Via Smartphone thoughts

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmob...es/default.mspx

I was poking around the Windows Mobile website and found this little teaser:

"Get Ready for Moblogs - Turn an ordinary blog into a moblog by including pictures from your Pocket PC or Smartphone. Check back here in December to learn how to create yours."

For those unfamiliar with moblogs, here is an excerpt from an article at Editor & Publisher that explains the concept pretty well: "A moblog is typically a photo blog where an individual or group of people post images taken with photo phones, plus accompanying text (or even audio). The moblog concept has caught on in a big way since first introduced in 2002. Many individuals maintain moblogs, and new moblogging services like TextAmerica.com make it super easy to have a moblog; to publish an image, you simply use your photo phone to e-mail it to TextAmerica.com ."

I have no idea what this teaser on the Microsoft website means, but definitely look forward to finding out. Will they be releasing an app to make mobloging from Windows Mobile devices easier? Could they be starting a moblog hosting service? Or maybe it's just a step-by-step tutorial on how to moblog from Smartphone and Pocket PC devices... Let the speculation begin! What do you think they are going to announce?

According to sources briefed by the company, the "Symphony," or Media Center 2005, release is expected to enter beta testing in the first quarter of next year. ("Harmony" was the code name for Windows Media Center 2004, which Microsoft unveiled in late September.) Based on past shipping history, Microsoft will likely release the 2005 version at the end of calendar 2004.

Seems to be a free nice control to keep the Datagrid position.

Apparently you can request the source. Check also the demo page

Scott I intended to comment directly on your post  but the Submit button didn't work. Strange.

Anyway this is my two cents on accessibility validation:

Well easy show him this picture, ask him to count the people before and after the shift,and yes I know it's very irritating.

Believe me you will spend all the day scratching your head on the solution or turn mad (yourself and your colleagues too)

Last week I explored, via a post from Julia, a tool which provide an innovative way to navigate through hierarchical menus without using a dropdown menu, nor a tree view, but a pie menu.

I did some search, and I found a complete page on Pie menus written by Don Hopkins, who developed pie menus since 15 years.
