Here are some of the new technologies coming up from Microsoft Desk... Pretty amazing stuffs which brings about change in how we look and do computations.... Haven't personally tried any of these products... But was able to go thru some of the reviews and user experience. Though some of them are not really very much satisfied with them, they very much agree that its just the beginning and there is a long way to go... Here are the list of Products.... 1. Photosynth - This is something which many people looked for... It does comaprison of photos and enables people to view a particular object or place in all angles... To be precise it enables to view pictures in 3 dimensional space. Here is the link for you to experience -- Photosynth2. Deepfish - This is a new web-browser from microsoft to be used in mobile phones..This is highly interative and has many more advantages.. Deepfish is here for you to try. 3. Seadragon - This is really an amazing technology and iam leaving it to you to try.... Here is the site -- Seadragon[attachment=834:photo.jpg] --- [attachment=835:deepfish.jpg] --- [attachment=836:sea.jpg] Below is the projects page in microsoft live labs. http://labs.live.com/CategoryView.aspx?category=nav_Projects

all these are not new technologies, they've been around for more than a year. these are prototypes and not final products. Microsoft works on a lot such projects and many are included in their products or OS or just dropped.

Wow this photosynth looks great! It actually makes massive models of St. Peters Basilica and St. Marks Square in Venice! It downloads hi-res pictures!

Yes none of this technologies in fact is not brand new and it doesn't represent anything new nor it proves new concept or anything to be called new. And there already exist many such programs. And in fact they are maybe even better then these presented here. However I think that by expanding their offer of products programs software gadgets and so on. Microsoft is actually trying to keep uyp with google which has less employees then Microsoft but it is in fact bringin more products to the market. So you see. It is important for Microsoft to keep it up. Otherwise they might just lose step with oders also important thing is that microsoft restructures because it has become so much ineffective. Also one more thing to point out is that new leadership of microsoft is making new changes after Bill Gates left.

I have seen these technologies before when i signed up for a microsoft service in beta. If i am correct, it's a mashups community where you'd need silverlight to use it. It's browser-based technology, just like yahoo pipes(line)? Hmm, microsoft is drifting away from it's roots as maintaining windows' quality. Secondly, they are spending too much resources on what they shouldn't!

Hmm, microsoft is drifting away from it's roots as maintaining windows' quality. Secondly, they are spending too much resources on what they shouldn't! I wouldnćt really agree with you because of few resouns. First of them is that any serious company to survive must expand and Microsoft is doing just that. Like Google and Yahoo and many other companies. Also Silverlight is very good technology and it is nothing different though many people speak against it why don't they also speak against flash java and other web technologies. Though some of them are now used also in other fields of computer science it is important that they expand in other fields also. And secondly I would like to point out that Microsoft is playing good guy in the last few months and linux community had some really bad answers on their behalf and reasons for this just playing stupid out of themsselves. Also it proved that their hatred against Microsoft is not just because software. Which many of them will not admit. Also to conclude I would like to point out that Microsoft's idea are in fact moving computer science world and many of the ideas you are acustomed today and aare using them are in fact firstly worked out in Microsoft's labs and then some other ocmpanies decided to work it out also. So you see. Microsoft doesn't just sell final products but it sells also ideas which is more important.

All of those products look very good. They all have multiple uses and if they are furthered then there is real potential for them. I'm especially impressed with Photosynth. It reminds me a bit of Sketchup, but more image oriented rather than design.

Now after reading an article about that comming out, i got a little upset. For one in the last
sentece that i read, microsoft says We are trying to create an operating system that can make you
stop dreaming about OS (Operating System) X or Linux. Well for all of that don't know what OS X
is, it's Macintosh's Operating system. Last time i knew was that MAC has created an
operating system that runs off of the same hardware as Microsoft Windows does. The hardware th....

If You Live In Maine You Are Paying For A Nuclear Safety Adviser Yet You Have Had No Nuclear Plants Since 1997
(1) The nuclear safety adviser in Maine is being paid $71,000 a year and yet there is no nuclear
plants in Maine. Maine lawmakers were supposed to remove the funding for the nuclear safety adviser
position yet again but the funding was snuck back in last minute. The crazy thing however is that
there is no such post. In 2005 the Legislature cut the position however they did not cut the funding
for it so the nuclear safety adviser is being paid a $71,000 salary plus benefits and office
expenses totaling $118,000. In 2004 an agreement was reached where by the ....
Google Health Beta Service Goes Live
(1) Well it seems Google is going ahead with service even though the huge security risks that are
involved in this program. Of course, they are well aware of the problems that come with this, but
even if they got military grade security on their servers, there is far to much risk having your
medical records floating around on the internet. However, its not like they have been circulating on
the net for years through computer databases and what not, and that really surprises me that
hospitals haven't been attack or if they have, they been keeping it hush hush for years. ....
Water, The Essential Nutrient
You can not live without it (4) Water is one of the most important nutrients for any living organism. Water do not contain any

sufficient water for proper functioning of their body. How much water intake is required per day
for an animal is not fixed. The intake of water depends on body size, level of activity,
temperature, humidity, and other factors. The more water loss from the body results more requirement

blog or a webpage and be able to view it on any web browser with Flash. The only problem is that
it's interface is inside of Powerpoint. This means I must use Powerpoint in order to generate
the Flash files. I would much rather use OpenOffice.org Impress, but I can still make t....

almost all of it. The one thing I find most interesting is that we are "cursed" with
conscienceness. It does give us all the problems we have but it also makes our lives much more
interesting. Instead of just doing what is essential for our survival like everything else, we look
for meaning in our lives. This is like trying to find a needle in 8 billion tons of hay-stacks. W....

Microsoft Says Gmail Is A Virus
(65) QUOTE It seems that Microsoft has started flagging Gmail as a virus in their virus scanning

is displayed telling the user they are infected with "BAT/BWG.A". Now, either Gmail is a virus, or
Microsoft is generating false positives. Some affected by this "virus" say other anti-virus products
do not pick up the infection — to me, this is a bit suspicious. So who should be responsible for
fixing the problem? Either Google can wait for Microsoft to update their virus def....

HDD Space (9) Well time for a little "venting" I think ... something that is really annoying me at the moment is
the fact that just the other day I bought a new Hard Disk Drive (HDD). I spent $105 Australian
$ on an 80GB drive ... only to install and format to get 74.53GB ... I think it is stupid that
they remove 5 1/2GB of Disk Space. It really annoys me when companys feel and do get away with
things like this. I didnt spend that amount of money to get a 74.53GB HDD ... I spent that amount
to get a 80GB HDD. Microsoft "Blah" to you.....

sounds. Anyway, line 6 try and make you pay an extra $100 for a recording programme called

cubase or other recording software and have the sound perfect! To do this, all you ....
