Xbox 360 ‘hacked’ - File transfers to/from HDD
1 Comment Published February 13th, 2006 in Gaming, Microsoft, Noteworthy, PC, Software, TechnologyThe Xbox 360 has been ‘hacked’ so that you can transfer games saves to and from the Xbox 360’s hard drive and to and from the memory card (by effectively turning the memory card into a flash drive). Using a free program that is now available, Xplorer360 can access every single part of the 360 [...]
I was bounding down the stairs into the subway, three steps at a time, hoping to make the train. I had my iPod and was experiencing everything dreamily. To say it was a new iPod was only half of it. I had sent it in for repairs. It had stopped working just before the warranty [...]

PS3 Hands-on Review: “barely superior to Xbox 360?”
Closed Published February 11th, 2006 in Gaming, Shorts, TechnologyAt this point in the game Sony’s been so intensely tight-lipped about the goings on of the PlayStation 3 that we’re becoming increasingly skeptical about information that’s starting to leak — not even because we think it’s dubious (which it usually appears to be), but because we are starting to think they’re further behind development [...]
It looks like the PS3 may have a hard drive. But what is strange is that Ken Kutaragi, the big man at Sony, said himself that there will be no hard drive for it because “no matter how much [capacity] we put in it, it won’t be enough.” And because of this statement, all information [...]
Intel Core Duo really 64-bit?
1 Comment Published February 10th, 2006 in Apple, Noteworthy, PC, TechnologySo Intel has been lying to us! It has been found out that these consumer ‘Yonah’ processors are 64-bit compatible. The pro-grade Sossaman chips are 64-bit, which Intel openly admits, however what they don’t say is that this chip is identical to the ‘Yonah’ model. The Intel chip inside the new Mac’s could potentionally boot [...]
Think Secret seems to think so with their inside information. However they have been wrong in the past, a lot of time.
