The second Xbox 360 revealed: codename Zephyr

Uncategorized
So here is a nifty piece of information for all the quizzers.

Ever wonder why Microsoft hasn’t released an HDMI cable for the Xbox 360, or whether the AV port was really capable of digital out? Well, here’s your answer: we landed pictures of what appears to be the second Xbox 360 — the Xbox 360 v2, if you will — codenamed Zephyr. (The original Xbox 360, if you recall, was codenamed Xenon.) The long rumored about and awaited update to the console won’t just feature a new, cooler 65nm processor, it’s also finally added an HDMI port for full digital 1080p pleasure, as well as a 120GB drive, just what the doctor ordered. The 120GB drive may or may not come bundled with the kit, we don’t yet know, just as we also don’t yet know how much a Zephyr 360 is going to run (we imagine it’ll go for the same price as currently so they can keep up a little on their expanding margin). But our very kind Xbox insider seemed happy to let us know we’d be able to get them “soon.”

hi everyone,

some intresting tricks which i found recently:-

1)this trick allows you to create anonymous folders.
for this trick to work use the num-lock numbers ie. numbers given on the right hand side of your keyboard.
first,create a new folder on the desktop.
now click rename.
then press alt + 0160
done.

2)this trick will help you to increase the speed of your internet connection.
do the following steps:-
i)go —run—-gpedit.msc
ii)Then go to:Local Computer Policy
then Computer Configurationthen Administrative Templates
then Network
then QOS Packet Scheduler and
then to Limit Reservable Bandwidth.
the properties will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the ‘Explain’ tab i.e.”By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default.”
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.It works on Win 2000 as well.

3)here’s a gmail server update:-
the gmail server fails to recognise (.)-dots . so whats the use, well the thing is if your e-mail i.d. is ank3it@gmail.com then a.n.k.3.i.t@gmail.com is also valid. so if you compose a mail and send it to a.n.k.3.i.t@gmail.com or a.n.k3it@gmail.com or ank.3.it@gmail.com then the same person will receive it. however this type of recognition is invalid on the login page.
