The NFL online thing is great, although expensive, if you live outside the USA... except if you live in the UK, where because Sky have the broadcast rights, you can't watch the two live games they show on a sunday online (although you can watch them back later) or any of the playoffs.

It was such a cool event- the Windows Phone Team is a super fun group of people! Although I gotta say the Channel 9 team knows how to party

We will be releasing really soon an Augmented Reality Accelerator Kit for WP7 developers! You will be able to hold a cutout of a device in front of your webcam and feed accelerometer data to the WP7 emulator! Credits go to Nikos Kastellanos

What happened to my previous post?

I posted a comment via the ch9 preview site, but it doesn't seem to show here, very strange!

I must be really tired, I laughed multiple times.

Can't say I saw the WoW visual image search coming. Humorous, but odly enough I could see this being fairly useful..
