Feedback

Hi Guys... I've been listening for a few shows now. I write alot of the
fake commercials Casey runs on SciFi Surplus.

In your last show, you commented on Netbooks and their return rates. I've
been looking at Netbooks for a while now, and what I keep coming back to is
that it seems the ones with better specs come with XP by default. So, when
we think about return rates, I'm wondering how many people are buying
Netbooks with a Microsoft OS, nuking it, and installing Ubuntu or something
like that?

The reason I don't already have a Netbook is because the price gap between
a mid-level Netbook and a low end laptop isn't much at all, and I can't
decide which would be the better purchase. I wonder if you or your
listeners have had any experiences with Netbooks that really makes them
stand out versus a cheap laptop?

Keep up the good work guys!

-Bob

Still picking your podcasts right off the rack? Sure, that was fine back then, but now you're a professional, and it's time to get something better. For a podcast that fits, let Mike and Art tailor a tech show that fits into today's style, while still  giving you that contemporary business look that you need in the boardroom.

Art, where can they get that tailored custom podcast?

- Some questions from the last part of the show - Kindle DRM stuff. Can I use the files elsewhere? Can I put my own files on it? - Amazon maintains your library forever, and you can put PDFs on the kindle, with a little conversion. Maybe I can talk the company into buying me one so I don't have to print off all of those DPM manuals.

- My good friend Keith just bought a machine with 64 Bit Vista on it. I'm interested in hearing his experiences. Keith mentioned Start 64, a 64 bit web site as a great resource.

Following the Purse Strings - Who's paying for Twitter and why?

- Twitter receives $55 million Huh?
Mike is pretty sure that the thing that got blogs popular was the fact that everyone in silicon valley was out of work, and they had nothing better to do than write and read what others are writing. Is twitter going to get the same thing?

The post linked above goes on to say that Twitter's audience is what justifies the money, well how does that explain Yahoo?

Combatting Piracy - Valve gets it
Valve understands that to effectively combat piracy, you need to give people what they want at a fair price. They recently decreased L4D 75%, and they made 15% more than when the game launched. - http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090219/1124433835.shtml

Mike's Note
I'm sure that by now you've heard that Exchange server 2007 is only 64 bit. Of course you know that there's a 32bit version for evaluation, but it's not supported in production, but comes in pretty handy if you're extending the schema. What I wasn't aware of is that Exchange Server 2007 won't install on Windows Server 2008 unless you have the installation media with SP1 integrated.

You'll get an error that "Exchange 2007 cannot be used with the version of Windows operating system running on this computer".

Left 4 Dead is Live, but the Demo is Dead

Posted Tue, 11/18/2008 - 06:43 by Mike

Well, it looks like I was right about the demo, mine says “pre-load complete” now, and when I double click on it, I receive the message that “a locked copy for Left 4 Dead has already been installed on your computer. Purchase it now and start playing immediately”. Oh well.
