If we can find a .NET component that implements the IOuijaBoard interface then we'll add it to the system.

Sounds like something to bring you in the focus of the secret service these days.

Actually, the Ouija board is a new piece of hardware. It's based on one of the new chipsets out of a secret collaboration between rogue elements inside AMD and Intel. The AMD guys are implementing the left hand on the pointer, and the Intel guys are implementing the right hand. They just can't agree on the shape and color of the pointer at the moment, but I hear it's supposed to meet an IEEE standard for precognitive human-interaction devices.

You could always use P/InvokeSpirits.

Yes, that is so true! I used to google to find answers to programming problems, but now Code Project is my first stop in the solution hunt.

Which I think should be a separate category from "Online News Sites", since it aggregates many different sites vs. going to a specific news site.

Do you get good IT news from Google News? All I ever see there are mergers, acquisitions, privacy scares and big business news. Nothing really techy or useful.

It depends on what a person views as IT news. Another thread is commenting on how magazines are usually outdated, but still good for articles. These would be "techy or useful" to me. IT news which is too volatile for magazines would be found at your nearest RSS teat. It's all a form of news.

You get all types of news online. Magazines are out of date 5 minutes after being printed and then they can't change.

I have some custom news categories for things I like to keep tabs on, like XAML.

Mainly, the news comes from Blogs via RSS feeds. Although I still pick up a lot of interesting bits from various message-boards.
