Microsoft stalks your den on new Xbox venture

Avatar for 9to5 Staff Oct 9 2008

Microsoft isn’t just suffering from Google-envy – it’s got a high dose of Apple envy, too – now it seems set to do what it can to transform the Xbox 360 into more of an Apple TV-alternate than before.

Microsoft today announced at the Tokyo Game Show 2008 that the New Xbox Experience will launch on Wednesday, Nov. 19, when the company aims to "put more entertainment at their fingertips than any other device connected to the TV."

Microsoft also announced that beginning this month shoppers buying one of these consoles will get a bunch of games for free (at least in the US).

Jonas Brothers at Apple Soho is a Major No-No

Avatar for 9to5 Staff Aug 13 2008

 See here. The musical geniuses who brought you such timeless classics as S.O.S. and Burnin’ Up performed today at the Apple SoHo. Meanwhile, hundreds of teenage girls (and apparently one guy), who think its crazy to wait in line all day for a phone, waited all day in line to listen to a horrible, direct-from-Disney group sound even worse in person (if that is even possible). Due to the popularity of the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, and High School Musical, I have come to the conclusion that teenage girls have it hard-coded in their DNA to have no taste in music. If you’ve looked at the iTunes Top 10 lately, you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about: there currently are two Jonas Brothers songs, a Demi Lovato song, a Miley Cyrus song, and now, a David Archuleta song.

Mickey Mouse iPhone story…

Avatar for 9to5 Staff Jul 21 2008

 Woah! So – if Disney and Apple got together to design an iPhone for members of the Mickey Mouse Club, would it really look like this? Probably not, we’re convinced this is no more than an amusing fake, particularly on account of the inclusion of a ‘proper’ keyboard on the purported device – after all, hardware keyboards are just, so…well, opinions differ.
