Eric Stolz was almost Marty in Back to the Future?
The “Back to the Future” films have given us glimpses of times and places that could have been, from a comical 2015 populated with flying cars and hovering skateboards to an alternate 1955 where Michael J. Fox invented rock ‘n’ roll. But how might history have turned out if the first “Back to the Future” movie had starred Eric Stoltz, as its filmmakers originally planned? In this clip from the “Back to the Future” 25th Anniversary DVD collection, the director Robert Zemeckis, his co-screenwriter, Bob Gale, and executive producer Steven Spielberg discuss how they made the heavy if cinematically momentous decision to replace Mr. Stoltz with Mr. Fox, and show early footage that was shot with Mr. Stoltz in the role of Marty McFly.

Microsoft is building up some PR steam for the Windows Phone 7 launch. I have to admit the new phones are looking good. It will be interesting to see how big the hype will grow and how long it will last.
Another iPhone 4 defect, because I bought a nice case? Good thing Apple sent me that cheap piece of plastic called a bumper case.
Ryan Block of Gdgt reports some third party iPhone 4 cases can lead to the glass back of the phone being cracked.How? If the iPhone 4 is slipped into a case small bits can get caught between the case and the phone. These "particulate matter" can cause small scratches which can eventually become big cracks, says Block.
What the real Mark Zuckerberg sounds like
If you watched the Facebook movie over the week and came away thinking that Mark Zuckerberg is a heartless badass robot then you should listen to this short phone interview with Robert Scoble about the new features Facebook released today.
He is usually not good in interviews but he sounds pretty comfortable here. He almost sounds like a guy that you could have a fun conversation in a bar with as long as you're talking about technology. Hey, when I'm in a bar that's the only thing I like to talk about, just ask the wife.
He's also not too bad in today's press conference talking about the new features.
He still may be a badass when it comes to business and technology and maybe he used to be a little heartless as a college freshman but we can at least be sure he isn't a robot.

Getting a 404 Error with an ASP.NET MVC 2 App on Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7.5?

When multiple versions of the .NET Framework are executing side-by-side on a single computer, the ASP.NET ISAPI version mapped to an ASP.NET application determines which version of the common language runtime (CLR) is used for the application. The ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool (Aspnet_regiis.exe) allows an administrator or installation program to easily update the script maps for an ASP.NET application to point to the ASP.NET ISAPI version that is associated with the tool. The tool can also be used to display the status of all installed versions of ASP. NET, register the ASP.NET version that is coupled with the tool, create client-script directories, and perform other configuration operations.
