In the past two weeks Microsoft has banned nearly one million users from the online gaming service after finding that they had modified their consoles to play pirated games.  Since the ban is connected to the console rather than a gamer&#39;s online account, many modified Xboxs have appeared on multiple bidding and personal sales sites.  eBay has issued a warning to potential buyers on its website to be wary of buying consoles in the wake of Microsoft&#39;s move.  <br /><br /><a href='http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/21/banned-xboxs-flooding-ebay-and-craigslist'>Read full story...</a>]]></description><dc:creator>Kevin Phillips</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 21 Nov 2009 09:08:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><guid>http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/21/windows-8-is-coming-in-2012</guid><title>Windows 8 is coming in 2012</title><link>http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/21/windows-8-is-coming-in-2012</link><description><![CDATA[According to the latest roadmap from Microsoft, it would appear that Windows 8 will arrive sometime in 2012.  This would follow a three year product cycle that would keep it in line with Vista and Windows 7 releases.    The road map is clear about the targeted date and does not try to hide the fact that the code name is "Windows 8".  Little else is known about the OS other than its targeted date of release.    Let the speculation begin.

The title has now broken a slew of records for entertainment sales, claimed the publisher.   <br /><br /><a href='http://www.neowin.net/news/gamers/09/11/20/modern-warfare-2-grosses-550-million-in-five-days'>Read full story...</a>]]></description><dc:creator>Joshua Seed</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:06:07 +0000</pubDate></item><item><guid>http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/20/google-chrome-os-availabe-for-download</guid><title>Google Chrome OS available  for download</title><link>http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/20/google-chrome-os-availabe-for-download</link><description><![CDATA[When Google finally showed off their new OS yesterday there was a lot of skepticism about working in the cloud, offline applications and many other thoughts and concerns.  The good news is that if you don&#39;t want to read others hands on impressions you can now download and install the OS yourself.  A couple of things to note, firstly the download will only work in a VM environment, second, this is pre-beta software so expect crashes, bumps and a rough experience.  But if you&#39;re willing to take the plunge you can follow the directions here.   <br /><br /><a href='http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/20/google-chrome-os-availabe-for-download'>Read full story...</a>]]></description><dc:creator>Brad Sams</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:23:17 +0000</pubDate></item><item><guid>http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/20/twitter-no-longer-asks-what-are-you-doing</guid><title>Twitter no longer asks &quot;What are you doing?&quot;</title><link>http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/20/twitter-no-longer-asks-what-are-you-doing</link><description><![CDATA[In an unexpected move, Twitter has removed the "What are you doing?" question from the user interface, confirming a change in uses for the popular social networking site.  The official Twitter Blog had the following to say about the new changes:  "Twitter was originally conceived as a mobile status update service&mdash;an easy way to keep in touch with people in your life by sending and receiving short, frequent answers to one question, &lsquo;What are you doing?&#39; However, when we implemented the service, we chose to leave something out. To stay simple, Twitter did not require individuals to confirm relationships. Instead, we left things open.   <br /><br /><a href='http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/20/twitter-no-longer-asks-what-are-you-doing'>Read full story...</a>]]></description><dc:creator>Joshua Seed</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:22:20 +0000</pubDate></item><item><guid>http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/19/eu-agrees-guidelines-on-internet-restriction</guid><title>EU agrees with guidelines on Internet restriction</title><link>http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/19/eu-agrees-guidelines-on-internet-restriction</link><description><![CDATA[European MEP&#39;s and Council representatives have agreed on a set of guidelines that state restrictions to Internet usage may "only be imposed if they are appropriate, proportionate and necessary within a democratic society," and that users are entitled to a "fair and impartial procedure" before disconnection.  The Telecoms Reform Package that the restriction guidelines are part of will go before the European Parliament and Council for a final decision in late November. The compromise is the result of all night negotiations and is the last hurdle for the package which also include, amongst other things, a rule that will require mobile phone companies to help users change contracts within 24 hours.   <br /><br /><a href='http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/19/eu-agrees-guidelines-on-internet-restriction'>Read full story...</a>]]></description><dc:creator>Matthew Hopson</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:54:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><guid>http://www.neowin.net/news/gamers/09/11/19/firm-considers-class-action-over-xbox-live-bannings</guid><title>Firm considers class action over Xbox Live bannings</title><link>http://www.neowin.net/news/gamers/09/11/19/firm-considers-class-action-over-xbox-live-bannings</link><description><![CDATA[Law firm AbingtonIP has revealed that it&#39;s currently "investigating" what it calls the "convenient" Xbox Live bannings over modded consoles.  The firm believes that it&#39;s no coincidence that Microsoft banned "tens of thousands" of users after receiving its money for Gold memberships, post release of Halo 3: ODST and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Therefore, the law firm is considering a suit in order to get the membership fees refunded to subscribers along with a "refund for the prorated sums".  "To me, this certainly sounds a lot like a cash grab directed at a company with deep pockets, but perhaps there are more facts than they are letting on," said Joystiq legal columnist Mark Methenitis.  <br /><br /><a href='http://www.neowin.net/news/gamers/09/11/19/firm-considers-class-action-over-xbox-live-bannings'>Read full story...</a>]]></description><dc:creator>Joshua Seed</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><guid>http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/19/youtube-captions-to-use-technology-from-google-voice</guid><title>YouTube Captions to Use Technology from Google Voice</title><link>http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/19/youtube-captions-to-use-technology-from-google-voice</link><description><![CDATA[In a move meant to boost accessibility and search engine relevance, Google has announced an automatic captions service for YouTube videos, using the "automatic speech recognition" (ASR) technology currently used in the transcription feature of Google Voice.  Although YouTube has long offered options for content providers to upload their own captions and subtitles, few have chosen to do so, with just around 100,000 captioned videos available out of hundreds of millions of clips posted on the site.  Although Google admits that the machine-generated captions "will not always be perfect," they see the introduction of the technology as a positive step in providing content to deaf and hearing disabled users.  <br /><br /><a href='http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/19/youtube-captions-to-use-technology-from-google-voice'>Read full story...</a>]]></description><dc:creator>Chris Carera </dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:03:52 +0000</pubDate></item><item><guid>http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/19/apple-seeks-patent-for-embedded-ads-in-os</guid><title>Apple Seeks Patent for Embedded Ads in OS</title><link>http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/19/apple-seeks-patent-for-embedded-ads-in-os</link><description><![CDATA[According to a disclosed patent application discovered last month by The New York Times, Apple Computers is seeking rights to a technology that allows advertising to have a direct spot in a device operating system.  The reasoning behind the decision is most widely believed to be a cost-cutting motive, allowing consumers subsidized purchasing options for ordinarily more expensive technology. The fact that the patent is coming from Apple is seen by some analysts as a surprise and a contradiction of Apple&#39;s reputation for delivering higher quality, more user friendly technology at a premium price.   <br /><br /><a href='http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/19/apple-seeks-patent-for-embedded-ads-in-os'>Read full story...</a>]]></description><dc:creator>Chris Carera </dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:29:54 +0000</pubDate></item>
