I just found this interesting project on Scott Hanselman blog. This is really a beast. The idea is to read books with a CueCat barcode reader, then after some decoding, building a web services to call Amazon and then integrate the results in Windows Live Writer! Pheeew!

Well if 'VIP' like Scott Hanselman have issues on the reliability of the latest Vista RC1, that doesn't sound very good at all.

It's always fascinating to see how an engineer team can start a whole new product range. I like to know more about the iPod infancy, but you can already see by yourself that a box Lego bricks are now part of the Zune project history. I wonder if the Xbox has started like this too? Something unfortunately we can't do with software!

This is a really cool project! A whole lot of free books magazines, tutorilas, etc... on almost every languages you can think of.

Over the internet, one can easily find a lot of references for uploading images to a database. The major problem arises when one has to retrieve these images and display them in some server control, like the GridView control.

This article describes an easy approach to extending an existing ASP.NET control; in this example, the standard toolkit’s ImageButton control is extended to support roll-over effects. Given that the standard control already contains support for both server-side click events and client click events, the control is well furbished prior to the addition of the roll-over effect.

I followed Maryam Scoble advice and I checked (I swear I didn't cheated). I even answered I use Windows !

I can't find the link anymore, but some time ago, I remember this fun parody of Microsoft creating a package for an iPod with all the jokes about the box finishing covered with dozens of warning and stickers everywhere.
