Samsung will introduce a cloud-based video games service to its premium TV's. It has signed a deal with Gaikai to use their streaming technology to let customers play games written for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 without having to own the consoles as announced at the E3 games trade show in Los Angeles.

Samsung said the service will be made available  on its smart hub environment on high end TV's released later in the year.

Samsung's vice president of electronics visual display business said: "Samsung is excited to deliver this revolutionary gaming experience that takes advantage of all the benefits of cloud-computing, all on the central screen of the home"

However cloud relies on high broadband speed, which in some areas is not up to the speeds needed to be able to run these services properly and could result in lag, disconnection, a poorer visual look or not run at all. It is advised to check your broadband speed through your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and compare it to the required speed asked by these services. If the service does work it is also a good idea to monitor how much bandwidth you are using or you could have a nasty shock from your Internet bill.

Apple's chinese manufacturing partner Foxconn has reportedly begun accepting orders to build an Apple Smart TV set according to Chinese news website 'Sina'. Sina claims the long rumoured iTV is currently in the "trial production stage," but no other details were given.


Earlier this month, reports say that Foxconn's CEO denied that his company would soon begin manufacturing a television for Apple. Apple was looking to enter the TV market with a HDTV that will reportedly look a lot like the company's current LED Cinema Display.

The Device is said to feature an aluminium casing, iOS, Siri voice controls and an iSight camera for FaceTime video chats.

Reports suggest that it will launch in 2014, but earlier reports claim this year.

Loiter Squad is a brand new series that is going to begin on the 25th of March on Adult Swim. Loiter squad comes from Odd Future, the group of rappers from Ladera California. Only 4 of the members of Odd Future are starring in the program, Tyler the creator, Jasper Dolphin, Taco Bennet, and Lionel Boyce. The program is a sketch comedy television series, and it will feature other members of Odd Future. The episodes themselves will only be 15 minutes in duration and will be very similar to Jackass, but with less death-defying stunts, and more comedy instead of brutality. This is a link to the trailer for 'Loiter Squad', I personally think that this show is going to be awesome! Although I am a fan of the group, and I enjoy their humour, others might not. I can also see this show making the group more popular for their music, the reason for this is because throughout the show there will be snippets of their music, which I think is incredible! They just sound so much different from all of the other rappers out there, mainly because they couldn't care what anybody thinks about them. For the people in the UK who want to watch this show, i'm sure that there will be a website out there which will allow you to watch it online, and if I find such a website, I will post it on this blog for all of you reading.
