My 6-yr old son was asked to count from 1 to 100. His teacher's not quite sure how to grade this - I love it!:

Terrific! Praise his imagination. I remember being chided by a teacher for not writing '9' in three rows x 3 dots the way she explained it. I did 9 dots in a row. I recall being totally confused by her reaction. Math and I were never the same from that day on.

the XBox 360 is Microsoft's trojan horse towards taking over the living room of tomorrow. Just you watch. They are positioning it to be so much more than a game machine. This will all unfold in the next few years as the cable/satellite industry gets crushed. Stage one is to get as many of them into the hands of the general public as possible.

- April Russo (app103)
Thomas, I have to agree with you. They have already made big strides toward taking away any reason why someone would want to hack the XB360 for additional features. A web browser and/or YouTube (or even Hulu) support is a miss, but otherwise it supports media center, DivX, uPNP, DVD, rip music and games to HDD, the works. Oh, and now NetFlix streaming.
- Phil G
I just bought a used one from a tech friend (price was way right, clean unit), installed it last night, and I was blown away at how great it looks over HDMI. Not only that, but the movie and TV offerings was exactly how I got it passed by the 'finance committee' :D

I use it to listen to music while I do things around the house, I use it to show photos to friends, I use it to watch video from my computer on the big screen, now I get to use it for watching streaming Netflix movies... and of course I use it to school chumps in Halo.

@Thomas. The noise that the damn thing makes will put most people off using it for anything but games. I bet most consumers don't even realise that it can be used as a media player.

Paul, the new units are far, far, quieter than the original ones. Interestingly, when I sent my two original units in for repair, MSFT returned 2 new ones to me that were *far* quieter than the original units. I think they've got the noise problem down now.
- Thomas Hawk
The last one I just received from repair is way way quieter. you don't even notice it running now.
- Jason Shultz
from twhirl
Also, the new desktop OS lets you rip a game to the hard disk, so it's faster and doesn't activate the DVD drive while playing, which results in a lot less noise and heat.
- Kevin Fox
I bought one yesterday, for the game Lips. ;)
- Paul Whitaker
@Joel Tanner $7.99 for Gold + $8.99 for Netflix, I would say that's a fine price for watching streaming movies instantly on my TV. That is especially considering I frequently buy PPV movies from cable, which I won't do anymore. The Netflix video quality is very good, and I've watched 3 movies so far without getting any buffering or lag. My only complaint is that there are many, many, many movies that are not available for streaming.
- Tom Harrison
I remember back when On Demand channels came out - it was quite apparent "on demand" is the future of entertainment (except of course for things such as sporting events, to which there is a significant draw to watching live). Netflix and Microsoft are absolutely on the right track with this. I'd cancel cable TV if I wasn't the only one in the house.
- Tom Harrison
I'd cancel my cable but crappy AT&T forces me to buy TV from them if I want their high speed fiber UVerse internet service. Somehow that seems wrong to me.
- Thomas Hawk
I know. I totally don't want their TV service but am essentially paying for it anyways because I value faster internet that much. I think that they should let me cancel the TV service and just pay for the internet.
- Thomas Hawk
The NXE with Netflix streaming is the best thing to happen to the Xbox in a while. I'm getting so much more use out of it now.. and Rock Band 2 is awesome. The starting price of $200 for the Xbox 360 Arcade must have opened a lot of eyes this holiday season.

I've heard you can get a u-verse package, then cancel the TV and keep the internet. Haven't been willing to try it myself though.

Andy, they are based in Santa Clara, CA. Given this is a Web-facing position, I'm sure they are flexible on geography.
- Louis Gray
I'd like to talk to them, storage is something we all need.
- paul mooney
Louis, you know how much I make here in Utah - if they're willing to pay the bay area equivalent and move me out there I'd love to talk to them.
- Jesse Stay
I love these devices, I just need to get one on a slight discount :-)
- Chris Miller
Louis, Are they posting this job, or is it more informally listed?
- John Metta
The note from the founder essentially says: "We need to hire somebody who lives on the web and can manage online forums, feedback etc for Data Robotics." So, Paul, Jesse, etc., send me an e-mail to louisgray@mac.com and I'll send your data directly to the CEO.

@Chris ask and ye shall receive! http://www.amazon.com/Drobo-F...
- Stephen Foskett
before I start hammering them... :) "I have been looking at the Drobo unit but it has a couple of shortcomings that I am sure a Linux distro must be able to overcome. Firstly, it is a USB device with no Ethernet and secondly it is fairly expensive." http://tinyurl.com/58u6m6

I'd offer, sadly they're selling for an extortionate amount here in the UK and my argument with the dealers ended in a "would you stop a company making more money in a market where they can recoupe development costs more easily" knee jerk reaction of "It's a great product, I just resent paying over £300 for it when I could buy it in the US, ship it and pay import tax on it and still be choosing the cheaper option".

Do I get a free Drobo for doing so?
- xero
@silpol - they have an Ethernet add-on device for it now. The new one also has fireware.
- xero
@xero, you would have to talk to the hiring manager and HR on that. I don't work for Drobo, but I can see how the position might be very interesting to some people here.
- Louis Gray
The thing I don't get about the Drobo is that you have to pay extra to get the network connectivity - shouldn't it be there out of the box?
- Andy Davies
Andy, no doubt many agree with you. I don't have their roadmap in front of me, so who knows what they have planned. Whoever gets this job will probably get that answer before the general public.
- Louis Gray
Interesting. I live very close to them... wonder if I should give it a try?
- Uncle CW™
@Louis, all the same I know a few people in the UK who rave about the Drobo so they must be doing something right...
- Andy Davies
Do I get a free Drobo?
- cecily
Who do I contact?
- Christina Warren
Chris and Christina, send me an e-mail to louisgray@mac.com and I can pass your data along.
- Louis Gray
my drobos are awesome. Replicated primary storage all the way baby!
