Defrag: Change Pinned Sites Icons, Laptop WiFi Router, Full Path for File
4 days agoI'd love to try one of those Iconia dual touchscreen machines for creating custom MIDI or OSC interfaces with http://www.gesturespark.com/ or Usine Pro.
TWC9: 4 Years of TWC9, Kinect SDK, C++, & more
6 days agoI want Pete Brown to be on your show and talk about Commodore 64s
I've owned a VIC-20, C=64 and an Amiga 500.
Ping 130: Xbox LIVE for Droids and iPhones, Where's MIX, Microsoft points, SQL Server Party
Feb 01, 2012 at 6:52 AMI've heard that the reason for points vs. cents is that people are more likely to buy a bunch of points all at once. This way Mirosoft has to deal with credit card transaction fees much less. It wouldn't be efficient for Microsoft to have to deal with credit card fees every time someone buys a 99cent item.
I believe what iTunes does is to not charge you right away but instead they wait for people to make a bunch of purchases that adds up to a certain amount THEN they charge you for that lot of items OR of you don't buy anything more after a certain amount of time they charge you for that one item anyway.
Retailers don't like credit cards because it ends up eating into their profit. They would much rather deal with real money.
Hot Apps: Earthworm Jim HD, Mini Squadrom, Dress Pal, Grantophone, Ski Guide
Jan 22, 2012 at 1:57 PMI see that the link to Grantophone doesn't go anywhere. Here's the correct link.

Most of the Kotsoft software is amazingly fun.
I see that Grantophone has been updated since the last time I saw it and I'm not he first person who wishes he would add MIDI over WiFi/UDPsupport to it.
I wish C9 would interview some small WP7 developers like Kotsoft.
The Grantophone interface has some similarities to the Haken Continuum. http://www.hakenaudio.com/Continuum/.
Hot Apps: Bug Village, Hasta La Muerte, PixelTV, Make Way, WeatherDuck
Jan 19, 2012 at 2:34 PMPixel TV looks great for something so simple. It kinda like when I used to draw stuff on my old VIC-20 and Commodore 64..
Defrag: Gov's Nest, Bitlocker Q's, Win7 Defrag,
Jan 18, 2012 at 6:42 PMYup, the Lenovo Yoga is exactly what I've been waiting for. I'd love to run UsinePro on one of those.
Ping 128: CES, Windows Phone Devs make $$, Kinect for Windows, Mango & Nokia news
Jan 17, 2012 at 7:58 PMThat's good to hear. Hopefully Nokia can help Microsoft out with marketing this OS correctly (because MS and marketing usually don't go very well together).
HTC also seems to still be quite enthusiastic about Windows Phone.
Ping 128: CES, Windows Phone Devs make $$, Kinect for Windows, Mango & Nokia news
Jan 17, 2012 at 10:16 AMIt's great that all these well known geeks/bloggers like WP7 but most regular consumers don't care about this. WP7 phones need to be more visible in stores and the employees need to be well educated in how the OS works so they can start selling them.
