Alright, it’s official, my
XBox 360
just died. I’m having the infamous 3 flashing red lights. This isn’t the first time my
XBox 360 has had this problem, but before, unplugging the machine, removing the
hard drive and memory cards, giving it some time, and booting back up used to fix. However, this time, nothing could save my XBox.
The game that sealed its fate? Dynasty Warriors. At the lame ass title screen. Not even the CPU intensive game portion. Screw you Microsoft.
Microsoft is sending out a box, and I’ll have to send in my XBox for repairs. Lord only knows how long it will take to get a new one.
Yeah, I’m pissed.
I’m apologize to everyone I laughed who had these problems. Mmm these words taste good.

Now you can officially boot Windows XP Service Pack 2 on your Intel Mac thanks to Apple’s Boot Camp.
Apple Boot Camp will let you dual boot both OS X Tiger (10.4) and Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Home or Professional) on yourIntel Mac.
Boot Camp was initially slated for 10.5 (code named Leopard), however, was released early in public beta in response to the $13,000 contest to boot Windows on a Mac.
Boot Camp will only work on the new Intel Macs and will only boot the full versions of XP (purchased seperately) — no upgrade or Media Center edition.
Boot Camp will also create a CD of all the Windows device drivers you’ll need to get your Mac performing at its best.
Awesome! Now just as soon as they fix the issues with the first round of MacBooks, I’ll be chucking my Dell.

Contrary to our previous thoughts, and indicating websites, it looks like the consumer level Windows Vista OS will be delayed until January 2007. Good news is that business customers should be receiving the new OS as expected in November of this year. Microsoft plans to release six versions of the new OS: two for business, three for consumers, and one for emerging markets. The names of these products will be: Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows Vista Starter.

As a blogger, I love being part of the rumor mill and spreading this kind of crap. So according to the Inquirer, clearly a reliable source based on their name alone, Microsoft Windows Vista eats up 800MB of RAM all by its lonesome just to idle.
According to the source, Windows Vista runs okay with 1 GB of RAM, but at least 2 GB is recommended. Wow we’ve come a long way. Additionally, Windows Vista requires 7 GB of hard drive space to install.
This is all based off an internal version of Beta 2 of Vista. Rumors point to the Windows Vista Release Date to be at the end of November.
