NXE Avatars

So I guess if the link is broken, either the user hasn't dl'd the dashboard update or an avatar hasn't been created.

Xbox 360 NXE - You have been selected (part ii)

First impressions.

• Installation: Super fast.
  
• Loading avatar editor: slow.
  
• Loading Netflix player: slow.
  
• Double menu system: confusing at first, and crappily low resolution when you really look at it.

Overall, slow, and goofy looking. Only had enough time to make a quick avatar and realize that you need to have an actual computer next to your xbox to enable streaming. (The netflix plugin for your xbox requires you to hop on to netflix.com and enter a code). And why the hell is what you've currently selected in this "new interface" all the way to the left? I kept looking towards the center of the screen and being confused as to what was really selected.

What really bugs me though is that for some reason, everything's resolution was super crappy. Like 480p crappy. Jaggies, and just a low-resolution feel. I dunno what the deal is. Checked the xbox output resolution and it's still good 'ol 1080i.

I'm not saying I hate it. I'm just saying it may take some getting used to.

Xbox 360 NXE - You have been selected

Ooh, I get to figure out whether it's worth keeping netflix for the streaming movies!

Wells Fargo beats Wachovia in Deathmatch for my Loyalty

Coincidentally, I opened a Wells Fargo account yesterday and closed my Wachovia account earlier today.

Customer Message from John Stumpf, President and CEO

To Our Customers,

The dramatic changes taking place in the financial services industry and economy these days are historic in scope and proportion. And as you may know, Wells Fargo & Company and Wachovia Corporation have agreed to merge and create the nation's premier coast-to-coast community banking presence.

You may be asking yourself, "What does this mean for me as a Wells Fargo customer?"

The answer simply is - it's business as usual. That's because perhaps never before in our company's 156-year history has Wells Fargo enjoyed a greater reputation for strength, security, financial discipline, and doing what's right for the customer than it does today.

You trust us with your business. You continue to give us even more of it. We're attracting more customers and earning more business from our current customers like you because many of our customers rave about us to their families, friends and business associates. We're known and admired for our conservative financial services approach and time-tested business model, and it succeeds because you trust us to do what's right for you, the customer.

All Hail Emperor Obama!

I don't post enough

I got a new macbook pro. It's gorgeous. It's the Ferrari of laptops. I love it. I promised myself when I bought it that it'd pay for itself.

I guess we'll see about that.

Mint watches your back

Got a nice note from Mint about my credit card rate changing. I think i swapped it over to be a variable rate a few years ago when the rates were super low... I don't remember why. Rewards? Anyway, It's good to know Mint is watching out for this kinda stuff.

Hi there,

The interest rate on your CapitalOne credit card has increased by 0.67%. As of November 02, your old rate of 9.24% is now 9.91%. You may want to investigate ... Here is their number: 800-955-7070.

Cheers,
The Mint Team

I've tried Rudder and Quicken online, and neither were quite what I was expecting as far as financial management software was concerned. So if you're comfortable enough to provide a third-party website with all of the passwords to your banking and credit institutions' websites, Mint's the way to go.
