RichCopy is always one of the first tools I install on any of my machines. It's an amazingly powerful tool. About the only thing missing with RichCopy is integration with Explorer Shell.


Perhaps I am reading too much into it but why did they not mention that they took down the previous blog post (http://www.thiswebhost.com/blog/2011/08/16/the-reddit-incide...)? They mention that they took down the tweets but why no mention of the blog posts?


According to this report: http://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-was-interested-in-m..., Microsoft was not interested in buying Motorola. Instead, they were (supposedly) close to settling their patent dispute with Motorola, and signing a cross-licensing deal giving them access to Motorola's patents.


If Microsoft was settling their patent dispute with Motorola and looking at a cross-licensing agreement, that is all the more reason for Google to buy them. Either Google gets a cross-licensing deal and gets the protection they want for the Android ecosystem (at least from Microsoft) or Google winds up with a patent portfolio that Microsoft has already decided is dangerous.


IIRC the new version of Chrome Frame does not require Admin access any more. I think it runs a secondary process that injects Chrome Frame into any new instances of IE starting up.


Amazingly, it goes one further — reloading any pages that were already open before the Chrome Frame installer ran is sufficient to get the CF goodness on those pages!


I don't think you need to be in the US to develop for WP7. It does support other countries. Look at Yalla Apps (http://www.yallaapps.com/) if you are in a country that is not supported.


In addition to what polyfractal mentioned, I would also look at these:

- Adobe Reader

- Netflix

- GoVoice (Google Voice client)

- Speed Searcher

- ShopSavvy

- Tasks (by Telerik)

- Shazam (Once Mango is out, this won't be necessary)

- Project Emporia

- LiveStrong's Calorie Tracker (Normally $2.99 but free until end of August)

Games - AlphaJax, Wordament, Orb, Unity


Would Mono [Touch/Droid] be of any help in this scenario?

I believe Parent is making fun of the overreaction to the Silverlight and Windows 8 news.


That overreaction was one of the funniest things I've read online in some time.


> You can find fixes of open-source projects as soon as they are committed.

That might be relevant if it wasn't for the fact that Silverlight is not open source. They are under no obligation to show/blog their fix until they actually release. In fact, they would probably want to withhold it as long as possible if their intent is to damage WebGL.
