  Where I live Time Warner Cable has interactive ads.  Of course it does not support voice or motion, you have to use some buttons on your remote.

  I've not tried any of them myself so I'm not sure what you can do with them.

  I'm sort of on Facebook most of the day.  I have it tied into my Live account, so it shows up in my Messenger Social section.

  Don't think I could look at Facebook all day though.

• Visual Studio Toolbox: Creating and Using Code Snippets

  Snippets can be a real time saver!  I've been using them for about year now, wish I had started using them earlier.

• A Quick Look At "Windows 8"

  Yes a better choice of words would have been something like "... and now we support development with HTML5 and Javascript..."  I think the way it was worded makes it sound like HTML5/Javascript is the preferred way to develop for Windows 8.

  As for the design, I like the metro standard on the phone.  On a first look I'm not sold on metro as a desktop.

  Parachute reminds me of an old Atari game.  I think it was Skydive or something like that.  You had to parachute your little 8 bit stick figure onto a platform.  The platform could be one of two sizes and moving or stationary depending on the settings.

  I still enjoy some of that 8 bit goodness!  Not to mention some of the fun I had on my 800XL.  I even purchased the Atari Classics Volume 1 for my DS.  I should have picked up the Flashbacks when they were out.

  I love coding and I love Qdoba.  Very nice.  In fact I was having QDoba while watching this video.

  I like the use of stereo but in my view Laura is on the left but comes through the right speaker and Paul is on the right and comes through the left speaker.

  Paul should dress up as the main character from various 8 BIT games.  Well heck, both of you should.
