Xbox One
You know what would make Xbox Live even better?
- Topic Archived
- Page 1 of 2
- Last
Live should turn the console on at a time set by myself, scan my console for system updates, run through my game library for patches, and automatically download them for me and shut itself off after completion so they're ready for me when I get home. Even automatically upload my game saves to the cloud, which is really convenient so that I'm not always wondering which storage device to select and if my saves are matched.
Also, if I don't want to pay for Live, I should be able to select at least one non-gaming app that I can use without paying for Gold. If I wanted to use it as mostly a media hub and don't want to play multiplayer at all, Gold's value is in the access to content that I don't have. I know it sounds like an entitled consumer, but I want to be given incentives to pay money for a service, not obligated to.
They should also allow partial downloads of pre-ordered games. I'd like to be able to pre-order something, download 95-99% of it's code, and finish the last of it within minutes so I'm ready to play. PS4/X1 games are going to be huge, and it's probably not enough that they allow us to start it up while it's downloading, considering that some titles(Killzone) are already around 50GB......I don't know how long that would take on your connection, but I'd rather not have to deal with it if I can avoid it.
Just a few suggestions or improvement. Some may already be coming, for all I know.

You don't get it. The point of Gold is to make far more money than it costs to run XBL infrastructure, not to please the little peon consumers.
XBL: MauryPov1ch ... BF4 (PC): Chollima ... Steam: callmaury
I get what the point is, I didn't wake up today and hear the new buzz-word "capitalism", I'm asking from a consumer perspective. Bottom up, not top down.
*EDIT....and I'm not a peon, I spent $7 on Xbox content last month not including my subscription fee, so I'm clearly a platinum member they need to keep happy.

That's exactly how Microsoft made profit from the 360 gen by having Gold sub, why do you think Sony will be charging for online this coming gen. Also I always will prefer Live over PSN (I have both calm down fanboys) free games doesn't automatically mean better online service which is why I play online and pay for GOLD, not because of the social media apps that I use maybe 15 times the last 3 years. I would rather pay for the service that is known for the great online service than for it's free games offer, heck if were going that route you better advertise GameFly TC it has a better deal than PSN for renting games.
Xbox One and PlayStation 4
Because I can buy both.

That's my feeling as well. It's easier to tell Microsoft "Hey, you should add these couple features to your service" than it is to tell Sony "Hey, great features, but could you completely upgrade your infrastructure?"

with now ms provides dedicated servers, xbl has it's values increased
+ your idea if they listen, it will be even better
sexbox one by micro&soft : always on, connected,and watching.Doesn't do 180.voice coms: sexbox turn on, sexbox watch AV, sexbox my home.Yes, i'm a sexboner.
Another Live incentive they could add, and I brought this up months ago in another thread I made, but they should think about discounting their digital offerings. Maybe $5 off digitial game purchases, or exclusive DLC for digital downloaded titles? This would benefit us obviously by helping us save money on our purchases, and it would help Microsoft by accumulating way more XboxLive traffic(people who buy content, watch ads) and get people ready for the "all digital" future that the industry is heading toward. It would also, in all likelihood, curb the second-hand market to a large degree or at least slow the amount of games making their way to a gamestop aisle near you.

Apparently we will be able to weed out (most) kids from our XBL multiplayer as well. If that video is correct. HUGE!

I just posted this on the Long Island Medium thread and was wondering how anyone would explain the following experience if they are "non-believers" of this sort of thing:
I was alone in Florence and sat down with a card reader set up on the street. I told her one thing: that I was born in September - that's it. The only thing she told me after laying out some cards was this: the boy you love, whose name starts with a G and was born in December - he loves you but his love is cold for you and he is with a woman now who he will marry. When I asked her how she knew this she laughed really hard and said that my guardians are loud and like to gossip. After that I told her I was done. I didn't want to hear anything more....
Everything she said was totally true. I was recently broken up from a very serious relationship, and the guy's name did indeed begin with a G and he was born in December. And turned out true since my ex boyfriend did later marry the girl he left me for - I never talked to him after we broke up so it's not like I ever had the chance to tell him what this woman told me. I told this woman the month I was born - that's it. And I was traveling alone - so it's not like I was with anyone that could set me up.
How would you explain this if there is no such thing and sixth senses, second sight or people who can communicate with spiritual beings... (etc...)

An introduction to business cultures
Culture is just one perspective that can help us to understand more about a business. 'Business culture' is not just about how others see a business, but also about how the individuals within an organisation understand it. In this course we explore how the concept of culture developed from research into differences between cultures at a national level. It is possible to see, or 'feel', that one business is different from another, and that this involves more than just how it presents itself to the outside world.

I had an anatomy scan yesterday and everything looked great except baby was wiggling a TON and they could only visualize 3 heart chambers. Plus, my placenta has moved downward quite a bit, making my midwife concerned about previa.
So with both of those considerations, we have to get another ultrasound during the third trimester. My midwife didn't seem worried about the heart thing, and neither did the ultrasound tech. But I am a nurse and I know what a 3 chamber heart means for baby. I am having a hard time not freaking out right now.
I called a friend of mine who is an Ob nurse, and she said it is common for them to need a second look sometimes and not to worry. But that is easy for her to say! She also said the placenta could go either way at this point.
I am just bummed because I feel like this whole pregnancy has been one waiting game after another. (Had to have betas and ultrasound to rule out ectopic early on, then this scan, now have to wait for third trimester scan.)
We found out we are having a second little girl and I feel so bonded to her now, and the thought of her having a tough life with the possible heart defect is terrifying.
Please, does anyone have any reassuring stories? Or even some not so reassuring ones? I just want to know how other people have faired in similar circumstances.
Oh yeah, my blood pressure was up too. So now I have to check it all the time and possibly have weekly appts and/or bedrest. Plus I am strep positive. My pregnancy with my daughter was a breeze, so I am kind of reeling from all of this news. I could really use some encouragement!

International Handbook of Leadership for Learning
Free delivery worldwide
Dispatched from the UK in 2 business days
"The International Handbook of Leadership for Learning" brings together chapters by distinguished authors from thirty-one countries in nine different regions of the world. This handbook contains nine sections that provide regional overviews; a consideration of theoretical and contextual aspects; and, system and policy approaches that promote leadership for learning with a focus on educating school leaders for learning and the role of the leader in supporting learning. It also considers the challenge of educating current leaders for this new perspective, and how leaders themselves can develop leadership for learning in others and in their organisations, especially in diverse contexts and situations. The final chapter considers what we now know about leadership for learning and looks at ways this might be further improved in the future. This book provides the reader with an understanding of the rich contextual nature of learning in schools and the role of school leaders and leadership development in promoting this. It concludes that the preposition 'for' between the two readily known and understood terms of 'leadership' and 'learning' changes everything as it foregrounds learning and complexifies, rather than simplifies, what that word may mean. Whereas common terms such as 'instructional leadership' reduce learning to 'outcomes', leadership for learning embraces a much wider, developmental view of learning.show more

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

In honor of Jerry Jones' 20-year anniversary as owner of the Dallas Cowboys, here are 10 "ups" from the Jones era in Dallas:
Hiring Jimmy Johnson. Jones' former college teammate at Arkansas, and University of Miami coach, had a rough start at 1-15 in 1989 but went 43-21 after that and won consecutive Super Bowls before abruptly resigning in March 1994.
The Herschel Walker trade. In October 1989, the largest trade in NFL history (involving 18 players and / or draft picks) sent Walker to Minnesota. Among players Cowboys got with some of Vikings' picks were Emmitt Smith, the NFL career rushing leader, and safety Darren Woodson, the team's career tackles leader.
NFL-bucking stadium sponsorships and merchandise deals. In 1995, Jones cashed in with Pepsi and Nike - top rivals of NFL sponsors - by making them official sponsors of Texas Stadium. The NFL sued Jones. He countersued and, ultimately, changed the way all teams do business.
Role in NFL deciding to add FOX before it was an established network. CBS had been televising NFL games for nearly four decades before Jones in 1993 helped the NFL reach an initial four-year, $1.58 billion deal with the then-fledgling network.
Signing Deion Sanders in the salary cap era. The Cowboys lost to San Francisco and Sanders in the 1994 NFC championship game, so Jones found a way to sign "Prime Time" in 1995 despite a salary cap-strapped roster filled with stars. The Cowboys won the Super Bowl that season.
Keeping his own big-name players. Fans could debate for hours the biggest name to get away in free agency. Any of those names pale compared to the franchise icons. Sure, Smith got away, but only for two pedestrian seasons in Arizona after the Cowboys decided to move on at running back.
Hiring Bill Parcells when the franchise was at its lowest point in Jones' tenure. Cowboys were coming off three consecutive 5-11 seasons when Parcells was hired. Dallas quickly got back in the playoffs, but Parcells' four seasons led to two playoff appearances - and no victories.
Michael Irvin's Hall of Fame introduction. In his memorable induction speech in 2007, in an unrehearsed address in which his eyes were wet and his words came slow and emphatically, Irvin commended Jones and former teammates Smith and Troy Aikman for motivating him.
Keeping the Cowboys visible and relevant even amid the franchise's longest playoff victory drought. From reality shows - twice featured on HBO's Hard Knocks series to an upcoming show featuring Irvin in which 12 "football neophytes" compete for a spot on the Cowboys' training camp roster - to merchandise sales, the Cowboys remain a big draw nationally. Their national TV games are frequent ratings bonanzas.
The new stadium. The Cowboys' futuristic $1.1 billion stadium opens next season and already is set to host a Super Bowl, an NCAA men's basketball Final Four and the NBA All-Star game.

Can sera fluorescent tubes be dimmed, and what do I have to consider?
can sera fluorescent tubes be dimmed, and do they need to be burnt in before?
the sera fluorescent tubes can indeed be dimmed (e.g. for sunrise or sunset simulation). This requires operation with an electronic ballast. The tubes must be burnt in for 100 hours with 100 % performance before doing so.

Judge Sets June 9 Trial On Pennsylvania Gay Marriage Suit
By Peter Jackson
Originally printed 11/28/2013 (Issue 2148 - Between The Lines News)
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - A federal judge Friday set June 9 as the trial date for a lawsuit challenging Pennsylvania's gay-marriage ban after rejecting a request to delay the proceeding.
U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III also set a timetable for pre-trial motions and other paperwork to be filed before the trial at the federal courthouse in Harrisburg.
Jones said a defense request to delay the trial until August would be unnecessary.
"I'm an optimist by nature," he said.
Pennsylvania is the only northeastern state that bars same-sex marriage. Nationally, Illinois this week joined 15 other states and the District of Columbia in allowing it.
State Attorney General Kathleen Kane, a Democrat who took office in January, has refused to defend the law in court, saying it violates the state and federal constitutions.
Friday's meeting came a week after Jones denied a motion to dismiss the lawsuit by the two major defendants - the secretaries of the state departments of Health and Revenue.
William Lamb, a former state Supreme Court justice who heads the private legal team that Republican Gov. Tom Corbett hired to defend the state officials, said he plans to appeal Jones' ruling to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals by next week.
The defendants' motion cited a 1972 U.S. Supreme Court decision to argue that federal courts lack jurisdiction over state marriage laws. But Jones said that decision has been eroded by the court's subsequent rulings on constitutional challenges based on sex or sexual identity.
"The jurisprudence of equal protection and substantive due process has undergone what can only be characterized as a sea change since 1972," Jones said in his opinion.

|Years of service
Tobias Martin Ellwood (born 12 August 1966, New York City) is a British-American[1] Conservative Party politician, author, and soldier. He served in the Royal Green Jackets and reached the rank of Captain. He currently serves as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Bournemouth East and as UK Government Minister at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Early life[edit]
Born in New York City, Ellwood was educated at schools in Bonn and Vienna. He attended Loughborough University from 1985–90, graduating with a BA (Hons) degree, and the Cass Business School at City University from 1997–8, where he received a Master of Business Administration degree (MBA).
After university, Ellwood served in the British Army with the Royal Green Jackets from 1991. He left the Army with the rank of Captain in 1996. After resigning his commission he became a researcher to the Conservative MP Tom King. He was elected Chairman of the Hertfordshire South West Conservative Association for a year in 1998, and has been a senior business manager with the London Stock Exchange since 1999.[citation needed]
Parliamentary career[edit]
Ellwood was elected as a Councillor of Dacorum Borough Council in 1999, and unsuccessfully contested the parliamentary seat of Worsley at the 2001 general election being defeated by the sitting Labour MP Terry Lewis by 11,787 votes. He achieved success at the 2005 general election, when selected to contest the safe Conservative seat of Bournemouth East to succeed the outgoing David Atkinson MP. Ellwood held Bournemouth East with a majority of 5,244 votes and remains the MP there. He made his maiden speech in the House of Commons on 19 May 2005.[citation needed]
A vocal supporter of David Cameron's campaign for the leadership of the Conservative Party, Ellwood was appointed to the Opposition Whips Office in December 2005. In the July 2007 reshuffle, Cameron promoted Ellwood to his frontbench team as Shadow Minister for Culture, Media and Sport, with specific responsibilities for gambling, licensing and tourism. Ellwood has since stated that these responsibilities are also of specific interest to his Bournemouth constituents, a town of seaside tourism, numerous bars and nightclubs, and the site of a proposed casino development.[citation needed] He was criticised in the press after reportedly branding Liverpudlian landlords taking over pubs in his constituency as "criminals" in 2009. Ellwood claimed the comments had been taken out of context.[2]
Following his return to Parliament in 2010, he was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to then Defence Secretary, Dr Liam Fox, and in October 2011 was appointed PPS to David Lidington MP, Minister for Europe at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In October 2013 Tobias was appointed PPS to Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt MP. On 15 July 2014 Tobias was appointed as Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In 2011 Ellwood was reported as saying "He should be given a good hiding behind the bike shed", referring to the Conservative party rebel Mark Pritchard. He later claimed he was joking.[3]
In 2010 Ellwood was threatened with arrest outside the House of Commons by the police after confronting them over an anti-war protestor.[4]
Ellwood has also been appointed a Member of the Parliamentary Delegation to the NATO Assembly, 2014 and Parliamentary Advisor to the Prime Minister for the 2014 NATO Summit. He is a proponent of "double summer time".[5]
In 2011, Ellwood served on the Special Select Committee set up to scrutinise the Bill which became the Armed Forces Act 2011.[6] He was also a member of the Public Bill Committee for the Defence Reform Act 2014.[7]
In May 2014 he was one of seven unsuccessful candidates for the chairmanship of the House of Commons Defence Select Committee.[8]
In 2015, he flouted public opinion and backed the move by IPSA to increase salaries for politicians by 10% when the rest of the public sector are on a freeze of 1%.[9] He said he was left "counting the pennies".[10]
In September 2015, The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority named Tobias Ellwood and 26 current and former MPs who failed to settle sums of up to £500 the previous year in overclaimed expenses, forcing them to be written off.[11]
Tobias has written the following recent publications:
- Upgrading UK influence in the European Union – A strategy to improve upstream scrutiny of EU legislation (November 2012)
- Time to Change the Clocks – Arguing the case for moving our clocks forward (November 2010)-
- Post Conflict Reconstruction – Bridging the gap between Military and Civilian Affairs on the Modern Battlefield (November 2009)
- Stabilizing Afghanistan: Proposals for Improving Security, Governance, and Aid/Economic Development – Atlantic Council (April 2013)
- Leveraging UK Carrier Capability (September 2013)
- Improving Efficiency, Interoperability and Resilience of our Blue Light Services (December 2013)
Personal life[edit]
In July 2005, Ellwood married Hannah Ryan, a corporate lawyer, in East Yorkshire. He has a sister, Charlotte Ellwood-Aris. His brother, Jonathan, who was the Director of Studies at the International School Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, was killed in the 2002 Bali bombing.[12][13]
In June 2009 Ellwood was beaten by a gang of youths after confronting them for playing football in the street.[14]

I've commented several times during this 2013 recruiting cycle that the defensive talent in in this class is very impressive. More defensive prospects sit at the top of the board than last year and the defensive depth in this class is great.
When things shake out on signing day and teams look at their full completed classes, rest assured that many programs will be satisfied with their future defensive depth charts stemming from this class. For this read, let's take a quick look at the top 12 defensive prospects that are committed.
These are the 12 best defenders in the country this year who have already committed to schools.

Murakumo: Renegade Mech Pursuit Xbox
- Publisher: Ubisoft
- Release Date: Mar 5, 2003
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Cheat Code CentralMurakumo at first looks like an expensive diamond but after playing it you to will see its nothing more then a polished lump of coal.
My friends, this game is gorgeous, but while the "Armored Core" series was innovative and addicting, this game is boring and repetitive. Like that cheerleader in high school you always wanted to date, once you get past the looks, these is nothing but hot air.
Successfully taking down a fleeing opponent is almost enough to make you forget how many times you wanted to chuck the controller straight at the TV.
All of the missions in the game (even the ones that you can unlock by completing Murakumo's main mode) grow incredibly tiresome, not only because they're mostly identical but also because the mechs themselves are so poorly designed.
GMR MagazineThe principal function of moving around is a chore and, combined with the overly fancy (and illegible) heads-up display, makes completing even the simplest missions more irritating than gratifying. [Apr 2003, p.68]
The fact is that it's just awful. Awful awful awful. It's ugly, frustrating and extremely repetitive.

Phoenix McDonald's Workers Rally for Higher Wages, Better Working Conditions
Martha Rodriguez, a McDonald's employee, speaks to press at this morning's rally.
Ashley Cusick
Local McDonald's workers rallied for higher wages, better working conditions, and the right to unionize without retaliation at a press conference this morning.
The workers are involved in the Fight for 15 campaign, a drive to push McDonald's and other fast-food chains to pay workers 15 dollars per hour.
See also: -Phoenix Fast Food Workers Call for $15 Minimum Wage
The rally came on the heels of a major decision by the National Labor Relations Board, which ruled on Tuesday that McDonald's can be held liable for labor and wage violations that take place in its franchised restaurants. McDonald's has claimed that its franchise owners set employee wages. Tuesday's ruling, if upheld, could prevent the corporation from skirting responsibility in labor issues at its franchised restaurants.

"The determination from the NLRB's General Counsel has the potential to upend the fast-food industry's decades-long strategy of 'outsourcing' legal responsibility to franchisees when it comes to securing workers' rights," says Mark Barenberg, a professor at Columbia Law School. "Companies like McDonald's insert an intermediary between themselves and workers, even though they're manifestly in control of the franchisees' employment decisions. The General Counsel's determination leaves no doubt that franchise workers are McDonald's employees."
More than 20 local workers gathered at today's rally in a hot, empty lot next to the McDonald's on North 24th Street and East Osborn Road in Phoenix. Many wore shirts with the logo "Arizona Fight for 15."
"It's time for McDonald's to stop hiding behind its franchises and to pay the workers 15 dollars," said Abril Gallardo, a community representative with the campaign, at the rally.
Gallardo said the local campaign to improve conditions and to raise pay for McDonald's workers has been going on since last year. "We are here to let them know we are standing up with every worker," she said. "Victory is 15 dollars an hour for these workers."
Martha Rodriguez, 21, works in the kitchen at the McDonald's where the rally took place. She has been employed there for over a year and said she makes $8.65 an hour. The minimum wage in Arizona is $7.90 per hour. Rodriguez says she wants not only better pay for herself and her coworkers but also better working conditions. At the rally, she complained about the heat in the kitchen -- "it's like we're working outside in this sun," she said -- as well as a lack of first-aid kits at her restaurant. Rodriguez is a full-time student at Phoenix College and lives at home. She says she couldn't afford to do otherwise.
But Rodriguez says she got involved in the Fight for 15 campaign and the local union, the Arizona Organizing Committee, with her coworkers in mind. One woman at the restaurant where Rodriguez works has been there for 10 years, Rodriguez says, and still makes just $8.75 per hour. Rodriguez says she's given money to her coworkers to help them pay their bills at times.
Joshua Appleberry, a McDonald's employee, at the rally.
Ashley Cusick
Joshua Appleberry, 27, works as a cashier at the McDonald's near North 24th Street and East Van Buren. He's been there for a year and one month, and makes $8 an hour. He was given a five-cent raise in June, he says. Appleberry supports himself and his brother off of this wage.
It isn't enough, he says. "Sometimes I have to ask my friends for money or I will be late paying bills," he says. Appleberry also says he isn't given enough full-time work. "The hours are not there," he says.
Appleberry joined the local union about a month ago. Five of the about 30 workers in his restaurant also have joined, he says.
Appleberry says it would change his life to make 15 dollars an hour. "I'd be able to pay my bills on time and give back to the community," he says. He fantasizes about being more financially stable and maybe even going back to school. But on his current pay, that isn't an option, he says.
The McDonald's corporation did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Booth: DeGale vs Groves Purse Wager Won't Happen
By Phil D. Jay
The live press conference bet made between James DeGale and George Groves in London on Thursday will not be followed through according to Groves' trainer and manager. Adam Booth, who also trains heavyweight champion David Haye has confirmed that his fighter will not break the British Boxing Board of Control rules.
British super-middleweight champion DeGale, 25, offered Groves the bet live on Sky Sports in a blatant attempt to coerce the Commonwealth titleholder into betting his entire purse on the outcome of the fight. After the press conference, the 23 year-old's coach has sought the advice of Robert Smith, secretary of the BBBofC and he confirmed the bet was invalid.
"I have been on to the British Boxing Board of Control and they have told me they will not allow this bet to go ahead," explained Booth.
"Their members, which include both George Groves and James DeGale, are not allowed to bet or profit from any betting on the outcome of any bout."
Whether the wager, which stands at over £300,000 would still go ahead behind closed doors is highly unlikely and DeGale's stunt will seemingly generate no profit if his is victorious, but he did get the desired effect. Interest in the bout is set to far exceed Nathan Cleverly's first world title defence on the O2 show and have fans on the edge of their seat from the ring walk to the final bell.

Wait the bet was gonna be 300K? It's weird how Haye got away with it so easilyComment by Freddie Jackson on 05-20-2011
he'll need all the money he can get to re feed that ego, or maybe McDonnell can get on his knees and do that for him.Comment by Hitman932 on 05-20-2011
Pretty ironic coming from Booth since he is the same idiot who supported Haye fixing the Harrison fight and most likely bet on it himself.Post a Comment - View More User Comments (3)
