The xbox 360 has so many new features as opposed to the older version. Some features that really stand out are the wireless remotes, the 20gb hard drive and the aesthetically pleasing exterior casing.

Firstly the xbox 360 is available in a choice of silver or black. Both are very appealing and it is a matter of personal choice which one the consumer wants to choose. Additionally you can remove nearly all the plates from the exterior casing to replace with whatever color you want. The wireless remotes are a blessing. No more tangled remote wires or having to sit close to the console just to be able to play the many wonderful games.

The 20gb hard drive is more than ample to store multimedia such as videos and music. The hard drive is also upgradeable leaving the option to upgrade later down the track but this wont be necessary. just to give you an idea of how much 20gb can hold, it can store either 5 full length dvd movies or upwards of 6000 mp3 songs.

Below the visually appealing exterior lies a lot of processing power. The xbox 360 has 3 3.2GHz processor. Standard personal computers have just the one processor. Imagine 3 times the processing power of a well decked out personal computer and youll understand what kind of power the xbox 360 has.

To match the processing power the xbox 360 has a custom ATI graphics processor. The ATI graphics processor has a whopping 512mb of RAM and runs at a speed of 500MHz. This is enough to make light work of any high end game.

Besides the major feature of the xbox 360 that Ive listed above, it also comes with many additional accessories such as the wireless headset and so forth. The xbox 360 is a great innovation in the world of gaming and will continue to increase in popularity making it a formidable opponent to sonys playstation 3.

Spinning exercise or studio cycling is not only popular these days it's an excellent form of fitness. It helps strengthen your heart, tone your glutes, calves, thighs in addition to being a great exercise to slim legs.

Spinning exercise classes usually consist of about 12 to 20 people. Classes range from 50 to 60 minutes and are set to music. The instructor takes the class on a ride that includes all types of terrain that produces a great spinning workout.

If you are the type of person who doesn't care for traditional exercise classes, this form of exercise is perfect for you. One of the many benefits of spinning is you will always feel like you're keeping up with the class because everyone finishes at the same time.

The special spinning bicycle that you pedal has a weighted flywheel in the front and makes you feel more like you're riding on a real bicycle. The spinning bike allows you to adjust the tension to keep pedaling within a comfortable range for your fitness level.

Adjustments can also be made to the handlebars and seat to make you more comfortable. Here are a few stationary exercise bike tips before you start.

Always bring a bottle of water to class and take frequent drinks while you ride. Spinning works up a sweat and it's important that you keep hydrated. Also bring a small towel to wipe away the sweat to keep more comfortable.

learn to pace yourself because spinning exercise classes can be very high energy. Don't get caught up in the enthusiasm so much that you ride beyond your fitness level.

Wear padded bike shorts or consider bringing a seat cushion until you get use to the bike seat. They tend to be a little hard on your rear end until you get use to them.

The first step is to sign up for a class so you can start enjoying the benefits of spinning. Remember like any class, the instructors will vary on their focus. Some take you on an imaginary ride while other concentrate on a more rigorous variety of drills.

If you find you don't like the style of one instructor, try another class. It could be a completely different experience with an instructor you like better.

Using a spinning cycle will give you the aerobic burst you need to get your heart racing and boost your endurance. Just climb on and start pedaling to your limit for a spinning exercise workout you'll enjoy.

Speaking with Warren Communication news, William Zeittler, Senior vice President of IBMs system & Technology Group said that yield learning on the new cell processor that makes up the core of Sonys PlayStation 3 has been faster than on any chip weve done.

Translation IBM is quickly learning how to produce more working chips per batch than any other chip before.

Essentially what that means to us the consumer, the Manufacturing plant will be able to ship as many chips as needed, without having to worry about supply issues once the PS3 heads into full production.

However, as we all know consoles are made up of more than processors, so supply issues could still arise from other components experiencing manufacturing issues, as we saw with the xbox 360 launch.

A great deal of the xbox 360 shortage is due to the lack of available parts. No matter how fast they can assemble the consoles, if parts are not available, manufacturing will come to a hault

Zeitles also mentioned that IBM was able to increase their production of xbox 360 parts quickly as well which enforces the idea if there is a ps3 shortage, dont blame IBM.

Now lets just hope the other 2,000 parts will be readily available.
