It's really an easy fix. All you need is a shot glass, some confetti, a little Valerian root, and tongue of newt.
Balance the Xbox on the shot glass. now take the Valerian root, mash it up and smear it along the outside of the case. Stay with me, this works. Sprinkle the confetti over the top, take out the hard drive and stick in the Newt tongue. Now, this is very important, chant this 3 times: "Begone, 360 demons, begone!"
I can only speak for myself, but this fixed my Xbox. No more artifacts!
It's makes perfect sense, but from a technological aspect it's impossible.
The Xbox 360 uses a treo of PowerPC processors to run games, in sharp contrast to an intel pentium III of the original xbox. A lot of code simply will not go over. Given these constraints, Microsoft could have either said "fuck it, no backwards compatibility" or they could try their best to port some games anyway.
I'm glad they chose the latter.
Vonage wants to raise $600,000,000? But they only have 800,000 customers. That is $750 per current customer? Can Vonage even make that much per customer? What growth do they expect?
People do stupid things.
Computer games giant Electronic Arts and education IT researcher NESTA Futurelab, are to conduct trials to see how computer games can be used as educational tools in schools.
Sales Rep: Sir! We have a problem, no one is buying our shitty games!
"Why has there been such a sudden lack in innovation as of late? Are we in a technological drought?"
They are 100% right. I have a new dual core processor, with two 7800 GTX's running in SLI, 4 10,000 RPM Raptor Hard Drives in a RAID array running Windows x64 edition.
But the the real innovation these days is in quieter fans.

time machine. go back in time, before i read this useless headline....
I don't see what the big deal is about!

I thought Frodo killed that thing!

I don't need these anymore! I've got my TI-84!

Sales Rep: Sir! We have a problem, no one is buying our shitty games!
CEO: Hmmmm.... is it because 25 of our last 26 games have been sequals?
Sales Rep: That's part of the problem, sir, but all of our games contain a copious amount of um, shit.
CEO: Interesting. We need a new market approach.
Sales Rep: Sir?
CEO: We sell our games to schools, and say they our educational!
Sales Rep: Brialliant!
CEO: We have to make sure they buy our utter crap too, so let's say "all our genres have something to offer"...
Sales Rep: Oh Sir, the school districts will love it! I'll get the board on the phone right away. Hello Add'em '06!
Step 1. Blanket the entire nation with free internet access, costing the company millions.
Step 2. ?????
Step 3. Profit!
Use something besides the bloated applications that come pre-installed on a shitty operating system?
I wouldn't dream of it.
Get some oranges and some bananas while you're at it.

As a parent, this concerns me.
I don't care if my child carjacks a senior.
I don't care if he runs over innocent bystanders.
I don't care if he joins the mafia.
I don't care if he kills police oficers.
I don't care if he picks up prostitutes then kills them to get their money.
I don't care if he takes a golf club and starts clubbing to death pedestrians.
But he may never, over my dead body, have adult on adult, consensual sex!
Something made by Microsoft does not work? I don't believe it.
Verizon doesn't give me free ringtones? This is ridiculous!
The only sensible thing to do is hack it so I can listen to the latest shitty pop songs to their full glory.
It's a good thing we have people to do this so computers don't have to.
We decided that we had to be radically different from Apple.
Because, hey, iPods aren't really selling that well.
Those are all the core code names. San Diego and Venice are the two newest and best.
They are the best overclockers and produce the least heat. They use 90nm technology.
Venice is generally used in the lower lineup (3000+, 3200+, 3500+, etc) And San Diego is used with more expensive processors (4000+, FX-55)
Those other cores are older and should be avoided unless you want to save some money.
Why would I buy this instead of a dual core 4800+? Two is more than one! Even if the two cores are lower clock speeds.
Does this mean I can have cookies for breakfast?
