Sony to release new PlayStation 4 bug fix


Sony is busy squashing performance issues on its PlayStation 4 console. The latest update is said to "improve system software stability during use of some features, games, and apps."

Version 2.02 update is the second update from Sony in the past week. The first update fixed issues with the console's Rest Mode. It reportedly refused to wake the machine up after being put in standby mode. The update is reportedly out in the UK and the North American release is expected to come soon. It is a 217 MB update.

Google talks Hodor, helps you woo your partner


Google's infusing a bit of humour into its Search app with its latest update. If you've been missing Game of Thrones and are bummed that Hodor isn't in the next season of the show, just say "Hodor" into the Google Search app and it'll say it right back with one hearty "Hodor!"

If you have absolutely no clue what we're talking about, the other new features infused into the Google app include asking it to feed you a love quote, flip a coin, and roll a six-sided die. The update is in the middle of being rolled out.
