Xbox360 vs Xbox360 Slim

Xbox has released a new version of the Xbox360 console. Similar to what Playstation did, Xbox has decided to slim down the bulkiness of their console. Although it wasn't ridiculously over-sized to begin with, they decided to revamp the model into a new console that really isn't a whole lot smaller. However the design of the system seems much cooler, it is the functionality that we hope has improved. The original xbox360 consoles were prone to overheating and continually got the RROD (Red Ring of Death) which basically meant your xbox was fried, although some people have managed to fix their own RROD problems in strange ways. While the new xbox360 is said to be very unlikely to receive the RROD, there are still skeptics who have their doubts, and for good reasons. While it is more energy efficient, energy efficiency tends to cause problems like lag or delay, as well as quality at times because that is generally the trade-off when trying to conserve energy. One nice thing about the new Xbox360 is the built in wireless connect-ability as apposed to the $100 add-on wireless adapter. The touch sensitive buttons are a nice touch to the design but as I said, the design really hasn't been condensed much which makes it hard to believe that the system has received much more than an exterior make-over. While I haven't seen how efficiently the system runs in terms of FPS and quality, my first impression is that is cool but more than likely not going to be worth the starting MSRP. I also find it unlikely that these will sell well with the other xbox360's currently on the market that are just as good in the eye of the consumer, not to mention that it is rumored that microsoft is looking to push a $50 price cut incentive on old xbox360 models to remove them from retailers. A price cut is going to be hard for most consumers to pass up who are actually in the market for an xbox console, let alone the people who will have no interest because they have a perfectly fine xbox360. I just wish they had included the wireless feature in the old models.

Some of you Know it as Natal

Originally, xbox has planned for there new gaming set up where you became the controller, similar to Wii, to be called Natal. A recent name change seemed in order upon their unveiling at the E3 convention changing its name to Kinect. This interesting new concept by microsoft seems to be revolutionizing gaming as we know it with tons of futuristic concepts already in place like voice controlled set ups, games where you are the only controller, and of course the new webcam that is being included to create a more personal feel reaching to millions across the globe. This new system allows the xbox to become more personally connected, recognizing you when you enter the room or approach the xbox. All of this is done with a small sensor box that attaches at the bottom of your tv that is designed to recognize every movement you make. While the say gameplay and functionality may vary, I am sure Kinect is far from free of glitches, but like Wii, it is a start to a very interesting movement for gaming and technology alike.

Web Camera Software

New professional security software works with
any webcamera, IP cameras, and major capture cards.

Security software

has become so complicated that the average
user who has been busy minding his store instead of pouring over electronics and online
know-how articles can be easily overwhelmed when it comes time to install or update his security system.


Fortunately, there is new professional surveillance software that simplifies much of the decision making.
You don't necessarily have to get rid of a working analog CCTV system in order to renew to a streaming
video that can be watched from any online connected pc or 3G phone. Video capture cards can digitally convert the
images for webcast. Until recently, there had been no real attempts to regulate the new Internet
cameras; every make and manufacturer functioned a little differently. And when you put webcams into the
join, using one application to control them all was cumbersome.



Professional surveillance software

is now available that will work for any camera
or Internet webcam and for most capture cards as well. You can supervise anything your movement
sensors are picking up at your home or firm while you can be half a globe away.
The software itself may not be easy, but it can get life simpler for you.

Broadcasting online video and audio from capture device
via webcamera server software

Security application

If you find yourself with a need to record surveillance video with a camera over an area,

webcamera
server application

may be the right choice for you. Using this application, it is possible to set up a
camera to detect movement and begin recording once it does.

Depending on your needs, the sights and sounds that are picked up by the camera may be stored on a hard drive, or if the captured video
needs to be accessible off-site, can be webcast using the server's streaming
function to a web site.

Depending on the quality of the webcam and the viewer's video card, the picture that is recorded may be as clear as a high-definition tv signal.
Using a setup like this, it is possible to provide a measure of surveillance for an area when
the economics of the situation do not justify hiring a security business or setting up a professional monitoring system.

This

do-it-yourself approach

can save money while not compromising on security.

I'm using webcamera software. I
can broadcast Online video to watch my home
from everywhere.

With my new

webcam software, I can run a streaming tv station
of my room visible online. This opens up a league
of possibilities, the surface of which has not even been scratched in today's world. I can use
this webcast for surveillance purposes, allowing me to see what's going on in my room
at any moment from a remote viewing station.

As long as I have the webcam
running and a remote station with Internet access, I can view the site.
With the software and the camera, I can change the settings to capture video,
sense movement (if I don't want to keep the webcam running at all times),
or use a combination of a live feed and recorded video to implement a protection
system that takes full advantage of new technology.

With a capture card,
I can easily transfer appropriate video and screenshots to use on
any pc.

With delicate data on my workstation
and expensive stuff in my home,
it only makes sense to have a security setup that I can monitor whenever I feel that my privacy
is being compromised. If I owned a small firm or lived with roommates, I couldn't imagine
living without it.

Darksiders

What was supposed to be an epic game, similar to God of War, turns out to be a dangerously close knock-off of a mix of games including Devil May Cry, Dark Sector, Prince of Persia, and even Zelda at some points. That aside, players give it an average of 4 out of 5 stars according to many prominent gaming sites. Playing as one of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse, you are out for vengeance against those who tricked you into starting the final confrontation between Heaven and hell. Each stage of battle is basically another level of hell, a dungeon that you must fight your way through to continually acquire pieces of the puzzle to who set you up. In a continued effort to restore balance you must constantly defeat dungeon bosses to set things straight. Personally I am yet to play this one but it is a game I hope to try soon as it seems very interesting and personally enjoyed the God of War. Check out the trailer and see what you think.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Pack

So I purchased the resurgence map pack earlier today, yes I know I didn't get it the day it came out, I was busy with work. Anyway, the maps are definitely as cool as the trailer made them seem which is awesome. Usually epic trailers tend to let me down. But the resurgence map pack is definitely worth the 1200 microsoft points for anyone who is on the fence right now. If you don't believe me check out youtube for some of the latest gameplay. So far I have played Trailer Park, Fuel, and the classic strike, but am yet to see Vacant and the one I really want to play, Carnival. I came close to playing Carnival but the party was abandoning and I get sent to another party. At that point I was done trying to get Carnival and just turned off the Xbox. So if you haven't gotten the Resurgence Pack yet you better hop on board and learn these new maps. And check out the gameplay footage if you really aren't sure if you want to buy the map pack for the best game out for Xbox.
