WTF is Helpouts and who cares.

Well, Helpouts were going to be rolled out to a wide CP audience. Unfortunately, the geographical restrictions in place have meant this idea has met a slow and painful demise.

..because the 1-year old video tutorial service isn't growing as fast as the company wants. But of course...It was opened to the US only...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

The smoke surrounding rumors of an Apple-branded vehicle has begun to thicken, as a new report says that Apple is indeed working on an all-electric vehicle that would take the shape of a minivan, with a huge team tasked to the project. Unfortunately, you steer it using iTunes

Quote: Created by the team that brought the HDMI technology to our TV’s, Wireless HD (60 GHz) is an impressive feature of the V². Anything on the screen of the V² can be projected to a TV monitor with a USB or HDMI port using an WiHD dongle from up to 40 feet away. Play games, make presentations, watch movies, show photos, content or surf the web on big screens with no software required.

It comes rooted and has multi-boot capability.
I want one. **droool**

um, no. "show photos, content, ..." as in "show photos" "show content"...

You'd think so, but then show would also apply to "surf the web" which makes no sense.
Should be "show photos and other content," .

Helpouts started as a great way to use Hangouts to share expertise, but the service wasn't very popular and Google will soon shut it down. Good thing I didn't add it to the newsletter again

Didn't CodeProject start using this like a month ago?

Yup. Maybe two (yeah, looks like December).

I've never really dissed Microsoft. It guarantees me a paycheck, with or without the frustrations 
Before I really got into the work force, I remember reading about how MS works so hard to keep support for old applications, even to the point of reproducing bugs from old operating systems, just so things stayed backwards compatible. The example was a memory leak that was exploited by Sid Meyer in one of the old sim city games... so they actually programmed that if sim city was run... to have the bug!
I had a lot of respect for that, and also have realized why it is sooo dang difficult to guarantee backwards compatibility. You never know what the other guys are doing!

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
