Live Bill Gates CES keynote today at 6:30 p.m PST


Recommended Posts

Can someone please explain to me how IPTV is different to the interactive Sky Digital we've had in the UK for a while now? Especially the multiple angles thing on sports programmes...

Oh, and that racing game was basically Need For Speed: Underground. ;)

haha, no xbox 2 mentioned at all!

sucks...

lol at the bsod. thats one ****** up game, and i think the thing with conans car is he pressed somethin for it to go slow because it was blinkin at the bottom right corner.

it was sweet though, talkin about the media center, i was watchin it from the media center and im very excited for the things that are coming. but today i couldnt get online spotlight working, it just went to microsofts main MCE page... weird.

btw, CONAN MADE IT SUCK! i hate that guy soo much. argh!

Just to be clear, it wasn't actually a BSOD.

It was a C++ assertion failure, as it was a development build of the game running on an XDK (not a real Xbox).

If you looked closely you could see the name of the CPP file containing the assertion call :)

Let see all the flaws with this event....

The remote for the media center pc didnn't work

O Brien Said the camera was too heavy

The internet wasn't working

BSOD/Out Of Memory Error on the XBOX

O Brien Sucks at playing games

I think its fair to say Bill Gates got 0wn3d :p But really, I think what really stood out from that presentation was the IPTV Tech....That looks amazing :happy:.

Actually, the Media Center remote looked like it was missing batteries.

OBrien said the camera was heavy so Bill could show him the much smaller copy

The internet was working, it loaded shortly after he put the stylus down

The blue screen of death was hilarious, and I'd almost say it was a joke

Problems during the show....

1. Delay before starting

2. Broken Remote

3. Internet not working (And using Firefox)

4. Xbox out of memory (BSOD)

5. Choopy gameplay for demo racing game, after conno crashed to a wall

I think that's all... :pinch:

well then... that was... ummm... not quite sure what that was but it sure was something (and I don't necessarily mean that in the good way)...

Oh and BTW was it just me or did that chair and the way bill was sitting make him look REALLY short and kinda like a dwarf or troll or something?... heh

Remote= Yeah it was probably was missing it or so

Camera= hmm...Never saw the part with the smaller camera...Lost the connection there. Still in my mind, By O'Brien saying that, it kind of makes Bill Gates Presenation look a bit weaker

Internet=Once again, missed the part after that. Connection died

BSOD= Either way....It was hilarious :D

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
