Xbox Pure was meant to be the name of an upcoming Xbox 360, perhaps a
slimline version or a new 360 successor, but has turned out to be a
fake blog posting to see which games sites would run with it. With so
many rumours online, was this a fair test of a gamer site’s
fact-checking skills?

The news that Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s
Yahoo webmail account was hacked is all over the Internet. Your webmail
could be hackable in the same way – here’s how to make it much harder

Foxtel is progressively rolling out its “four tuners” functionality
that allows 2 shows to be recorded while you watch one live – but

Exit Reality – it’s the new plugin that’s going to transform every
single website into a 3D virtual world, and unleash the power of 3D to
everyone. So, why am I stuck in the reality of herky-jerky 3D motion,
which is giving me a really bad first impression?!

With Windows 7 built upon the strong foundation of Windows Vista SP1
and Windows Server 2008, the rumours that Windows 7 could come months
earlier than expected sound like good news to me, with the upcoming PDC
promising a new beta!

It’s funny – Optus owns Virgin, but “lets” Virgin totally outclass it
with a pre-paid broadband plan that quite frankly isn’t stupid. What is
it, good cop and bad cop? Whatever it is... Virgin’s pre-paid broadband
is the best one yet.

Apple Australia’s third official Apple Store has finally opened, this
time in the Chadstone Shopping Centre in suburban Melbourne, with
hundreds of fans lined up to see, touch and feel everything Apple. As
you might have expected, Apple laid the pizzazz on thick, with endless
whoops and cheers, while giving us all the chance to see Apple’s latest
and greatest!

CRN blogger Brian Kramer is suffering a bout of iPod upgrade fatigue,
despite the fact he thinks he’ll buy one anyway, already owns an iPod
and is a Mac user. Too bad for Kraemer he isn’t as funny as the real
Kramer, who looks a heck of a lot funnier than Jerry Seinfeld in the
new Microsoft ad!

So those pics of the new iPod nano were spot on, as were the rumours
about iTunes. The nano comes in 9 colours, there’s a new iPod Touch
with speakers, volume control, Nike+ and 36 hours of audio, and OS 2.1
software arrives at last – but there’s no 64GB iPod Touch, and no 32GB
iPhone 3G.

No, there’s no need to take a Bex and lie down at the news that yet
another brand of consumer electronics is launching in Australia. The
new brand is an old one: Memorex – and we bet they’ll want to put a hex
on competitors’ sales!

Challenged by my iTWire colleague and Linux lover Sam Varghese to come
up with 40 reasons to lose Linux and vote Vista, I’ve done just that.

Windows Vista is in the news again, thanks to the incomprehensible
start to the new campaign featuring Gates and Seinfeld, but also
because of the growing threat to Windows Vista posed by different
flavours of Linux, XP and Mac OS X. But none of those things stop Vista
from being Microsoft’s best OS yet.

Internet time moves so fast that you can blink, and all of a sudden,
Skype has turned 5 years old! Several interesting milestones have been
reached along the way, most of which have been pretty remarkable, although there have been a couple of hiccups along the way...

Oooh... if the latest iPod photo leak can be believed, Apple’s bringing
the orange colour back to the iPod range, suggesting other colours
might be on the way, too. What else can we expect from Apple’s upcoming
launch?
