“What?!? An Xbox 360 for serious business use?” Yep, that’s right, gentle readers: a Microsoft [MSFT] Xbox 360 with a properly configured Kinect sensor… for use by businesses.

Remember when the note went out from Javamancy mini about the passing of the end of October without the critical update to Borderlands anywhere in sight?
For those of you who are old enough to remember the monumental three-way product/platform wars between a variety of different players, as well as the various face-offs between heated contenders, you can often slot the threesters into that ol’ Good-Bad-Ugly trifecta.

Remember when I just had to get an Xbox 360 Elite Edition to replace my first Xbox 360 that unfortunately suffered a RROD event?

Remember when I had that heart-wrenching Xbox 360 console failure that was a serious general hardware failure? It was definitely an E 74 error, and when I researched it, I realized that it was not covered by Microsoft’s [MSFT] three-year warranty for the Red Right of Death errors, because they were limiting that coverage to [...]
Well, it has been a bit more than just “a few days” since we last mentioned the upcoming arrival of Halo 3′s Mythic Map Pack, the one that allows for all of those extra Achievements (with attendant Achievement Points!) and new amounts of of multiplayer hilarity… Fortunately, the Mythic Map Pack is now available, from [...]
The excitement for Xbox 360 gamers that has been building about the expected Mythic Map Pack for Halo 3 culminated with an announcement seen on Xbox LIVE that the map pack will be released shortly: first, as a bonus for the people buying Bungie’s Halo Wars Limited Edition on March 3, 2009, and then a [...]
