Google+ code points toward Games and Questions features

<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79281" height="68" src="http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/8245/googlecodegames.jpg" title="google-code-games" width="360" />Google’s stab at the social networking pie has ended up with the Google+ for the moment, and some of the more enterprising people out there decided to check out its source code – where snippets of it has shown clear references to a couple of (unannounced) new services – Google+ Games and Google+ Questions. Gaming code in there does support previous leaks and speculation that surround job postings, which means the Internet search giant has been on the quiet when it comes to constructing their very own Web-based gaming platform.</p><br/>Not only that, other parts of the Google+ code do include a list of references to a Questions feature which might just work in tandem with the +1 system. Apparently, prompts will appear to notify users whenever someone +1′s their question, shares a question, adds a comment, or receives an answer.<br/><br/>There is no official announcement concerning gaming capabilities or the Questions feature on Google+, since it is still in the limited beta testing phase.<br/><div><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=tCjJRH2D5BQ:Xx3BCMINDNE:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/9100/29257887.gif" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=tCjJRH2D5BQ:Xx3BCMINDNE:qj6IDK7rITs"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img807.imageshack.us/img807/3986/99369822.gif" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=tCjJRH2D5BQ:Xx3BCMINDNE:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/8513/55932156.gif" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=tCjJRH2D5BQ:Xx3BCMINDNE:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/6006/99824503.gif" /></a></div>

Xbox 360 gets a limited edition orange Tron controller, because wired gamers need love too

In most circumstances, we'd argue a self-illuminating controller crisscrossed by bright bands of orange is a couple of notches over the top, but when it's Tron you're talking about, it all makes sense. This latest peripheral for the 360 is up for pre-order now at $39.99 and comes prepackaged with the smugness of knowing that each one sold will be part of a very limited 250-unit production run. It's officially licensed by Microsoft and arriving at snowy doorsteps some time later this month. A less exclusive blue brother should be joining it soon as well, in case the current hue's not quite to your liking.
