After several hours spent trying to get one of my circuits working and weird random signal glitch hunting, I finally figured out that the black bag Netduino came in is pretty conductive (measured ~2.5 kΩ across its longer side). Using it as a nice pad was not the best idea ever
Luckily Netduino itself was not affected, I have attached those rubber feet earlier. Now, I am not sure what is this information good for, but at least you can have a good laugh at me

Hi CW2,
Great observations...
The black bag is a carbon conductive bag.
It serves three purposes:
* it physically helps protect the Netduino during shipping
* it provides some ESD protection
* aesthetic good looks
Since it's conductive (similar to a metal-out ESD bag), I'd recommend against setting your Netduino on it--but as long as you've attached the free rubber feet you should be fine.
You can however use it as a stylus on your iPhone if you'd like

Hmm... now I just need a iPhone... (rofl)
