And the movie I couldn't think of during the press play segment was The Running Man

Put a wig and a hat on Mark...Rickie Fowler

Pretty much how my create-a-golfer looks like in PGA Tour 2015 :P 

After these past two episodes I hope they let me back on the show!

My shortcut: Win+. use it first and then try and figure out what it does :)  (You may need multiple monitors).

@RaringCoder: Thanks! I forgot where it came from, I should have assumed it was an xkcd :)  And Real Steel is a lot closer to our https://boxingbots.codeplex.com/ .  My imagination had me thinking more of a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_Jox :D

I shouldn't have returned from my vacation and Ping show hiatus it seems. The shows have stopped coming since my post :S .

My PC was downloading the latest build of Windows at the time of that post and I must say I love the new wallpaper and that's what I'm using now.

We failed to mention that the following week was July 4 - a US holiday, and we didn't record a show due to a reduced availability in the studio.  Back soon! :)

The show still starts with obscene intro music. How can I opt out?

Hey Arne, you can click the timecodes in the description to jump to the sections of content.

Oh and speaking of cars, we called out Project Detroit during the show, our connected car project.

You said he had "30 odd designers," wouldn't they be better off hiring normal designers?

I'm not sure those exist... :P

I played *a lot* of Risk growing up.  Usually played six-person games, often in two teams of three.  One of my favorite strategies was to go for Africa first.  Reasonably small to get the continent bonus, two main avenues to defend that both allowed for good expansion as well.

Where's the love for the PC gamer? We're part of the Microsoft ecosystem too.

On PC, I'm still playing a lot of Dota 2, Hearthstone, and some Civilization: Beyond Earth.  But the cheevos aren't the same :)

The link to the misleading apps story is wrong. It points to windowsw.com in stead to windows.com.

Fixed, thanks for pointing out!

I don't get it - I did a 'World Cup Predictions Group A' bing search - and it showed

Croatia vs Mexico

Croatia wins (41.5% chance)

If Croatia only has a 41.5% chance of winning - shouldn't the prediction be that Mexico wins?  What am I missing here?

Don't forget draws.  It does a poor job of displaying it, but it can be 41.5% Croatia, 40.0% Mexico, 18.5% draw
