Microsoft releases Xbox dashboard update, available to everyone -- (Video)
Tons of new features — probably more than ever seen in one single update since NXE first launched a few years ago. On top of loads of Kinect functionality, you also get TV options for subscribers of certain cable services across the globe. We won’t go into them here since the list is pretty extensive but Major Nelson has been kind enough to do that for us — seen HERE.

"Pirating is a-okay, contributes to music sales," says the Swiss government
So there’s this thing called piracy, and it’s sorta all the rage with folks looking to save some cash. While Jack Black may think that piracy selfishly robs funds from out of the pockets of rock gods, the Swiss government however has officially (meaning on paper) found that there’s no evidence to support that claim. On the contrary, from their studies they ran into a pretty interesting fact; that those who pirate entertainment are more likely to spend that extra wad of cash toward either attending concerts or buying other sorts of merchandise. In other words, the people in charge of Switzerland rejected legislation for new laws that fight against digital file-sharing when none were necessary to begin with. — More after the break!

Julian Assange: "iPhone, Blackberry, Gmail users are all 'screwed' -- (Video)
If you live in the year 2011 and believe that your internet, mobile, and social activity isn’t monitored on a 24/7 hour basis then my friend, I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Julian Assange paints the picture quite bluntly in this video where he explains that in a post-9/11 world, it’s more common than you think that spy software is being contracted out by local governments to monitor its citizens — even on their private devices.

Xenoblade finally making its way to North America, exclusively at GameStop
Well, lookie here! It would appear that after much griping from JRPG fans, Nintendo has actually caved in and will be releasing one of the titles from Operation Rainfall’s demands list in North America after all. Xenoblade Chronicles, which up until a few months ago was a Japanese exlusive (which then branched out with localized versions in Europe), is finally getting ported over to the states and its north and southern neighbors as well. And when we say ported over, we mean “ported over” — as in we’re getting the British voice track. Not only that, but you’re only going to be able to buy the store at one place. Can you guess where? — More after the break!

Steve Jobs shares his vision of the world with you -- (Video)
During my read of the Steve Jobs’ biography I’ve come to the not-so-surprising realization that Jobs always felt he was a pea out of the pod, a rebel, someone who deserved more attention than what was due to any one person, even when he was an unaccomplished teenager. And I think it’s that will-power, that belief that the world can be anything you want it to be, that garnered him the success he chased after for so long.

Google's billions in profit put into perspective -- (Infographic)
It’s a law of nature that we grow up being taught that Google is richer than any search engine company ever should be. We don’t question it. But have you ever wondered just exactly how much Google pockets each year, and how much of that comes from advertising and its other countless services? For the most part none of this info should come as a shock to anyone but it does give you some perspective into just how disgustingly, fithly rich Sergey and Larry are and also how much power they have running the big G we all depend on. — More after the break!
