I'm hoping for a decent mod so the we can get some Open Source software in the console... I loved XBMC and I want it for XBOX 360.

MS previusly have stated that they support the developement of XBMC like apps for the 360 in relation to comments on XNA. I don't think XNA allows enough access to the grpahics card or to the network yet though, but they also said they where working on openign these up so XBMC and other apps would be possible.

haven't heard aymore aboutt hat since XNA was released and they talked about that though.

I'd like:

The video marketplace to launch internationally, have 16:10 support, be able to watch divx and xvid movies from a burnt disc/external device and the ability to copy media from an external device/cd to the internal hard drive.

can we please get the option that if someone sends a message, and that message display screen pops up while in the game, if we hit the guide button it will auto play the message in our headset...its so annoying when someone sends you a message and you dont want to stop, bring up the guide, listen to it, then close it all back down....it takes to long if your in the middle of a game!

Yea thats a good idea. When someone sends a message instead of hitting the Guide Button and having the Guide pop up when you get the notification, it should just play the message once, and then if you want to go back to it or replay it you can then bring up the Guide like normal.

But what happens when the message is a text?

I'd like more stability for the guide, it's forever hanging and freezing for ages and I end up having to restart the console. Sometimes it's just when i do somethign simple like views my friends list, the blade just goes blank and hangs forever!

Very annoying, the message option sounds good too though :)

I wish you could disable certain notifications from popping up. For example, I don't need to know every time one of my friends logs on, but what I do need a notification to pop up for is if a friend sends me a message or an invite or something. I know you can turn off notifications from popping up all together, but I would like to be able to filter for only message notifications.

Both good suggestions guys ^. The guide does need fixing as it's been like that for a while now.

And Magik I agree, I've often wished we could select which ones popup and which ones to disable. Quite annoying when someone has network issues or is updating games etc :p (we're all guilty of it ;) )

They released a list of changes for the Spring update a week or so before release.

They did? :s My mistake then :p We don't usually get a complete list of all the changes until the update is out and Xbox.com gets updated. We usually just hear of what to expect in the update, which so far has stayed true (Xbox downloads announcement).

    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake

      In the boot options in the UEFI is set to legacy or CMS? It needs to be set to UEFI if it's not already.

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      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.

      Because of what they have done to VMware I will never buy anything Broadcom again.
