Avatar Kinect hits Xbox Live.........

Avatar Kinect hits Xbox Live. Microsoft has been touting Avatar Kinect, since CES way back in January, and you can now finally it try out for yourself. The Kinect Fun Labs Gadget is available as a free download for all Xbox Live Gold members starting today, and even non-paying Live members can try it out during a limited trial that runs until September 8th. So just what is it? Partly a tech demo showing off things like new facial expression capabilities, but mostly another way for you to hangout with a few friends online -- up to seven in this case, in your choice of 24 virtual environments. Those looking to try something else a little different with Kinect will also be able to download the Kinect Sparkler 3D finger painting application this Thursday, although it'll cost you 240 Microsoft Points.

An update to Android Market for the devices affected. If your device is affected should have received an email (72 hours of publication of the notice) and a notification on the phone: "Android Market Security Tool March 2011."

I hope Google does not continue discussing this type of failure, first on the issue of websites with malicious objects (wrong) and now in its terminals. I think this is growing too fast and they are going out of hand.
