Software Taxes

Click to Play

http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - If you didn't already know, I currently live in Seattle. There's a bill that's currently in the Washington State Legislature that, if passed, will levy a tax on all software customizations done by businesses (at least, for now, those businesses residing in the state of Washington). You may not think this impacts you directly, but if other states (or governments in other countries) see it as a viable option, they may consider doing the same thing where you live. I spoke with Ken Myer, President and CEO of the WTIA, to find out more about this bill - and why it's probably not the smartest thing for small businesses here. http://chris.pirillo.com

I did so, but hadn't really had a chance to use it until I was talking to the people who created the app. If you're a busy person who has things to do, Siri may well be the answer you've been looking for. You ask - and Siri will DO. Forget clicking a hundred links in your browser to accomplish something. Speak or type your request to Siri, and the app acts on your behalf, utilizing the best services on the web. http://chris.pirillo.com

http://go.tagjag.com/screencast - http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - How often have you heard a new song and liked it, only to not find out the name of it at the end? It can drive you crazy trying to Google pieces of the lyrics, attempting to figure out who sings it, and what it's called. You can't buy the song for yourself if you don't know the name of it. That's where Midomi comes in. With Midomi, you can use your own voice to hum or sing lyrics to any song, and the service will find it for you. Once you've found it, you can watch the video for that particular piece of music, or even record a version of your own to share with the world.

Post a comment and/or video response. I was invited to a behind the scenes look at elements of the Windows Phone 7 Series developer platform. At Mobile World Congress (covered earlier in this channel), Microsoft provided a first look at Windows Phone 7 Series - and Im pleased to offer you the opportunity to see a live demonstration up close. Yes, I got to play with the phone, too. It works as advertised - even as a prototype. Unfortunately, we could not adjust the brightness settings in this particular device. The "Metro" interface is a bucket of win in my book. Charlie Kindel partner group program manager, Windows Phone App Platform & Developer Experience was hosting an intimate reception this evening in San Francisco. I wasn't able to make it, but Microsoft arranged a somewhat more private meeting with Greg Sullivan from the Windows Phone team a little closer to home. I met Greg a few years ago through the Longhorn Labs project (back when Microsoft Windows team leads worked actively with their most vocal community supporters).
