A report by CSOOnline presented the possibility that Microsoft would be able to ban “offensive language” from Skype, Xbox, and, inexplicably, Office. The post, which cites Microsoft’s new terms of use, said that the company would not allow users to “publicly display or use the Services to share inappropriate content or material (involving, for example, […]

Better mind your Ps and Qs, because daddy Gates is watching.
Microsoft is updating its terms of service on May 1, and the news rules just so happen to explicitly prohibit the use of “offensive language” on its various platforms. Those platforms include Skype and Xbox Live.

“By agreeing to these Terms, you’re agreeing that, when using the Services, you will follow these rules,” explains the new code of conduct. “Don’t publicly display or use the Services to share inappropriate content or material (involving, for example, nudity, bestiality, pornography, offensive language, graphic violence, or criminal activity).” Read more…

Xbox Live is down.
That harsh reality hit thousands of gamers Thursday afternoon as they desperately tried, and failed, to log into the gaming platform. And they are pissed.
Microsoft confirmed the problem in a tweet, as well as on the Xbox Live status page.
“We are aware that some members may be having problems signing in to Xbox Live,” noted the service page. “We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, and we will be sure to provide you with frequent updates.”
Hey everyone! We’re aware that some of you are having trouble signing into Xbox Live – the right teams are hard at work to get everything working again. Thanks so much for all your patience!
