  There's not a while lotta pixels in some of the early videos
  
  Charles and Dan has acquired quite allot of grey hair in these 9 years too.

• TWC9: IE10 for Win7, VS Guides, Image Watch, Tons of Training and more

  So, can anyone assure me that IE10 in Win7 still uses Cleartype?
  If Cleartype is always off in IE10 like it is in Win8 then I'm not going to be able to use it.
  
  No Cleartype = my eyes watering within a few minutes of using it

• Netduino, GDI and a playable Invaders-like game...

  That's exactly the same breadboard as I got very recently. Did yours smell like mothballs really strong when you first got it?
  
  I'm very new to this and just messing with basic stuff at the moment so I haven't tried an kind of "duino" anything yet.
  If I did I would be more interested in using it for making MIDI controlling devices and maybe some sort of MIDI to CV converter.

  That's great. I love seeing people experimenting with things like this. More people need to start creating instead of just buying gadgets and consuming.

• Ping 164: IllumiRoom, Skype, Ballmer & Basketball, Surface Pro

  I'd rather have the Surface Pro. There are things I've wanted to try for a while on a touchscreen that would be easy to do on the Pro because it can run all the software that's already out there. If I got an RT tablet I would have to wait for someone to write an RT app that does the same thing and there's little hope it'll ever happen.

  I don't see much happening with RT any time soon when it comes to being able to anything other than content consumption. If you want to get anything done you still need "real" Windows.
  
  I'll have to wait for good reviews and detailed specs to see if it's a good ultrabook as well as a tablet. I'm concerned about the low amount of RAM it has and whether the onboard sound works well with ASIO4ALL.

  @dtower:You know, after all these years, for some reason I've actually never gotten myself a 9 guy either.

  I guess you just have to keep asking questions to the viewers so they have a reason to comment.
  
  I've never commented on a Youtube vieo but I comment all the time on Channel 9 because it's a smaller community with real forums.

  Youtube is just for videos.

• Making MIDI Music with the Kinect and a Theremin project

  Midi Yoke
  and a VST called Super Spook Keys when I fist got my Kinect 

• Kinect Fusion Coming to Kinect for Windows SDK [in a future release]

  That should be amazing. Fusion is the most impressive project I've seen for Kinect yet.

  Yes, the iPad vs Surface add is really well done but notice that the iPad is being used to create music while the Surface is just playing music.
  In other words, we need serious tuch enabled music creation apps for Windows RT/8.
  
  I already know about Jordan Rudess' apps that should come out soon but there needs to be lots more AND MIDI in and out support on all of them.
