Moss Waived, Another Xbox Dashboard

Randy Moss was waived from the Vikings after his comments to the media yesterday. It was a lot of rambling, but the main gist of it was 'I hate talking to the media, so I won't for the rest of the year.' I don't mean to be rude to Mr. Moss, but that's very childish, and even moreso since it just cost him his job. I doubt any other team out there is going to want to pick him up now because of his apparent lack of commitment. However, I think some team out there might pick him up, Washington or St. Louis perhaps. They're in need of a top wide receiver and they both have a good shot of making the Playoffs.

In video game news, The Xbox released its' newest dashboard update and I personally think it's a major step back. The blades are basically useless now since they'll blind you with their white color now. They also made the guide be flat for its' latest "innovation" against its' competitors, Kinect. I've got to say that this pretty annoying since the depth of the old dashboard was really good. Since you can only view three panels at a time now you can't really see a lot. Also, while some new features like 'your game add-ons' are a nice idea, why are they sorted by what's popular and not what I've played recently?

I know you'd like to sell me Modern Warfare Two DLC Microsoft, but I traded in my copy last December. In addition to that, they took away the content pages for games in your Game Library, which sorts stuff by what you've RECENTLY PLAYED. While it might be a much cleaner experience, it's not a better one. It proves once again that Microsoft doesn't know what a good interface is anymore.
