J Allard Interviewed
malchus6 writes "J Allard, one of the Xbox honchos over at Microsoft, spent an hour in an online chat answering questions regarding the upcoming release of the 360 including some pointed questions having to do with the two different price points, no wi-fi inclusion, his opinion on HD-DVD and more..."
Of course it's not dumb. I mean, everything Microsoft touches turns to gold. Just look at Windows ME and WebTV... err... nevermind!
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.
The question is, does it run linux yet?

No thanks.
I only read duplicate stories. If it's not good enough to be green-lighted four or five times in a month, it's simply not worth reading.

"Why is there almost no proper capitalization? I mean, it's already damn near impossible to read but a five minute skim/correct session wouldn't have been too much to ask, would it?"
You must have missed the last question from the interview....
Q: Many gamers and non-gamers alike choose to communicate with the generally accepted practice of capitalizing the first character of each sentence. Does Microsoft restrict your usage of the Shift key, or is there some other reason?
A: Great question. The fact of the matter is that I'm typing this on the Microsoft "core" keyboard, which does not include a Shift key. Our market research indicates nearly 75% of our target market prefers to be lazy and not use a shift key. While our "premium" keyboard does offer this advanced technology, one was not available at the time of this interview.
Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.
as everyone knows the real successor was mp3 and digital distribution with things like napster ipod and msn music
Oh shit. He said iPod. 20 bucks says there two guys in black suits staring at him when he turns around from that computer screen. Somebody didn't get the memo from Bill G that says "we don't speak of such evils."

There is truth in humor.
A much better interview can also be seen here.
I just added "... so we will make more money" to the end of every sentence.

No way. Get outta town.
Really? An advertisement?
Damn. Who'da thunk it. Right there on the internets and everything. Wow.
This sig intentionally left blank.
Wrong. People who are stupid enough to play Madden again and again are just stupid enough to run out and buy an xbox 360 so they can play it in hi-def on their 13 inch sylvania crt from 1996.
You over estimate the intelligence of Madden fans. (For the record, I liked Madden once upon a time... It used to be an innovative, enjoyable game)
