Download or read book Knowing Your Psp written by Paolo Jose De Luna and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-10 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's gaming industry, we can see a lot of things shifting and changing as the years go by. There are a lot of new and great games that come out almost every single year. Game consoles such as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One have updates on a regular basis. This also includes the PC which exhibits its supreme power by playing games that are also found on the PS4 and the Xbox One. In this ever changing world known as the gaming industry, there is still one thing that most gamers crave for - playing those triple A game titles on the go. The handheld market is no new face in the gaming industry. For most people, they still remember when Nintendo's Game Boy first came out in 1989. In those times, gaming was still on 8bit graphics. With the ever changing developments in the gaming industry, many improvements have been made. These improvements come in the form of spectacularly realistic graphics and sound, innovative controls and online multiplayer. Almost no one has the luxury to experience these things in the handheld sector of the gaming industry. However, with Nintendo's first attempt of the handheld sector with the Game Boy and their subsequent success with it, have drawn more competitors to this field in the gaming industry. After the success of the Game Boy, Nintendo moved on to their new handheld device called the DS, which also gained some success. The DS later received an upgraded version called the Nintendo 3DS. Of course, Nintendo was on their way to dominate the handheld sector, until Sony came up with their own device to make a great debut in this sector. This device came in the form of the PlayStation Portable (PSP for short). The PSP was by far every handheld gamer's dream device. The PSP's capabilities rivaled that of the early Game Boy and the DS combined. During that time, the PSP was on a brief competition with Nintendo's 3DS and both have proven to be tough competitors in the handheld sector. In this eBook we will teach you on how to maximize the use of your PSP to the fullest. We will also provide some other information like proper use, maintenance, and many other things. Basically, we are going to teach you on how you can use your PSP to the fullest.

Download or read book iGen written by Jean M. Twenge and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As seen in Time, USA TODAY, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, and on CBS This Morning, BBC, PBS, CNN, and NPR, iGen is crucial reading to understand how the children, teens, and young adults born in the mid-1990s and later are vastly different from their Millennial predecessors, and from any other generation. With generational divides wider than ever, parents, educators, and employers have an urgent need to understand today’s rising generation of teens and young adults. Born in the mid-1990s up to the mid-2000s, iGen is the first generation to spend their entire adolescence in the age of the smartphone. With social media and texting replacing other activities, iGen spends less time with their friends in person—perhaps contributing to their unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. But technology is not the only thing that makes iGen distinct from every generation before them; they are also different in how they spend their time, how they behave, and in their attitudes toward religion, sexuality, and politics. They socialize in completely new ways, reject once sacred social taboos, and want different things from their lives and careers. More than previous generations, they are obsessed with safety, focused on tolerance, and have no patience for inequality. With the first members of iGen just graduating from college, we all need to understand them: friends and family need to look out for them; businesses must figure out how to recruit them and sell to them; colleges and universities must know how to educate and guide them. And members of iGen also need to understand themselves as they communicate with their elders and explain their views to their older peers. Because where iGen goes, so goes our nation—and the world.
Download or read book Hacker Hoaxer Whistleblower Spy written by Gabriella Coleman and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate book on the worldwide movement of hackers, pranksters, and activists collectively known as Anonymous—by the writer the Huffington Post says “knows all of Anonymous’ deepest, darkest secrets” “A work of anthropology that sometimes echoes a John le Carré novel.” —Wired Half a dozen years ago, anthropologist Gabriella Coleman set out to study the rise of this global phenomenon just as some of its members were turning to political protest and dangerous disruption (before Anonymous shot to fame as a key player in the battles over WikiLeaks, the Arab Spring, and Occupy Wall Street). She ended up becoming so closely connected to Anonymous that the tricky story of her inside–outside status as Anon confidante, interpreter, and erstwhile mouthpiece forms one of the themes of this witty and entirely engrossing book. The narrative brims with details unearthed from within a notoriously mysterious subculture, whose semi-legendary tricksters—such as Topiary, tflow, Anachaos, and Sabu—emerge as complex, diverse, politically and culturally sophisticated people. Propelled by years of chats and encounters with a multitude of hackers, including imprisoned activist Jeremy Hammond and the double agent who helped put him away, Hector Monsegur, Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy is filled with insights into the meaning of digital activism and little understood facets of culture in the Internet age, including the history of “trolling,” the ethics and metaphysics of hacking, and the origins and manifold meanings of “the lulz.”
