Play station 3 and X-box 360 combined?

If you were thinking that what you see above is just another PC mod work, then you’re definitely wrong. What you see here is the future of gaming… well not really, but it will give you more space. It nicely combines the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, two of the rival current generation consoles into a single neat-looking case.

As you can see in the image above, this is not your ordinary mod work. It’s not just a matter of taking both consoles and placing them in a single enclosure. The genius creator of this do-it-yourself masterpiece claims that there’s not much problems in doing this in terms of the hardware and software. In fact, he’s currently working on a guide that would allow others to do the same thing he did.


As for the technicalities of the build, one issue that others might have with a build like this is the temperature as both consoles are known to have great processing power that results in higher temperatures. The creator didn’t opt for liquid cooling, as most would probably have, since the two units are properly cooled without it (with the PS3 between 38-39 degrees while 37-38 for the Xbox). Also, the PS3 unit used here was the large one, so that also plays to the form factor.



Carol bartz fired as yahoo CEO

As derogatory as that title sounds, Yahoo! CEO Carol Bartz was fired from her office after receiving a phone call from Yahoo Chairman Roy Bostock. The termination came as much as a surprise to the employees as to Bartz herself. In a note sent via her iPad, we quote:
To all,
I am very sad to tell you that I’ve just been fired over the phone by Yahoo’s Chairman of the Board. It has been my pleasure to work with all of you and I wish you only the best going forward.
Carol
Sent from my iPad
Bartz came to Yahoo! in January of 2009 after turning down software giant Microsoft’s offer to buy the company at $44.6 billion. She then cut costs be trimming down the company’s head count as well as terminating Yahoo!’s other businesses like Zimbra, Geocities and Delicious. She’s also the cause for Yahoo!’s partnership with Microsoft which was seen as searches with the tagline “powered by Bing” attached — though the company still has to see the financial effect of that deal as their revenue is still down 5% as of their recent earnings announcement. In response to this termination, Yahoo! CFO Tim Morse was elected as interim CEO while the board is still looking for a suitable leader.
Apparently, investors liked this move as Yahoo!’s stocks rose by 6% to close at $13.32 per share. As addendum, this gain was more than what the company produced since Bartz took over as CEO.

Android sandwich underway!

Now here’s an ice cream sandwich that everyone would wanna eat. At San Francisco’s Dreamforce conference, Google’s Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt mentioned (accidentally?) that the next Android upgrade, deliciously named Ice Cream Sandwich, is due for release sometime in October or November. To quote the chairman:
We have a new operating system, internally known as Ice Cream Sandwich for some reason, which is being released in October/November, which everyone’s really excited about.

Current Android devices use a separate OS for mobile phones and tablets. With the Ice Cream Sandwich, Google aims to bring the best of Honeycomb and Gingerbread into one universal mobile operating system. This can also add to the speculation that the next Nexus phone, Samsung’s Nexus Prime, which is rumored to be released in the same time. As October comes nearer, more and more rumors will come out. Until then, head onto the video below for Schmidt’s statement.
