You might have noticed with the latest updates that our XBOX Live applications are completely free of advertising.  We experimented with advertising for a while, particularly with the iNXES application, but failed to find an media company with the inventory and clients to make it worth our time.  Without ads, we are faster and frankly, better.  More

We have received a number of angry messages from folks that were scraping our old server data feeds without permission.  While we appreciate the frustration that their web sites and applications no longer function, these folks were stealing bandwidth and slowing the system down for our legitimate users.
 
It costs us a considerable amount of money to deliver these FREE 1337pwn.com XBOX Live Friends applications to the community.  While Microsoft is VERY SUPPORTIVE of our efforts, their support is …  More

If you haven't run your 1337pwn.com application in a while, you may have been presented with an upgrade message.  Our old data server farm has been replaced with a new high performance backend built on Google App Engine.  What does this mean?  All of our applications run faster. Slowdowns caused by heavy use are a thing of the past.

With the new backend changes, we updated our iPhone/iPod Touch XBOX Live Friends list applications to make them faster and address some open issues.  We're now easily…  More

The new 1337pwn.com data servers are hosted in Google's App Engine cloud.  It promises to be more reliable and provide the scalability that we need.  As long as the Google App Engine is running properly and XBOX Live isn't down, 1337pwn.com should be running properly.  

You can check on system status using this link: http://code.google.com/status/appengine
As always, please send a message to borocouncilman on XBOX Live with any questions.

Thank you!

Since the infancy of gaming there has always been a physical product.  Whether it's the floppy disk which some garage programmer made 30 years ago, a cartage for the old N64 or gameboy, or a blue-ray disk for the PS3, there has always been something that you can hold on too.

However, in recent years digital distribution has slowly begun fazing out a physical product.  This method has been largely utilized in recent years over Xbox Live and PSN, but even more so on portable devices such as the iPh…  More

What is Doublethink?

 

Have you ever read George Orwell's novel 1984? People tend to think that complete surveillance is the means the party uses to uphold it's power. But they have another tool I believe to be much more powerful: Doublethink. It's the ability to accept two contradicting facts as part of one reality. Example: A party-member plans an attack on a facility which is to be blamed on an imaginary enemy. Because of Doublethink he can accept the fact that he planned the attack without dou…  More

With the recent updates to our applications, you'll notice that our experiments with advertising within the iPhone applications have come to an end.  Personally, I think that our apps are better for the change. I'm confident that there won't be a community revolt with the disappearance of the advertising.

Why did we have in app ads in the first place?  It costs us an incredible amount of money to maintain the 1337pwn.com server farm.  You can't support over 3 million gamers on a hobbyist setup an…  More
