| Xbox 360 team skipped quality testing of console to beat Sony to ...
Last summer, amidst a flurry of reports from Xbox 360 gamers, DailyTech exposed retailers' estimates that up to one-third of Xbox 360 consoles experience hardware failures within the first year of ownership. Just days after the report, Microsoft extended its warranty to cover the specific hardware failure for three years from purchase. Now, six months later, a supposed Microsoft insider confirms that around 30% of Xbox 360 consoles, most based on the original 'Xenon' design, fail. "It's around 30 percent, and all will probably fail early," the source told 8Bit Joystick. "This quarter they are expecting 1M failures, most of those Xenons. Some of those are repeat failures." Although Microsoft now covers all Xbox 360 consoles for three years against the Red Ring of Death (RROD) – the sign of a hardware failure – there is no specific time frame for the defect to appear.

The Long-Term Perils of Aggressive Advocacy
It may not have been unusual to hear Jennifer Howse, president of the March of Dimes, delivering a radio address supporting the extension of the federal Children's Health Insurance Program. But it was surprising that her speech was the formal Democratic Party response to President Bush's weekly radio address. If champions...

Did Obama really win?
Clinton had name recognition and a comfortable, double digit lead for months. He even stole Conneticuit,which is right next door to her home base of New York. Obama has bridged the racial divide in the south, and won states like Alaska and Idaho, states where the black population wouldn't even come up in the stat sheets. In the end he won more states in more places than she did, with less time as well. The second main reason that Sen. Clinton is in major trouble right now is that her entire strategy going into her candidacy (her grand master plan, if you will) was to create this air of inevitability (a Borg-like appearance), crush Edwards, Richardson and Biden on Super Tuesday and use the event as a coronation ceremony of sorts. Of all the tens of millions of dollars that she had been raising since 2000, she banked about half of that money in the general election pot, which renders that money meaningless because under US election laws, money declared for the general election can ONLY be used in the general election.
Sally's Story
I dont know what drew my attention first: The imposing giant of a woman with the flame-colored hair, or the gargantuan chocolate sundae she was attacking with such obvious delight. Whatever else you care to say about her, know this: Sally Mursi is a woman with one hell of an appetite. Good for you, I blurt out with a smile. It doesnt show at all! .
