Now how are we supposed to find out what makes Xbox One levitate?
I haven’t been retweeted this much since that whole Justin Bieber thing.
Earlier today I mentioned in passing on Twitter that Microsoft had cancelled the Q&A roundtable that was going to follow their Xbox One-focused E3 press conference on Monday morning. It was a disappointing turn of events, but since actually having a roundtable after an E3 press conference is fairly unusual, I saw it more as an easy come, easy go type of thing.
The Internet at large, however, had other opinions.

One Xbox. Many questions.
Earlier this week, Microsoft finally took the wraps off Xbox One, the company’s next-generation successor to the eight-year-old Xbox 360 game console. Now that the initial fanfare is over – at least until the E3 Expo gets under way in a little over two weeks – I’ve had a day or two to mull over what I heard, saw and touched this week. Here are my early impressions of Xbox One.

Now you can get pizza delivered to your house with an app on your Xbox 360. That is, if you are, for some reason, reading this in U.S. As the app is not available in Canada.

Everyone has played it — they’ve clicked on the solitaire.exe icon when they were bored and wanted to kill time during the Windows 3.0 era.
Angry Birds artist Evan Roth has released a limited edition deck of cards as a homage to the world’s greatest time-stealer.
Bicycle Cards even printed the novelty deck for the National Design Museum’s store Cooper-Hewitt in New York City. Unfortunately Cooper-Hewitt sold out of the 500 decks pretty fast.
But have no fears. I’m sure the hipster crowd who shop at Urban Outfitters will see this icon pop up eventually.

So I was really interested when I got a peek at Microsoft’s Premium Collection of PC’s this week. The software giant put together a list of super-powered computers for this Christmas, each with a different user in mind, including gamers.
While you can check out the full Premium Collection at Best Buy, I asked Marc Aube, Product Marketing Director at Microsoft, why they chose the Asus G74Sx as the best gaming PC under the Christmas tree this year.
