You probably recall that two days ago, when the new Xbox Experience launched, sadly, about 300 Sony Pictures films were unavailable for Netflix Watch Instantly on NXE, thus quashing your hopes of streaming The Karate Kid series. At the time, it seemed possible that missing titles were due to the fact that Xbox 360 manufacturer Microsoft and Sony are direct competitors. Well, according to a Sony spokesperson, the problem isn't specific to the Xbox, nor ...

If you wouldn't mind looking up from that avatar creation screen for a second -- yes, we're aware of how much that t-shirt selection means about you as a person -- you might notice that your Xbox 360 is dead. At least, a few hapless souls on the Xbox forums seem to think NXE is to blame for such atrocities. Numerous folks are reporting variously bad red ring configurations, random freezing and a huge pile ...

ΔΕΙΤΕ ΤΟ VIDEO! Δεν είχε λόγους ιδιαίτερους ο δημοσιογράφος Πάσχος Μανδραβέλης [του οποίου η επάρκεια και εντιμότητα αλλά και ο μη-φανατισμός δεν αμφισβητούνται] για να μιλήσει με τον τρόπο που τον ακούσαμε χθες βράδυ στις ειδήσεις του τηλεοπτικού “Σκάι”. Δηλαδή, η ανάλυσή του ήταν λογική και δεν χρειαζόταν και πολύ μυαλό για να καταλάβεις ότι οι [...]

Filed under: Private equity, RecessionHarvard is an easy target for the woes of our economy. Its business school produced George W. Bush, the fellow who's presided over the current economic catastrophe, and Rick Wagoner, the CEO of the largest automobile maker who's led its stock down 95% in the last eight years and now wants $25 billion worth of taxpayer money to keep the millions rolling into his bank account. But Harvard had these folks ...

Citysearch has received its first major update/facelift since it added video in May of 2007. The new beta site went live last night (was too tired to write about it then) and I’ve just played with it for about 15 minutes. I did however have a chance to speak with Citysearch CEO Jay Herratti last week about the redesign and new features. There’s also a new mobile site (or an update) that’s launching in parallel, ...

Times are tough, and nothing is funny, but sometimes the “real” God (the Economy) plays an amusing prank on various fools who bet on the fake god: “Oral Roberts University will lay off about 100 employees, days after it agreed to a near-$450,000 separation agreement with its former president who resigned amid a spending scandal. The layoffs represent roughly 10 percent of the university’s work force.” PS: You don’t really need to go to “university” ...

From joystiq.com:[QUOTE]Our Netflix streaming queues just got considerably shorter on the eve of the NXE launch. Acting on a tip, we popped into our Netflix account and sure enough, our "Instant Queue" had a new "Notes" column with an oft-repeated, red notice: "Not available on Xbox." Logging onto Xbox Live (with an NXE account) confirmed that these titles were no longer available for streaming on Xbox 360.We've found a common thread! All of the affected ...

Me encanta jugar con la fotografía. Ya he hecho experimentos de larga exposición, de HDR, de macro, o de rayos, y ahora me quiero meter un poco en esta técnica, que más que tenga que ver con la cámara de fotos como tal, se puede "trucar" con un pequeño manejo del Photoshop. Se trata de engañar al ojo haciéndo parecer una escena real como si ésta fuera una miniatura, como si la foto hubiera sido ...

I've got a story i the most recent weekly Variety that sprang out of a conversation I had with an editor where he noted how it's been widely reported what a drain Midway, and its debts to National Amusements, have been on Sumner Redstone's financial structure. What isn't as clear, he said, is "Why?" When Sumner Redstone moved to take control of Midway four years ago, the company seemed to have promise. "Midway is clearly ...

One of the most intriguing features of Microsoft's New Xbox Experience is the ability to install and launch games from the Xbox 360's hard drive. Our own tests have proven the feature has made trawling Fallout 3's Wasteland that much more seamless, but Binge Gamer has set up the first beta-tested chart to denote just how much, showing (if currently somewhat anecdotally) improvements on the order of 30 percent to, simply, "a lot faster." So ...
