So, you're about to welcome the newest addition to the Sony PlayStation device family into your life - the PlayStation TV. Our prediction is that the PS TV represents a huge step forward for Sony and the beginnings of a much brighter (and cheaper!) cloud-based future for console gaming. PS TV brings together a significant cross section of the PlayStation back catalog in one relatively inexpensive device, thanks to PS3 game streaming through PlayStation Now, Sony's Cross Buy initiative, and PS TV's Remote Play feature, which allows you to stream your own PS4 screen to another television in your house through PS TV. The PS TV also opens up classic PS2, PS3 and PSP games to satisfy older gamers' nostalgia and introduce younger gamers to the games that hooked their parents (and if you're wondering, yes, Final Fantasy VI is still just as great as you remember it being). This guide will tell you everything you need to know about the PS TV (and then some). There's plenty of information here for total PlayStation newbies wondering what in the world Dualshock is, as well as for seasoned PlayStation players hoping to tie years and even decades of PlayStation experience together through the PS TV. In Chapter 1: Meet the PlayStation TV, we'll catch you up to speed on the world of PlayStation and give you an overview of the services and accessories that make the PlayStation world turn. In Chapter 2: PS TV Basics, we'll help you unpack and set up your PS TV, navigate it, customize it, and take care of it. In Chapter 3: Gaming on PS TV, we'll go into lots of detail about the various ways you can play with PS TV. Chapter 4: Onboard PS TV Applications gives you a detailed tour of every single application on your device, with tips and tricks for getting the most out of each one. Finally, in Chapter 5: Recommended Games, we'll share some of our favorites with you. So tell your significant other and your boss that you're going to be unavailable for the foreseeable future as you explore everything PS TV has to offer, and read on to learn how to get the most out of PlayStation TV!

Congratulations on your purchase of what Sony Computer Entertainment touts as “the world’s most powerful gaming console,” the PlayStation 4! In its first year alone, the PlayStation 4 has already sold nearly 15 million units internationally and has been heralded by critics and consumers alike for its powerful hardware and new features. In 2014 it won gaming mega-website IGN’s People’s Choice Award for best console (in competition with the xBox One and Wii U). Accordingly, the PlayStation 4 dominated gaming console sales throughout 2014, making it one of the best and fastest-selling gaming consoles ever designed. In addition to its beefier hardware, Sony has added a variety of new and innovative features, including the Dualshock 4 controller, the PlayStation Camera, and the PlayStation Move controller. Additionally, with the new system, players can connect their smart phones, tablets, PS Vita or PS TV to act as “second screen” interfaces to interact with your PS4. The new PlayStation 4 user interface will be familiar to those already used to the PlayStation 3 interface, but the look and feel of the PS4 has been enhanced with dynamic menus that can be changed based on user preferences. Third party apps, such as Netflix and Hulu, can now be displayed directly on the main screen for faster access. Additionally, the system now can be controlled using voice commands from a microphone headset or from the built-in microphone on the PlayStation Camera. With the release of the PlayStation 4, Sony has begun to emphasize “social gaming,” which goes far beyond mere multi-player gaming with the ability to share directly to social media sites like YouTube and Facebook with just a click of a button. Ever wanted to share a video of yourself beating that final boss with your Facebook friends? With the PS 4, this is now possible with just a couple of button presses using the new “Share” button on the Dualshock 4 controller. In addition to faster and easier access to internet services like Netflix and Amazon Instant Video, the PlayStation 4’s built in web browser is based on the same engine used by Google Chrome and the new Safari web browser, making it the most compatible browser available on any console. Whereas in the past and with other consoles, web browsing could be a bit of a headache when it comes to things like accessing YouTube videos, the PS4’s web browser is as easy and intuitive as the web browser on your computer, and it’s automatically compatible with the web’s most advanced websites. This guide will introduce you to how to use the most advanced features of the PS4. Now might be a good time to warn your significant other and boss that they might not see you for a while as you get familiar with your new best friend, the Sony PlayStation 4! Please note, this book is neither written or endorsed by Sony and should be considered unofficial.
Featured in this e-book are bios of many of these influential women, including SIGINT superstar Moody and highflying Elizabeth Swantek, a parachutist and Russian scholar who trained American spies to get airdropped behind the Iron Curtain. We've also profiled Hall and many other female notables from WWII as well as women from more recent decades. And, because there are two sides to every coin, we're also including some women who weren't so pro-Uncle Sam, like the headline-grabbing Ethel Rosenberg and the side-swapping Elizabeth Bentley, a Vassar College graduate who looked like an all-American girl, but was spying for the Soviets.

Technology is without a doubt both one of the greatest advantages and one of the most complicated challenges for modern parents. We find ourselves trying to balance healthy screen limits and online safety with being sure our kids are technologically literate. After all, for better or worse, they'll be navigating a world filled with screens, and there's no sense in shutting them off from that reality entirely! Aside from the health and safety issues, the prospect of buying a toddler a tablet is also one fraught with financial peril - kids may or may not be as enchanted with a gadget's screen resolution or turbo-charged processing chip as they are in determining what the tablet tastes like, or what might happen if it were to be launched out the window of a moving vehicle! With the Kindle Fire HD Kids' Edition tablet, Amazon has finally given us a true kids' tablet instead of a tablet-shaped toy. The Fire HD Kids' Edition is a full Amazon Fire HD tablet - no features or hardware have been stripped out or reduced. However, its user interface, called Fire OS, has been slightly modified, moving Amazon FreeTime to the forefront. In this guide, we'll show you how you and your family can get the most out of the Kindle Fire HD Kids' Edition. In Chapter 1: Meet Kindle Fire HD Kids' Edition, we'll help you unpack your new tablet, give you some background on the Amazon services that make it tick, introduce you to the device's hardware, and help you through setup and basic navigation. In Chapter 2: Managing Kindle Fire HD Kids' Edition, we'll get you off the ground with Kindle profiles and content by helping you fully customize and understand household profiles and how they work. We'll also walk you through purchasing content and sharing it with other members of your family. Then, in Chapter 3: Kindle Fire HD Kids' Edition Parent Profile, we'll let you in on the post-bedtime possibilities available to Kindle Fire owning adults! In Chapter 4: Kindle Fire HD Kids' Edition Kid Profiles, we'll cover everything you need to know about the kid experience on Kindle Fire HD. In Chapter 5: Advanced Features, we'll go beyond the basics to allow you to fully master your Fire with a few extra features and tricks. Finally, in Chapter 6: Recommended Apps and Games, we'll recommend some fun educational apps and games for the little ones to get them started. Ready to get started with your Kindle Fire HD Kids' Edition? If not, we'd bet money that your kids are, so read on to get it unpacked and into their hands!
You bought a Mac! Let me be the first to tell you, your day is about to get much, MUCH easier. But before we get there, there's a bit of light house keeping. Yeah, yeah, yeah - that's all fine and good, but when do you get to play with your new machine? Mac's are great - they are powerful, streamlined and easy as heck to use - but your files? They're still on a PC and like it or not, you just spent 20+ years using Windows, so there are some adjustments to make.

That's what we're about to do. The accessories. The Apps. The file transfer. In the pages that follow, you'll learn all the stuff that matters, none of the stuff that doesn't and be ready to flash that shiny new Apple logo at your local coffee shop with pride.
