An Xbox, Minus The Games

    Of Apple, Google and Microsoft, I think the latter has the best living room device around, even if you never play a single game on the Xbox 360. So it makes a lot of sense for Microsoft to do an Xbox that's simply a streaming device — though we'll have to wait till next year for it, according to The Verge. (The Xbox branding probably continues to make less and less sense as Microsoft strips it from its gaming roots and splashes it on anything that's remotely about entertainment, though.)
