Xbox 360’s Rumored Avatars Might Be Their Nintendo Miis [Xbox 360 Avatar]

Xbox 360 Fanboy found this Flash document on Intellisponse’s servers, which is an online research and web-survey platform. It shows off a picture of a bunch of Mii-like characters called Avatars, that (according to the text above it) are supposed to be for the Xbox 360 and are used instead of the gamer picture. It’s unclear whether or not this picture is a survey, but seeing as Intellisponse is a survey and the picture looks a whole lot like a survey, it’s probably a part of a survey.
That doesn’t mean that Microsoft’s not working on this and isn’t rolling this out at the end of the year, however. Plus, when you try to copy the URL, it feeds you a “Copying this information is in violation of your Legally Binding Agreement of Non-Disclosure,” which of course we’ve never seen or signed. We’ll see what it means come E3. All we want is to be able to use the Xbox Live Cam to face map our mugs onto these things. PLEASE. [Intellisponse via Xbox 360 Fanboy]
As soon as you think they can’t build a more intense roller coaster, someone comes along and makes one that’s crazier than anything anyone’s seen before. Today’s example: the Farenheit at Hershey Park, a coaster that drops you down a 97-degree slope. Yes, that’s beyond vertical. It hits you with 4 Gs of force, more than what NASA astronauts are subjected to. Holy crap. Hit the jump for a video of this thing in action, then feel free to falsely claim how huge a man you are and how much you’d enjoy this voluntary abuse.
The Toshiba G55 Qosmio, great great grandson of those first Media Center lappies that Toshiba put out, can use its webcam to process gestures and remote control your music, movies and powerpoint. One of the first.
