www.roombavac.com   Ok - it's not really about development but if you live in house without deep pile or shag carpeting, you owe it to yourself to take a look at this thing.   It's been around for a while but is getting more and more press. I bought one through Hammacher Schlemmer (who offers a lifetime guarantee) and have to say: what a great device.   Turn it on and let it run! Walks away from stairs and cleans fairly well. The dogs ignore it (which is a miracle if you know Muffy) and it hits those areas that you never even think about during cleaning.   If only it did stairs...

Ok - so it doesn't have a nice developer user interface but it's free and it works well. Try taking a look at the Inno Setup. Inno Setup

Now this will be cool to see. I saw some earlier work on the XML Voice stuff and if it does succeed in its promises, it will be truly awesome! Web voice technologies get W3C go-ahead - News - ZDNet

Finally - the MS Data team comes thru.   Check out their blog http://blogs.msdn.com/vsdata   Nice to see that Calvin is keeping busy with his monkeys...

Great article on the foibles of the integration of PDAs and Phones.   Myself, I just got my Ipaq 1940 set up with a wireless SDIO card and I love it! But then, I prefer email and hate talking on the phone. <bg>   http://www.code-magazine.com/Article.aspx?quickid=040013

Great site that shows links to some of the new work being done on User interface. Although the first post talks about Sun's Project Looking Glass (a linux based replacement), check out the right hand list that showcases some 3D user interfaces for Windows as well!
