Ping 138: Halo 4, Surface 2.0, New Microsoft store, Best way to resign- EVER!This week we had the pleasure of being joined by the most diabolical mind on Channel 9, Larry Larsen. Actually I just looked up "diabolical" and it means "having to do with the devil". Larry doesn't have anything to do with the devil, he's just from Florida. Either way it was gre...

Staff
Here is a list of Channel 9 staff members.
Defrag: Memory Management, Phishing, Inside Microsoft
Apr 26, 2012 at 1:56 PM@TanMan: The device also does VGA. Agreed that bandwidth is an issue.
Ping 138: Halo 4, Surface 2.0, New Microsoft store, Best way to resign- EVER!
Apr 25, 2012 at 10:24 AM@Sadatay: Ha! I've been throwin that sign since Channel 10 days.
Defrag: Moving My Docs, BluRay Troubleshooting, Change Default File Type in Paint.
Mar 28, 2012 at 5:26 PM@Algorithum: Ha! That's the last thing I want burned in to my LCD's at home.
FWIW What I normally use for a 'screensaver' is R4 running through Winamp which I start manually when I'm not using my PC.
Defrag: Mem Cleaners, Syncing Favorites, Batch Image Resize
Feb 16, 2012 at 2:45 PM@MagicAndre1981: The audio problem stemmed from a rewiring of the studio audio, we had a mix problem that was downstream from the audio console, so when our studio op listened to it at the board it sounded fine, but further down the chain where it was recorded it was not. It's since been fixed. Gov is so busy with Win8 work right now I couldn't make him come back over to re-record it.
Defrag: Mem Cleaners, Syncing Favorites, Batch Image Resize
Feb 15, 2012 at 4:38 PM@CHfish: Forehead slap.
Thanks for pointing that out!
Defrag: Change Pinned Sites Icons, Laptop WiFi Router, Full Path for File
Feb 14, 2012 at 10:25 AM@JockStrap: Soluto is a monitoring app for PC's, it's good for maintaining the machines of family members you do tech support for. You can see it as the pick of the week for our "So You Got a New PC" show right after Christmas.
WHOIS: Simon Daniels, Senior Fontography PM
Jan 06, 2012 at 10:46 AMThere is no list, just interesting Microsoft employees who lead us in various areas, in this case fontography. The next interview will be with Danah Boyd, who is a thought leader around social media. Stay tuned.
Defrag: So You Just Got a New PC
Jan 04, 2012 at 2:40 PM@Kevin: You're probably preaching to the choir here. We agree. As for your comment about 'come on Microsoft, don't you see this?" Sure, we are PC users too. That's why all the machines sold at a Microsoft Store come without third party installs. But we don't build PC's - OEM's do. I'm glad we allow them some liberties in their own sandbox. Sometimes the software they include on a machine is very helpful, look at the custom images that Newtek uses for their Tricaster. They couldn't do that if we didn't allow them to put together a custom image.
Defrag: So You Just Got a New PC
Jan 04, 2012 at 2:32 PM@dtower: HA! Sure. So it was a typical home PC that I had built myself. I had the case open and one of the drives was in the wrong spot so I I wanted to move it to the bay below where it was. I *knew* I should have turned the PC off, but I didn't. I unscrewed the drive, pulled it out, as I moved it to the spot below it, I saw the tiniest spark gap between the hard drive and the frame of the PC. It was fried and I was never able to recover anything from it again. I lost original files for logos, invoices, scans, all kinds of really critical data. It was such a loss of data that it really hit me hard.
I'm happy to say almost 15 years later I've not lost a single bit of data, knock on silicon.
Defrag: So You Just Got a New PC
Jan 04, 2012 at 1:27 PM@wkempf: If you want a machine like that, just buy one at a Microsoft Store. They use "Microsoft Signature" machines in the stores. (i.e. no "crapware") [thanks Andrew Richards for the link]
To your statement about how you shouldn't have to uninstall apps; my full ascent. I absolutely agree, but the economics of OEM margins and the freedom allowed OEM's means they can do it if they like. Best practice is to speak with your wallet.
