Loved the show this week Major and e. Ridley is definitely a bad ass, but you got to show Philip K. Dick some love, he was a bad ass too. Also last night I played some of Eternal Sonata, I'd love to hear an interview with someone from that team. thanks again

The silence is entirely too long...I could understand 15 or even 30 seconds, but this is a couple of minutes long. I was listening to the podcast while driving down unfamiliar roads in Sleepy Hollow (yes, _that_ Sleepy Hollow) and couldn't take my eyes off the road to skip my iPod ahead....

Thanks for the feedback. ColPow: What are you looking for in show notes? How detailed?

@Frisky Dog - the silence is part of the show. It is there to differenciate between the 'offical' part of the unoffical podcast and the 'unofficial' part of the unoffical podcast.

As for the time spent chatting - this is the style that the throngs of young'uns want. A little slice of MajorGlamour.

If anything, I'd really appreciate more full shownotes. Rather than just links to 'web, some indication of topics/issues/questions covered could eliminate the frustration Frisky Dog et. al have.

I really wish you wouldn't have all that dead time between the show and your aftershow. why is it necessary? Are you trying to hide it? We have to skip around to find it.

Also major I really like you're show, but since you guys do a lot of chit chat during the show, which is fine, but sometimes the show is so long that I would like to hear important announcements and other important things at the beginning of the show. Seems like when I can't listen to the whole show I always miss something, like a question someone asked you that you answered on the show, and I don't find out about it for a while.

Just a suggestion.

But I would like to know if you aren't going to eliminate the dead space at the end of your show why that is.

Great job getting Ridley on the show there. Man is a genius.

Any hints as to what you requested for the update? it's pretty messed up to just stop down on the feed and come back to hear e saying "We need that" WHAT DO WE NEED? C'mon! Give us a little hint here Larry! Anything? Just a taste? Like one of those sample spoons they give out at Baskin Robbins? So frustrating.... Oh well i hope it gets put in the update, and that it kicks total buttocks, cause otherwise I'll blame you for why babies cry at night.

Good show. Loved hearing from Ridley Scott. You mentioned, or should I say *didn't* mention the next dashboard update. When should we expect the see the next update and possible updates?

Awesome. Thanks. I guess I never tried and probably didn't notice it on the screen right in front of me. Thanks again.

You can actually use the right and left triggers as page up and page down.

Great show (again), Major and E. While you were beeping out your suggested feature, it made my think of a couple of features that I am not sure why I didn't suggest them when you put the call out a few months ago. I am sure someone else has probably mentioned them, but I wanted to put them out there just in case. I am a long time Tivo user, as well and there are two features that I think would greatly improve the ease of use of the dashboard. Those features are: 1. Page up and Page down. 2. Key word search Whenever I am scrolling through a long list in the dashboard (usually in Marketplace), I wish I had my Tivo page up and page down. The triggers could probably be used to accomplish this. A key word search/favorite key words would also be fantastic. It would be great if I could create multiple key word searches that would find any marketplace content with the keyword. For instance, if I created a Halo keyword search, it would have all of the Halo 3 videos, themes, and pictures easily accessible through my keyword. I could then save those keywords and check back for new content. You could do the same with words found in movie titles, shows, descriptions and even actors. Just a couple of suggestions. Please keep up the great work.

> "My servers are Major Nelson Web and Major Nelson Data." Oops. I guess you didn't totally escape the Star Trek characters. :P

The servers that make up Majornelson.com aren't run by my team or anyone else at Microsoft. As this is Major's unofficial blog, he has them hosted by CentraComm.

"Most people used to always name their servers after characters from Lord of the Rings and Star Trek." Wait? No Star Wars? "We have a policy against that. Our server names have to actually make sense." "My servers are Major Nelson Web and Major Nelson Data." Oops. I guess you didn't totally escape the Star Trek characters. :P
