Mythly plug! I love it. $5 please for my marketing services. Or a niner, whatever works for you.

Also I agree about Xbox Glass pointing/swiping difference. Has anyone notice a similar issue with the Skype app? When you use the rear camera, the image is backwards in the "view finder".

laura is sooo carrying this show now that we only have virtual paul left

I really want to watch the episode where they are both virtual. With some random guy/girl pushing a broom trying to figure out what it is they're talking about. That way we can still have someone throwing Niners at the camera for the wrap-up. Maybe they can shot that one when Laura is in NYC for Windows 8/Windows Phone 8 launch events are taking place.

Oh, perhaps Paul should close his window blinds to reduce glare, paint a wall to give it some color, maybe tan or gingerbread, and add some overhead lighting for better camera clarity. He should also think about a better microphone too.

Gingerbread is an actual color, not a reference to an old Android version.

I kinda prefer the colors bagel and pancake. Though Azure blue might be more Microsoft-esk. However you might prefer a shameful plug of your new venture, by hanging a logo and url for people to see. (It's all about marketing.)

Actually I was thinking that Paul was really using an Alpha version of the Office 365 video chat. (Formerly known as Skype.) But hey, Microsoft buying Apple is more plausible.

OR how about this...

He was actually using the new Nokia 920 Windows 8 Phone and the image stabilization feature is so good that his girlfriend was actually holding it, instead of using a tripod. Though I'm not sure if you can use a wired headset with a phone... Just glad you picked a non-moving, anti-reflective, background to shoot with.

Hrmm?? What happened to the Skype logo...

[Queue the rumor mill]!

Laura,

Paul isn't sun bathing on the beach with movie stars. He's on a boat! "Take a good hard look at the [battle yacht money] boat". (signup.mythly.com) Maybe T-Pain and Adam Sandburg are present, idk.

Paul,

Good luck on the start-up! Maybe the Bing Fund can help. (See Ping episode 147)

Paul, best of luck!

Laura, I'm available if you're looking for a co-host.

Please add this definition to Foy's new Office 13 dictionary lookup app.

Battle Yacht Money:

1. > 50 Cent

2. < One Hundred BILLION DOLLARS

3. = Enough money to produce the next 'Boys without Foys' episode.

Did I miss something? My Bing homepage doesn't look like the one in this video. (And I don't mean because it's a different day than when it aired.) I'm looking at the bar below the main image. It's larger and appears to rotate through images. Is this a future feature?

?? WTF ?? 

Uh how the heck could you do that and still be "cross platform" and "in a sandbox" ??

just as SL is not hardware accell for Video, to access a camera or a mic you need some driver / OS support that will be very different for each combo of OS / hardware ....

and for what benefit?

I would say that an app that needs that support should be a sperate app.


also there are some security issues... if SL could use that hardware how would I know that some evil person had not sliped a "spy app" into my system ??

and if the SL CLR had the guts to do the hardware IO then how could anyone say for sure it would be 100% imposible to exploit it to do other system calls ?

sorry but I just see a lot of problems with doing that and keeping with the idea of SL as cross-platform and safe to deploy.
