...Microsoft

Oh no the new Kinect for the Microsoft Xbox is a racist spy! Who knew? The people at GameSpot noticed the it could not pick up the faces of darker skinned players, and since the Kinect is supposed to be able to detect players faces and off to the game they go, which worked with the lighter players...but not the darker ones. Microsoft responded by saying that you must play in a room full of light or else it will not work properly. GameSpot tried that out, but the same problems arose. Another thing that has players somewhat worried is that maybe they are being spied on. Microsoft said no way Jose. None of the information is sent back to them, only with your permission do they receive information if something went wrong...error. Still it does make you wonder how they could not spy on you. It is a camera, attached to an Xbox, which is attached to the Internet. I am sure if they wanted to they could totally peep i on you doing whatever you are doing. That would suck for a lot of teen boys who keep their Xboxes in their room, if you know what I mean. Any who all in all the product seems to be a hit, or a hit int he making and I am down for anything that gets people up and doing stuff rather than sitting and eating all day so I am giving Microsoft a Digit Up...until my computer messes up then back Down it goes.
