XBox 360 Problem update

Hello there! Well it seems as if Microsoft has released some data according to Gizmodo. This was one of today's rss feeds from Gizmodo.

"We always knew the Xbox 360 failure rate was high, but the only time Microsoft's put any sort of solid numbers on the thing it was always somewhere around 5%. Retailers, on the other hand, have just reported a failure rate of somewhere over 30%. That's pretty ridonkulous. It's a good thing Microsoft support is usually pretty good about taking them back, so you don't have to go all Picard and shout about how many lights there are over the phone.

From what we've seen in unconfirmed reports on the Net, the problem comes from insufficient cooling for the GPU. This in turn causes the three red lights, which means you're going to have to send back your 360 to Microsoft and possibly get a dirty refurbished unit in return. If you're really, really lucky (and French), you'll get a unit with added cooling as well.

Massive Failure Rate For Xbox 360 Exposed [Smarthouse]"

Whoa! 30% that can't be good.

Tell me what you think.

PeeCee Problems

So yesterday somebody went on our computer in the basement. They clicked on their name and logged in. A error message popped up saying that their profile was missing and that Windows was going to make a temporary one. She clicked OK and then while it was loading, it froze. After 5 minuets she powered down the PC and tried again to no avail. She tried again and this time it came up with a generic desktop (like the one you would find in Safe Mode.) She tried to log on to the Internet but it then didn't show her name only "Guest." Since she really had work to do she continued working with all of these kinds of random problems. Today I checked around and made a backup. I looked and her settings were still messed up. I did the only real thing I could do (Besides reintsalling Windows) a System Restore to 2 days before. Luckily when it restarted everything was fixed but I still don't get something. What the heck happened?
If you know or have a suggestion please comment!

Mouse Issues

I just bought a new Microsoft Notebook mouse. My hopes was to use it when I traveled with my laptop. It has a cool side scrolling feature and felt solid in my hand. So I went to go install it on my laptop. I put the disc in and it started up. The first thing that popped up was a message that said that in order to install this mouse I would have to uninstall The older drivers. Along time ago I used a basic 2 button scroll mouse from Microsoft so I said OK and clicked Continue. The next window that popped up was the Logitech Setpoint uninstaller! I have a Logitech keyboard and mouse that I currently use and like a lot. I don't want to uninstall them! I clicked Cancel. Then the window that came up before, popped up again!
I really wanted to use the new mouse! You'd think that it would be possible to have two mice drivers installed at once.
Bloody Mouse
Oh well, tell me if you have an idea.

No Life

I'm not sure what this person's name but tell me what you think of this.
Some lawyer is suing a small dry cleaning store.
The reason? They lost his pants.
The amount he is suing for? $54 Million!
He says he is suing them because the didn't live up to the two signs they had on their wall that said "Next Day Service" and "Satisfaction Guaranteed." Give me a break. 54 Million?
Somebody doesn't have a life.
I'm not sure if this is true but somebody said that he was also unemployed. I wonder why?
I think that the dry cleaner should pay him 50 bucks or what ever the pants caost and be done with it. Or they could countersue! He He.
Tell me what you think.

XBox 360


You think stuff is suposed to get better the second time around. All I see with the XBox360 is an overpriced hunk of crud that is marginally better than the origional. The 360 is plagued by problems. Shall I list?
Overheating
Hardware Failure
Hard Drive Crashes
Freezing

Don't get me wrong, I would love to get one but I mean come on, Microsoft! After this many years you think that a huge company could make reliable hardware!

Edit: I found out that Microsoft (in some countries) is reworking the cooling system in peoples' 360s for free.
