The Ouya is an upcoming video game console built upon open-source technology running on the Android mobile operating system. Julie Uhrman, a game industry veteran, founded the project. She brought in designer Yves Béhar to collaborate on the design of the project, and Muffi Ghadiali as product manager to put together the engineering team for the hardware and application framework software. The console is slated for release in March 2013.


Ouya was announced on July 3, 2012 as a new home video game console, made by a team of experts[citation needed], and led by the CEO of Boxer8, Julie Uhrman. On July 10, Ouya started a Kickstarter campaign to gauge how many people were interested in the project. Boxer8 confirmed having a working prototype with in-progress software and user interface. Boxer8 is expected to provide their own Ouya store for apps and games. The prototype runs on Android 4.0. It featured many high-end specs, and a price tag of $99 ($95 for 1000 "early birds" to the Kickstarter campaign). The Kickstarter fundraising goal was raised within 8 hours (and continues to increase as more models are made available at various funding levels). According to Kickstarter, in reaching its goal, Ouya holds the record for best first day performance of any project hosted to date. Within the first 24 hours the project attracted one backer every 5.59 seconds. Ouya became the eighth project in Kickstarter history to raise more than a million dollars, and then became the most quickly funded project on Kickstarter to reach one million dollars.
The Ouya Kickstarter page featured an introduction video, which explained various aspects of the console, showcased the process of designing of the 3" touchpad-sporting controller, and gave viewers a glimpse of the motherboard. It also presented the first looks of the console's game store, showing several games from indie developers who had supported and shown interest in Ouya. Many developers had shown interest as far back as seven months prior to the Ouya's announcement. Potential games on the new platform include Minecraft, Canabalt, and Triple Town.
On July 19, 2012, Robert Bowling, former Creative Strategist at Infinity Ward, announced in a blog post and through an update on the Ouya Kickstarter page that his newly formed studio Robotoki would be the first developer to commit to creating a game exclusively for the Ouya. The game will be an episodic prequel to Robotoki's Human Element, a post-zombie-apocalyptic game scheduled for release in 2015.


Specifications:
Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core ARM processor
1 GB RAM
8 GB of internal flash storage
HDMI connection to the TV, with support for up to 1080p HD
Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth LE 4.0
Ethernet port
One USB 2.0
Wireless controller sporting two analog sticks, d-pad, eight action buttons, a system button, and 3"[citation needed] touchpad
Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich"

Features:
The Ouya will feature an exclusive Ouya store for applications and games designed specifically for the Ouya system. Out of the box, Ouya will include the Twitch.TV application. The physical dimensions of the console are expected to be around the size of a Rubik's cube. It is expected to run on a modified version of Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich", and will be hardware moddable (with "well-documented test points") and rootable (developer models ordered during the Kickstarter campaign for $699 or $1,337 will come pre-rooted). Rooting the console will not void the warranty. The console's design will allow it to be easily opened up, requiring only a standard screwdriver. All systems can be used as development kits, allowing any Ouya owner and gamer to also be a developer, without the need for licensing fees. All games will be required to have some kind of free-to-play form.

Lollipop Chainsaw is a hack and slash video game developed by Grasshopper Manufacture for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles. It features Juliet Starling, a cheerleader zombie hunter fighting zombies in a fictional California high school. A collaboration between game designer Goichi Suda and filmmaker James Gunn, the game is being published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

Story
Lollipop Chainsaw focuses on zombie hunter and cheerleader Juliet Starling (voiced by Tara Strong in English and Eri Kitamura/Yōko Hikasa in Japanese) who fights hordes of zombies in San Romero High School, which Starling formerly attended. She carries with her the severed, yet still living, head of her boyfriend Nick Carlyle (voiced by Michael Rosenbaum in English and Kenichi Suzumura in Japanese), whom she decapitated after he suffered a zombie bite. It is also revealed that Juliet will be assisted by her sisters, Cordelia Starling (voiced by Linda Cardellini in English and Mayumi Asano in Japanese), the elder one and Rosalind Starling (voiced by Kimberly Brookes in English and Mariya Ise in Japanese) the younger sister. The enemy zombies are led by "a group of zombie rock and roll lords" who were former high school students who were turned into intelligent zombies that each have different personalities, music-styles and motif's. The zombie outbreak has been caused by Juliet's former classmate, an evil goth druid named Swan (voiced by Sean Gunn in English and Nobuhiko Okamoto in Japanese), who seeks to break the barrier between the human world and the Rotten World, a world inhabited by zombies and other demonic forces.


Gameplay
Lollipop Chainsaw is a hack and slash video game, with gameplay resembling Suda51's No More Heroes games. In this game, Juliet has light attacks, which are acrobatic kicks and punches, and heavy attacks which use a chainsaw. The light attacks are intended to herd enemy zombies together so that Juliet can finish them off all at once with heavy attacks. Killing enemies and saving classmates that are being attacked by zombies will fill up Juliet's star meter, which is used for super attacks. Juliet's boyfriend Nick, a disembodied head hanging from her skirt, can be used for various purposes, including being kicked at enemies by Juliet or being put on the body of a decapitated zombie to control it. When the player completes certain tasks in the game, Juliet's chainsaw will be upgraded.

A recent slew of security failures have left countless accounts hacked at sites like Linkedin and eHarmoney. Now League of Legends is the latest database to suffer from hackers this week.

Riot has sent out a mail to registered League of Legends players in Europe, asking them to change their passwords due to a hackers accessing some player account information. Full details are below, but know that according to Riot,” absolutely no payment or billing information of any kind was included in the breach.” but email addresses, encrypted account password, summoner name, date of birth, and for a small number of players – first and last name and encrypted security question and answer.

Obviously, this information could be used in phishing scams. Riot Games does encrypt passwords through it warns “our security investigation determined that more than half of the passwords were simple enough to be at risk of easy cracking”. Marc Merrill and Brandon Beck posted an update on the situation, as well as a formal apology which you can read below.

As these things go, Riot appears to be handling this embarrassing situation relatively well. There's no info yet on exactly when the breach took place.

Finally, Riot's Marc Merrill Brandon Beck have apologised to players for the breach, saying "We take your privacy and security seriously, and we're working diligently to improve it for the better."

Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gods & Kings is an upcoming and first official expansion pack for the turn-based strategy video game Civilization V. It is currently expected to release on June 19 in North America and June 22 internationally. It will add both religion and espionage mechanics to the game as well as rework the combat and diplomacy features.

Gods and Kings is set to include 27 new units, 13 new buildings, 9 new wonders, and 9 new playable civilizations. A new religion mechanic featuring a "faith" resource will allow players to found their own religion which they can grow to a "world-spanning fully customized religion." Diplomacy has been reworked to include espionage, foreign embassies, and new types of city-states (religious and mercantile). City-states will also feature a new quest system and strategic importance. Additionally, the combat system has been re-worked to include smarter AI, an expanded early modern era, and enhanced naval combat featuring Great Admiral and melee naval units. Gods & Kings will add an additional fifty-two Steam achievements to Civilization V.
Three new scenarios will be included in the expansion: "Fall of Rome", focusing on the decline of the Roman Empire; "Into the Renaissance", focusing on religion in the Middle Ages into the Renaissance era; and "Empires of the Smoky Skies", a Victorian steampunk scenario.

According to a US report recently claimed that hackers had managed to interfere with two military satellites, but one expert argues the amount of energy required would be too great for ordinary hackers.

The hackers took control of the Landsat-7 and Terra AM-1 satellites for a grand total of 12 minutes and two minutes respectively.

One might hope that the communications satellites suspended in orbit above the earth might be one component of the planet’s technology infrastructure that is safely out of harm’s way.

But as satellite communications enthusiast Paul Marsh explained at the London Security B-Sides event in April, there are reasons to doubt the reports. He spoke about a similar story, reported in the late 1990s, about hackers supposedly accessing UK military satellite communications network SkyNet and ‘nudging’ one satellite out of synch.

Whether Chinese hackers have that capability now is just one more matter of speculation to add to the opaque field of cyber warfare.
