How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
Today's Tablet PCs get about three hours of battery life. We wondered when, or if, that'll improve. Burt Parker works with OEMs on just this issue and his answers are encouraging.
Do you see a way to improve battery life?

Japanese Joint Venture to Develop Super Capacitors

TOKYO — Four companies have agreed to form a joint venture company to promote an electric double-layer capacitor system. Also know as super, or ultra, capacitors, the next-generation electric charge capacitor could eventually replace nickel-metal-hydride and lithium-ion batteries in certain areas.

There should be more things like the Centre for Alternative Technology in the UK. Technology and products based on what nature can provide, without causing pollution. The Eden Project is also interesting (not much to do with batteries in laptops/tablet PC's) but the technology and the site itself is very impressive (built on a disused clay pit that was infertile and flooded frequently). I would recommend anyone who can to go.
