Notes

Some of the notes I took at the TechNetEvent I am trying out today http://labs.live.com/photosynth/ is a neat website that you upload your picture to, it finds the other pictures that match that one and locates it geographically. But alas my old G400 Graphics card isn't good enough and it only generates an email to MS telling them what I tried to run it on, says:
