Off topic, but Laura's hair looks amazing in that light.  And I love the dell phone

Just need to replace the projectors with holo-emitters and you'll have something.

Hmm, did the ability to write Ink messages get removed from messenger or am I just not seeing it for some reason?

Another weekly(ish) show!?!    And it's about WP7?!?

Love it!

Beats hitting refresh waiting for Ping to come out each Monday!

(I kiiid, luv you guys!)

There are pen+touch enabled slates ready right now.  There have been pen enabled slates for years upon years.

So I trust you are also not doing business with any other company that plays by the rules China lays down in order to operate there. 

I'm sure it's possible to rationalize that a search engine is different than shoes or computer parts but that's a shaky distinction.  A company could only do what Google is doing if they don't have much to lose.  If Google was splitting the market share with Baidu there is no way they would pull out.  As it is they had a very small percentage of the search market. 

Compare that to everything MS has in China both now and going forward.  It would be irresponsible of them to have to pull Windows, Office and all the rest just because they didn't filter Bing; and Bing has a smaller share of the search market share there than Google.

Laura, I'm sorry to tell you this but the "name a star after me" thing is a scam.

They are not affiliated with any international body that names stars.  They just publish it in their own material and say "look, it's named after you (according only to us)".  It would be exactly like me picking up rocks and charging people money to name them and giving them an "official" certificate that it had named it after them.

The ButWhy I would like to see is what happened to the photo screen saver from Vista?  It was great with these nice collage effects and even played video clips.  I loved it.  The one for Windows 7 is just a slide show of images and it doesn't even work right on multiple monitors.  But Why?

I agree.  I wonder what other decisions are based in superstition.

It looks cool and I see where they're coming from but am I the only one a little disheartened by the kids comments?  This isn't really a good representation of what programming is and I'm not sure it's fair to lead them down this nice path where they don't think they need to deal with "text and stuff".
