The Xbox 360 has changed since its launch in 2005.
That much is transparently clear from the updated version that debuted in 2010.
The
Xbox 360 S is smaller, sleeker and quieter than the previous model and
designed to banish the infamous 'Red Ring of Death' hardware failure
that forced Microsoft to extend its warranty on the system.
Likewise
the arrival of Kinect, which has gone on to sell over 10 million units,
has transformed the machine from solely the preserve of hardcore gamers
to a casual gamer friendly environment.
While some of the novelty
of Kinect may have worn off, if anything the games are improving –
finding new ways to take advantage of what is still fascinating
technology.
But Microsoft is and always has been a software
company first and foremost and, fittingly, that's where the Xbox 360 has
changed the most. The NXE update of 2008 binned the old 'blades' system
for an interface that was more welcoming to multimedia content and 2011
has seen another major update to the console's operating system. One so
substantial, we've felt it necessary to update this review to reflect
what a different machine it is.
Whether it's the old model or the
new one, the Xbox 360 has now comprehensively changed from a machine
primarily about playing games, with a modest selection of online content
attached, to a fully featured entertainment and media hub. The
majority of forms of digital entertainment are catered for, there are
extensive social networking features available and a new TV tab aims to
replace traditional digital boxes with IPTV and catch up services.
The
new dashboard, based around the Metro design language that also
features in Windows 8 and Windows Phone 7, is a far busier interface,
but it's reflective of the huge amounts of content now available within
the walled garden of Xbox Live.
Getting to it all has always been
the challenge and Microsoft has made admirable steps towards making that
a straightforward process.

India rejects demands by Apple on tax incentives India has finally rejected key demands by Apple for customs duty rebate on imported equipment for making iphones in the country. In a written reply to the Lok Sabha, commerce and industry minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that "requests regarding such rebate were examined and... not accepted."

Apple iPhone 8 specifications may not have been finalized yet Initially, there were many reports suggesting the iPhone 8 launch would get delayed due to some manufacturing issue. Proving all the speculations wrong, last week Apple sent out invites for the launch event that is to take place on September 12. As usual, the name of the product was not mentioned in the official invite. However, judging from the company's past launching pattern, we are quite sure the iPhone 8 will get launched at the event.
