is because Microsoft is still working on getting local language and voice support for those regions. Based on this we would have assumed that for the markets the Xbox One will be launched in, voice support should not be an issue, or is it. According to some fine print on Microsoft's Xbox One website, it actually reads, "Xbox voice commands will not be available in all markets on the product release date. Voice commands will be available at launch in US, UK, CA, FR, and DE.".

Microsoft Details How They Guard Against Malware On Windows Phone

According to our earlier report, the US government has found in a study of their own that about 80% of malware targets the Android operating system, about 0.7% for iOS, and 0.3% for Windows Mobile. Given that the Windows Phone operating system is not as popular compared to Android, we guess malware creators don't see a need to target the operating system, yet, but we expect a day will come when those numbers rise. In the meantime to assuage the fear of Windows Phone users, Microsoft has detailed how they will go about preventing malware from arriving on their Windows Phone platform.

SimCity For Mac Released

SimCity for Mac was initially going to be released on June 11th, but EA announced that they were delaying the release as the game wasn't ready for primetime. It said that the launch would take place in August. Earlier this month EA finally announced the confirmed release date of SimCity for Mac, August 29th. The game has indeed been released today and is now available from the Origin store. If you've already purchased a boxed or digital copy of SimCity for PC, you won't have to purchase the game again for Mac.

It appears though that the release isn't going smooth.

Official trailer for Grand Theft Auto V steals our attention

If there was any doubt that the latest installment of the Grand Theft Auto franchise wouldn't be good, we're pretty certain the game's official trailer, just released by Rockstar Games, will be enough to erase it from the collective minds of the public. We've got the one-minute launch trailer for Grand Theft Auto V, and it shows everything from the cinematic sequences and arguments among the crew to some of the heists that players will be able to undertake. We've followed GTAV rather obsessively since word of the game first broke out, and every piece of it that we see gets us more and more excited for the eventual product.

New iPads Reportedly Not Launching On September 10th

Earlier today we picked up on a Bloomberg report that claimed Apple will released two new iPads on September 10th alongside the two new iPhones it is already rumored to announce on that day. This is actually the first time that we've heard about the possibility of Apple launching all four new products at one event, some might think that this is too good to be true. Jim Dalrymple of The Loop, who is believed to be well connected, contradicts the report from earlier today by claiming that no iPads will be launched at this event. It is widely believed that the company's new iPhones will be launched on September 10th.

Infini-Key Clip could be a cure for split ring haters

. If you love split rings as much as I do, and by “love”, I mean hate, I may have found a possible solution. It's the Infini-Key Clip from Niteize. It's made of stainless steel and won't cause you to utter curse words like you might when you jam the tip of a split ring under your fingernail. The Infini-Key has a carabiner clip that opens to allow you to slip on as many as a dozen keys. The narrow neck keeps the keys on the ring section of the keyring and the carabiner clip can be used to attach the keyring to your belt or bag. I really like the simple design and the $3.99 price sure is nice as well.
