Printable Agenda MSDN Dev Con, Orlando, Dec 11

I wanted a printable version of the agenda, but the website didn’t provide one and pasting into Word '07 didn’t work so I pasted it into Excel, massaged it, copied to Google Docs and published a copy.

Google Doc

The agenda is designed to be printed in color.

iPhone Initial Review

Awesome with room for improvement.

3rd Party Apps sometimes won't start up though and need to get
reinstalled.

Gps has a million uses.

Can't find built in image rotating function.

Battery life is weak, only one business day of active usage.

Fairly reliable, far surprerior to any ofher device I used.

Entertainment PC

So I bought a new HP "Entertainment PC" for which I purchased a new 42 Philips LCD and upgraded to a HD DVR Cable box. And man what a mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got started by plugging in my PC to the TV via the HDMI connection, awesome... they finally did... one cable I'm thinking. Of course no audio I notice right of the bat, but that's not my first priority, media center and the remote are.

I fired Media Center up, try to configure the TV and get an error message "IR Hardware Not Detected" or something like that. It looks like a harware problem to me... the program responds to quickly for it to be the repeater plus I think the IR out is an IR OUT! (Every HP tech keeps asking about the stupid repeater)

I'll continue later... preview: 6 Hrs with HP between phone and chatting... Philips support call... Brighthouse support call... replacement PC... and still not working.
