Microsoft just announced that DLC for what may be the most anticipated game of the year, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, will first show up exclusively on the Xbox 360 as a timed exclusive, further emphasizing company’s push towards gaining the competitive advantage in multi-platform triple-A games. Just like we saw with the expansions for Grand Theft Auto IV and the overpriced DLC of Call of Duty, Microsoft is bringing their A-Game in getting a head start on additional content for the industry’s biggest multi-platform titles and we’re not surprised by this news of their partnership with Bethesda for Skyrim in the slightest....

Windows 10X Integrated Anti-Theft As Bleeping Computer reports, the upcoming streamlined version of Windows 10, known as Windows 10X, will include a new anti-theft feature. The anti-theft feature will require the user to sign into a linked Microsoft account to perform a system reset. As it stands, anyone with access to an unlocked Windows 10 machine can use the “Reset this PC” function to wipe the device completely. If your laptop is stolen, resetting the operating system is one of the first things the thief will do to “clean” the device....

Xbox Game Pass has been a huge win for Xbox, and it has been investing in it heavily with a steady stream of new games being added to the service and even bringing an additional huge library to PC. The program is such a great deal that it seems like a no-brainer for every Xbox player and a new update aims to make playing with friends that much easier....

Microsoft is well aware of the shift in perception surrounding its console strength, too - a recent interview with vice president of Xbox Mike Ybarra revealed that the company now feels ready to extend an open invitation to other industry competitors for crossplay partnerships. In an interview with VG 24/7, Ybarra had this to say: Microsoft has famously attempted to sway Sony on its staunch no-crossplay stance in recent months, but this is the first time a prominent Xbox team member has suggested other crossplay partners as real possibilities....

It is not exactly known how hydrochlorothiazide works, but it is thought to remove extra salt and water from the body by increasing urine flow. By doing this, hydrochlorothiazide keeps your heart from working too hard to pump blood which lowers blood pressure and reduces swelling. Eventually, the rate at which your heart pumps blood returns to normal, and the peripheral vascular resistance is reduced, which leads to a continued decrease in blood pressure....

The Utah Jazz guard tweeted about his disappointment at the Michigan loss, but that wasn't enough for a few folks who no doubt cheered Burke on just last season. Burke averaged 18.6 points and 6.7 assists as a sophomore in leading the Wolverines to a national title game appearance.

Sarah Lauback, her husband David Lauback, and their five children made it out of their burning house in Holly, in Oakland County, on Sunday night, Fox 2 Detroit reported. But the property was completely destroyed in a fire that started in the attic. “We are thankful none of our kids were in it, but everything we worked for went up in flames,” Sarah Lauback, who is the director of nursing at a nursing home in Montrose, told the station....

It was a legitimate question when Michigan coach Juwan Howard slapped Wisconsin assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft after a verbal altercation with Badgers coach Greg Gard on Feb. 20. The program foundation built through the John Beilein era appeared to be at a crumbling point. Michigan, ranked No. 6 in the preseason, was in a free-fall to the NIT. Howard, who was suspended for the remainder of the regular season, returned for the Big Ten tournament and watched the Wolverines blow a 17-point second lead against Indiana in the quarterfinals....

Indiana did not do everything right on the final defensive possession of its Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal against the Michigan Wolverines. Michigan’s players, though, did almost nothing they had planned. And still UM won, 72-69, on Chatman’s stunning buzzer-beating 3-pointer.

“One of the teeth I had knocked in half in ‘Hell in a Cell’ is still in half,” Foley said. “It’s taken on a bluish tint because of the damage to the roots. So while some people may claim to use a Bluetooth, I’ve actually got one.” Foley made his in the WWE as Mankind, and instantly feuded with the Undertaker, culminating in a match at King of the Ring....

In recent years, increasing attention has been drawn to the impact of microplastics—tiny fragments of plastic—on the environment and the potential risks they pose to biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. Scientists have recognized that soil ecosystems—particularly agricultural land—can absorb large quantities of microplastics. However, the effects of microplastics on these ecosystems—both above and below the ground—have remained relatively unknown. “There is quite a lot of evidence of how microplastics are affecting animals and plants in aquatic ecosystems—like oceans, lakes and rivers—but only recently have scientists been focusing on what actually may happen in terrestrial ecosystems such as soils,” Bas Boots, lead author of the research from Anglia Ruskin University in the U....

A brand new trailer was recently released on the Xbox YouTube channel showcasing more of the gorgeous open-world title. Instead of focusing on the material inside of the trailer, a fair bit of controversy has surfaced regarding just what platform the footage was actually captured on. With the video appearing on the official Xbox YouTube Channel, fans naturally assumed the video represented gameplay from the upcoming Xbox One version of the game....

However, that changed this summer. Beginning in July, Xbox One sales picked up, taking over the top spot in console sales since. That momentum has been good for Xbox, which released the Xbox One S and announced next year’s Project Scorpio, both of which offer features not currently available on any PlayStation 4 device. These successes together constitute what one Microsoft executive is claiming to be a “turning point” for Xbox One....

The Xbox One S is Microsoft’s iterative improvement over the original Xbox One, rebuilt with improved hardware and additional functionality. New features include the ability to play 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays, 4K video streaming, and HDR for supported TVs. And while the Xbox One S is effectively still just a standard Xbox One, it does show some improvement in game performance on a case by case basis. Note that this deal is only meant for 1TB bundles of the Xbox One S and not the 500GB model bundle....

The large size of Microsoft Flight Simulator’s download was previously justified by its massive world, with satellite data used to re-create every airport on Earth for the game. It seems, however, that those who buy the game digitally will not have to sit through as much time downloading the game, at least all at once.

What’s Coming in the New Microsoft Office? Unfortunately, we don’t have a lot to go off of right now. All we know for sure are two sentences that appear in the Microsoft Tech Community: While this doesn’t tell us a lot, there are two points of interest in the first sentence alone. We will share additional details around the official names, pricing and availability of all these products later. First, Microsoft calls this new product a “perpetual release,” which suggests a new standalone product instead of a subscription model....

Initially, certain gamers balked at the idea - especially before Microsoft detailed the Combo Breaker Pack and Ultra Edition options. However, as further details (and characters) have been revealed, the demo/free-to-play approach is starting to look like a smart idea - especially since gamers still have the capability of buying Killer Instinct as if it was a non-free-to-play digital offering. Now, with the news that developer Double Helix Games intends to offer a new “season” of Killer Instinct each year, it sounds as though the idea isn’t just smart, it has the potential to be extremely profitable for years to come....

The statement posted Sunday that “Following a conversation between Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and President Donald J. Trump, Microsoft is prepared to continue discussions to explore a purchase of TikTok in the United States.” This came two days after Trump told reporters at the White House ,“We are looking at TikTok. We may be banning TikTok. We are looking at a lot of alternatives with respect to TikTok.” Then later on Air Force One he went further, saying it was a definite ban....

For the comic fans, it’s worth differentiating which Captain Marvel this design is based on. The character has underwent several costume and identity changes since Mar-Vell was first introduced in 1967, but this Xbox is based on the MCU Carol Danvers manifestation of the character. For those interested in owning this new custom Captain Marvel Xbox One X, they will want to follow the below link to enter the sweepstakes....

However, a lot of that comes down to timing, competition, and more. In short, when it comes to the release of the Xbox Series X and Microsoft’s future, it seems unlikely that recent events will have much bearing when taken in context. RELATED: Mixer and Facebook Gaming Partnership was Not in Response to Recent Reports Mixer Buyout Mixer’s shut down certainly came as a surprise. First introduced in January 2016, the service has only been second in terms of streams to Twitch and had 4 million unique channels come 2020....
