**Dad's Surface Experience**
I recently shared my experience of handing over a new Surface tablet to my dad during a video call. While I won't be giving him the device, I'm excited to record his reaction on camera. As a Windows 8 user, he'll have a unique perspective on using a touchscreen device. The idea is to capture his genuine thoughts and feelings about using Windows 8 on a Surface tablet.
**Avoiding Remote Control Fights**
Who hasn't fought over the remote control with family members? It's a frustrating experience that can be avoided by recording your favorite shows or movies instead.

The Dish Network offers a solution with its Hopper, which allows you to record and watch content anywhere.

Unfortunately, I'm stuck with an iPad that has died on me. After trying to revive it, I realized it's time to consider a replacement.

In this case, I discovered a tip from Kip K about using cassette tape cases as smartphone stands for your desk or during Skype video calls.
**Skype Video Messages Launch**
Microsoft has announced the launch of Skype video messages on Macs, iPhones, and Android devices. This feature is designed to make it easier to send short video messages to friends and family.

Specifically, we're looking for recommendations suitable for use with Skype video calls.
**Tablet Camera Comparison**
Slappy 381 asked about the best front camera on a tablet for Skype video calls. While I don't think it matters too much, I can tell you that cameras like those on the Nexus 10 and Surface tablets can handle 720p video. However, my experience with these devices suggests that their cameras are not always the most impressive. The iPad camera, on the other hand, is quite sharp.
