Xbox 360 Fall Update


Recommended Posts

I am not interested in running my 360 just for F@H, waste of power. I don't mind running it on my box because my box is used for other purposes too so running it on side is not a big issue but just running a console for F@H is seriously stupid imo

Actually the thing about folding is that it uses floating point calculations. Now although the CELL will outpace the 360's processor when it comes to floating point operations, the 360's GPU is essentially a dirty great big Floating point processor (all 3D graphics cards are) and rumour has it, it'd be more effective, if not just as effective, at folding@home than Sony's CELL.

Exactly, I'm pretty sure in the same interview Peter Moore had, he said the GPU would be used instead of the 3 cores. I posted the news months and months ago, but I'm too lazy too look up my topic history :p

AFAIK the Autumn update comes out in November.

Besides, has anyone actually said there's even going to be one? :p

Nope, not really. Perhaps they are not permitted to speak about it until they release it.

Also - Spartan, Vamp, and Kushan: A024.gif

On the contrary, I think you're not feeling gay enough and until you're in MY room sucking MY....putdowns in Halo 3....I wont be convinced!

mom doesn't allow me to eat junk food...

seems like people likes those smilies a lot more...

There has to be one! and it has to have divx/xvid codec! if not Spartan_X should be in hiding for a while!

who needs codecs when you can have full access to IPTV?

but that's only usefull if IPTV has all the shows I watch, wich I doubt.

And more improtantly as long as the IPTV is available where I live, with all the shows I watch.

So tell me, Will we have IPTV in Norway with the Fall update, and will IPTV show on US launchdate, CSI*, SGA, Bones, Dexter, Numb3rs, Criminal Minds, Heroes...... there's way too many good shows now ;p

now will we have IPTV here in this corner of the world :p

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.
