Jun 10, 2010. 11:58 AMklikkvuong says:

It's because when you see the red ring, your XBOX is DEAD...

Jan 10, 2010. 3:02 PM

Gjdj3 (author) says:

I think they are named that way because they indicate the death of the Xbox.

I miss the days of the real Xbox... The one that didn't have any red ring of death. (Though in it's earlier stages it was said to burst into flames if left on too long)

Bill Gates is giving all his money to charity

Dec 20, 2011. 9:42 PMposimosh says:

I think you accidentally hit the "send" button prematurely... Your post should read as follows, "Bill Gates is giving all his money to charity (so he can dodge taxes)." I don't know why he bothers though, I think the tax rate on collecting dividends while sipping a pina colada on a beach somewhere is only like 15%, and you don't have to pay social security taxes on anything over $105k or so... Oh well I'm sure all of those patent law suits don't cost much to litigate...
