Well you may remember that Microsoft was trying to buy Yahoo for 44 Billion Dollars! (Post here) Anyway, Microsoft has now pulled there bid, after offering Yahoo an extra 5 billion then another 4billion on top of the original 44 billion, that’s 53 Billion Dollars! But still yahoo weren’t having it! So Microsoft have now officially given up with the bidding and decided not to buy Yahoo after all, seems there will never be a MicroHoo!

Hey Guys,
Well I am pretty late at jumping on the band-wagon, but I have finally got round to getting a 360!
My brother was selling his xbox for an awesome price, so I had to get it! It came with 5 games, two wireless controllers, 20GB HDD and I added a Xbox to VGA Cable and also a Wireless Adapter thing. I am really impressed with it so far and online play is just unreal. Microsoft have done something right; Xbox Live.
The way xbox live fits in with the whole xbox experience is just awesome. Sadly I cannot get my Wireless Adopter working with my Time Capsule, many people have had the same problem and I am looking for a solution - I will probably dig out the old Airport Extreme and connect that up in my bedroom.
When you get xbox live working, its awesome! Registering an account is seemless, although I was annoyed that I had to have a parents Hotmail account to register as I am under 18. If you are under the age of 18 then your parent must have a hotmail account (I just used one of my old ones, works fine!).
My next purchase might be the Xbox 360 ChatPad (reviewed by Ryan), I am not sure though as I can just plug in a normal USB keyboard which works fine. Also I need a VGA Switcher to allow me to switch between my computer and xbox, as I am using the same monitor for both - its a tad fiddly switching between them manually.
If you want to play with me, then heres my gamertag; WizzzHack
Thanks,

P.S. I will post as I get used to things/new features I find.
Hey people. It has been two weeks since I did my last weekend tutorial, but I’m back and here to tell you how to install windows xp or vista on a Mac, without removing your current Mac operating System.
Now first things first, you will need a copy of Leopard already installed on your pc and you will need the Leopard disk, if you have a family pack disk this will not effect your maximum computer limit. You will also need a copy of Windows XP or Vista and a wired keyboard. You should also back up all your files in case something goes wrong!
Hey, well it’s finally time for my second weekend tutorial! This week I will be telling you how to run an operating system over your current windows operating system! Last week I showed you how to run Linux from a USB flash drive in a similar way, but this time you will be running it without a flash drive!
Why would you want to do this? Because you can easily set up an operating system without removing your current system or setting up a partition! If you are like me and run on windows vista then you may need to run older versions of windows so you can successfully run programs and alike without any damage to your pc!
Futronic’s new USB fingerprint scanner can detect a living human finger and finger print from a silicon or fake finger that is used to crack it; it is said that this finger print scanner can never be cracked! Although I think I remember watching a mythbusters episode that had a scanner much like this one and they managed to crack it with a photocopied finger print retreated from a CD case, then, to fool the system, they put the photocopy on there own finger and then cracked it!
So I don’t think this is literally impossible to crack, I would love to have a go at cracking one, sounds fun! Well this hasn’t been my best post but I thought I would post it incase you have any interest.
Thank you for reading,
Brian
