How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
The tour of Microsoft Research continues...this is the final of three parts.
Here we meet Raman Sarin, who was part of the team that did a cool little Seattle-area traffic reporting and prediction application (we're dogfooding it here at Channel 9 and it saves us hours every month!). The other developers were Johnson Apacible and Eric Horvitz.
Also in the first part of the video is Eric and Susan Dumais, senior researcher. Susan and Raman worked on the search technology that's part of MSN's Desktop Toolbar Suite (really cool for searching everything on your machine).
Later you meet David Heckerman who is working on HIV research (HIV is the virus that causes AIDS), among other things.
Both David and Eric are actually medical doctors and met at Stanford. David, Eric, and others developed the spam filtering technology that's used by Hotmail. More details on that are here.
The two monitors on Raman's desk are two of the nicest monitors we've seen at Microsoft. Neat setup Raman!
If you missed the previous parts of the tour, here they are:
Part I - Graphic and Developer Tool Research.
Part II - Machine Learning and Information Overload Research.
By the way, Eric Horvitz has more information on his home page and has a survey on "consiousness in computing." That is a popular page and has gotten people to think in different ways about what consciousness.

Incredible work, Dr. Heckerman. Thank you.
In what stage is that HIV project now?
Charles, there is an interesting project going on to find a solution for cancer and YOU (and everybody else) can help too! More info.
Yes, we're working with teams in Perth Australia and at the UW, the Hutch, and Harvard.
We're in the process of writing a paper. When it's ready, we'll announce it on http://research.microsoft.com/bioinfo/.
Test-tube evaluations are underway with teams in Perth Australia and the UW.
Very cool stuff. Maybe one of the best videos yet.

Well, anyway...
This perhaps?

'Dogfooding it'
Microsoft acronyms, jargon and onomatopoeia.
