“Is WCF the Death of .NET?” and other links…
James C. Bender: “While I’m not prepared to follow Juval in claiming .NET dead at the hands of WCF, he makes some good points.

“iPhone-like Kinetic Scrolling Lists in WPF”
Kevin Marshall: “This is a great feature since scrollbars are often cumbersome on touch-screens. While they work great for mice, it’s difficult to make scrollbars big enough to respond to a finger press without taking up too much space. Plus with the physics of the kinetic scrolling, you don’t have to keep pawing at the screen to scroll through long lists.” Mice are not “great” for kinetic scrolling!
