Semi-related note- among my dad's five guitars, there is a 1956 Gibson J-45 Sunburst acoustic. When he passed away, he stipulated that his wife would put the guitar names in a hat and all five of us kids would get to pick from the hat. This event has not yet occurred. But I hope I'm the one that draws the Gibson. I fear that my brother and sisters would immediately sell it - it's worth at least $5k.

What a great thing to put in a will.

Bookends showing Pete using the Force. Too bad my 3D printer is too small to make them large enough.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Ok, then how about this?[^]

I'm sure Pete will be much happier with this one, it shows his concern for hygiene

Then that's settled. Use the soap, Luke!
This one[^] I would like to have, but I would need a industrial printer for it.

Hmmm,
That's not a bookend. That's Pete writing his latest article on the Surface Pro. If you look closely at his hands you can see him making the MVVM sign. He's probably saying "Use the MVVM"

If I see the scale correctly, that must be some 100 inch tablet.

Nope,
Our Pete is 3 inches.

So that's why he always complains about being stepped on. Tell him he looks taller in the movies.

Is anyone watching the MSbuild with the paired programming example where the two devs are looking at the code remotely and editing it with each other and running?
Does anyone want to do that? More than once in a lifetime, maybe? \
dev answer: NO!!!

I have not tried it. But I have seen it work quite fine when the two devs are equally strong, and are generally in synch.
But two random devs paired? I have my doubts.

Uh...when have two devs ever been generally in synch? 
I'm kidding, but I'm really, really serious.
Code is often very opinionated. And opinionated code can be very good. If the dev is good.
And there are many different ways to do the same thing which are neither better nor worse.
What I think it would lead to -- as I've seen -- is one dev basically saying, "ok we do it this way"
and the other dev just nodding and going along.*
EDIT*
And I'm not opposed to using this for code review, code explanation, etc.
And I'm not against it as a design review, etc.
I'm just saying, live coding/typing, no thanks.

It can happen. These two were, and I would not call it super-exceptional. And they were no just in synch, they were really good. That was a tad exceptional, purrhaps.
Have you seen a lot different teams, and team sizes?

I'm assuming you mean the PHILOSOPHY (doesn't work) and
not the TECHNOLOGY.
Although the tech might not either.

Sometimes both!
It always ends up with an argument and people who'll never speak to each other again. Always. Every time.

Sounds more like Impaired-Programming to me

If this was the demo where one dev pretended to ask for help from his manager then I thought it could be useful on large teams/projects. It wasn't pair programming, but a way to get assistance without sharing a desktop
(BTW, true pair programming is a horror.)

This one (example) was collaborative (another bingo buzzword) where two devs worked together (aka paired programming).
I'm being a bit jaded about it all because I can see how this could be neat with an experienced dev lending a hand, etc. but it just seems like these dog and pony shows try to push that old "paired-programming" paradigm a lot. Which never seemed to work out like someone hoped it might (Beck).
Again, I'm being jaded because I think if my best friend who I've known since elementary school new how to program we could actually do paired programming and do some cool stuff. But for the 99.9% of devs out there it seems more like this would be used in a PHB (http://dilbert.com/strip/1995-05-29^) fashion.
EDIT
Oh this one is even better:

His was parsing everything into a string and yes that is faster than DOM parsing. In that case he would've been the Master-Pair-Programmer had I ever had to be paired with him.
