If you believe that the web is only something that's delivered through a browser, then I can appreciate the perspective (though WP7 can absolutely handle browser-based content too). If you believe that the web is a basic component of almost any modern application, then this makes sense. Every day, more devices are connecting to the web. If we exclude games, how many of the top 50 applications in any mobile marketplace would cease to work if they were cutoff from the web? From my perspective, the web may have started out as browser-exclusive, but it's grown well beyond that.

Da Cloud! The timer is a wonderful plot device, and it adds a bit of drama to the conversation. The fact that viewers are passionate about it at all (not always in a good way) tells me that it's working. If we were just a 10-minute show without the annoying buzzer, what fun would that be?

Also, drop an e-mail to pdc09 (at) microsoft.com so we can coordinate the t-shirt.

 

And special thanks to Adam for submitting this Hard Hat Challenge. Looks like it's time for a new puzzle. Smiley

Thanks for your passionate feedback, juicerp! There's nothing we love more than someone who believes in what they're saying. I'm surprised you actually stuck around to watch the whole thing.

For what it's worth, the audio-only versions are also available for download just below the video thumbnail.

 

Keep the feedback coming!

(Sort of) Great job and congratulations, Adam! That puzzle had gone unsolved for quite a long time. Drop us an e-mail at pdc09@microsoft.com with your name and mailing address, and we'll get one of our internal PDC09 posters sent to you. Thanks for sharing the method you used to solve the puzzle.

 

I'm working on a new Hard Hat Challenge, and I hope I can finish it for this week's episode.

(Sort of) Sorry, CKurt...that isn't the correct answer. Sadly, ivan_, your answer isn't correct either.

 

To answer Adam's question, the order is left column, top-to-bottom, next column, top-to-bottom, etc.

(Sort of) Good catch. Here's a link to David Isbitski's post.

 

And by the way, nobody in this thread has answered the challenge correctly yet. The poster is for the first correct answer.

I'm actually surprised that folks remember them! I'd love to hear comments from anyone who'd like the challenges to return. If there's enough interest, I'll see what I can do.

 

ZippyV...sorry, but we don't share exact numbers. I can tell you that the number is > 1 and < 15,000 though. You can kick me at PDC09. Smiley

But realize that we also talk about a lot of non-Microsoft stuff. So you might have to endure. Smiley

 

If you want pure, unadulterated PDC goodness, make sure you follow @pdc09 and track the #pdc09 hash tag.
