XBOX 360 being held back at local Wal-Mart

I now have an xbox 360 (core system) which I purchased today in Lewistown, PA . When I bought it, there were 2 other ones behind the counter. After a manager discovered this, they told the clerks that they were not supposed to be selling those. The clerk responded with "Why not, there is a whole stack in the back?", the manager then said they weren't supposed to sell them until January - something about them being dated for sale then. The other two units they had were then taken away by the manager.

Why? Is this coming from Microsoft or the local Walmart? Anyone else come across units being held back at local retailers?

Thanks,
Ray

Correction for the show: Hollye humbly admits that she mistakenly corrected Ray during the show, advising him that he should use the term “unsecure” and not “insecure” when referring to network security. However, “unsecure” is not a word. She offers her sincere apologies. Grammar is one of Hollye’s strengths, and one of Ray’s weaknesses. Thus, Ray quickly accepted Hollye’s grammar corrections.

Video for your iPod

Here it is - Video for your iPod!
The video formatted for your ipod has been done for days, but I finally got around to uploading it to the server.

Let me know what you think! This version has better audio and effects but the overall quality of the video is worse (IMO).

A new show will hopefully be recorded tomorrow, not sure when it will make it up, there may be back to back releases of shows this weekend.

Thanks,
Ray

VidCast

We will have a slight delay on the next show.

However, here is the first video of the show(in wmv)! A video ipod version will be available some time tomorrow evening, along with some additional content recorded at the end of the show, that is only available via video.

I edited the video using windows movie maker for the .wmv file and iMovie for the .mp4 file. I will discuss the various experiences of these two methods on the next show.

First Video

T-Shirts etc.

We want to make Tech Teacher t-shirts (mouse pads, coffee cups, etc.) through cafepress.com . Due to both of our lack of artistic talent we would greatly appreciate any listener submitted designs. If we use your design we will come up with some sort of prize and give you a free shirt with your design on it. Email ideas/designs to rayandhollye@gmail.com.

Thanks,
Ray

Video

I cleaned up the comments and turned on the word filter, so there should be less 'spam' on here from now on - sorry for the inconvenience.

I am going to work on the video tonight. Depending on how well it goes, it might be ready as early as tomorrow, or as late as next weekend. We have already had several requests for exactly when the video will be out, so there is some demand.

Thanks,

Ray

If accepted it will be as easy as clicking on one button to subscribe to our podcast. For now just go under the advanced menu and click subscribe to podcast, then copy and paste in http://feeds.feedburner.com/thetechteachers .

Thanks,

RSS FEED

If you have a podcast client you can point it to the following:

If you don't have podcast software I recommend doppler (a free windows program) or ipodderx for the Mac.

The old feed at rahs is no longer valid, thank you.

Show 2

Show #2 is much longer, a little too long actually. It has both of us and covers the PSP, the ipod Shuffle, gps, and several education topics among other things.

The next show will be shorter and we will add in some sound effects and transitions. Topics to look foward to include everything Google related and the use of smartboards in the classroom.
