Please don't make this a flame thread...I am just wondering what the Neowin picks are.

Incase the two poles are confusing,

First pole pick = "your team" i.e. if you live in Pittsburgh you will probable pick Pittsburgh

Second pole pick = the team you think most likely to win i.e. if you were betting money...so even a person living in Pittsburgh who chose Pittsburgh for pole #1 could choose another team for pole #2

I've always been a Broncos fan, but I didn't expect more than ten wins out of them this season. They've been a nonstop pleasant surprise for me since the second game of the season. I know Pitt is a tough game (especially after beating the Superbowl favorites on the road), but I'm still picking my Broncos to win.

Plus, I don't know if the game against Indy was the real deal or not; they're only 1-3 in their last four games. I don't mean to take anything from the Steelers (they've been playing some HOT football the last few weeks), but I'm not so sure Indy wasn't on a skid to start with.

Indy was on a skid because they weren't trying to win after the loss to SD. The loss to Seattle was meaningless for both teams and starters didn't play much.

ANYONE BUT CAROLINA! OOOO I HATE THOSE PANTHERS! :@

Oh wait, no, sorry, that's wrong, on second thought I DO want the Panthers to win :laugh:

Actually, here is how I look at it. I think Chicago was a more difficult opponent for us than Seattle will be. Does that mean I think the game will be easy? Not a chance, it's still going to be a very good game, but I honestly think Chicago was the hardest team we were going to face. That said, if I put us into the Superbowl, I think our opponent will be Pittsburgh, and I feel MUCH more hopeful with them than I did when I thought we might be playing Indianapolis. Honestly, I think we have a good chance, or at least a much better chance than we did in 2003. I can't wait :D

Carolina is a little inconsistent at times, but I think the playoffs are forcing them to stay focused. Assuming they are playing at 100%, I think they are the team to beat. So that said, I'm going for a Carolina vs Pittsburgh Super Bowl, and I think Carolina can win it. Carolina on both votes for me :)

Seattle all the way, my boy shaun alexander is going to run all over carolina!

Haha, that's one of the few things that I feel very confident WILL NOT happen. Good luck with it though. The last two teams we played (both strong running teams) didn't even get a total of 150 yards combined.

The thing is, most of the people voting in this poll are apparently picking the same team for both because they can't separate their rooting interest from their actual unbiased thoughts.

I guess if you don't have a team, you might just cheer for whoever you think will win. More likely is that people pick a team to root for, and then pick them to win.

Humm...your right for the most part atm it looks like of the 42 people who voted 37 of them picked the same team for both. It's just when I made the pole I was like I want Denver to win....but then was thinking carolina or seattle would take it...hehe in the end I did what every one else is, voted for the team I like to win. If I could vote again I would probable go with carolina or seattle, I still can't figure out which one though, I can't wait till this weekend.

    • Less disk space means less bandwidth demands which means lower operating costs for service providers... that's where money talks. ... cuz it's not about improving video quality!... that's just marketing spin.
    • And thereby lies the rub. AV1 support is not as wide as paid analysts would have the industry believe. With AV2 around the corner, it's going cause more time backlog in adoption (how many recent purchasers will upgrade yet-again within the next 6-12 months? most would rather stay pat for another 1+ years before even thinking about upgrading their setups).
    • Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much needed feature by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily expanding OneDrive’s file management capabilities over the years, including for shared content and shortcuts, although it has had its flaws, too. The cloud storage platform introduced support for folder shortcuts several years ago, allowing users to pin frequently accessed shared folders from OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Now, Microsoft is refining that experience further with a new way to organize those shortcuts as revealed in a recent Microsoft 365 roadmap addition. Previously, shortcuts added through the “Add shortcut to My files” option would appear alongside all other files and folders in the root of a user's OneDrive. And although it's meant to be useful, this approach could also create clutter along the way, especially for heavy users who may have to work with large numbers of shared folders across multiple projects and teams on their systems. This is where Microsoft’s latest feature comes in, as it is looking to address this inconvenience by giving users the option to place new shortcuts inside a dedicated “Shortcuts” folder instead. The feature is designed to keep shortcut links organized into a single location instead of scattering throughout the main OneDrive directory. Hence, the idea is to make navigation and usability easier and simpler. The first time a user chooses this option, OneDrive will automatically create the folder, and to help make it stand out from the other folders, the Shortcuts folder will have a distinct visual identity featuring a unique color and a building-style icon. That being said, the new Shortcuts will behave just like any other folder in OneDrive, and as such, users will be able to move it to a different location, rename it, share it with others, or remove it entirely if they prefer a different structure. You can view the entry on the Microsoft 365 roadmap website here. Currently, the feature is in the "in development" phase, but the tech giant expects the rollout to start next month (July 2026). Do keep in mind, though, that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
    • VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.123 alongside its annual developer conference, Build 2026. This release, as always, has a heavy focus on advanced AI agent integration and making the built-in browser more robust. Notably, this update brings big sync changes that keep your AI agents persistent across sessions. With this update, VS Code now supports cross-machine syncing for chat histories, touched files, repository contexts, and related PRs via GitHub accounts, tying users even more into Microsoft’s developer ecosystem. This update also introduces the new /chronicle command that allows you to query past sessions using natural language, generate instant standup reports, and get personal productivity insights. Microsoft has also made some improvements to network-dependent operations, it explains: “When a terminal command that is run by a local agent requires access to domains that are not configured as allowed domains, the command is automatically retried inside the sandbox with unrestricted network access. After that, if it still fails, it falls back to unsandboxed execution. This allows network-dependent operations such as git fetch to finish, while keeping filesystem protections in place.” Microsoft has not stopped there; in this update, it also allows developers to drag, drop, and pin multiple agent sessions side-by-side for easy code comparisons in real-time. It also introduces the Research Agent, accessible via /research. This is a read-only, depth-optimized tool that gets data from the web, local codebase, and GitHub to give you a Markdown report on complex APIs or unfamiliar code. Now, let’s talk about the integrated browser and some security enhancements. VS Code 1.123 features enhanced screenshot capture tools that allow for targeted Area Screenshots and Full Page Screenshots to send layout context instantly to AI chat. The address bar has also been revamped, supporting favorite pages and tab management. Finally, on the security front, this update introduces a safety-first two-hour delay on third-party extension auto-updates to safeguard against compromised or buggy releases. This release is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. If you have VS Code, keep an eye out for the update availability notification. If you still don’t have VS Code, you can get it here.
