Inside Microsoft's 'New Xbox Experience'

MS reinvent wheel shock

In 1954, the introduction of color TV heralded the dawn of a new era in entertainment. On November 19, more than 50 years after that dramatic shift, a new era in home entertainment begins with the New Xbox Experience, as millions of Xbox 360 consoles transform in an instant through the power of software.

too many movies

They've been watching too many films like Minority Report and The Imposter.. everyone on a databse tagged with chips or all pervasive retina scanners and the world is happy cos there's no crime ,unemployment or want.. well not for the people with eyes at least..

maybe they want to watch 1984 or THX1138 see what the other side of the coin can look like..

Colonel: Bowman army comms 'astonishingly bad'

not suprised

while working on the ATE test rigs for..

well..

not sure.. thought it might have been some sort of radio..

it was a royal ordinance project and they wouldn't tell us what it was..

army stuff hush hush pip pip big moustache..

anyway every time one of the loaded circuit boards failed the passive resistance test we were told to increase the failure tolerance, where most companies wouldn't allow more than 5% some of these were running at 50% and we were told not to test certain components as they failed so badly.

this was about 15 years ago.. and if any other military projects were tested with the same kind of rigour.. like the bowman

'BTW, I strongly suspect it is possible to exceed the speed limit on that shown road.'

seriously it fucking isn't...

behind the camera the road bends blindly to the left with a wall to your left and a junction emerging from the right.. the junction is obscured by a surf hire shop.. after the junction we have a straight bit of road for about 150 yards with parked cars down the right, pavement on the left, after that there as a very sharp bend to the right and the road continues to be tight for 2 cars and very twisty until you get to the next town...

in the picture where the red car is that's just big enough for 2 cars, then it opens up for 50 years then a bend right with walls each side and not enough room for 2 cars.. let alone all the VW camper vans.. the road after that it pretty straight but narrow with passing places until you get out of the vilage.. where there's a very tight left hand bend..

lack of speed doesn't make it any safer though.. where the bike is on the right is where you come staggering out of the pub right into the road..

cars use the same amount of gas as 10 years ago because despite the increases in efficiency in the engine department, cars are now twice the weight with strengthening bars and airbags to meet govt targets on safety.

now they're eyeing set top boxes?? but aren't they pushing the whole "switch of your standard television set and watch something less boring instead on digital"?

digital radios.. what do they consume compared to stuff we've had for the last 60 years?

I'm not some neo-luddite, but (there it is), what do we really get out of it? Better sound quality so you can here the inanities of radio 1 in clearer stereo? 999 channels of repeats? Hands up if you've seen every episode of wheeler dealers or road wars at least twice.

if they were even remotely serious about this then they'd regulate all electrical equipment to have an off switch instead of standby, not as well as.. how about having a mobile phone charger where the input to the primary transformer was only active if there was a phone attached to it. just something to cut the electickery to the whole device when not in use. It's not hard.
