Thanks Jeff. Microsoft has changed the internal configuration of its Xbox game console, a move intended to thwart hackers and lower manufacturing costs. Word of the changes began spreading on sites devoted Xbox hacking, with some buyers of recently manufactured Xbox units complaining that mod chips designed for the original console won't work now. Microsoft Xbox spokeswoman Molly O'Donnell confirmed that the company had made minor changes to the console's configuration as part of ongoing efforts to "increase security and reduce overall costs." | ||

Back to the drawing board...
"An Australian hobbyist posting on the Xbox Hacker site said he tried all currently available mod chips on the new Xbox configuration and none worked." |

Or...how I spent $1,200 to make my $199 Xbox run like a $599 computer. |

| #9 - Actually, Xerox never gave Apple anything. Steve Jobs took a tour of PARC, and used what he saw there. Xerox had no patents on the technology, so there was no legal recourse. |

RANT-
Xerox sue Apple for stealing the look and feel of its Star operating system for the Macintosh OS. Xerox's suit was thrown out, in part because the company had apparently failed to notice the striking resemblance between the two operating systems during the first five years of the Macintosh's existence. |
