No no. The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Rio.

Are those W7 signed copies "hand" signed or "printed-reproduction" signed?

BTW, I love bacon!

Oh boy... I had hopes too.

Anyway, that was a very, very cool idea to have us searching through the videos. I’ve found a lot of good information that I would be missing otherwise! Especially the WoW addon for Visual Studio. I'm going to grab that ASAP!

I know that one! The idea is quite cool.

But just like Paul, I'm not a believer... yet.

I don't like that COFEE thing, how do I protect myself from that? I don't trust the police, they're incompetent and I am very confident, it would be abused.

Mark - 4:45sec into the video and an Iphone goes off, that is funny! Well funny to me. You should make all members that are on PING (or Channel 9) use the Bing Ring Tones.
