It's a prayer meeting seeking Divine Relief for the markets and a return to the glory days of the "Lion market" (whatever that is). One would think, though, that such distinguished textual scholars would've realised what a terrible, terrible photo-op this would make given the whole Ten Commandments thing...

As reported on Halo.Bungie.Org, here's a 20-minute video walk-through of the New Xbox Experience, the dashboard and OS update coming out over Xbox Live in a couple of weeks. Looks nifty, and it looks like you Netflix-ers are going to make out like bandits on this.

I like the context-sensitive themes, and it looks like navigation will be easier too. And the dashboard-resident party system (just like Halo 2/3's) is going to rock!

-- Steve's not entirely sold on the avatars, though. Too humanocentric... puny humans
