Ping 72: Open Source love, Exchange Active Sync, Yahoo! by Bing, Silverlight

The Discussion

• 

  Who won the scrabbel game?

   

  @Paul: It's the Windows Phone MarketPlace

• 

  Paul chickened out. I would destroy him.

• 

  I don't think it did that kind of ads, you must the parental filter turned off Paul.

• 

  Don't listen to Laura's blasphemy.  I could beat her left-handed.

• 

  We demand a game of scrabble in the next show

• 

  O.K.  How does one obtain one of those little 9 guys?  Many years ago I obtained a SQL Server Girl from attending several online events.  Sadly I cannot find an image at the moment, but the design is simular to the 9 guy.

• 

  hotmail started in 95, who has the oldest hotmail address ? I still use mine and I made mine in 98, April.

• 

  Good question, Shahedk!  I will look into this... but I had received a memo that had this line in it...

  • "This is not just for fun, its serious business; students can not only deploy WP7 apps on Marketplace for free, but earn some extra cash off of it."

  ... perhaps some marketing person went overboard... stay tuned.

• 

  The tools for WP7 are free for all anyway so they wouldn't be covered by the Dreamspark licence I'd have though.

• 

  It's true:

   

  1. Students can build and deploy apps to Windows Phone Marketplace for free through DreamSpark (US and other selected areas)

• 

  Finally! Some SQL Server news!

  PASS is a great event. I will not be able to participate this year although i won a free ticket...

   

  Paul - throw us a bone here, which session were you talking about?

   

• 

  Apple stole the name of your show. You should sue!

• 

  Ha! Channel 9 Ping beats Apple Ping any day in my book. And why do they have it built into the iTunes application instead of a browser? Most people I know love iPods but hate the iTunes app. Besides, Zune has had something like this for a few years. I guess Apple wants to try to control your social network too

• 

  And Max thought Ping was a stupid name! hrmph~

• 

  Hey, Laura! Did you hear about the new social network that Apple announced? Not a very original name, huh?

   

  BTW, I love your show--the original Ping. I watch it on my Zune HD every week. Keep up the good work!

   

  Edit: I guess you already did. I just read the posts before mine. LOL
