Having DVD Region Playback Problems in Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)?
Posted: February 23, 2011 in UncategorizedAfter installing Windows 7 SP1 and attempting to play a DVD in Windows Media Center, I received an error that the disc was not formatted for my current region. This obviously wasn’t true, since I was playing a Region 1 disc (United States) and before my upgrade, all discs played fine. So, here’s how I fixed it:
- Close Windows Media Center
- Attempt to play the disc with another DVD playback app, such as Cyberlink PowerDVD
- Close the other playback app, which should play the disc successfully.
- Relaunch Windows Media Center.
- Done!
Please let me know if this works for you 
Best,

Starbucks WiFi Auto Login for WP7 & Android

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab. I love it. Unfortunately, Android falls way short when it comes to figuring out whether to connect through 3G or WiFi. Basically, if you’re connected to a WiFi hot spot that requires a login, Android will happily keep letting its site and service requests fail until you actually go through the process of logging in. This is especially true at Starbucks, where you have to login before connecting to the Internet. Actually, this is true of many “smart” devices.
Well, I got tired of this and just wrote an app to get around it. Enter Starbucks Wi-Fi Auto Login for both Android and Windows Phone 7. Tap and connect, it’s that simple. Search for it in the respective markets. If you have a QRCode scanner, simply scan the appropriate link below.

The team did a great job with the design and development of DuoChart, a bilingual medical translation app for iPhone and Android. Read all about it on Inside Indiana Business! w00t!
It was an honor working with Michael, Josh, Tom, Scott, Keyko, Mark, Takaku-san and Tak-san once again. We had a great time, learned a lot, and geeked out. What more could you want?
Want to see some of the cool tech that was shown at CEATEC, Japan’s largest technology trade show? Here are photos from Day 2. I have a lot of photos from Day 1 and I’m still captioning and categorizing them, so sorry about the out of order upload 
BTW, if you’re not using Windows Live Photo Gallery or Microsoft ICE to create panoramas on the fly (both are free), you’re really missing out.
