It's a Web Browser... :|

If we had a web browser and changeable account logins to WLMessenger on the 360... then why would I ever need to leave my 360... MS could make millions selling digital downloads of food, the 360 needs a replicator like in Star Trek!!!

Something unexpected. I like surprises :D

Yea! (Y)

I don't see why clan support is so popular. It really detracts from the game, in just turning it into pure competition rather than something that, while being competitive, is a lot of fun. And in fact, Bungie left it out of Halo 3 for good reason (quote from Frankie):

Clan support really isn't all it's hyped up to be, IMO, and it wouldn't bother me if they didn't add the feature.

A lot of people mention other codec support. I'd like to be able to stream my digital DVD collection (I've ripped all mine to my computer) to my 360 (all files are still in DVD format). I can do it with, say, Transcode 360, but I'd really like to not have to. Media Center won't play them because they 'can't be streamed from a remote location'.

Ditto. I really don't see the point of clan support.

As for playing DVD movies, do you mean the .VOB files, etc? If so, my setup currently works fine with that (natively). I think you just need the proper codecs. All I do is run Media Center on my 360, and then select the .VOB files in sequence. Plays without a problem, no lag issues or anything. And I'm not using Transcode 360 or TVersity or whatever for it to work either.

we'd being talking with fast food chains a couple of times before, the idea was to create some sort of "Xbox Live Food Court" so you could order food right from your dashboard... :happy: :yes:

the system will use the address in your XBL account to create the delivery order and all you'll pay using your MSPs, it's more complex than it sounds cuz there was a lot of stuff involved. have no idea whatever happened to that project... :blush:

Did you even read it?

NOTE: You NEED WindowsXP Media Center Edition, it will not work with Windows 2000 or any other form of Windows XP
It is using the MCE PC to render an image of the Website which it displays on the 360, but you will not be able to enter any text. (For Example, google wouldn't be useful because you cannot enter text.)

What is the point?!

Tried USB datacable ?

it the N95 is able to fucntion as a regular dtatastorage device or multimedia device(don't remember the protocol names) the 360 should be able to read it just fine.

that means cables, cables and more cables, wirelessly or with bluetooth is far easier and simpler, no messing about.

I am not sure how 16:10 support can come. I mean Xbox 360 supports 720p and 1080p so if you support 16:10 resolution it means that people who have a resolution of 1440x900 will be somewhere between 720p and 1080p right ?

I mean i am not too sure about this whole concept. Can someone explain how it can be done and all ?

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
