You”ll need to have your Xbox 360 connected to your home network. If you don’t know how to do this, look it up. Once you’ve got that done, make sure your Windows XP has Service Pack 2 (SP2), SP3 (Service Pack 3) works as well. If you don’t have it, download it. Once that’s all taken care of, you’ll need one of the following pieces of software:
*Windows Media Player;
*Microsoft Zune.
Either one will work, in fact you might already have an older version on Media Player so if you want to upgrade it go into Windows Media Player, choose “Help”, then choose “Check For Player Updates”. Once Windows Media Player 11 is installed, make sure your Xbox 360 is on.
In Windows Media Player, click “Library”, then “Media Sharing”, then select “Share my media” and click on “OK”. Your console should show up. Click it and press “Allow”.
Now, go to your Xbox 360, go to the “Media” area. Select either Music, Pictures or Video. I’ll pick Video as an example, then select “Computer”, then pick something to play. Now, you’ve got video streaming off your PC through your Xbox 360 on your television. It works for MP3’s as well.
Now, if you want to take Music off your Zune, use the Zune software. Click “Options”, then “Library”, then click on “Media Sharing”. Then select “Share my media”, select your options (Music, Video or Pictures), then choose “OK”.
Hilariously, you cannot connect to both the WIndows Media Player and the Zune software at the same time.
To switch between the two, go to your Xbox 360’s “System” area. Select “Computers”. Here, you can disconnect from one and reconnect to the other. Whichever way you connect, it’s nice to know that the movies and music you download on your PC, can be transferred to your television via the Xbox 360.
Hope this helped.

Can anyone help identifying an old NES game?
There’s this game I’m having trouble remembering the name to. It involved two army type guys in berets and whatnot, one red and one blue, and the fought with knives. Help anyone?

THATS EASY! Its RUSH’N ATTACK!! It was originally an arcade game released in 1985 by Konami. Then it was released for the nintendo about a year later. Its one of my favorite games of all time! Here are some lesser known facts about this game
1. It was called GREEN BERET around the world and only in the United States was it called Rush’n Attack but I think rushn attack is a better name dont you? I assume konami didnt want to offend europeans and russians with this games title. Here in the united states at the time though the “russians” were our greatest threat! Even Ronald Reagan called them an evil empire at one time if im not mistaken! With movies like RED DAWN and RAMBO 2 and 3 it makes sense for konami to try to sell more arcade units by catering to our political views of the time.
2. The arcade game was MUCH more difficult than the NES counterpart and was only a single player game.
3. The NES version had a couple extra levels to lengthen the game a bit and had 2 player simultaneous mode. This version also removed the flamethrower and replaced it with a pistol (lame)
If you really like this game and want to play it again I recommend playing the arcade version and test your skills! If you have an xbox 360 you can download it from the online marketplace for $5.
Sandra asks…
Does anyone know of any websites were I can watch 80’s movies for free?
I specifically looking for the movie “The Leftover” which came out in 1986 starring John Denver. I’ve looked on a bunch of websites already and can’t find it at all. It must be free and no download– just watch on line. But I suppose I’m kinda desperate now so if downloading is what I have to do I’ll do it. Thanks in advance!

David asks…
How do I get money to start investing?
I don’t want to start some fund etc. I just wanna invest my own money but I need it. Is there some sort of loan or something that I can get from somewhere.
(PS – I’m really a beginner, so my questions might sound weird to you if you’ve been in the business since long. I’m just 16)
Thanks
Nagesh answers:
The first thing to understand is that saving large amounts of money takes a long, long time. It also requires discipline and the ability for you to go without things, while you go about reaching your saving goal. For example, do you have the discipline to miss the latest movie at the theater? Can you sometimes go without Starbucks or whatever your favorite drink of choice is? These are questions you have to ask yourself and be honest with the answers.
No, saving doesn’t mean you have to totally go without things you enjoy or have no fun at all. In fact, you can. However, you must be ever mindful of the fact that you are trying to save money, and that anything that gets in the way of that can harm goal. Again, like, going to the movies versus watching free movies online or buying a book versus downloading e-books and these sorts of things.
Okay, with that said, ask yourself what is the goal of your saving. Are you saving to buy a car? Are you saving for college? Are you saving for your future or to buy a house? Or, are you wanting to save simply because you like the idea of having money on hand, and enjoying the benefits of this?
I recommend that you open a simple savings account. Decide on how much per week you want to deposit into your account. Keep this amount as consistent as you can. No, you won’t earn much interest, but it will help you to learn discipline. Knowing that you will be depositing that set amount into your account each and every week, will certainly teach you that, there are indeed good things worth waiting for.
When you get to say, $1,000-$1,500, open what’s called a money market account. This type of an account is similiar to savings account, but it pays a bit more interest. Yes, every little bit of interest helps.
When you hit the $3,500-$5,000 mark and your’re wanting to use your money to invest in your long term future, the stock market is the best place to be. For an inexperienced investor, I would recommend buying what’s called a low cost S&P 500 stock index fund. Basically, this type of financial instrument lets you buy shares in the entire stock market, with a relatively small investment. Again, this is really a LONG term approach to building wealth. If you’re just wanting to save for college or to buy a house, despite what other people will tell you, the stock market is NOT the place to be. The stock market is a great place to invest if you won’t be needing your money for at LEAST 5 years – and even THAT horizon is too short. I would say at least TEN years.
Also, the reason I mentioned the good old fashioned saving account and the money market account is that you will ALWAYS have access to your money. Whereas, with a certificate of deposit (CD), for example, your money will be tied up for a specific amount of time, and you can’t get access to it without serious penalties.
So, it’s great you’re wanting to save! Just try to remember the things I’ve mentioned, and you should be well on your way to success.
Good luck!
