Live mail: No skyscraper Ad

[source]

Awesome, this will so much increase the user experience! Personally, those skyscraper ads are annoying and wasting much screen estate. Now, let's wait for the annoying animated ads to go off ;-)

V

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

"V for Vendetta" may raise many questions about the underlying motive [vendetta, terrorism], but cinematically Wachowski brothers win again. Stunning screenplay and vivace dialogues...say no more and see it on screen!

To quote more...

Evey: Who--who are you?
V:Who? Who is but the form following the function of what... and what I am is a man in a mask.
Evey: I can see that.
V:Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation, I'm merely remarking on the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.

Finch: Who is he?
Evey: He was Edmond Dantés. And he was my father, and my mother. My brother, and my friend. He was you...and me. He was all of us

Ready for 320x240?

The numbers of Windows Mobile devices are increasing day by day and more important they are coming in different form factors. The increase in number is good news but the different form factors is the one that worries me. Since I'm one of the mobile developers, we need to make sure our application is fit and fine in all form factors. Many form factors and much more work for us to test and make sure our application is fit and fine. The new Windows Mobile 5.0 Smart Phone devices Motorola Q and Samsung i320 will have 320x240 screens. Luckily the Mobile and Embedded Devices [MED] group released a emulator for this so that we can make our application fit and fine...the blurb from MED

Are you ready for 320x240 screens?
The next exciting class of Windows Mobile 5.0 powered Smartphones are on their way! The upcoming Motorola Q and the Samsung i320 will be powered by Windows Mobile 5.0 software for Smartphone, and both will have landscape (320x240) screens. Are your apps ready for this new screen resolution? To update and test your application, install this emulator pack onto your installation of Visual Studio 2005 and the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for Smartphone.
