The XBOX commercial that never was!

Here is one to make your day. I ran into this over the weekend. Supposedly it's an ad that Microsoft commisioned but now won't air because of their lawyers.

Download Pick of the week: VJFullscreenTSC

OK,

So here is how the story goes, I get a new $450 Sprint PPC-6700 PCS phone which is an update from my G1000 and PPC-6600, only to find that Windows Mobile 5 is on the thing and since the screen is a bit smaller, MS in their infinite wisdom eliminated the Speed Dial Button from the phone keypad. Instead you have to get to the phone keypad, click on menu and then click on speed dial option. I started to get seriously peeved! How the heck is that speed dial? It's not. This really po'd me to no end. So I set off on a mission to find a solution which I am sure someone already had come up with. Google did not fail me.
I found a thread on a forum with a guy with the same question and there was a great solution!
It is a simple solution... download a cab file, run it and you will have a program to open the speed dial that you can then use the button control panel and assign it to the Key of your choice. I assigned mine to the E Internet explorer key on the side of the phone. I now have 1 button access to my speed dials! Genius, two snaps!

The cab also has options for Speakerphone, call history and Pop email..so you could assign a key on the phone to any of these...

Should work on any device running Windows Mobile.

Anyways browsing Vijay's site I got even more excited when I found out he was working on an enhancement to Terminal Services on Windows Mobile to make it more Full Screen. Here is the link for that... Super Kudu's dude!

http://portal.loginconsultants.nl/forum/attachments/FPKv5.0.zip

FPK 5.0 is released:- Support for Windows MUI. The multilanguage user interface within Windows is now supported. - Variable support for StoreRoot & StoreFolder. You can specify path variables in the framework.ini configuration file. - Redundant OPS file removal. When an OPS (profile settings) file is not used anymore, it will automatically be removed. - OPS file backup is now optional. The backup of the OPS file can now be disabled within the Framework.ini - Improved FlexRefresh. No more annoying FlexRefresh messages during logon, no more IconSize bug, and FlexRefresh will now also update cursor settings. - More Flexible Configuration. It is now possible to specify the full path to the other Framework.ini as a third command line option. This allows the possibility of having multiple configurations. - 2x Faster Logon. Although there have not been too many complaints :-), a bug in the logon process caused it to load the all the OPS files twice (oops!). This has now been fixed, reducing the logon time by 50%! - A GUI!!! The Flex Framework can now be configured with the FlexConfig.exe tool written by Magnar Johnsen!

This Guy did not know what hit him! See the video at:

http://kdka.com/video/?id=11977@kdka.dayport.com

The guy was just sentenced yesterday and has to spend the weekend of the superbowl in Jail and can't watch it, has to do several hours of community service to a browns charity and can't go to a game for 5 years. (Maybe the Browns might have a winning team by then but I doubt it : )

It's goofballs like this that are the reason I stay far away from Browns Stadium!
