Microsoft to close in-game advertising company Massive
>> From arstechnica.com:
[QUOTE]
Massive was Microsoft's push into video game advertising and, since we live in an ad-filled world and games seek to mimic that reality, it seemed like a good fit. According to a report by Media Week however, the company has long been troubled, and will soon be shutting its doors.
The problem? Microsoft would rather advertise in Xbox Live, where it doesn't have to split the profits with publishers. EA recently pulled its business from Massive in order to sell ads internally. It's not that you will be seeing less advertising in games, it just seems as if those making large bets on in-game ads would simply rather keep larger cuts for themselves.

Xecuter CK3-CP News Update
>> From team-xecuter.com:
[QUOTE]
Yes we have not forgotten about the CK3-CP. Maybe we have been a little distracted lately with various AVR USB work (however we have certainly been busy with our own actual XECUTER AVR USB work – this is for sure ;) )
Anyway as many of you in the scene who have been talking to us on IRC in the last few weeks will know, that we ripped the CK3-CP design apart and made some major “under the hood” changes to make it as slick and as solid as possible (Credits to many of our Beta testers who really jumped the hell out of this and poked every single design flaw in the ass). This really is a fantastic piece of kit and with there being so many variables with everyone’s computer systems / psu’s we wanted to make sure that it was as spot-on as possible. Anyway after a brief hiatus we rolled out the latest prototype and just for fun – in honor of our friends at Team Jungle including C4E we made this fancy pants Jungle design lol :p
Many are also asking us about the 360 Slim progress since we posted a video of it booting backups a while back. Soon kids, soon ;)
……NAND-X v2 AVR Edition with various goodies coming soon :)
