Big Brother is Definitely Watching
The more connected and interconnected we are with our tech, our mobile
devices, computers, Web usage and email, the more the government apparently
wants to know about what we’re doing and saying with all this connectivity,
who we’re talking to, when we’re talking and what we’re talking about.. It
sounds like a scary conspiracy theory, but unfortunately more and more evidence
is piling up detailing the far reaching eye of the government.
We’ve recently seen stories on CISPA and big data, and the government watching our Web browsing, as well as the state of internet surveillance overall. But no recent “Big Brother” stories are as big as the stories that truly belong in the movies. Companies like Verizon have been forced to hand over phone records to the U.S. government under a top secret court order. We’ve also learned that the National Security Agency (NSA) and FBI have been pulling data on Americans from companies like Google and Facebook.

Geeks.com E3 2013 Wrap Up
Well, another E3 convention has come and gone.
The Los Angeles Convention Center may not be as stinky as your friend's
garage after an all weekend LAN party but we certainly saw some big
time gaming going on, and there was some big time gaming news from this
year's event.
You probably saw our preview earlier this week, mostly focusing on the big news coming out of Sony and Microsoft. Sony Previewed the PS4, and Microsoft previewed the Xbox One, and a redesigned Xbox 360. Both will be available in time for the holidays, don't worry!
Multi-monitor set up demoing "Battlefield 4".

Sony
seems to be coming out the winner in the battle, with gamers
appreciating the lower price, and fewer restrictions from Sony compared
to Xbox. The PS4 won't require online check-ins, and will have no used
game restrictions. Sony also showed up with its upgraded DualShock 4 controller, with a touchpad, light bar, and share button!

It's E3 Time Again! An E3 Preview from Geeks.com
It’s that time of the year again where computer geeks and gamers alike
rejoice at the wonders of E3! E3 is the Electronic
Entertainment Expo, the yearly tradeshow where the computer and video game
industries get together and showcase their upcoming games and game related
merchandise.
E3 is put on by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), and is an industry-only event. To attend, you need to have a professional connection to the computer or gaming industry. By the way, yes, Geeks.com will be attending. For now we’re taking a look at the E3 anticipation, what we’re expecting to see, and what you might expect to hear from E3 this year.
There have already been some happenings at E3. Some of the first big news bytes (get it?) have to do with the PS4 and the Xbox One. Both have high price tags, with the PS4 at $399 and the Xbox One at $499. The PS4 will feature Music Unlimited, Redbox Instant, and Flixter as bonuses in addition to the gaming mayhem. The Xbox One’s price does include a Kinect and Gamepad if that eases the pain on the wallet a bit.
MicroSoft has also previewed a redesigned Xbox 360 with an estimated retail price of $199.99 for 4GB, $299.99 for 250GB and $299.99 for the 4GB Kinect bundle. Xbox Live Gold subscribers will soon be able to download two full games for free, including choices like Assassin's Creed 2 and Halo 3. Also announced were some new upcoming Xbox 360 games, including Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Batman: Arkham Origins, Grand Theft Auto V, and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.
