Out of Microsoft today, more details about the new Xbox360 experience. This time, they talked about the themes and friends list, correcting and fixing many apprehension many gamers had.

As i promised a while back, the forums have relaunched, and this time, they are leagues better than they used to be. You will need new accounts to use them, but registration is safe, and you can still comment without registering.

One of the more disputed features of the new Xbox360 experience is the addition of Avatars. Some see it as an important step forward, others see it as a copy of a Wii feature, still others see it as an added cuteness that was unneeded.
Whatever you think, this video should give you some idea of how they will work.
I must say, its more than I thought it would be. I thought it would be a cheap knockoff of The Sims + Mii, but it really looks like it has been well thought out. There are so many options, more than either mixed, and some unique customization, such as gloves and rings, are included.
I don’t know what the stars on features are, but perhaps this means that these are newly downloaded/added features. If it is such a system, i wonder if its pushed [1. By pushed, i mean automatically recieved], or the user still has to download it.
Well, i fixed a number of bugs with spore, including error 5024 and 1002 (Read more for how to fix this). Now, i am presented with yet another error, this one much more fixable, yet much more annoying.
I need to buy a new graphics card.

I have spent most of this afternoon attempting to install spore. I have had to reboot many times, had to deal with DRM, had to deal with crashes, had to deal with all kinds of problems.

Every modern browser has a text finding feature, and today, i stumbled across the one in Chrome. When you press Ctrl+F, a little find box slides down in the upper right hand corner. As you type, results are highlited. This is nothing new. What is new is on the scroll bar, chrome adds bands of color for areas with search results. The only other place i have ever seen this is in Merge/Diff tools, and i absolutely love it.
There are many tutorials, downloads, and other tricks on the internet for getting Google Chrome on a USB Stick or Thumbdrive, but there is a much simpler solution. Download a nightly binary. Google offers these up for download, just click on the folder with the highest number, and then download the included zip file. If its buggy, go back one number. These are direct from the horses mouth, and by downloading these binaries, you might actually get a feature or 2 that aren’t in other downloads[1. This is only speculation. In all probability, these will get more features as development goes on.]
