Xbox Project Natal : Kinect Revealed

Kinect for Xbox 360 (formerly known by the code name Project Natal, or simply,Kinect, is a "controller-free gaming and entertainment experience" by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game platform. Based around an add-on peripheral for the Xbox 360 console, it enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the need to touch a game controller through a natural user interfaceusing gestures, spoken commands, orpresented objects and images. The project is aimed at broadening the Xbox 360's audience beyond its typical gamer base.

Microsoft last night announced the commercial name for Project Natal: Kinect. It demonstrated the gesture-based interface during the opening night of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles. Kinect allows users to control an Xbox video game without a controller. Jump around and your onscreen avatar jumps with you.

Kinect for Xbox 360 will be available in North America in November, in time for the holiday season. Better still, Kinect will work with existing Xbox 360 consoles, Microsoft promises. (However, Microsoft also demonstrated a new Xbox 360 console last night. It will include an Xbox 360 wireless controller, Xbox 360 headset, HDMI output, USB flash drive storage capabilities and more, available this week and priced at $300. ... I already have a Wii, but I am mightily tempted to buy the 360 with Kinect, too.)

Microsoft said it will link Kinect with Zune Pass music, so users can control the music streaming over Xbox Live with voice and gesture commands. It also plans to link Video Kenect via Xbox Live to Windows Live Messenger. The goal of that is to make video chat more interactive than it is today.

Last night's demonstration made Kinect look amazing! Look at the voice and gesture controls that can be used during movies. Never search for the remote again.


The video above shows the capabilities of Project Natal or Kinect. With a boy named Milo. The video is really awesome & makes Xbox 360 the much needed lead over PS3 & Wii.

Here is the launch of Project Natal  ( Kinect ). The demonstration of games is great.
I am really excited to get my hands on this as soon as it gets launched in India.

Decrapify / Debloat Windows 10 with a Powershell Script

Windows 10 is a decent OS from Microsoft after the disaster known as Windows 8 and 8.1. Although Windows is still better with no Modern UI crap, no ads, minimal telemetry, no Edge to bug you. But Windows 10 is a decent compromise if you want a stable OS with modern features like DirectX 12. Earlier OEMs used to bundle PCs and Laptops with crapware, with Windows 10, now Microsoft themselves bundle crapware. Welcome to Software as a Service (SaaS) model. On top of that we have OEM crapware on top of Microsoft crapware. As a result trying to Debloat or DeCrapify Windows 10 is getting absurd and as a system admin it is disheartening to see all that performance go to waste on the messed up attempt by Microsoft to do an Appstore and its apps. Fortunately a kind soul who goes by name  Sycne x has worked painstakingly to provide us a simple solution that works considerably well. Let's Begin To download the script visit  here , and click Clone or Download and Click Download as Zip.
