Is this your first job in espionage? LOL

Sounds interesting.

[PapaStu]

And your posting about it online....

/me rolls his eyes

Motive alone can get people fired... and usually this stuff is propietary so yeah.... they do tend to get pretty miffed about it. Good luck!

[jajaja]

Yep, I wouldnt take or leak any picture of it.

[yok-dfa]

I still think it would be cool to get some pictures with my handy new motorola Razr and post them up here as a DP first.

Erm. I don't know how bad you want to (keep) this job, but i'm pretty sure some security guys will come and escort you to the closest exit when they find out. Trust me, violating NDAs (as you will probably have to sign them by the dozens) is one of the fastest ways to get you fired...

Felix, I swear, you're the weirdest bloke I know. LOL

[kevincure]

The above warnings are good to keep in mind, but I doubt they would have to sign an NDA not to show the shape of the console. Still, it's better not to say what developer you work for just in case they do :-).

BTW.. does anybody find it strange that the company who designed WINDOWS has companies using macs to develop?? Im going to ask about that tomorrow.. I think its just because the G5 was the only dual processor system available at the time.. any other ideas?

Gates owns a shit-ton of Apple stock, so I'm sure its all the same to him. Its likely due to the architecture being so similar with, like you said, the dual CPU. Doesn't the 360 use a variation on the PowerPC chip too?

OOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDD NEWS

Am i the only one up to scratch with this xbox360 shit?


Xbox 360 Development Kit Pictures
>> The guys over at macned.nl (a dutch Mac site) posted pictures of the Xbox2 (codename Xenon) development kits. The kit is a Power Mac G5 dual 2Ghz with 512MB of RAM memory. The Power Mac has an ATI X800 gfxcard with a R420 chipset and the site claims the dev kit mentions "xBox 360" during boot-up, another confirmation for "Xbox 360" as retailname for the Xbox2/Xbox Next/Xenon.
Sources at TeamXbox confirm that this is indeed the current XDK game developers are using to develop Xbox 360 games.

Its been long known that billygates uses apples for ms, the xbox360 is based on the powerpc processor after all.
