Chrome doesn't support Silverlight's windowless mode correctly so in the near future, the Silverlight creative won't appear in Chrome on the microsoft.com homepage any more either. Ditto Safari for Windows and Opera 9, though it looks like Opera 10 alpha supports windowless Silverlight just fine.

Most user agent sniffing code hasn't been updated to account for Chrome, which pretends to be Safari, for whatever reason:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/1.0.154.36 Safari/525.19

I check inside the method to see if an invoke is required. If so have the delegate make a recursive call to the method, otherwise perform the action.

This is in vb but should be clear.

 Public Sub ReadKeyboard()
        If Me.InvokeRequired Then
            Dim x As Action = AddressOf ReadKeyboard
            Me.Invoke(x)
        Else
            me.Text = "Keyboard acquired"
        End If
 End Sub

A "My Threads" page is definitely something we've talked about adding and would definitely add value.  We just need to find the time to build something like this and we're currently swamped with other time sensitive projects.

Google Reader is a bit different in that it's only querying the RSS feeds you've subscribed to which is more than likely a smaller list than all posts on Channel 9.

I do this all the time...a "Mark all as read" feature is built in to Google Reader. Of course, this works only for finding new threads if you're subscribed to 'Channel 9' RSS feeds, but it also works if you're subscribed to comments on a particular thread.

blowdart has asked for mark all as read too.  So my explaination of why it's not an easy change is over there too.  We figured more people would read less than half of the threads that exist so we built the data to be scalable that way.  If we hear enough people say they read more than half of the threads that go through the coffeehouse, I'm sure we'd be motivated to make the change.  So far there have been 2 of you.

I'd be honest and say I don't think it adds anything or makes it really different, to me it just serves as a barrier for people to realize whats actually going on here..

I'm surprised that you didn't mention GWT or Script#.  GWT is more popular than Volta, Script#, and JSC combined.

It isn't too hard to envision an optimizing JavaScript JIT compiler being able to optimize computationally intensive code with no I/O or DOM manipulation to C-level performance figures. These optimizations are largely (but not completely) irrelevant to Web programming. I don't really see people flocking to reimplement their performance-critical code in JavaScript. They should be focusing on speeding up the DOM and browser rendering stacks instead.

The Firefox addition here compiles the JavaScript and stores it for later use. That's why they get the speed improvements. It's like ASP.NET's compiliation and storing for future requests - but on the client side.

I'm also rather suspicious when I get these kind of bold statements. Even a lot of the scientific papers say something that is tailored to their set of test data and doesn't expand to the real world... and if I read something like this on a website my suspicious alarm bell rings like crazy.

>> I'm also rather suspicious when I get these kind of bold statements.

1. "Hey, no fair!"
   
2. JSC and Volta just got more relevant for cross-platform RIAs

"My wife and I recently had a baby, and I will be on parental leave until the end of August helping to take care of him. During this time I will not be responding to email.

Unfortunately because of the volume of email I receive on a weekly basis, I won't be able to respond to the email you just sent (my mailbox will be full and auto-deleting before I return).

Please re-send your email at the end on September 1st if you need to reach me with it."

• You can't easily pass a filtergraph to a MediaElement (although there are workarounds).
  
  
• You can't get at the filtergraph (via WPF) that a MediaElement is using.
  
  
• If you want to have a source filter that loads a graph (so you can register a URL or file extension to have MediaElement load it) then you need to make sure it uses the EVR to render and not VMR*.
  
  
• Using DirectShow via DirectX requires a HwndHost and will then not take part in the compositing and as a result will always be on top of everything else.

Whether these are issues or not depends entirely on what you are intending to do.

Somewhat related to this, can anyone recommend a good (but not terribly expensive) video camera? Something in the $800-$1000 range?

On the C9 videos whilst the colour's fine, the picture isn't exactly sharp. I don't know if this is an artifact of compression or just the lens work, but I'm after great pixel quality and moderately long battery life.
