Totally undeserved! ZuneHD got such high functionallity and quality standards, that I think it still can beat any other portable media player to death, and spit in its carcass, just by putting them side by side.  It was the pionneer of the metro style UI after all.

Saddly it never got the cool factor among common users, perhaps the old "too late" thing has something to do there.

@Jim Young: It is not always suitable to replace an ZuneHD with a mango phone, just because the battery life, or you plan to hace 2 phones?

well, provided that it depends on how and what is sandboxed.  My take is that it will not be totally inmune to malware, but certainly more resilient, at any rate, an security improvement.

Besides the official broadcast, follow the hashtags #build and #bldwin.  http://buildbloggerbash.com/ for good blogger analysis, we'll be a good idea too.

I've already planned my schedule for tomorrow:  I pushed ahead an early meeting I have with a client, then suddenly and unexpectedly an emergency is going to happen at my apartment forcing me to return too it half an hour before the keynote begins,  when I get to it, I'm going to plug my laptop into my HDTV so I can see the keynote live broadcasting and related tweets in it, while I pretend I keep working on the laptop's regular screen.

While I undestand MS position regarding its Windows ecosystem, I have to give credit to Dovella: MS releasing its own computing (PC/Tablet/Phone) hardware keeps crossing my mind.

Not like MS is going to do it but they should certainly be more agresive with OEMs, at very least a big time corporate letter, telling them "stop ruining the Windows experience with your cr@p, its your busines too to the one you are ruining".  And while they are at it start poiniting fingers and slaping someone on the face, for allowing device manufactures to create such major mess they eagerly call "device drivers" with their unconsistent and horrible GUIs, and anoying poping messages all the time, devices included in this complain goes from mouses, all the way to printers, passing through wifi drivers.  Couple of years ago I created a thread here on C9, regarding this issue.

A good step in the right direction is the Microsoft Signature program, but they need to expand it much more, and quickly

All those riots in Europe (now London but remember Paris), seems to me to be rooted in boredom, some lack of attention disorder or punks trying to prove themselves to be badasses more than anything else...

I mean they think they have problems? yeah right!

Just get them all, take'em to Somalia and make them fight to protect the food supply lines so the UN can feed the starving people overthere, then they can say they know is like to have "problems".

@Sven Groot: LOL totally unintented!

Wow guy lot of great suggestions!

Thanx for the quick replies!

But I just realised I made a mistake.  Is not San Diego, is San Francisco!

HI 9ers

In a couple of months I'll be traveling to California, mainly Los Angeles and San Diego, (maybe even Vegas).  Any suggestions for places to spot? Roadtripping route?

Thanx

Not at all, In a shopping mall close to my home they employ disabled people as security guards.
