It's widely believed that games console makers sell their hardware at a loss in order to get the retail price down to a level they believe consumers will be willing to pay, but any doubters must surely be convinced by market watcher iSuppli's attempt to strip down the Xbox 360 to find out how much its components cost.
According to the company's report, the top-of-the-range, hard drive-equipped Xbox 360 costs Microsoft at least $525 in parts alone. That's already $126 more than the retail price before the cost of assembly, packaging, distribution and marketing are added to the box-cost, and the retailers' cut is deducted from the price tag.
The big winners are IBM and ATI, whose products together account for 47.1 per cent of the Xbox 360's bill of materials (BOM), iSuppli estimates. IBM is supplying the console's 3.2GHz three-core PowerPC processor, which iSuppli claims costs Microsoft $106 a pop - 20.2 per cent of the cost of the console's complement of components. ATI's share is higher - 26.9 per cent - which it gains from its $141 R500 GPU, though it has to pay NEC some of that for the embedded DRAM it uses.
The next largest cost is the 512MB of Samsung DDR SDRAM ($65, or 12.4 per cent of the BOM), followed by the 20GB hard disk (10.4 per cent). You can see the full breakdown here.
iSuppli estimates that rising yields of the various chips used in the Xbox 360 will drive down costs going forward. But even if they don't, Microsoft almost certainly doesn't expect to make money on the console, passing lower costs on to the consumer by reducing the price of the console. Instead, it will be looking to recoup its hardware losses through software licensing royalties and the sale of its own Xbox 360 games. ®

Gates Says Linux Best OS EverBy Brian Briggs |
At a hastily convened press conference Bill Gates announced that he personally thinks that "Linux is the best OS ever."
Gates then went on for fifteen minutes explaining why Linux was superior to all other computer operating systems - "especially Windows." During the question and answer period that followed many reporters openly questioned Gates sanity and sobriety. "Have you gone mad?", "Are you drunk?", "What about Windows XP," they asked. Though it was requested several times Gates refused both a psychiatric examination and a breathalyzer test. Scores of Linux web sites were quick to declare victory with headlines like, "Torvalds Defeats Gates!" Others were more hesitant, and suspected a Microsoft conspiracy. Open source advocate Bruce Torman said, "Microsoft is at it again! Bashing...er...praising Linux. This argument that Linux is the best OS ever is just another red herring by the Microsoft PR machine. Aw screw it, I don't know what the hell to make of it." In addition to praising Linux as the best operating system ever, Gates also had some critical comments of Microsoft's flagship OS. "I never really liked Windows all that much," said Gates, "All that crashing and rebooting drove me nuts. I stopped using it about 3 years ago, but it was a pretty good money maker for the company so we stuck with it." Gates added, "Keep in mind that the opinions offered are my own personal opinions, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Microsoft." A Microsoft marketing representative was heard muttering, "You got that right." |
Lagu Sudirman sket... (berjiwa r sket time time nak raya nih!)
Dalam dingin subuh hatiku terusik,
Kenang nasib diri di rantauan,
Bergema takbir raya, menitis air mata,
Terbayang suasana permai desa,
Rindu hati ini inginku kembali,
Pada ayah bonda dan saudara,
Tetapi aku harus mencari rezeki,
Membela nasib kita bersama...
( korus )
Hanya ku sampaikan doa dan kiriman tulus ikhlas,
Dari jauh kupohonkan ampun maaf,
Jangan sedih pagi ini tak dapat kita bersama,
Meraikan aidil fitri yang mulia...
Restu ayah bonda kuharap selalu,
Hingga aku pulang kepadamu...
( ulang korus )
Restu ayah bonda kuharap selalu,
Demi anakmu yang kini jauh...
SELAMAT PUASA... (tak main r skip pose)
Kalo saper saper nak beli Sony MP3 player, sama ader vaio pocket or any kind of HW series, consider this..
Sony only let u to synchronize your MP3 player (Sony called it "Atrac Player") with 5 computers only. This people tanak bagi kite share "illegal" mp3 with others using their players. Shit.. the problem is .. what happen if i have to format my computer 5 times? Believe me, this thing sometimes happen. since may 05, aku dah format 3 times la.. sekali coz by the spyware yg degil tak ilang, satu lagi sbb aku tukar hard drive, satu lagi sbb windows tak stable. Every time i did that Sony's connect.com pikir aku guna kom lain tuk sync mp3 player aku.. shit...
I agree that Sony's mp3 player is a very good player... but i just couldnt take this kind of bullshit.
One more thing, software yg sony bagi tuk sync/tranfer file is suck! SonicStage suck!! the included eaphone suck too.. its too large!
