Rumor: Microsoft Wants Blu-ray for Xbox 360?
2008-03-08 22:00:00 I would prefer you to read about the format war if you wish to know more about blu-ray’s victorious. So Microsoft wants blu-ray for 360 huh? According to Stan Glasgow, Sony Electronics US president, “Sony is in talks with console rival Microsoft about offering a Blu-ray drive for the Xbox 360.” Recently, Toshiba quit the fight and said it would discontinue development of the HD-DVD. And now, It seems that Sony Electronics US president Stan Glasgow was encouraging Microsoft and Apple to incorporate Blu-ray drives in their products. My Views: It definitely will happen, and Microsoft probably wouldn’t mind paying Sony some money for integrating blu-ray in its console, at least in the minds of consumers, take a bit away from what is Sony’s biggest competitive advantage with PlayStation 3. Maybe Microsoft wants to make the Xbox into a direct competitor of the PlayStation 3 when it comes to multimedia. Microsoft has yet to comment on a date for such a develop...

Breaking News! Uncontrolled Satellite Is WEEKS Away From Striking Earth!
2008-01-29 11:46:00 OMG! According to reports, a US spy satellite which has lost power and propulsion is weeks or even months away from hitting Earth . The officials said that the satellite which no longer can be controlled could contain hazardous materials. And it is still “unknown” for which location on the planet it might come down. Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for the Nation Security Council commented, “Numerous satellites over the years have come out of orbit and fallen harmlessly. We are looking at potential options to mitigate any possible damage this satellite may cause.” Government agencies are still considering about how to handle it and would not comment on whether it is possible for the satellite to be perhaps shot down by a missile. Source: CNN.com My views: If they shoot down the stray equipment, the radioactive metal pieces will smash onto many locations on our planet’s surface.
