Remote control cars are cool, but I want to see what the car is seeing, as if I was in the drivers seat. And I want it to be an uber-off-road capable car. And I want to build it myself. And I want to be able to control it from any Wi-Fi capable device. And I want to run C# on it... I guess what I… -

CodePlex is one of the more (most?) common place you'll find hosting Windows Phone 7 projects. It's a a prefect match for many developers, given that it's free, can host source, binaries, docs, work items and discussions and plugs directly into Visual Studio. That said, everyone is different and… -

What if you needed to look at your code at a high level? To try to get a feel for what's there? What if you could take a "word/tag cloud" and apply it to your code? Say maybe Kinect SDK samples? Or maybe you'd like to see some text as a cloud? Like the Kinect SDK Readme's? And what if… -
