Battleground: Halo wakes up Woohoo! Shame on us for not noticing sooner. Battleground: Halo, dormant for a bit, is back in the saddle, with new updates, a comic, and a new bit of fan fic. We were getting nervous there... ;) (Louis Wu 21:00:47 UTC) (permalink) 
Daily Radar UK speculates about the Xbox Thanks to Haloplayers, who noticed an article at Daily Radar UK detailing the (current) specs of the Xbox. On the plus side: a scaled-down, stable version of Windows 2000, (maybe) 128 MB RAM, and a keyboard and mouse standard... This is all speculation on DR's part, but it's backed up by some educated guessing, and the current XDK. (For example... the beefed-up RAM prediction comes in part from the fact that support for virtual memory is not built in... so enough real RAM will be a priority.) One juicy rumor: nVidia, in addition to making the graphics chipset, is on board for the sound card as well. An interesting read! (Louis Wu 09:18:59 UTC) (permalink) 
SETI Halo Marines fall behind Due to circumstances beyond our control, we missed our SETI update yesterday. We'll do a 2-week update next week. In the meantime, however, the SETI Halo Marines need to realize that they're falling behind the TidBITS team... after weeks of being 4-500 units behind, the gap has now grown to over 600 units, and continues to widen. How will you find the Covenant at this pace? (Louis Wu 09:11:00 UTC) (permalink)
