We Think The World of Youby J.R. Ackerley
View All Available Formats & Editions
We Think the World of You combines acute social realism and dark fantasy, and was described by J.R. Ackerley as "a fairy tale for adults." Frank, the narrator, is a middle-aged civil servant, intelligent, acerbic, self-righteous, angry. He is in love with Johnny, a young, married, working-class man with a sweetly easygoing nature. When Johnny is sent to prison for committing a petty theft, Frank gets caught up in a struggle with Johnny's wife and parents for access to him. Their struggle finds a strange focus in Johnny's dog—a beautiful but neglected German shepherd named Evie. And it is she, in the end, who becomes the improbable and undeniable guardian of Frank's inner world.

I honestly find the other reviewer's disgust and boredom incomprehensible. The characters in this novel, including the narrator Frank and the dog Evie, are complex, fallible creatures. I prefer people, and literary characters, like that. It is a somewhat disturbing story: Frank's unrequited passion for Johnny is displaced (ultimately erased) by his growing love for Johnny's dog. Frank mocks the working class characters for their funny East End accents, and he abhors the neglect and casual cruelty to which they subject Evie, but they in turn manipulate him into giving them money. It seems they use the hackneyed expression 'we think the world of you' to occlude and excuse every kind of oblivious meanness. In the end, though, Frank realises - with Evie's help - that Johnny, Millie (a marvellous comic character) and Tom are enmeshed in a set of heterosexual and class relations quite alien to him as a cultured, middle class gay man, and that 'thinking the world of' people is their way of negotiating that complexity. At the same time, it's a beautiful evocation of love between a man and a dog, including all the tribulations to which it brings him. So, far from being miserable or boring, it's comic, perceptive and charming, veering towards dark acknowledgement, in the end, of the costs of passionate love.
Not a single character I liked; not even the damn dog. Question: with a million homeless dogs, why do you have to fall in love with somebody else's? Soup can of advice: If you live in a little studio apartment with a mean cousin, don't get an aggressive German Shepherd. I made the stupid mistake of thinking the end would justify the miserable story, based on raves of "Masterpiece." Then threw the book in disgust. User's guide: This is more about unrequited Platonic love of an old queen for a young, undeserving hustler, who has a wife and four kids no less. Putridly weak narrator.

These characters run a cheap hotel/casino and are having an "aborathon" where for $40 you can have a good time and late term abortion with a coat hanger used like a corkscrew. Then the woman go have sex that night. There is something to insult everyone including a disgusting scene PLOT SPOILER of a man tied up, blindfolded, performing oral sex on a zombie fetus while it defecates on his face/mouth. It was something I could have missed.
The film had some good lines and potential, but concentrated too much on idiotic schlock value. The movie also includes graphic sex talk which is part of the comedy.

These are my reasons for rating this book 5 stars:
1. The insights are backed by empirical evidence,
2. Although the approach is scientific, the book is easy to understand,
3. It incorporates international perspectives.
The authors illustrate the 12 Elements with examples from the US, Brazil, Germany, India and other countries. The insights are practical and backed by empirical evidence gathered from 10 million employee and manager interviews from 114 countries. In this book employee engagement has been linked to business performance. The authors have compared the top-quartile and bottom-quartile business units for the Elements, and have measured the overall difference between engaged and actively disengaged employees. Throughout the book you will read results that link these differences to a variety of business metrics - productivity, profitability, absenteeism, turnover, shrink (the retailers' euphemism for theft), accidents, customer ratings, etc. I enjoyed the way in which the findings were presented. Each chapter starts with a situation where a company has problems related to an Element. The authors then present their research and findings. After that a "great" manager implements changes and saves the day.
This book is exceptionally well researched.Read more ›
If you have read First, Break All the Rules, chances are it was a long time ago. You are probably ready for a refresher if you read that book back in 1999 or 2000 as I did.
As before, the Gallup people have asked that reviewers not list the 12 elements. I think they are overly sensitive, but I'll honor their request.
Let me characterize the 12 elements instead: Each point relates to either a necessity for being able to do your job well, having a sense that people care that you come to work, feeling engaged by your work, and seeing a future in what you are doing. Employees who feel engaged in these dimensions usually stay longer, are less likely to be out sick, and perform at higher levels of productivity. After you see the list, you'll accept those conclusions, I'm sure.
Since the first book came out, Gallup has done a lot more interviews. One of the benefits of all hose millions of additional interviews is to provide extra information about how and why each element is important. I was pleased to see that the authors also draw on psychological and physiological research to help explain their findings.
But the best parts, for me, were the 12 case studies that were like mini-fables of the sort that Ken Blanchard likes to write . . . except these cases involve real people. The leaders make mistakes as well as do things right, and you get a sense of how hard it is to improve performance in an important employee dimension when your organization has been doing it badly for some time.Read more ›
However, I found much of this book a rehash of the material in "First, Break All the Rules". The ideas are important enough that I went ahead and forced my way through the book. However I was definitely disappointed that the "Long-Awaited Follow-Up" as the cover advertises didn't really contain anything dramatically new that was not already covered in "First, Break All the Rules".
The 12 elements are:
1) Ensuring your employees know what is expected not only in the tasks of their job, but in all of its ramifications and under a range of circumstances.
2) Provide your employees with the actual tools and resources they need to perform their job excellently. Don't make them scrounge, hoard, or steal to get their job done.
3) Do your best to let the employee use their best talents in their work. Fit the job to what they do best rather than making them fit themselves to get a job done.
4) Provide compliments, recognition, and public pats on the back weekly.
5) Foster an environment where people feel cared about as a person by other people.
6) Be sure employees understand a career path and are developing new skills.
7) Listen to employee opinions and implement the really good ones.
8) Show them how their work directly connects to the mission of the firm.Read more ›

Soros monkeys baselessly blame Southern tornados on…
Shorter Think Progress headline via VerumSerum: "Tornadoes bring death, justice to climate deniers."
Of course.
Never mind the facts:
US meteorologists warned Thursday it would be a mistake to blame climate change for a seeming increase in tornadoes in the wake of deadly storms that have ripped through the US south.
"If you look at the past 60 years of data, the number of tornadoes is increasing significantly, but it's agreed upon by the tornado community that it's not a real increase," said Grady Dixon, assistant professor of meteorology and climatology at Mississippi State University.
"It's having to do with better (weather tracking) technology, more population, the fact that the population is better educated and more aware. So we're seeing them more often," Dixon said.
But he said it would be "a terrible mistake" to relate the up-tick to climate change.
No matter. Being a Soros-funded smear merchant means never having to say you're sorry.
Via Doug Powers, Brian Williams — trolling for an Honorary Soros Monkey Award — laps up the eco-nitwittery.

Making Sense of Evolution: The Conceptual Foundations of Evolutionary Biology
Massimo Pigliucci, Jonathan Kaplan, quot;Making Sense of Evolution: The Conceptual Foundations of Evolutionary Biologyquot;
University Of Chicago Press | 2006 | ISBN: 0226668371, 0226668363 | 236 pages | File type: PDF | 1,4 mb
Making Sense of Evolution explores contemporary evolutionary biology, focusing on the elements of theoriesˇŞselection, adaptation, and speciesˇŞthat are complex and open to multiple possible interpretations, many of which are incompatible with one another and with other accepted practices in the discipline. Particular experimental methods, for example, may demand one understanding of selection, while the application of the same concept to another area of evolutionary biology could necessitate a very different definition.
Spotlighting these conceptual difficulties and presenting alternate theoretical interpretations that alleviate this incompatibility, Massimo Pigliucci and Jonathan Kaplan intertwine scientific and philosophical analysis to produce a coherent picture of evolutionary biology. Innovative and controversial, Making Sense of Evolution encourages further development of the Modern Synthesis and outlines what might be necessary for the continued refinement of this evolving field.

Skip to comments.Bill Clinton: Why doesnt anyone believe we were poor?
Posted on 06/24/2014 7:53:33 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has had a rough time of it ever since she asserted that both she and her husband were dead broke and struggled after leaving the White House in 2001. A few weeks before they left the White House, the Clintons were able to muster a cash down payment of $855,000 and secure a $1.995 million mortgage, Politifact observed. This hardly fits the common meaning of dead broke.
Clinton might have taken the public backlash over this minor gaffe in stride, but she didnt. Speaking with The Guardian over the weekend, Clinton again reasserted her credentials on the issue of income inequality. They dont see me as part of the problem, she insisted of those concerned with the growing income gap in the United States. Because we pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off, not to name names; and weve done it through dint of hard work.
This statement, too, roiled even Clinton allies who were forced by pangs of conscience to note that the Clintons have been taking advantage of financial planning strategies that only the wealthiest Americans use to avoid paying their full freight (a tax burden they believe others should pay, by the way).
You could be forgiven for thinking the Clintons are thin-skinned because, speaking to Meet the Press host David Gregory recently, former President Bill Clinton came to his wifes defense and asserted that it was factually accurate that his family was financially broken in the wake of his impeachment.
It is factually true that we were several million dollars in debt, Clinton said. Everybody no assumes that what happened in the intervening years was automatic. Im shocked by whats happened. Im shocked that people still want me to come give talks.
Shes not out of touch, Clinton added of his wife.
He would not go so far as to say criticism of his wifes comments has been unfair, but he did say that the focus of the public debate should be on his wifes favored policies and not her identity.
I think I had the lowest net worth of any American president in the 20th Century when I took office, he offered, unsolicited. The former president closed by saying that the real issue facing presidential aspirants should be whether you are out of touch because you are rich, not simply your current net worth.
The instinct among Democratic politicians to one-up each other by inaccurately asserting a claim to poverty is an inexplicable one. They are sacrificing authenticity for the sake of appealing to the Democratic primary electorate. However, as demonstrated by a variety of the most successful politicians that party has ever produced, the Democratic electorate is apparently sincerely interested in just who the poorest in their ranks is.
We'll trust our own lyin' eyes, thanks just the same BJ.
Basically we know you and the Hilldebeeste are liars.
Why wouldn't anyone believe Mr. "I-never-had-sex-with-that-woman-Miss-Lewinski" Clinton??
ROTFL! He not on plays the golden urinal, he's a standup comedian too! That crazy Willie.
Oh look, Bill, over there-—a sink!
Because NOBODY is that stupid
1) Clintons own words show his often expressed innate hostility to, and utter contempt for, the core principles of the American founding:
``If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the governments ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees. -- President Bill Clinton, August 12, 1993
``The purpose of government is to reign in the rights of the people - Bill Clinton during an interview on MTV in 1993
``We cant be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans that we forget about reality. -- President Bill Clinton, quoted in USA Today, March 11, 1993, Page 2A, ``NRA change: `Omnipotent to powerful by Debbie Howlett
When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly that they would work for the common good, as well as for the individual welfare However, now theres a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say theres too much freedom. When personal freedoms being abused, you have to move to limit it. Bill Clinton, April 19, 1995
2) Clinton inevitably pursued his own political advantage at the expense of American interests and national security. Here is just one of many possible examples:
It is well documented that Clinton and the Democrats took illegal campaign money from groups and individuals tied directly to the Chinese Peoples Republican Army. It is therefore not surprising that In January 1998 Clinton went against the advice of then-Secretary of State Warren Christopher and Pentagon experts by lifting long-standing restrictions against the export of American satellites to China for launch on Chinese rockets. Not only did he move control over such decisions from the more security-focused State Department to the Commerce Department, but he intervened in a Justice Department investigation of Loral Space & Communications, retroactively enabling Loral to sell critical missile technology to the Chinese. Interestingly enough, Clintons decision was made at the request of Loral CEO Bernard Schwartz, whose earlier $1.3 million campaign donation made him the single biggest contributor to the Democratic election effort.
The result, as stated eloquently by syndicated columnist Linda Bowles, was that the Democrats got money from satellite companies and from Chinese communists; China got supercomputors, advanced production equipment and missile technology; Loral got its satellites launched at bargain basement prices . . . and the transfer of sensitive missile technology gave China [for the first time] the capability of depositing bombs on American cities. Incidentally, Loral ultimately failed to benefit from this permanent injury to Americas security interests: in July 2003, the company filed for bankruptcy protection, and in order to raise cash was forced to sell its most profitable business a fleet of communications satellites orbiting over North America.
3) On two occasions, Clinton used military action for the specific purpose of distracting the American public from the fallout of the Lewinsky affair:
On August 20, three days after Clinton finally admitted publicly to the Lewinsky affair, the news media was poised to focus on that days grand jury testimony by Monica Lewinsky. That same morning, Clinton personally went on national television to gravely announce his bombing of a Sudanese chemical weapons factory, and a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan. It was the first time most Americans ever heard the name of Osama bin Laden. The factory bombing in Sudan killed an innocent night watchman, but accomplished little else. It later was proven that the plant was making badly needed pharmaceuticals for people in that poverty-stricken part of the world, but no chemical weapons.
Several months later, the U.S. Center for Nonproliferation Studies, part of the Monterey Institute of International Studies, stated: "...the evidence indicates that the facility had no role whatsoever in chemical weapons development." Kroll Associates, one of the world's most reputable investigative firms, also confirmed that there was no link in any way between the plant and any terrorist organization. As for the Afghanistan bombing, it failed to do any damage at all to bin Laden or his organization. Clintons action was accurately characterized by George W. Bush when he said right after 9-11: "When I take action, Im not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.
Clintons pointless and murderous military actions did not make Americans safer that day, although they did destroy an innocent life, and for all the good they did certainly could have been delayed in any case. But they did succeed in diverting media attention from Lewinskys grand jury testimony for a 24-hour news cycle, which was the main point. So I guess, they werent a total loss.
On December 16, 1998, on the eve of the scheduled House vote on his impeachment, Bill Clinton launched a surprise bombing attack on Baghdad. As justification for this exploit, he cited the urgent threat that Saddams weapons of mass destruction posed to America, and the need for immediate action. Almost immediately, the House Democrats held a caucus and emerged calling for a delay in the impeachment proceedings. House minority leader Dick Gephardt made a statement: "We obviously should pass a resolution by saying that we stand behind the troops. I would hope that we do not take up impeachment until the hostilities have completely ended."
Conveniently, a delay so near the end of the House term would have caused the vote to be taken up in the next session when the newly elected House membership would be seated with more Democratic representation, thereby improving Clintons chances of dodging impeachment.
The Republicans did, in fact, agree to delay the hearings, but only for a day or two. Amazingly, Clinton ended the bombing raid after only 70 hours -- once it became clear that in spite of the brief delay, the vote would still be held in the current session.
Once the bombing stopped, Clinton touted the effectiveness and importance of the mission. As reported by ABC News : We have inflicted significant damage on Saddam's weapons of mass destruction programs, on the command structures that direct and protect that capability, and on his military and security infrastructure, he said. Defense secretary William Cohen echoed the point: We estimate that Saddam's missile program has been set back by at least a year.
Whether or not one buys Clintons assessment of that mission, it is difficult to believe that its timing was so critical that it required commencement virtually at the moment the House was scheduled to vote on the impeachment. I think the most reasonable conclusion is that Clinton cynically deployed US military assets and placed military personnel in harms way for purely political reasons.
4) Clintons reckless sexual behavior was a threat to American national security:
Clinton and his supporters have been very effective in persuading large numbers of Americans that the Lewinsky scandal was only about sex. But I see a bigger issue here, because Clinton is on record as saying that he would have done anything to keep knowledge of the Lewinsky affair from becoming public.
To me, that statement raises a very serious question: What if, instead of sending her recorded Lewinsky conversations to Ken Starr, Linda Tripp had instead secretly offered them for sale, say, to the Chinese government? Or to the Russians? Or even to agents of Saddam?
What kind of blackmail leverage would those tapes have provided to a foreign government in dealing with America on sensitive trade, security or military issues? One of the few things Clinton ever said that I believe is that he would have done anything to keep the Lewinsky affair secret. Given his demonstrated track record of selling out American interests for personal or political gain (and there are more examples that I could have cited here), how far would he have gone in compromising Americas real interests in order to protect his own neck when threatened with blackmail?
Pretty far, I believe. Equally distressing is the prospect Clinton might, in fact, have succumbed to foreign black mail on other occasions in order to hide different sexual episodes that ultimately did not become public. There is no way to know, of course, but I prefer presidents for whom such a scenario is not a plausible possibility.
And dont even get me started on the war crime in Kosovo.
During Bill Clintons 1999 NATO-led war in Kosovo which according to some estimates cost as much as $75 billion we bombed Belgrade for 78 days, killed almost 3,000 civilians, and shredded the civilian infrastructure (including every bridge across the Danube.)
We devastated the environment, bombed the Chinese embassy, came very close to engaging in armed combat against Russian forces, and in general, pursued a horrific and inhumane strategy to rain misery on the civilian population of Belgrade in order to pressure Milosevic into surrendering.
Why did we do all that? The US did not even have an arguable interest in the Balkans, and no one ever tried to claim that Serbia represented any kind of threat to our nation or our interests.
But for months the Clinton administration had told us that Milosevic was waging a vicious genocide against Albanian Muslims, and needed to be stopped. The New York Times called it a humanitarian war. In March 1999 the same month that the bombing started Clintons State Department publicly suggested that as many as 500,000 Albanian Kosovars had been murdered by Milosevics regime. In May of that year, as the bombing campaign was drawing to a close, Secretary of Defense William Cohen lowered that estimate 100,000.
Five years after the bombing, after all the forensic investigations had been completed, the prosecutors at Milosevics War Crimes trial in the Hague were barely been able to document a questionable figure of perhaps 5,000 bodies and body parts. During the war, the American people were told that Kosovo was full of mass graves filled with the bodies of murdered Albanian Muslims. But none were ever found.
During the election cycle of 1992, George H.W. Bush lost his job after Bill Clinton hammered him relentlessly for having caused the worst economy of the last 50 years.
In fact, as CNNs Brooke Jackson has reported: Three days before Christmas 1992, the National Bureau of Economic Research finally issued its official proclamation that the recession had ended 21 months earlier. What became the longest boom in U.S. history actually began nearly two years before Clinton took office. See (See http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/10/31/jackson.recession.primer.otsc/).
By the same token, Clinton is generally perceived as having a stellar economic record during his own presidency, in spite of the fact that the economy was already starting to decline during the last year of his term after the stock market crashed in March 2000.
According to a report by MSNBC: The longest economic expansion in U.S. history faltered so much in the summer of 2000 that business output actually contracted for one quarter, the government said Wednesday in releasing a comprehensive revision of the gross domestic product. Based on new data, the Commerce Department said that the GDP the countrys total output of goods and services shrank by 0.5 percent at an annual rate in the July-September quarter of 2000. See: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3676690/ns/business-stocks_and_economy/t/gdp-figures-revised-downward/.
To a billionaire, the Clintons are poor, to the average citizen, the Clintons are rich ... all in the perspective.
I remember Jay Rockefeller at the height of Whitewater, " the Clintons came to Washington penniless and they will leave penniless."
It doesn't help that their daughter made a statement that only someone who is far removed from the concerns of ordinary citizens could make. The only way Chelsea could have grown up to be so out of touch is if her parents brought her up that way.
Put simply, people whose daughter takes privilege so much for granted that she can't understand why anyone would care about money are not poor.
Because you and your nominal wife tell self-serving lies every time you speak, and it is obvious that this is just another self-serving lie.
Because you have proven yourself a pathological liar.
Small correction: It's the People's Liberation Army, not "Republican" Army. Their Navy is called the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) and the Air Force is the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF).
Off the top of my head, when Bastard Bill was Governor, his salary was less than $40K a year. However, his expense account was over $500K a year.
Hillary, during that time, was involved in ripping off people in land deals, and Wall Street scams.
When they left the White House, they bought a mansion in New York that had a garage on it with some living space above it. They rented that out to the Secret Service for at least the cost of their mortgage.
Because "you did not have sex with that woman." Ya think?
Bill Clinton is a multimillionaire, owns multiple homes, takes advantage of loopholes to minimize taxes, and now we're told he hates Obama's guts.
Welcome to the Republican Party, Slick!
"I was the President!...I had it made.... Its that devil bitch in the blue dress that broke us"
Hell..they even wrote a song about us before Al Gore invented the Internet...Come on kids..hear me out...Now look!...(they even designed the album cover for us!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXy7qYAKrfc
From a guy who used to brag about how rich he was every chance he got, Rush did a parody on it LOL
I do! I believe he was a poor president.
Because you and your wife are proven notorious liars, Billy. Or what does "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky" mean?
Me too, a poor President and poor excuse for a human being.
first law of holes...
They're so poor they had to steal stuff out of the White House when they moved out.
Hillary, during that time, was involved in ripping off people in land deals, and Wall Street scams.
When they left the White House, they bought a mansion in New York that had a garage on it with some living space above it. They rented that out to the Secret Service for at least the cost of their mortgage.
Reminds me of the old joke: what do you get when you cross a crooked politician with a greedy lawyer? A. Chelsey
Maybe because you weren't and aren't poor?
Trailer trash, but not poor!
Long ago in a far way land, long before Vince Foster....
Remember when the Clintons bought that estate in NY with the 1.9 million mortgage? As I recall they scammed the government (legally) to pay for it by charging the Secret Service protection detail rent for the guest house in an amount sufficient to pay the mortgage payments.
That doesn't show up in his direct costs to the government but is part of the SS budget.
Such a deal. Really helped out since they were broke.
Speaking of holes, remember that he was claiming with Goodwill that his used underpants were worth $3.00 each?
They even grifted that Goodwill retard.
Because youare a pathological liar!!
Sleazy is as sleazy does
The Clintons were born poor white trash. Put some ice on it, BJ.
Hillary being outof touch has nothing to do with money. It is lifestyle. One or the other has been in elected office for much of their lives. You live on the taxpayers dime. You get housing food transportation great medical care, etc. On top of a pretty nice salary. You travel the world at the tax payers expense. When was the last time Hillary used a coupon to make a purchase at Walmart? NEVER. Yes she is out of touch with most normal American citizens...........
Bill Clinton: Why doesnt anyone believe we were poor?
Because we know you are both lying sacks of crap? That would be my guess..........
People who are several million dollars in debt don't qualify for houses worth several million dollars, do they?
I guess the Clintons have forgotten about the Occupy Wall Street 99 percenters.
And those are just off the top of my head!
The Clintons are pathological liars. They will lie, even when they do not have to (the White House Travel Office comes to mind.)
Yes, he went into office poor and left a multi-multi-millionaire. What does that tell you? Oh how I wish these two and their spawn would just go away. But we will never be rid of them till they shuffle off this mortal coil.
Bill Clinton: "Im shocked that people still want me to come give talks.
So am I, especially after seeing your grand jury deposition. How anyone could pay you money for your brazen lies is beyond me.
I'll drink to that.
The rats have gotten to the point where they truley believe thier own lies and are dumbfounded as to why you dont
I swear it required two moving vans to move the Clinton's belongings from the White House - yet the Clintons had only lived in a private residence for a tiny period in their married lives.
We know they stole $190,000 of items that were part of a 1993 U.S. Park Service White House renovation project.
According to the Washington Post, the Clintons began shipping furniture out of the White House a year before Clinton's term ended, which was questioned at the time by White House chief usher Gary Walters.
When the Clintons were confronted, White House counsel said the items were "personal gifts received by the Clintons prior to President Clinton assuming office." That was the second excuse. The first was that the furniture and other items had been acquired by the Clintons and their interior designer when in Little Rock. Yes, that was used as an excuse. The interior designer wouldn't return the Washington Post's calls.
However, government records show that was not the case, and more than one donor stated that an item was donated to the White House, not the Clintons.
It was grueling. GRUELING I say....
Old BJ had to give one extra speech in 2001 to pay for 4 yrs of Chelsea at Stanford.

Sony is sharing the PlayStation 4 with the world.
The Japanese electronics giant disclosed the existence of the new gaming system today, hyping the machine as a "supercharged PC" with the ability to effortlessly share interactive experiences, by instantly broadcasting video of gaming action or virtually handing out health potions to friends online.
"Today marks a moment of truth and a bold step forward for PlayStation," said Andrew House, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment.
Sony said the system will feature an eight-core processor that can juggle more tasks than the PlayStation 3 and be part of a new digital ecosystem that's "the fastest, most powerful gaming network."
"Our long-term vision is to reduce download times of digital titles to zero," said Mark Cerny, Sony's lead system architect on the PS4.
The PS4 is Sony's first major game machine since the PlayStation 3 went on sale in 2006.
Today's unveiling is Sony's attempt to steal the spotlight from rivals Microsoft and Nintendo, at least until Microsoft unveils its next Xbox in June, as expected, at the E3 video game expo in Los Angeles.
But one thing Sony neglected to do: show the actual device.
Instead, the two-hour event involved executives from Sony and its video game partners touting features and showing demonstration video on stage.
There was no word on price or availability, other than a flash on the screen saying "holiday 2013".
When the PlayStation 3 went on sale in the US on November 17, 2006, the 20 gigabyte model had a US$500 price tag and the 60 GB version went for US$600. They are now cheaper and come with more storage - US$270 for 250 GB and US$300 for 500 GB. Comparable models of Nintendo's Wii U and Microsoft's Xbox 360 both start at US$300.
Among the PS4's revisions is an updated controller that adds a touchpad and a "share" button. The controller also features a light bar, which means a new PlayStation camera can more easily track the device for motion control.
Sony also boasted at the New York launch event that the PS4 would work more seamlessly with its latest mobile gaming device, the PlayStation Vita, which debuted last year.
Among the games that were unveiled for the PS4 on Wednesday were the realistic racing simulator Drive Club, super-powered action sequel Infamous: Second Son, artsy puzzler The Witness and first-person shooter Killzone: Shadow Fall.
Last fall, Nintendo launched the next generation of gaming consoles with the Wii U, which comes with a tablet-like controller called the GamePad.
The controller allows two people playing the same game to have different experiences depending on whether they use the GamePad or a traditional Wii remote, which itself was revolutionary when it came out because of its motion-control features.
The original Wii has sold more units since its launch than both its rivals, but it has lost momentum in recent years as the novelty of its motion controller faded. Nintendo said it sold 3.1 million Wii Us by the end of 2012. It was a disappointing start for the first of a new generation of gaming systems.
In some ways, notably its ability to display high-definition games, the Wii U was just catching up to the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, the preferred consoles to play popular games like Call of Duty.
The PS4 is arriving amid declines in video game hardware, software and accessory sales. Research firm NPD Group said game sales fell 22 percent to US$13.3 billion in 2012.
With the launch of the PS4, Sony is looking to attract audiences who may have shifted their attention to games on Facebook, tablet computers and mobile phones.
All three console makers are trying to position their devices as entertainment hubs that can deliver movies, music and social networking as they try to stay relevant in the age of smartphones and tablets.
The PlayStation online network will have access to Sony's video and music services, as well as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, with paid subscriptions to those services. People will also be able to access Facebook.
Beyond games, the PlayStation 4 will let people create animation in 3D using a Move motion controller - all in real time.

Obama vs. Romney: Travel Showdown
As Obama and Romney near the election countdown, it's time to answer the question: Who can lay claim to the better travel destinations? Let the debate begin with our city vs. city showdown.
Obama was Born in:
It's August 1961. Ike is president. The Berlin Wall has just gone up. And in Hawaii's capital of Honolulu, Barack Hussein Obama II is born at the Kapiolani Hospital for Women & Children. In January 2009, Barack Obama was sworn in as America's first president born in Hawaii. In true presidential style, Obama has played golf at Olomana Golf Links and Royal Hawaiian Country Club, both on Oahu.
Romney was born in:
It's March 1947. The Baby Boom is going strong! And in Detroit, Willard Mitt Romney is born at Harper Hospital. In June 2011, Romney announced his run for the 2012 Republican presidential ticket, becoming the first Mormon to win a major-party presidential nomination. Today, delve into Detroit's rich auto past with a tour of the Ford Rouge Factory.
Obama Grew up in:
In 1967, 6-year-old Barack moved with his family to Indonesia. The young Barack initially lived in Jakarta, and attended Indonesian language schools until the age of 10. In the 1970s, Jakarta got a face-lift: A city-wide effort rehabilitated roads and bridges, encouraged the arts, and led to new schools and hospitals. Today, Jakarta stands as Indonesia's economic, cultural and political center -- with some really great food.
Romney Grew up in: Bloomfield HillsRomney grew up in Bloomfield Hills, MI, 20 miles from Detroit. Romney's dad was the president of a big auto company, and later the governor of Michigan. Today, explore Cranbrook Institute of Science (for natural history), Crankbrook Art Museum (for contemporary art), Oakland Hills Country Club (6 US Opens hosted here) and, pictured here, Cranbrook House & Gardens (the jaw-dropping home of an old newspaper mogul). 960 1280
Punahou School
Obama Went to:
In 1971, 10-year-old Obama returned to Honolulu to live with his mom's parents. He got a scholarship to attend Punahou School, a private prep school, and graduated in 1979. Today, Punahou stands as the largest independent school in the US. In 2006, it was ranked the "greenest" school in America. And Sports Illustrated has ranked the school's sports program as the best in the country. Not too shabby!
Punahou School
Cranbrook Schools
Romney Went to:
In the seventh grade, Romney was enrolled at the private Crankbrook Schools in Bloomfield Hills, and later graduated in June 1965. Spanning 319 acres, Cranbrook was established by newspaper magnate George Booth in 1905. A New York Times architecture critic called the campus "one of the greatest campuses ever created anywhere." Such distinction draws visitors from all over the world.
Cranbrook Schools
Columbia University
Obama Went to:
In 1981, Obama enrolled at Columbia University in NYC, where he majored in political science, with a specialty in international relations, and graduated in 1983. Today, enjoy a self-guided tour of the campus, on Manhattan's Upper West Side, exploring points of interest such as Low Library (the vestibule and rotunda) and Avery Hall, known as the world's greatest architecture library.
Columbia University
Brigham Young University
Romney Went to:
In 1971, Romney earned a BA in English from Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. Owned and operated by the LDS Church, BYU is America's largest religious university. Head to the top of Spencer W. Kimball Tower -- at 12 stories, it's the highest building in Provo -- for great views of BYU, Provo and the mountains surrounding Utah County.
Brigham Young University
Harvard Law School
Obama Went to:
In 1988, Obama enrolled at Harvard Law School. At the end of his first year, he was tapped as an editor of the Harvard Law Review -- and became the first African-American to hold that distinction. Obama catapulted to national attention. Today, Harvard Law is the oldest continuously-operating law school in the US (it was established in 1817).
Harvard Law School
Harvard Business School
Romney Went to:
Romney earned an MBA and JD from Harvard University. Romney's passion was business; he graduated in the top 5% of his biz school class, and soon joined a consulting firm. The 40-acre Harvard Business School campus is located in the Boston neighborhood of Allston, across the Charles River from the main Harvard campus in Cambridge.
Harvard Business School
Trinity United Church
Obama married at:
After graduating Columbia, Obama moved to Chicago to work as a community organizer. Later, after graduating Harvard, he returned to work for a law firm. That's where he met a young lawyer named Michelle, and the rest is history. They married in 1992 at Trinity United Church of Christ, and took a honeymoon road trip from San Francisco through Big Sur and Carmel.
Trinity United Church
Salt Lake Temple
Romney married at:
In 1969, Mitt married his high school sweetheart, Ann, at the Salt Lake Temple. The church took 40 years to build, and was officially dedicated in April 1893. The temple's design is meant to evoke Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, and is oriented in the direction of the ancient city. Because of its status as a site sacred to Mormons, it is not open to public tours. Mitt and Ann honeymooned in Hawaii.
Salt Lake Temple
The Obamas lived in:
The Obamas' 2 girls were born in Chicago and later attended a private, co-ed day school. The Windy City holds plenty of kid-friendly attractions. Kids love the skyscrapers (can't miss Willis Tower), Lincoln Park Conservatory (great botanical garden) and Navy Pier (the Ferris wheel is reason enough). Plus, enjoy views of the Chicago River in downtown.
Belmont, MA
The Romneys lived in:
Belmont is a quiet New England town. As a young professional, Romney and his wife raised their 5 sons in "The Town of Homes," as Belmont is called. Today, enjoy a leisurely family outing to Habitat Education Center and Wildlife Sanctuary -- fret not, the 93-acre urban oasis offers plenty of fun, including more than 2.5 miles of gentle trails, winding through evergreen forests and meadows.
Belmont, MA
Martha's Vineyard
Obama Vacations on:
President Obama skipped a summer vacation this election year. But in years past, the First Family has enjoyed some downtime on the island of Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts. The posh summer colony is home to a year-round population of 15,000 people. President Obama has enjoyed golf at Farm Neck Golf Club, and a bike ride with his daughter Malia through Manuel F. Correllus State Forest, both on the island.
Martha's Vineyard
La Jolla, CA
Romney Vacations in:
In recent years, the Romneys had an oceanfront home in San Diego's La Jolla district. This idyllic, seaside resort town showcases a dramatic view: rugged and sandy coastline where wild seals congregate. La Jolla is also home to great golf (at Torrey Pines Golf Course), the Museum of Contemporary Art and great beaches like La Jolla Cove, popular for swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving.
La Jolla, CA
Ben's Chili Bowl
Obama Chows Down at:
What does a president-elect eat on his first Saturday afternoon in DC? In January 2009, Obama headed on over to Ben's Chili Bowl, a veritable DC landmark since it opened in 1958, to order a … half-smoke chili dog and cheese fries, yum! Obama is no slouch in the kitchen, either. He's told 60 Minutes he's made chili, cheese toast, tuna fish and omelets for his family.
Ben's Chili Bowl
Hudson's Smokehouse
Romney Chows Down at:
OK, Romney has chowed down at a lot of places since hitting the campaign trail. Here, he stops by Hudson's Smokehouse, a mom-and-pop style BBQ joint in South Carolina. Romney reportedly likes peanut butter-and-honey sandwiches, plus healthy choices for the road like hummus and pita. And can he cook? Well, Fox News Sunday filmed Romney cooking pancakes one time -- does that count?
Hudson's Smokehouse
Grove Park Inn Resort
Obama campaigned at:
Sometimes a change of scenery does a candidate good. In 2008, while campaigning in North Carolina, Obama stopped by a fundraising dinner at the Grove Park Inn Resort. Obama liked the resort, in the Blue Ridge Mountains area, so much that, after election, he returned with First Lady Michelle for a romantic spring getaway.
Grove Park Inn Resort
Romney campaign started in:
From CEO of the 2002 Winter Olympics to that of 2 companies, Romney transitioned to public office in 2003, and became Massachusetts' 70th governor. Now comes his biggest bid: Romney's presidential campaign headquarters got their start on Commercial Street in Boston. The area's just a few blocks from historic landmarks such as the Old North Church and the Paul Revere House.

Atlanta Botanical Garden, AtlantaTake a 600-foot-long canopy walk among the branches of oaks, hickories and poplars while looking down on native azaleas, camellias, hydrangeas, perennials and bulbs.
