Microsoft Moving Into Chip Design With Xbox Next

Posted by simoniker on from the onward-and-upward dept.

adamsmith_uk writes "According to ZDNet, Microsoft will more actively participate in chip design for the next version of its Xbox gaming console, tentatively called Xbox Next. By switching from using relatively standard parts to more customized silicon, the company can better optimize its game console, due in 2005. At the same time, the move potentially gives the company a toehold in a completely new market."

    "I dunno," Cmdr Taco said to me. "I'm into some pretty kinky shit."

    "That's okay, I can handle it," I told him. "As long as it involved me coming in, on, or around you - you sexy, flabby, pale hunk of bloated man, you." How bad could it be? I had done it all - S&M, fecal, you name it.

    But nothing could have prepared me for the horrors I experienced that night. I mean, there's kink and then there's kink. He actually removed the uterus from a freshly-killed cow and shoved it up his ass. Then he made me suck off a young black man and snowball the spooge into his anus.

    The cow uterus became impregnated. Nine months ater Cmdr Taco gave anal birth to a black half-man, half-cow. He named it Michael Sims and gave it a job at slashdot.

    "X-Rated" - The movies I made of your mother getting gang raped by niggers.
    "X-treme Closeup" - of her anus in said move. Also, phonetically similar to a crappy 80s band.

    I hope you realize that the Borg are superior to humans. Only reason they lost is due to some lame stories cooked up by the Star Trek authors who were pro-human ;) A species based on assimilation will be extremely strong. Although, due to the their lack of diversity, one weakness will bring them all down.
