Microsoft demonstrates inexpensive wall based multi touch interface
2008-05-17 16:29:00
As early as June 2007 i had written a small article on "Microsoft Surface" the real magic. Well it now seems that the 'Surface' table wasn't big enough.Microsoft envisions your walls as computers. At the CEO Summit 2008 Bill Gates demonstrated the "Touch Wall ", a new hardware technology from Microsoft that creates a touch based white board interface that lets users interact more naturally with data and applications on their computer. However as per Microsoft the two products (Microsoft Surface and TouchWall) are completely different.Surface is a multi-touch and vision system that uses cameras to sense what is on the table, where it is and what it is doing. Whereas TouchWall consists of three infrared lasers that scan a surface. A camera notes when something breaks through the laser line and feeds that information back to the Plex software. While Surface retails at around $10,000, for TouchWall is just "hundreds of dollars".Heres a quick video demonstration of "TouchWall"

Welcome to the future - Grid Computing
2008-04-23 04:34:00
Grid computing provides a way of sharing computer resources such as processing and storage capacity for solving massive computational problems. The resources may include a dedicated cluster in an organization's computer room, an unmanaged cluster of workstations in the next building, or potentially a home PC on the other side of the world.Grid computing is the next evolution of enterprise technology architectures, and will furthermore revolutionize how businesses think about and manage their computing resources. More so than client/server or Internet computing, the technology will be more of a revolution in computing architectures and could spark a revival of the entire technology industry.Perhaps a more accurate way to look at grid computing is to visualise all the systems in an enterprise working together to create a powerful virtual mainframe, giving an organisation unprecedented access and control over computing and data resources, not only within the network but also across th...

Instant messenger has always been very useful to communicate between friends and colleagues over the internet.

Blu-ray has won the high-definition format war against HD
2008-03-04 18:55:00
Both formats, released in 2006, were backed by two projects from companies such as Toshiba and NEC Corporation of America for the HD DVD format along with Sony and Phillips for the Blu-ray format. Last month, Toshiba announced it was pulling the plug on its high-definition video disc format, HD DVD. Within days, Toshiba's partners announced that they were now Blu-ray shops.However HD DVDs were more compatible with regular DVDs. They used the same file systems as regular DVDs and could be produced by manufacturers with the same equipment used to make regular DVDs. Blu-ray discs didn't and couldn't.Two of the most likely scenarios that lead to Blu-ray winning the format war would be the Sony Playstation 3 and Warner Brothers, the largest distributor of DVDs, dropping the HD DVD format and then Wal-Mart announced that it would start phasing out HD DVD completely by June 2008.In the beginning HD DVD players ranged from $499-$799, while the Blu-ray players were anywhere from $500-1,50...

Posible options for Yahoo to avoid Microsoft
2008-02-11 08:04:00
In midst of the $45 billion (£23 billion) hostile bid from Microsoft , Yahoo is looking for all possible options. Yahoo is most likely to turn down the Microsoft Corp’s 44.6 billion takeover offer as reported by San Francisco Chronicle. So what are the options for Yahoo?Well, one option being explored is to restart merger talks with AOL - the online business owned by Time Warner group. Although Yahoo! and AOL previously failed to join forces because of differences over price, but with Microsoft eying Yahoo this could be the right time to look for an AOL alliance. On the other hand tie-ups with groups such as Google or Disney are also being considered by the yahoo board.A partnership with Google may allow Yahoo to outsource its search service, shedding the costs of running its own search engine and sharing ad revenue with its larger rival.In my opinion, the Microsoft-Yahoo deal has its pros and cons.Google doesn’t want this Microsoft-Yahoo alliance to go through for sure as Micro...

This new site allows anyone with a webcam to stream live video of themselves to a dedicated site.Although the service is still very much in its infancy and has been down at times. For now it only has few Live channels and about 500 online viewers, something that is expected to rapidly increase in a few days time when it becomes popular. It has a user friendly interface and I think it is worth to give it a try. The service combines many of the best practices developed by early explorers of the medium, tiny startups.Using Yahoo Live as many as five participants can do video and audio on one page together, it also has a chat option which gives users choice over fonts and colors and express themselves.Yahoo Live also has put up an API where users can use the service and get content out on other ...
