Update: Umminger claims it was "just a typo".
Original story: It’s about time employees of major video game companies learned that they can’t talk about unannounced products on their CV. The harsh reality is: someone will find it.
SCEA software engineer Frederick Umminger is the latest to fall foul of the common quandary, outright confirming the PlayStation 4 in his public Linked In profile. While we’ve been hearing rumours about Sony’s next system for a while, it’s the first time we’ve seen it explicitly referred to as the PS4.
Umminger has supposedly been busy maintaining “voice chat libraries for the PS4” over the past couple of years. He provided a similar service for the Vita.
And that’s all Umminger is willing to share at the moment. We suspect after a short trip to Jack Tretton’s office, this information will be quietly removed.

Who needs bad sales and duff games when you have CVs?
@PikminMonster The source of all video game leaks!
Haha, it's already been removed.
@Mayoman95 Yep. The meeting with Jack Tretton probably went well, then!
Sorry, but what is a CV? D:
What pikmaniac said. If it was a cover letter for his resume while job hunting that would be something. Think I'll go stick the Xbox720 in my resume now, who'll know if it's true or not?
roll on ps4!
@pikmanica @rjejr: CV stands for Curriculum Vitae. There you go. All clear now. Kidding. Basically, a curriculum vitae is just a mega-beefed up resume. Think of a CV as Chris Redfield from RE5 and a resume Chris Redfield from RE4. It goes into much more details regarding education, projects, jobs, and skill sets. I could be wrong, but I think it's a newer thing that is slowly taking over resumes in a few particular job markets.
