Microsoft getting weird today

XBOX SERIES X-BITE | Sweepstakes Trailer - YouTube

Watch On

Microsoft is giving away a one-of-a-kind Xbox, and it's not just a color swap or a different shape. The XBOX Series X-BITE is a fully playable XBOX Series X swallowed whole by an alligator. Yes, the company is giving away an Xbox that you can play from inside an alligator.

I'm not sure if this is an attempt to distract from the negative press around Microsoft's Xbox division and the recent layoffs or just an odd marketing ploy, but I kind of want to win an Xbox Series X in an alligator, and I'm going to assume I'm not alone. It's also worth noting that this isn't a taxidermied real alligator, but rather it's a creation of creature animatronics specialists from John Nolan Studio, which has made creatures for "The Witcher," ‘Jurassic World Dominion," and the upcoming "Harry Potter" series.

"Measuring more than five feet from snout to tail, the console sits inside a meticulously crafted alligator, visible through an illuminated XBOX Nexus in its body. A custom XBOX Wireless Controller with bite marks rests between its jaws, complete with XBOX-green irises and Nexus-inspired pupils," reads the Microsoft news release.

Google shuts down Android TV manufacturer after discovering malware backdoor

Google has cut ties with a company called Vidostrong Technology Co after discovering it had created a malware backdoor into certified Android TV boxes. Google says it has taken legal action to shut down the domains and servers Videostrong used to control its botnet and install malware modules.

"We found this malicious software built directly into many different device models and brands over multiple years, supported by dedicated infrastructure and constantly evolving configurations to evade detection and manage their affiliates," Google wrote.

"We believe this campaign wasn’t an isolated rogue insider or a development oversight. As a result, Google has cut ties with Videostrong and banned them from making devices with preloaded Google apps."
