He's responsible for helping move technologies out of Microsoft Research and into Microsoft's products. Recently he invited Channel 9 to come over for a chat and a tour around to meet some interesting people inside Microsoft Research. Over the next week you'll see the tour -- some really interesting people work at Microsoft, including the inventor of the laser printer. Anyway, here's the interview with Kevin. If you want to hear more from Kevin, check out his weblog. By the way, did you know that Research now is publishing RSS feeds so you can always be up to date on the latest that they are working on? en Wed, 22 May 2013 14:55:57 GMT Wed, 22 May 2013 14:55:57 GMT Rev9 Re: Kevin Schofield - Inside Microsoft Research

Side question: in order to get a job in Microsoft Research do you have to have a PhD or be the inventor of something like a laser printer?  Just curious as to what the "bar" was set at for entry in that area.  Great video, by the way...hope to see more soon.

In general, you do indeed need to have a PhD or distinguished yourself in a research area. Lesser-qualified people can work in MSR, but they tend to be supporting developers, equivalent to grad students in academia. That's not to say that the RSDE's (Research Software Development Engineers) don't do any research -- they actually do get support for writing papers and so forth -- but they fill more of a supporting role in the research organization.

Neither voice nor video recognition is anywhere close to being able to offer a solution to this and that is not going to change in the foreseeable future.

In practice we will soon have the technology that will provide functionality analogous to a (digital)vcr with one long program of your life. You will be able to replay the events of a particular time but not much else. I expect it will be a pretty boring program to boot.

An average life has:

80 years * 365.25 days * 24 hours * 60 mins * 60 sec = 2,524,608,000 seconds


Recording at a reasonable quality:

@300K per sec = 757,382,400,000,000 bytes = 0.75 pedabytes
