• TWC9: Kinect for Windows SDK v1.7, SignalR eBook, Meteor and more

  I glanced at Aviary's blog post and it doesn't look like they have an SDK specifically for WP8 - just WP7 and Windows 8.

• Channel 9 turns 9!

  Thanks so much to everyone at Channel 9 now (and those who have gone before) for all of the good information that you've shared over the years.

  For many of us, you provide the face of Microsoft and the voice, even in more recent years when information directly from teams has become more scarce.

  Keep on keeping on. ツ

  Channel 9, thank you so much for these video series.

  Bob is a clear teacher. This is exactly the sort of content that always needs to be on C9, so that those of us who have been interested niners for years, but didn't know how to get started, have a place to turn.

  Laura, where in the world do you come up with all of the audio clips where you cut to text on the screen for a moment and comment on/reply to something that you or Paul just said? In any case, it's one of my favorite parts of ping! and adds a great fun flavor to the show. At least, I've always assumed that those quotes were your doing. Perhaps there's someone else involved in production there at Channel 9 who picks these?

• TechFest 2011: 3D Scanning with a regular camera or phone!

• Silverlight TV 65: 3D Graphics

  Apr 05, 2011 at 7:16 PM

  @Aaron Oneal: Thanks for taking the time to answer! 

  One thing that I would like to clarify is exactly where Silverlight 5's 3D will work. I've heard it said multiple times that in IE9, SL5 will take advantage of IE9's hardware acceleration. My question is whether SL5 3D will also work in Firefox 4, Chrome X, Safari 5, and Opera 11 on Windows.

  Also, will Silverlight 5's 3D work in supported browsers on Intel Macs, using OpenGL under the hood in that case, or is Silverlight 5 3D only available for computers with DirectX9 or above?
