  1. @notwen Ah, so no toasts at all this time around, or just Twitch toasts?
@crecenteb yup -- twitch broadcasting toasts from your fav's yes -- but not friends online. that will be next month..


  1. @notwen next month April? (we're technically in Feb still)
@crecenteb yes, I should say "the next update after March" :)




This declaration came via the Polygon article on the Twitch application since the latter will offer notifications from your friends Twitch.
Will have to wait a bit to get this functionality yet so obvious but which disappeared on the new generation of consoles since the PS4 did not propose either...

Stephen Elop to the Xbox division head



The information is known since the day before yesterday, that is, as prospective, Stephen Elop, which replaces the interim Julie Larson-Greene (which, itself, had replaced Don Mattrick advantage to reach the Presidency of Zynga seven months ago) as strongman of the Xbox division. Specifically, the former CEO of Nokia is now at the head of the division Devices & Studios that manages commodity hardware from Microsoft including the Windows Phone, Tablet Surface but also gaming consoles and Xbox.

Irony of fate: the Xbox division was precisely a sector that the gentleman wanted to get rid (as well as the Bing search engine) when he was still a candidate for the replacement of Steve Ballmer (this was finally Satya Nadella, who was chosen). Therefore, what about his appointment to the flagship post? His first steps in his new suit will be in any case monitored closely!
