you don't know how right you are:cool: i don't know if you know, but M$ recently announced that the Xbone will be have to verify its internet status every 24 hrs, or if you are logged into your account on a friend's xboxone, every 1 hr! if it can't find an internet connection, then no games will work! Its ridiculous, and I am certainly not going to get an xboxone for this reason!

so you are certainly correct saying that the xbox will be bad!

I was thinking about this today upon their confirmation that the game needs to authorise every 24 hours and their evasiveness when asked about people who can't get online - rural areas etc. It suddenly dawned on me - in the consumers eyes this verification is all because Microsoft so gallantly is implementing a "disc free" feature so you don't have to go through the painful chore of changing discs. Wow, well how about they just make that an optional feature? If the disc is in the drive there is no need to verify.

In reality though, the disc free feature and it's subsequent online verification is just about a convoluted anti piracy measure and making sure you don't pass Halo 5 to all your mates to play though the campaign mode before selling it to the game shop to get some money back.

I apologise, this was way off topic ... lets see, I want me some flat and translucent app icons!
 
great, way to go apple.
the new colorful decorations and banners are awesome, i hope the new osX and iOS look like this
