PC World – Can’t get enough Xbox LIVE out of your Xbox 360? Apple iPhone owner? Two bucks to spare? You might care to give 360 Live a look. It’s a smallish 1.6MB app available through Apple’s iPhone store designed to let you reach out and touch your Xbox LIVE account from just about anywhere, as well as several of the service’s tracking and messaging features.

You might’ve seen the Volt make a guest appearance on the futuristic Surrogates movie already, but now Chevy’s taking the opposite approach by looking toward the past to promote its PHEV. Bob’s Big Boy fast food restaurant in California got treated to a surprise visit by a production model of that most bodacious Chevrolet, and as you can see above, it doesn’t look horribly out of place seated in among its elders, a 1969 Camaro and an Impala SS. Joining in the weekly classic car meetup hosted by the restaurant, this appearance was a prelude to the production Volt being shown off at the LA Auto Show, which kicks off this coming Friday. So if you wanna see it, you can either attend the event or wait for the car to roll up at your nearest Wendy’s.

Bad, but entirely expected news on the MID front. You remember the Mobile Internet Device right? UMPCs by another name usually running Linux-variants in that middling ground between smartphones and netbooks that nobody seems capable of making an attractive use-case for beyond the living room sofa? According to DigiTimes, “several members” of Intel’s Mobile Internet Devices Innovation Alliance (MIDIA) have quit development of MID devices due to very weak shipments. Even the promise of Intel’s Moorestown platform has lured “only a limited number of vendors” to launch related products in 2010. Sources claim that vendors will instead refocus on other areas of possible growth. Imagine that.

Members abandoning Intel’s MID alliance? Hopefully. originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 30 Nov 2009 07:17:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
