Microsoft stays mum on continued Xbox Live hack coverage, blames customers

When you’re the victim of fraud most people tend to think that they’re going to get immediate support to help remedy the issue. I mean c’mon, we’re talking money here! Y’know, the stuff that makes the world go round? Unfortunately, a quick resolution to this sorta of theft is as big a dillusion as thinking you’re going to feel right-as-rain upon arriving at the hospital after a horrific car crash. It’s just not going to happen, especially when you’re given the run-around. Specifically, after a stunning number of frauds being reported within the past week from Xbox Live, you’d think Microsoft would be ready with a band-aid at least, no? Sadly, so is not the case. In fact, their public statement reassures customers that there’s nothing going on beyond users being too lax with passwords and letting their guards down against phishing tactics. The facts say otherwise. — More after the break!

Nintendo issues fix for Zelda Skyward Sword game breaking glitch

So last night I personally just finished the Song of Hero quest, which roughly is at the very last leg of your journey to complete the main adventure, and I came out of it unscathed. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case for what could be hundreds of fellow Skywardians (?) who’ve been plagued by a stupid game-breaking glitch. Well, unlike the olden days in which you would have to start all over again, Nintendo will be releasing a specific channel on the Wii to help restore game saves. — More after the break!

What happens when you’re rich and you have a crap-load of time?

Windows Phone 7 handsets can be disabled with a single specific SMS text

If I didn’t already own an iPhone then I’d definitely be the proud owner of one of those snazzy Windows Phone 7 handsets. I mean, the only reason why I don’t have one right now is the lack of support it gets as a platform. Though with reports about a single line of text disabling phones from a distance I don’t envy those who do have one. — More after the break!

"The Kinect Effect" - Microsoft was dumb to deny developers in the first place - Video

When the Kinect was released to the public it immediatly sparked ideas for better applications than just video games, but Microsoft did everything they could to “crack down” on 3rd party developers messing with Kinect. Developers hacked it anyways and essentially forced Microsoft to take the modding community seriously, because what they were creating was all incredible. Microsoft may not have the forward thinking required to see when something has potential, but they sure as hell know how to get us excited!

Siri hacked to work on iPhone 4 and iPod touch

The iPhone 4S may be twice as fast as its predecessor and also feature a pretty sweet camera, capable of shooting at 1080p resolutions, but the reason why anyone was really convinced to fork over the extra cash for the new handset was the introduction of the Siri voice-activated personal assistant app. But why is it that it was only available for the 4S when technically it could run on the current iPhone 4? Well, someone decided to test out this theory, and you can guess the results. — More after the break!
