Microsoft stated on their website they are going to be ending support for the Original xbox games. After April 15th users will not be able to play games such as halo or halo 2 on xbox live.
"This isn't a decision we made lightly, but after careful consideration, it is clear this will provide the greatest benefit to the Xbox Live community," Whitten said. "And as we look down the road, we'll continue to evolve the service with features and experiences that harness the full power of Xbox 360. To reach our aspiration, we need to make changes to the service that are incompatible with our original Xbox v1 games."
As we all know chinese knock offs are starting to invade every product market. Apple, Nintendo, sony, Gucci, and nike have all fell victim to the cloned versions of them selves. They have made millions, if not billions, of dollars cloning and selling goods to unexpected people. First it was the ipod, then the Itouch, and now... the Iphone.
Well not exactly the iphone... but similar...
It floats like an iphone but stings like a Android.
You would never guess what it is called.The "aphone"...
256 mb rom, 130 mb ram, 2 megapixel camera, Has a 3.5 in screen, wifi 802.11 b/g built in, Runs on Android 1.5, and does NOT support 3g.
As we can see in the video, the screen is slow and not responsive, and the video lags like a snail ...
The ZM-NC2000 is designed to be "aerodynamic" and a noise reducer. This baby is designed with fine curvature and great cooling performance. It was made with a 3mm thick aluminum panel, a Rubber Grip Strip, and two fans that blow air out. Normal coolers suck the hot hair below the notebook but this one blows up for optimum cooling. It is powered by the notebooks usb, but could be powered externally with the right adapter. The best part of all is the fan control. You can control the speed of the fans with the control on the side panel.
It costs roughly about $55... not bad for a really good cooler. Best if bought with a new laptop.
Car powered by a hydrogen fuel cell! Comes with tamiya's trf 416 carbon fiber chassis. 2 hydrogen cells can carry 13L of hydrogen. wheels, motor, speed controller, receiver and transmitter are sold separately and are not included with the kit... they can be found in hobby stores and the internet. Other then that... Its pretty dam cool!
Company of heros is an real time strategy game (rts) game that came out in sept 2006. It gets its cues from Saving private Ryan, and you will notice that right from the beginning. The game offers realistic visuals and game-play. The game starts off with the invasion of Omaha Beach during wwII. You play as able company and start by taking the beaches. The story is linear. As it progresses you get more and more abilities. Constructing bases, gathering resources, and invading enemy ground is some of its main features. Some missions also require you to hold your ground and defend your territory by building mines, tank traps, at guns. You can order recon, air strikes and troop deployment via air planes. You are allowed to garrison any building. This means you can put snipers. heavy machine gun crews, and infantry in any buildings. On top of the excellent game play you can also play online in multiplayer battles against other people around the world.

It kind of reminds me of the apple remote. It has the simple yet elegant design and it comes packed with a qwerty keyboard. Too bad you can only use it for boxee... or can you?

Knowing how expensive apple is, it could cost anywhere from $500 -$900. Rumors suggests one could watch movies, read book, listen to music, and surf the tubes on this baby.Some say it will come out late 2010 and others suggest 2011+. But the only problem is that Apple denies its existence. We know how popular the amazon kindle is, but If this does come out, it could take a chunk out of the laptop and ebook market. Even the name sounds very appleish. Who knows it might be even called the islate. We will have to wait and see what 2010 brings us. For more details on this, click here.
