Rumour: Is This A Slim Xbox 360 Motherboard?
Some shots of what look like smaller Xbox 360 motherboards showed up on a Chinese tech forum. People who know what they're looking at when it comes to this sort of thing say it's a slimmed down CPU and GPU with a massively reduced heat sync for extra hotness. Let's hope they've done the physics maths right on that one.
The only other real notable thing is that there are two SATA ports instead of the single port of the current xbox 360 boards. Clearly this is all 100% confirmed absolute proof that the slim Xbox 360 will have two hard drives (lies).
Read on for pictures and my thoughts on this.

Dear Diary: 10th March 2010
Dear Diary,
I've forgiven Mass Effect 2 for the events of last week.
It's truly amazing the difference a couple of days can make. After my well documented disappointment with Bioware's crew member selection system for the finale of Mass Effect 2 last week, not to mention the associated rage quitting that took place, I picked the game up again, sat through the cut scenes, made some more educated choices and finally got through the first section of the mission without anyone dying.

Bodycount: The New Black?
Codemasters are back in Black. Stuart Black that is, who has today been announced as the Creative Director of a new "genre defining" FPS game from the Guildford based studio. Arriving amid an self-proclaimed orgy of bullets and destruction in Q1 of 2011, Bodycount will have players working for an organisation known only as the 'Network' and tasked with eliminating enemy 'Targets'. It probably goes without saying that the game will support multiplayer action on a single console and online for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Bodycount will utilise Codemaster's EGO engine, traditionally featured in the developer's array of driving simulators, which will allow players to "shred" the environment with bullets and allow complete destruction of the game world. Stuart Black's last game, the eponymously named 'Black' was released by Criterion on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox in early 2006, receiving a good reception from a number of publications. It is now also available on the Xbox 360 as part of the Originals downloads service.
Will Bodycount strike a body blow to traditional first-person shooters or are Codemasters counting their chickens before they're hatched?

Ignoring the cringe worthy marketing speech, bullet based destruction could prove interesting.
