Team EvolutionX: Smartxx leaked m8 bios(beta):::... From Team EvolutionX(info) on evolutionx.info: [QUOTE] Franz, from smartxx, decided to release OUR bios without our acknowledgement. This bios was being tested, and there are many known bugs in this build. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS BIOS. PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT. [hamtitampti] i have already a dead box [hamtitampti] i not said it will not boot [hamtitampti] i said we should not do it [XXXXX] but m8 boots 1.0-1.6.. [hamtitampti] but it kills the box YES, you read it. He said that the m8 build he released kills 1.6 xbox's but he has decided to release it anyway. Franz was not even given the bios to test, and he does/did NOT work on this bios and just decided to release it as his. How can a modchip maker do that ? ask them yourself. While they are answering why they leaked our bios, maybe they can answer questions about their "Live Detection Prevention with Crypt-Stealth Technology" that we are all waiting on. And also about MS banning users based on their hard drive.

Xbox + PC = ?:::...
From money.cnn.com: [QUOTE] The B/R/S Group, a California-based market research company that lists Microsoft and the Xbox division specifically as clients, has been gathering consumer feedback on a device it refers to as Xbox Next PC – "a videogame console system with a hard drive and a built-in fully functional PC." Mention of the device came on one of several slides shown to focus groups. One slide describes the unit, which would require a PC monitor or high definition television, as being backward compatible with current and next-generation Xbox titles. It would also play PC games and include a fully functional version of Windows, CD burner, DVD player (with remote control), built-in access to Xbox Live and a hard drive. Control-wise, the system would come with both a keyboard and mouse and a standard Xbox controller. The price point this particular study tested was $599. B/R/S officials declined to comment for this column, citing a strict confidentiality agreement with Microsoft. Should Microsoft move forward with a hybrid machine, it will likely come after a standalone Xbox 2 unit is released. As for when we'll see next generation Xboxes on store shelves - officially, Microsoft isn't commenting, but it has been giving publishers guidance to plan for a 2005 launch.
