The Playstation 4, code named Orbis, had more revealed about it with about 90 PDFs of official documentation released on Kotaku by a tipster. Rumors say the release will be timed to launch with the next-generation XBox later this year, but you know how rumors go, and how Sony is with hardware and deadlines. Allegedly it will have 8GB of memory, 2.2GB of video memory on an AMD R10XX card, 4x dual core AMD64 Bulldozer processors (which gives it 8 cores total), 4 USB 3.0 ports, 2 ethernet ports, a blue ray drive, 160 GB hard drive and HDMI and Optical output. The small HD is probably just the dev only model. The controller may stay the same as devs are working with dual shock controllers but there's a possibility of it having a touch screen since they're trying to emulate the Vita.

The Wii U is going to get its own version of the virtual console, so you can play your NES and SNES games on the fancy new hardware. The service will start this spring with a limited selection, but you'll get special pricing on the games if you already own Wii versions of the games. You can also download Balloon Fight for the NES as a 30th anniversary gift. Coming each month after that is: F-Zero, Punch Out, Kirby's Adventure, Super Metroid, Yoshi, Donkey Kong. Unsurprisingly, people are pissed at having to pay for a game they already paid for.

Pakistan is banning Call of Duty and Medal of Honor games for showing their country in a very poor light. I figured they already were banned. Meh.

Asteroid mining company Deep Space Industries (is it just me or does that sound like an EvE Corp name?) has announced plans to launch a fleet of Firefly (no, seriously) spacecraft as soon as 2015 to find asteroids rich with valuable minerals and bring them back. Their Dragonfly craft will then bring it back to Earth to be analyzed. They are hoping to be actively mining before the end of the decade and that these materials will help further humanity's development. Oh and let's not forget make their bank accounts sparkle with dolladollahbills y'all.

Atari has filed for bankruptcy. Which is amusing since really, the name seems like the only part of Atari that's really survived over the years. Really, this is Infrogrames going under, they just tried using the Atari name to get people to buy their stuff.  This really makes me sad because I'll probably never get another Rollercoaster Tycoon.

Researchers have managed to store computer data in DNA. They saved some Shakespeare books and a MP3 into a strand of DNA. This could eventually mean no more hard drives, just small tubes to store tons of data, if they can make it cheap enough. Right now it's insanely expensive, but so were blu-ray discs a few years ago.
