Netflix controlled by Kinect?

It looks like Kinect is being used for everything these days! Sony and Wii might as well give up their motion controls and adapt to the Kinect, because it's winning over everything... Netflix has decided, apparently to allow controls by Kinect. This makes things a bit interesting and awesome at the same time.

Kinect for Netflix controls are only on the Xbox 360 right now, though; however, the Kinect is so awesome that I would bet it could at least spread to a few other Netflix decides. If you don't know what Kinect is: Kinect is a motion control device - need for a controller or remote of any kind, because it senses sound, movements (gestures), pictures and many other things!

This Kinect thing is getting really big, and has caused Microsoft to make a lot of money and their game and 360 sales to go way up!

Windows 8 - Leaked and Features - App Store and Ribbon!

Windows 8 is looking to be more like Microsoft Office, with features like the Ribbon that now are part of windows explorer itself.

It is said to be an Operating system that can be used on phones, tablets and on desktops! This means good and bad things: the interface will be more user friendly, but probably at the loss much of the customization that windows is known to easily allow. I really hope this isn't the case, but if it's made for phones and tablets then they probably don't want people messing with the OS as much as usual.

We'll see how it goes, though.
