Team Xecuter: X360USB PRO Production Begins
>> From x360usb.com:
[QUOTE]
Finally, after several months of development and thousands of hours of testing and improvements (17 Firmware updates, 5 PCB revisions, countless software features and additions etc), with a BETA team of 18 members hammering the crap out of the X360USB PRO to make sure it is as rock solid as possible, the X360USB PRO has finally been green lit for production. The fact that we kept our heads and made sure that this wasn't a rushed project, that was developed and tested correctly by a huge team of experienced individuals so that everything worked in full on it's release to the public, will not only prove to everyone that this was most definitely worth the wait, but when it comes to our products we truly care about anything that has our name on it, and if you are willing to spend your hard earned money then we better damn well do the best job that we possibly can. You will never get half-assed from us !
We will run a batch of PCB Only versions and make sure a whole bunch of resellers get their hands on them so those early adopters can have a play before an official retail release. The full retail package will be shipping in force in the next 2-3 weeks.
If you would like to get your hands on a PCB Only version (will simply come without the case - functionality will be 1:1 retail), then let your reseller know so they can request how many they would like.
There are also other goodies in development as add-ons to the X360USB PRO which we will reveal soon. We will also (maybe, finally!) have time to actually push a retail release of the CK3-CP :p
Also, keep any eye out for a whole bunch of new retailers that have signed up to be direct distributors. If there isn't a dealer in your country then give them a poke and let them know what they are missing out on !
Here are a few pics to get those taste buds tingling.....

Is Microsoft Zune about to be Kinned?
>> From zdnet.com:
[QUOTE]
Over the past few days, more and more Microsoft watchers are noticing that Microsoft execs seem to be making a deliberate effort to avoid using the Z (Zune) word. That avoidance has set off a wave of speculation.
A spokesperson responded to my question late in the day of February 14:
“We’re not ‘killing’ any of the Zune services/features in any way. Microsoft remains committed to providing a great music and video experience from Zune on platforms such as Xbox LIVE, Windows-based PCs, Zune devices and Windows Phone 7, as well as integration with Bing and MSN.”
Windows Supersite blogger Paul Thurrott’s rebranding theory is sounding more and more plausible. But I’m thinking that Microsoft may opt to rebrand Zune as “Xbox entertainment,” rather than anything to do with Windows Live. After all, the Zune service already is available on the Xbox. And the rumored Zune HD2 — supposedly a device meant to compete with the iPod Touch — easily could be positioned and marketed as a portable gaming device.
Some veteran Microsoft heavy-hitters are moving to the Xbox division, as I’ve blogged recently, and are seemingly working on some kind of services-focused project. And the Zune team — which Microsoft split and reorged (twice) — is already in the Interactive Entertainment Business division, which is the home of the Xbox. Maybe the Zune service will end up as part of the evolving Microsoft IPTV strategy?

Microsoft upgrade to let phones connect to Xbox
>> From news.yahoo.com:
[QUOTE]
Now that it has hooked up with Nokia Corp. phones, Microsoft Corp. hopes to connect its phone software to the Xbox this year too.
Microsoft showed a video of three people using an Xbox game console with a Kinect camera. One of them, standing in front of the camera, "dodged" balls that appeared on the TV screen, sent by the two other players from their Windows phones.

C4Eva: Write Solution for 0225 Slim LiteOn drives Coming, Slim FW Progress
>> Updates from C4Eva on #FW@EFnet (via c4evaspeaks.com) about the iXtreme LT+ for 'Slim' LiteOn drives (9504 anmd 0225):
[QUOTE]
[A*****] is there any method to extract the key to swap drive on a Slim 0225? Tarablinda not working…
[c4eva] A*****:yes :)
[s*****] tarablina isn’t for 0225
[s*****] 9504
[A*****] so what is for 0225?
[s*****] ask c4
[A*****] lot of sites says 0225's key can be extracted but nowhere say how
[c4eva] a****:x360usb/jf,very easy!
[a****] can you write slim fw also using x360usb/jf c4eva ? or will we need additional hardware
[d*********] now do you have to eject it first and then power off to avoid being flagged or will powering off before 3 minutes be enough?
[c4eva] a****:9504 yes, 0225 write solution is forthcoming!
[d*********] so if i boot an unpatched ap25 game on lt+ 1.1 do you have to eject and power off or will just turning it off within 3 minutes be ok to avoid the flag?
[c4eva] d*********:ok
[b********] c4eva: can i use a extra 9504 liteon drive on my 0225 liteon, flashed with the upcoming 0225 fw?
[b********] cause is the same model
[s*****] sounds like alot of work to spoof slims
[d*********] does anything happen after the 3 minutes with the blank screen or does it just stay blank because i think i got it off before 3 minutes
[c4eva] b********:yes
[d*********] c4eva, does it go back to the dash after the 3 minutes or anything like that?
[dj******] c4eva: will both versions of slim come along or separately?
[dj******] I mean, liteon slim, not hitachi
[c4eva] currently debugging extra slim fw stealth features, looking good so far, more soon!as i said x360usb to dump 0225 key very easy!
[b********] so the problem is flashing
[yf******] so you can avoid ap2.5 failed challenges flagging you if you just power off fast enough?
[b********] Brand – Philips: Lite-On
[b********] Model – DG-16D4S
[b********] FW Version – 74850C
[c4eva] yf******:yes if using lt+
[b********] i saw that at ebay
[b********] the new liteon with a old fw
[c4eva] 0225 write solution is coming!
[b********] we can swap the 0225 liteon with that one
[b********] i hope so :p
[c4eva] b********:no, will need 9504 or a 0225!
[b********] hmm
[b********] yeah
[b********] but i mean using the upcoming 0225 fw on that drive
[b********] cause is a dg-16d4s model
[c4eva] b********:no,must be 9504 or 0225!
[c4eva] drive
