In response to the devastating terror attacks in Paris, the French government may pass a series of bills severely limits the online freedom of its citizens during declared states of emergency.

The French newspaper Le Monde acquired the leaked Ministry of Interior documents that outline key legislature that compromises the online privacy of its citizens. According to the publication, there are two separate bills that have different ranges of severity.

The first bill calls for all free and shared Wi-Fi connections to be forcibly closed during a state of emergency. The idea behind this is to disrupt terrorist communications and make it easier for police and officials to track suspects. While open Wi-Fi networks are generally more insecure, police have a hard time pinpointing the location of users tethered to free hotspots.

After years of waiting, Mojang's absurdly popular voxel-based block-building sim is finally making its way to Nintendo's beleaguered Wii U console.

When Microsoft bought Mojang for $2.5 billion, Nintendo gamers pretty much gave up hope on ever seeing Minecraft ported over to the Wii U. Today the Redmond-owned dev announced the impossible--well, the improbable given the long wait--news that the sandbox builder is indeed releasing for the Wii U, and it'll be available in 10 days time. The only caveat is the price, which is a pretty steep $29.99.

Unlike other ports of the game, the Minecraft Wii U Edition sports a feature that's unique to the Nintendo platform. Mojang notes that the Wii U flavor supports off-TV play on the Wii U gamepad, meaning players can continue playing the game even if someone else is watching the TV. The Lego-like sim also features multiplayer with up to four players in split-screen play and eight friends online.

With its decision to nix PS2 game playback on the PS4 and force gamers to re-buy PS2 games they already own, Sony has caught a lot of flak from the gaming community--and rightly so. Despite the stigma attached to Sony's nostalgia tax business model, the PS4's emulation does refresh old PS2 games to upscaled 1080p graphics, and it's interesting to see how well certain games have aged.

The PlayStation 2 era is filled with some of the most impressive titles in the history of video games, but it's fair to say that some of these experiences may not have aged well in the graphics department. One of the most universally lauded games of the PS2 era, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, goes under the microscope in a new side-by-side comparison that shows how impressive the PS4's upscaled emulation really is.

You'll notice right away that the graphics are indeed more crisp and defined, but also bear in mind that this is full emulation and not an HD remaster. They're no extra bells or whistles--the game is a 100% mirror reflection of its PS2 counterpart regarding content. Of course, this bit of footage is just a cinematic scene and doesn't show off any actual gameplay, but you'll still get the picture.

To help pilots and other personnel integrate the F-35 Lighting II fleet into operation, Full Mission Simulators at the Hill Air Force Base are using virtual reality and other high-tech tools to improve training and logistics.

The FMS system features a 360-degree visual display system and replicates all F-35 sensors and characteristics that are in a real cockpit. Military officials aim to give pilots a more realistic approach to learn controls before being sent into combat missions.

"The F-35 is going to be an incredible advancement in our capability as an air force, and the Full Mission Simulators present an environment to adequately challenge our pilots as they prepare for combat," said Lt. Col. George Watkins, Commander of the 34th Fighter Squadron at Hill Air Force Base.

It wasn't too long ago when Turing Pharmaceuticals' CEO cranked up the price on off-patent drug Daraprim, mostly used for people with AIDS and cancer, by a huge 5000%. Now, Martin Shkreli has said he wishes he raised it higher.

Shkreli said: "I could have raised it higher and made more profits for our shareholders, which is my primary duty". During the Thanksgiving holiday, Turing released a press release saying the company had seen the error in its ways, and would be reducing the cost of Daraprim. But, it won't be doing that at all. Turing has said it will offer hospitals a 50% discount on the medicine (still up 2500%).

This is where it gets worse, with Shkreli adding: "My shareholders expect me to make the most profit. That's the ugly, dirty truth. I'm going to maximize profits. That's what people [in healthcare] are afraid to say".

At this year's PlayStation Experience, Sony and Square Enix ignited a firestorm of hype, anticipation and excitement by showcasing the first-ever gameplay footage of the Final Fantasy VII Remake. The trailer created an explosion of activity on Twitter and Facebook, with millions of gamers ahh-ing in unison, making for a kind of universal celebration across the collective gaming world. However, a new development may extinguish that rampant hype-storm, and ensure gamers have to wait quite a bit before the game is released in its entirety.

Square Enix's own Tetsuya Nomura and Yoshinori Kitase confirm that Final Fantasy VII Remake will be split into multiple games rather than a final release. "If we tried to stuff the whole game into one release, some part of the game would have to appear as digests. We'd have to remove some contents from the game, and it would be difficult to add more to the game. Considering that a full remake of the original game must be achieved, we have decided to split the game into episodes," said Tetsuya Nomura in an interview with Famitsu.

"From the beginning, we have considered it impossible to remake FF7 into one single game," adds Square Enix's Yoshinori Kitase. "Taking the No.8 street shown in the video this time, even just this is already highly dense. If we are to remake the content of the original version at that quality, it would have been impossible to do with a single release."

According to research firm TrendForce, the VR market will be worth a huge $70 billion by 2020, a market that includes both the VR hardware, and software.

TrendForce said that VR hardware will be worth around $20 billion by 2020, but the software side of things is where the money will be made, with an estimated $50 billion by the end of the decade. TrendForce expects to see VR generate around $6.7 billion of revenue in 2016, with most of it coming from the sales of VR headsets, like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.

The research firm's wearable device analyst, Jason Tsai, said: "These explosive growth projections actually do not sufficiently reflect just how hot the VR industry is right now. The figures do not include the value of non-commercial uses of VR technology. For example, the industry is currently pushing the development of free software and do-it-yourself apps. While these projects do not immediately generate revenue for the developers, they have a vital role in the promotion market growth and innovations".

Designed through not-for-profit organization 'One Education' by CEO Rangan Srikhanta and his staff, this brand new product is called the Infinity and it's a modular laptop (or tablet) designed for educational purposes.

Aimed at school-aged children, you can find Infinity on IndieGoGo, aiming to reach an overall goal of $50,000. Currently sitting at $18,452 funded thanks to 76 backers with 33 days remaining, a donation of $269 will earn one of these products for yourself.

Set up primarily as an educational tool, Srikhanta has allowed people to purchase a "Give One, Get One" pack, charging $499 for users to receive a device themselves while donating the other to a needy child. Running on Linux, Windows or Android, you can pick one up for yourself or a child in need here.

Sony has just announced an unlimited streaming plan over 12 months for PlayStation Now, which is "less than half of what a subscriber would pay in month-to-month subscription fees alone", reports Polygon.

The company announced the new plans at its PlayStation Experience event, with the new plan going on sale on Tuesday. Up until now, PlayStation Now has cost $19.99 per month or $44.99 for three months, so this new plan allows for a yearly subscription at a reduced cost. Sony adds that the annual subscription is a limited-time offer, but didn't state when the offer would expire.

PlayStation Now has been available since May on all PlayStation platforms, with the 2015 model Blu-ray player from Sony in the US, and select smart TV models from the company in the US and Canada. We suggest if you want to jump on this, you do it now, as the deal could stop at any time.

It seems as though Intel is in some trouble with its new Skylake processors, like the new Core i7-6700K, with reports that they're bending under pressure from third-party CPU coolers.

Some CPU coolers are putting too much pressure on the Skylake-based CPUs and the socket on the motherboard, causing damage. The problem begins when shipping or moving a PC, as well as other general shocks and movement - putting pressure on the mount point, bending the CPU. This can cause the pins on the motherboard to be damaged, which as you can imagine, is not good at all.

Intel talked with Tom's Hardware, confirming that their Skylake processors are thinner than previous designs, adding that they are looking into the issue as we speak. Cooler Master reached out to us today, saying: "Cooler Master has been at the forefront of Cooling Technology since its inception. With the Cooler Master designed heat-sink technology in your coolers, you are getting the best standards of thermal cooler in the world. Every cooler we ship meets Cooler Master's highest standards for providing incredible performance, regardless of the design or model".
