Would Microsoft Just Fire Don Mattrick Already?
Mattrick is the figurehead of what the Xbox is doing wrong.
I stood by Microsoft and the Xbox One’s “always-on” calls that enabled a wonderful futuristic tomorrowland. I did it even when I was being shouted down for it. I did it even when Microsoft was doing their best to make the customer seem like the enemy. One thing I won’t stand for though is Don Mattrick, the well-dressed man with the ragged hair that only speaks in PR-code and only appears when a press conference is nigh. I’ve chided him for his aloofness on this site and I believe he represents everything that Microsoft shouldn’t be. As the President of Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business overseeing the Xbox and all of the entertainment associated therein, he’s fully responsible for what’s going on and it seems that no one will hold him accountable, but there’s definitely some action required.

More Halo!? Say it ain’t so!
GameSpot UK is reporting that 343 Industries’ post-Bungie Halo trilogy – or Reclaimer story – is no longer confined to just Halo 4, 5 and 6, but tons of games beyond that.

Should You Ditch Vine For Instagram Video? Here’s 5 Reasons Why
The answer is ‘yes’.
After today’s ruckus about Instagram video and obviously copying Vine and whatever, the real question still stands: does Instagram make a superior product? Does Zuckerberg’s dominion over this fiefdom guarantee its success when something like their Snapchat clone – Poke – falls off the Earth in a matter of moments? Here’s 5 reasons why Instagram video is here to stay and why you should ditch that silly ol’ Vine.
Does Microsoft’s Xbox One DRM Reversal Mitigate Their Long-Term Strategy?
A short-term victory may cost them a big goal.
(Yes, it’s confirmed, check the update below.) If word from Giant Bomb’s ever-reliable Patrick Klepek is to be believed, then Microsoft is ready to ditch the DRM tentpole of their Xbox One strategy that’s received such an epic backlash over the past week. My question then is whether this will mitigate the Xbox One’s long tail, as I defended on our conferences podcast, in trying to become a robust digital retailer like Steam.
Thumbs-On With The New Minuum Keyboard, The Next Best Thing For Android Typing?
It’s time to begin again!
Two months ago, Toronto-based Whirlscape went to Indiegogo to get their new Minuum virtual keyboard made for Android. The premise was simple – compress the entire keyboard into a single line that didn’t take up 40% of your display’s real estate – but it was obvious there was a lot of masterful engineering required behind the scenes, much of it done in time for their pitch. Despite the Play Store’s best attempts to hold it back, the beta keyboard is now finally getting out and about and I’ve now had my time with it. So how does it work?
