The command of the Xbox One multitasking allow the user to watch content simultaneously.
The screen is divided to facilitate the user to watch TV and surf the Internet at the same time, you can also make video calls Skype cin while playing video games or watching TV. The new console will have 8 GB of ram, blu-ray, 500 gb hard drive and most of the controls, the user can also use your tablet as a controller.
In the presentation, projected images of sports figures among which highlighted the Argentine footballer Lionel Messi. The Barcelona player said that interaction is "super-sized". Ultimate Team mode of 'FIFA 14' will be exclusive to Xbox One Another exclusive content will be integrated IV Modern Warfare game 'Call of Duty Ghosts'.
Filmmaker and producer Steven Spielberg was also part of the presentation and noted that "the Halo universe is an awesome experience with the technology to produce something new."

Henry Lin, 17, of Shreveport, La. also received the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award of $50,000. By simulating thousands of clusters of galaxies, Henry has provided scientists with valuable new data, allowing them to better understand the mysteries of astrophysics: dark matter, dark energy and the balance of heating and cooling in the universe's most massive objects.
Ionut Budisteanu, 19, of Romania was awarded first place for using artificial intelligence to create a viable model for a low-cost, self-driving car at this year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, a program of Society for Science & the Public.
Ionut said his research addresses a major global issue. In 2004, car accidents caused 2.5 million deaths worldwide1, and 87 percent of crashes resulted from driver error2. With 3-D radar and mounted cameras, Ionut created a feasible design for an autonomously controlled car that could detect traffic lanes and curbs, along with the real-time position of the car -- and it would only cost $4,000. He received the Gordon E. Moore Award of $75,000, named in honor of the Intel co-founder and fellow scientist.
Eesha Khare, 18, of Saratoga, Calif. received the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award of $50,000. With the rapid adoption of portable electronics, Eesha recognized the crucial need for energy-efficient storage devices.
She developed a tiny device that fits inside cell phone batteries, allowing them to fully charge within 20-30 seconds. Eesha's invention also has potential applications for car batteries.

OMG The webOS Windsor 4 inch slate smartphone that never was in pictures.
It was the next step in the evolution of webOS 3.x, and a gambit to move webOS smartphones into the same space of consideration as Android and iPhone.
But in the end, it was none of those things. The Windsor (Not) never stood a chance of making outside the doors of the webOS campus in Sunnyvale. Too many factors conspired to keep this device out of the hands of customers new and old.
The Windsor (Not) isn't just the webOS slate smartphone that never was. It's the webOS slate smartphone that was never meant to be.
However we would have liked to have it. Don't you.
Ecuador will enter the list of Space Nations with placing the Pegasus satellite into orbit

Beginning this Thursday night and the dawn of Friday, Ecuador will form part of a privileged group in the United Nations—the Space Faring Nations—as soon as it puts in orbit its first satellite constructed completely in the country and by Ecuadorian hands.
The launch of the first satellite, named Ecuadorian Spaceship Pegasus 01 (NEE-01Pegaso) and constructed by the Ecuadorian Civil Space Agency (EXA, Spanish acronym), is scheduled for 11:13 PM local time, this Thursday (04:13 GMT Friday) from the Jiuquan cosmodrome, in China.
This event, of the utmost importance for Ecuador, will be transmitted between 10:30 PM and 11:30 PM on national television and radio channels, and via internet on the website:http://www.earthcam.com/world/ecuador/ecsa/, informó EXA.
During the transmission, one will be able to watch the launch of the Chinese rocket, LM2D (carrier of the satellite), and one can immediately observe through simulations and technical data how the satellite is put into orbit, explained cosmonaut Ronnie Nader Bello, leader of the project.
Náder will command the satellite’s flight operations from the Integrated Security Center ECU-911 in Samborondón, where President Rafael Correa is scheduled to arrive, as well as other State authorities to participate in the historic act.
The National Government, through the National Secretariat of Science, Technology and Innovation (Senescyt), the Coordinate Ministry of Security, and the National Secretariat of Intelligence (Senain, Spanish acronym) have supported this project of the EXA agency.
The Pegasus has a cube form, 10 centimeters by 10 centimeters, with 75 centimeter panels and a weight of approximately 1.2 kilograms. It’s calculated to be in orbit until 2018, while the satellite NEE-02 Krysaor, whose launch is scheduled for next August from Russia, will be in orbit until 2025.
The cosmonaut from Guayaquil explains that Pegasus is the first nano-satellite capable of transmitting live video from space, as well as the first of its class to possess a shield capable of resisting solar flares. It’s also the first in its category to carry multiple, foldable solar panels. “It’s the only one in Latin America constructed without foreign help; it’s 100% Ecuadorian and, with pride, carries the phrase Hecho en Ecuador (Made in Ecuador) on its structure, he states.
The satellite was constructed in secret for almost two years with the help of a 60 person team, everyone with at least a PhD in aerospace engineering and a budget of no less than a million dollars—the majority being state resources and a part from private capital.
Náder discloses that it took him at least a year of practice with the terrestrial station, Hermes-A, where he learned to fly more than a dozen satellites, to pass uncountable hours researching, experimenting, and finding errors, to carry out tens of calculations of more than 1,500 variables, to have steady hands to solder components smaller than 1 millimeter, and to have patience to build a printed circuit.
“It took a lot of courage to construct battery banks capable of vaporizing a human being at the first error, to spend hours in a tower 20 meters above the ground, to climb hills on bicycle to do transmission tests, to have an almost demented imagination to find solutions that others would not even dare to imagine, more than 600 hours of tests, a year without sleeping well and, above all else, a lot of Ecuadorian coffee,” highlights the commander in a letter.
The effort, he says, has also included personal sacrifice, limiting family time, “but the prize exceeds that price many times over: We have created the first Ecuadorian satellite.”
For Náder, the feat of entering the list of Space Faring Nations signified that the people have surpassed their adolescence and become adults, because they understood that their survival and independence also depend on their presence in space.
The cosmonaut reveals that the name Pegasus comes from the Greek myth of the flying horse on which the hero, Perseus, gained freedom and progress for his people, but, furthermore, he tells of another more personal reason for having baptized the satellite with that name.
He explains that, as a child, after his mother put him to bed, she would put on a series of animated shows, whose protagonist was Pegasus. “One fine day, they didn’t play the program anymore and I landed here. Years after, when I was 13, again looking at the stars, I dreamed of constructing my own space ship and I swore that, if I achieved it one day, that ship would be called Pegasus.” 40 years later that dream came true for Náder, who said, convinced, that Ecuadorians are capable of achieving many great things.
About EXA
The Ecuadorian Civil Space Agency EXA was founded on November 1st, 2007, in Guayaquil, as an independent, civil organization to administer and carry out the Ecuadorian Civil Space Program, and to develop scientific research in the fields of planet sciences and space sciences.
EXA counts on the endorsement of the Ecuadorian State, through the Ecuadorian Air Force, with which it maintains a narrow relationship.
The Agency operates through its Division of Planetary Sciences, the first and only observatories of ultraviolet radiation in Ecuador, located in Guayaquil and Quito and, through the National Radiation Monitor of UV, reports the levels of ultraviolet radiation that arrive to these cities in real time, thereby providing protection.
