  • It's official -- the long speculated slim Xbox 360 had finally been announced at E3 yesterday and had already started shipping. As stated above, the new Xbox will have a 250 GB Hard disk and built in Wifi -- but what does this changes mean?

For one, the new Xbox addresses many of  the orginal's criticism. The Xbox had been laughed at for its overcharging of accessories. Previously, it took $100 -- 1/3 of the Xbox's price- to get Wifi and the 250GB hard disk cost $129. With the new Xbox, this issue had been resolved- putting an end to the fed up gamers who did not want to pay so much for WiFi. Also, with the 250GB HDD, the ability to install games to the hard drive can now be more widely used, as the old 20GB HDD can't hold that many 6GB games.

  • I originally had TweetDeck and Twitterrific Premium installed on my iPod Touch. When Twitter's official iPhone app arrives on the App Store, I downloaded and tried it out. I must say that it's pretty impressive though both TweetDeck and Twitterrifc offer dark and sleek interfaces, which I prefer. As I was playing with it, I noticed that the folks over at the Twitter Mobile team have included an interesting stat that Biz Stone & Co. keep mum previously.

  • Halo: Reach feels and plays like any other halo game. There is no looking down of sights, no custom classes. This is still halo. Weapons are scattered throughout the map, and you are still going to get the mad dash for the rocket launcher at the start of every game.

While many complain about the lack of change, I personally like how the game feels. Why change something which had worked so well for Halo? It may be an aged system, but it still works very well. Besides, what would halo be if everyone is able to pick a "sniper class" like in Call of Duty? Halo's weapons are in no way balanced, and thats not a bad thing- the power weapons can slay enemies, but there are only a small number of them; you will have to fight for it.

  • Do not always think that gaming consoles such as Sony's Playstation 3, Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Wii are for gaming. These popular gaming consoles can actually do more than just for entertainment purposes. For example, the United States Air Force and Stanford University researchers harness these gaming consoles as a supercomputer for research purposes. Federal investigators use them to catch real life while for most PS3 users, the criminals they catch and the victims they save are just pixilated simulations on a TV screen. United Kingdom's NHS (National Health Service) promotes the use of Nintendo Wii to keep fit.
