Microsoft’s Major Nelson aka Larry Hryb the Director of Programming for Xbox Live just tweeted that the new Metro-inspired dashboard update for the Xbox 360 has been “slightly delayed” He’ll have a status update on what that means for you “later today”. Sit tight! [Twitter]

Wednesday, December 7, 2011 at 10:46 AMlooks like they’ve pinched apple’s design form and function. Way to go MS. Steal from apple….everyone else does.

Wednesday, December 7, 2011 at 11:05 AMHow have the pinched apples design form and function?
I just had a look at Apple.com
- The top navigation is contained within a glossy bar while the Xbox dashboard has large plain text.
- Apple.com contains a large main story that isn’t contained within a box and 4 sub-items below. The Xbox dashboard all of the items are contained within tiles.
- The Xbox dashboard navigation switches between panels of tiles, while Apple.com navigation switches to entirely different pages that all look and function differently
- They use colour completely differently. Apple.com seems to be very monochromatic with the only colour coming from photos.
I think you are just making things up.
