The Clicker: Zune, it’s all about the ecosystem
Author: Bill Naked Teens
Filed under: Features, Portable Audio, Portable Video
Stephen Speicher contributes The Clicker, an opinion column on entertainment and technology:
Upon learning of Microsoft’s rumored iPod competitor, the Zune, iPod fanatics could be heard around the globe: “It’s just an iPod rip-off.” “Can’t the boys in Redmond do anything without copying the mighty Jobs?”, loyal Appleists screamed at the top of their lungs. “It’s got a scroll-wheel. It’s got a screen. It will probably play music too! Will the copying ever stop?”
While all of the above may be true, repeat after me: It’s not about the player. Don’t get me wrong — the iPod is a nifty little machine. In classic Apple style, the iPod is sleek and stylish; its clean lines and rolled edges ooze class and quality. Heck, the iPod is nearly lickable. However, while going to market with such a device certainly doesn’t hurt your chances, it’s not the root of the iPod’s success. The secret to Apple’s success in the online music market has always been the ease of a) buying music and b) getting music onto the device. It’s really that simple. In short, it’s all about the ecosystem.
For years the debate has raged on. Microsoft has stood firm; they have boldly and publicly declared, “We give the user choices. We’re not about an end-to-end solution. Our PlaysForSure program allows a user to pick the device that best suits his or her needs. Blah Blah Blah.” Apple, on the other hand, has chosen a different route. Much like Henry Ford’s oft-quoted response to choice in the Model-T, Apple has said, “You can use any device you want as long as it’s the iPod.” There is no doubt who the winner was in round one. The overwhelming success of the iPod speaks volumes.
Does that mean that Microsoft was wrong? Perhaps not. Perhaps they were just being a tad disingenuous in regard to their true plans. It’s quite possible that we’re just now seeing Microsoft’s first real play in the digital audio player market. Perhaps, just perhaps, Microsoft has been stalling. And while claiming that Microsoft has just been stalling (as opposed to, say, clueless) might give them credit for an inordinate amount of self-awareness, we must closely examine this particular situation. Here are a couple things to consider.
Much to the chagrin of die-hard Apple fans, Microsoft actually does produce decent hardware. Their mice, keyboards, and routers (when they were still being produced), are all considered to be top of the line. Some might even argue that Microsoft is too good at industrial design. After all, we’ve all experienced the extreme emotional letdown after discovering Microsoft’s OEM partners will be producing watered-down versions of the Microsoft prototypes. The lack of a Microsoft produced media device has very little to do with Microsoft’s actual ability to produce one.
More likely, Microsoft has chosen not to produce their own DAP because they have lacked the software infrastructure needed to come close to iTunes’ ease of use. That’s right, ironically, the software giant’s Achilles heel hasn’t been the hardware. Try as they might, they just couldn’t produce the seamless software to compete with Apple. Windows Media Player has historically been a confusing mess, and while Windows Media Player 11 looks to be making some improvements, it would still fail the “could your mother do it” test. The iPod, of course, does not.
Well, all that could be about to change. With Zune, the race begins in earnest. Freed from the burden of the Windows Media Player legacy, the Xbox team could get a chance to show that they too can do “easy as Apple pie.”
We all knew that this time would come. Predictions that the Xbox was a “way to get into the living room” are as old as the Xbox itself. There was never any doubt that Microsoft would do something in the arena. You don’t sink billions of dollars into a product without a greater plan — and now, finally, we might just be about to see some of the goods.
If recent rumors are to be believed, the upcoming device will not be part of the standard PlaysForSure program. The implications of this rumor are quite interesting. While it’s possible that this could simply mean a deeper focus on URGE, it’s far more Allard-like to consider an end-to-end solution delivered via the 360. And why not? Xbox has already integrated your personal music into the games. Buying that music through them is the next logical step, especially if it’s their DAP you’re using. Furthermore, this level of integration would be a perfect fit for both their emerging social network and also their emerging economy of points. That’s right — by charging people “points” for songs, Xbox might just be able to break from the standard 99-cent price point.
Besides the much-discussed WiFi integration and its resulting music-sharing feature possibilities, creating an Xbox end-to-end solution could offer other interesting song-sale opportunities. For instance, imagine being able to listen to the soundtracks of any of your Live competitors. Like a song you here mid-game? Bookmark it. Buy it later. It’s a natural fit.
Yes, Apple’s platform has trounced Microsoft’s in the media device market wars. However, Apple would be foolish to believe that they’re going up against Microsoft this time. This time they could be going up against Xbox, and if it really is the ecosystem that’s helping to drive iPod sales, Apple could just have a fight on its hands this time.

read comments (19)Xbox 360 spring update bugs: got any?
Author: Bill Naked Teens
Filed under: Gaming
So we’ve been fooling around with our Xbox for the last few days since we got the big spring ‘06 360 update, and we haven’t really noticed any issues; everything has been downright snappy, and the new interfaces and options have been rather useful. But it might appear not everyone got off so luckily. According to MaxConsole and Xbox 360 Fanboy, a number of users are experiencing major issues with their 360, including problems with saving, freezing, skipping, or long load times in NHL 2k6, GRAW, Burnout, Half Life 2, and Oblivion — but it sounds like the noise has died down a little. So now that we’ve had a little more time to really see what’s up, what say you, 360 users? Any issues worth mentioning that seem out of the ordinary?

Portable Xbox — no, really!
Author: Bill Naked Teens
Filed under: Gaming, Handhelds
So, maybe you weren’t quite ready to set you lap on fire with that JoyTech LCD portable Xbox 360 setup — we understand. Might we recommend a slightly more portable way to get your old school Xbox out and about? Hacker extraordinare “Dave” has managed to squeeze that beast into a custom case, along with a battery, screen, and front mounted controls. We can’t say we’ve discovered our new commuting companion, but for sheer leet-ocity, this really takes the cake. We aren’t spying a drive bay anywhere on here, so we’re guessing this is one those modded Xboxen all the kids are talking about these days. There’s even an Ethernet jack for subway LAN parties and other frivolities. Has Ben Heckendorn met his match?
[Thanks, Tom]

New Xbox 360 dashboard rocks “125 new features”
Author: Bill Naked Teens
Filed under: Gaming
We know the “evil empire” is being cheeky by launching their big Xbox 360 dashboard update tomorrow on 6/6/6, but they’re boasting it’s got 125 new features for gamers to make it worth their while in updating (not like we have any choice). We don’t know how many of those “features” account for bug fixes, optimizations, and UI improvements, but we are now definitely sure the Live Marketplace has the performance optimized background download manager, downloaded video fast-forward and rewind, DVD movie bookmarking, and apparently some 122 other improvements we can look out for (ahem). Should be downloadable tomorrow morning at 2:00AM PST (we already tried, no dice as of right now — for us, anyway), so keep that Xbox runnin’.
[Thanks, Ben]
Update: sweet, got hit with a list of new features! Notable ones include: boot to dashboard (hey, sometimes you don’t want to play the game in the drive on turn-on, you know?), persistent music levels, disabling sound while in dashboard, and what seems like a bunch of other bug fixes, optimizations, and UI improvements. You know, features. Thanks PJ.

Just thought you’d like to know. And yeah, even thought it’s not the stylingest, we think aesthetically (if not the Wii then) the PStwo is probably our fav. But that’s just us.
P.S. -We understand the Wii’s not 100% accurately represented here. Looks pretty close though.

XLink One Development News: The Servers
Author: Bill Naked Teens
Team XLink posted more about the developemnt of the new XLink One, which will replace XLink Kai(info):
[QUOTE]
* What are the orbital servers
The orbitals are the servers that you connect to when you sign into XLink. They in turn communicate with our central database server, which resides in a secure undisclosed location. The orbital servers also communicate with each other directly to keep everything synchronized.
* What’s changing
The new orbital server is a complete rewrite of the existing system. The XLink Kai orbital software only runs on Windows, but the new one supports Windows, Linux, OSX, and FreeBSD servers so we’ll have more flexibility in adding to the mesh. Hopefully this will result in better coverage outside of North America.
* What’s new
Most of the changes to the orbitals are behind the scenes to support new features. The biggest visible improvement is that you’ll automatically reconnect if your session drops, even if the server you were connected to goes down and you have to jump onto a different server. If you’re in the middle of a game, you probably won’t even notice that it happened. If the whole mesh goes down..well..you’re still out of luck. The database that keeps track of everything is going through some improvements as well. All of the problems with strange contact list behavior are gone, and we’re adding a bunch of new information to support new features (clan support anyone?)
* Where is it
It’s not done yet. The framework for the server is done, and it runs just fine. The new engine can connect to it, and it can talk to the new database server and all of the other orbital servers. Features are being added daily, and I’ll post updates as work progresses.

I’ve just had it confirmed that the decrypted M ROMs added to the v1.08 build were not publicly available dumps. It seems I was misinformed and therefore have released this fixed build which restores these ROMs to their previous CRCs.

Xbox Dev Team about Xbox (360) Operating System
Author: Bill Naked Teens
From the Xbox Development Team blog:
[QUOTE]
One of the first questions I get when someone hears I work on Xbox is “So, what operating system do you guys use? Windows 2000, right?” I am honestly not sure where the Win2K misperception comes from, but Xbox runs a custom operating system built from the ground up. While our operating system exports many of the same APIs found in Win32 (e.g. CreateThread or WaitForSingleObject), not everything is there. For instance, there is no use for CreateWindow on Xbox - all graphics are done through (our own flavor of) Direct3D.
There are a number of reasons both Xbox and 360 have their own OS. First, it gives Xbox a chance to own its own destiny in terms of architecture. When you have your own operating system, it’s easy to go in and change things. Second comes performance. There isn’t much of a hardware abstraction layer on Xbox - most stuff talks almost directly to hardware. This eliminates a lot of software overhead you might find on a PC. Third is security. With our own operating system, it also becomes a lot easier to design & implement our own security architecture. As the community is finding out, there is a lot of custom stuff.
The operating system is more than just the kernel. On Windows, you have critical components such as EXPLORER.EXE, shlwapi.dll, user32.dll, and others that are required for your system to function. On Xbox 360, we have similarly critical components. When you see a required system update from Xbox Live, we are mostly updating these critical components with fixes as well as new features.
That’s a primer on our operating system. I wouldn’t want to spill all my guts in one post ‘cuz then I’d have nothing to talk about later on. Let us know if you want to know more about the OS in the comments…

* AngerWound Needs an XBox 360 for Xplorer360 Development!
Well, as you can see from the title above. Neither of the developers of Xplorer360 currently own an Xbox 360 to your amazement! Everything was written based on dumps, and then ported over to use actual devices.
This is why we unleashed Xplorer360 so early, to get some real testing done! However, we’d like to be able to test things on our own hardware before putting the public at risk with possible bugs.

XLink One Development Blog
Author: Bill Naked Teens
Team XLink is working on the new version of XLink Kai(info), named XLink One:
[QUOTE]
We’re happy to announce the creation of the xlink one development blog which is where we’ll be posting the latest news about the next release of XLink. Head over to http://dev.teamxlink.org and check it out. We’ve also set up a forum for related discussions.
Note: Requests for information or speculation related to a release date or timeframe will be met with scorn and disdain. We just don’t know when it’s going to be done.
* What’s changing
The Xlink Kai engine is split into two branches: the Windows engine, and kaid which runs on Linux, OSX, FreeBSD, and WRT54G/GS routers. Features have not always been the same across the two branches, and sometimes one or the other lags behind.
The xlink one engine is an update of the kaid which has also been ported over to Windows. We’ve also added support for WinPcap on the Windows platform, which means that it works on Windows XP x64 Edition computer as long as you have the latest release of WinPcap installed.
There will no longer be two branches of the engine. When something is updated, it’ll be released for all supported platforms at the same time. This also cuts our maintenance work in half meaning we’ll have more time to concentrate on improving the system instead of writing code twice for two different engines.
That’s not all that’s changing in the engine - there are other new features that we’ll talk about in the coming days that also affect the engine. But hopefully you get an idea of the direction we’re going in.
* What’s new
First, the new engine automatically detects and configures all of your network interfaces, even on non-Windows platforms. You can enable and disable each interface individually rather than just setting it to “Auto” or picking a single card.
If you have more than one connection to the Internet, you’ll enjoy the ability to either pick one or the other connection, or use both at once.
You’ll also be able to set up a “private” address that you can use if you’re behind a firewall or NAT router and want to play with other people who are behind the same firewall, but who aren’t on the same physical network segment as you. This is an expansion on the “Deep Resolution” feature that Kai has.
* When will it be released?
When it’s done.
