Why it’s Too Soon for the Next Xbox

February 12, 2008 by Abdalla Ahmed · Leave a Comment

Lucas DeWoody of kombo wrote a good post detailing why it is too soon for the next Xbox console. A lot of people have been speculating another release within the next upcoming year but were barely into the current console so why should microsoft release xbox “3″ ?

Lucas explains why microsoft released xbox 360 so early along with the best game ever, halo 3. He goes on to state why this gave them (microsoft) a great advantage in terms of how the xbox 360 kicked playstation 3’s ass all over “the playground”. Was sony Rushed into developing their so called superior console? Find below an extract of the article:

“Microsoft had reasons to kill the original Xbox when they did. After Halo 2 and the largest media hype storm of any video game in history, the Xbox had more or less peaked. There was nothing left to say or do that could meet that level of commercial insanity.

Also, the machine was poorly built from a production standpoint. The Xbox was made mostly from off-the-shelf PC parts rather than a strict proprietary design. This made cost-cutting difficult and kept Microsoft from cutting a profit from hardware sales. Microsoft wanted a chance to do it right, and with the Xbox 360 (as of fall 2007) they finally turned a small profit. The Xbox was Microsoft’s time to learn on the job, so obviously they wanted a chance to start over and play the game right once they knew what they were doing.

Gamers appeared willing to let them off the hook that time, so life moved on without much being said about the early death and wasted potential of the first Xbox. Now that Microsoft knows what they are doing and are making money with the 360, you would assume the 360 has a nice long shelf life ahead of it, right? Don’t blindly assume that Microsoft intends to follow the old unwritten rule of a 5-6 year hardware lifecycle now that they are industry streetwise. “

Hair Transplant = Technology?

February 10, 2008 by Ghumra · Leave a Comment

I normally review technology such as gadgets and gizmos but when someone promises to keep my hair intact when im old then I would review that aswell. Dr Shapiro promises hair transplants at cheap rates if you live in the South Florida Area.

Hair transplantation involves relocating (transplanting) bald resistant hair follicles from the back and sides of the head (the donor areas) to a person?s bald or thinning areas. The transplanted hair follicles will typically grow hair for a lifetime because they are genetically resistant to going bald.

In recent years hair transplantation techniques have evolved from using large plugs and mini grafts to exclusively using large numbers of small grafts that contain from between 1 to 4 hairs. Dr Shapiro promises $3 per graft so your getting a good deal.

Dr. Lawrence J. Shapiro has been in practice since 1989. He has performed over 10,000 micro-mini graft procedures. As a dermatologist (the treatment of skin, hair, and nails) he specializes exclusively in hair transplant surgery.

Dr. Shapiro was the first to do a “strip incision” and the first doctor in the Southern U.S. to specialize in “micro-mini grafts.” He developed this treatment to a state of the art procedure while others were and still are using plugs and other outdated methods.

So if your after a hair transplant, check drshapiroshairinstitute.com.
