Reader Participation: Giz Readers’ Best Computer Rigs Contest

Rumor”xbox: Microsoft’s “Falcon” Xbox 360 Is Here. Kind of.

If you’re like us, you’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Microsoft’s “Falcon” Xbox 360s, well, now they’re here. Apparently. The guys over at the Xbox official forums have noticed that the Halo edition 360s may just be the Falcons we’ve all dreamed about. The Falcon Xbox 360, by the way, has a 65nm CPU and is supposed to run cooler and, ideally, not die after three days, which is a nice change. The posters in the forums have torn theirs apart to show you what the innards of a Falcon may look like. Hit the link below to check out the pics. [Xbox Forums]

Question Of The Day: Are iPhone Update Problems Malicious or an Unintentional Side Effect?

Do you think it was a malicious disabling of phones, as in Apple knew it was going to render unlocked iPhones unusable? Or do you think it’s more of a side effect of engineers needing the parts of the phones in a known state—a state that was modified when the phone was unlocked by third-party software? Does it make a difference for you either way?
